Space Hulk terminator

[Griffit]

Greetz one and all,

I'm working on my first Space Hulk termi for the Lowlands painting competition in a few weeks.
let me know what your think.  I'm not planing on winning, but I am going to give it the best I've got

Very nice looking... I like the purple and reds, look nice together...

Lovely!!

I've got a team of them I'm planning for the LPL, so I'm afraid I can't show you them yet.

The only teeny tiny thing you could do would be to use a darker colour at the pointy end of the gems, then a small dot of pure White for reflection as opposed to the coloured dot. I tend to find it makes it that slightly more realistic/shiney looking.

@andym: Which gems are you talking about; all of them?
Thnx for the advice

[Andym]

The ones on the knee pad are the ones that struck me most. It would just make them stand out from the rest of the armour. A wee touch of gloss varnish on the gems once you've finished also helps for realism.

But honestly if you left it how it is, it's still brilliant!!!

a WIP shot of the base
It's going to be a desert theme with (red) purple candles
Much like these but with other colour of candle ofcourse.

C&c welcome

The terminator looks great.
Is it possible to add some scratches / damage / dirt?
In my opinion traces of wear and tear add to the overall impression.

Looks good, I so wanted to buy a copy of Space Hulk when it came out for my son and I to play but the wife would have killed me (and understandably so) for spending $100 on a board game  .

Fantastic!

I bought SPace Hulk when they re-released it...but I've only painted 1 lil Marine (and he's not really done yet)

Heh, I bought an original Space Hulk back in 1990 I guess.
My last genestealer got painted 2 years ago...

That's 18 years of fun for just 30 bucks or something like that 

about the battle damage; it brings a lot more character, but I don't feel confident enough for the job

Nice I like how the addition of the purple candles makes the purple awards on his armor pop...very nice job!
