Last Terminators Squad For A While.

 


The last squad of Indomitus pattern Terminators for a while. The new Cattaphrattii Terminators are released this Saturday {14/02/2026}... And I have a voucher for £10 off... I might have a run down to Wigan on Saturday. 




This squad got the ushabati bone base coat, a nuln oil wash and the screaming skull layer. 



I got in last night and finished the red detailing, leaving the night warrior base coat, and nuln oil wash tonight and hopefully I can get the leadbleacher highlights on before bedtime tonight, oh yeah, bases need doing to. 

Need to add some agrax earthshade shade to my shopping list. 

Whatever happens I'm finishing this month's Vow when I get this squad finished.

More Terminators.

 After taking a week to finishing the thunder hammers and storm shields squad off, I've jumped right in with another 2 squads of Terminators.


These 5 are obviously for The Lion's Blades, the painted plasma cannon is just to take as an option for warhammer world his usual load out is going to be the assault cannon. 

I've already got them up to the screaming skull stage, but no photo, which leaves details to do.

Hoping to get them finished on the nights after I finish work this week.

I'm also thinking the rechargeable battery in my head set is going as it feels like I'm recharging after every use.


Squad 2 another 8 Terminators for the Wolf Pack.. Pretty sure these will be in the February to March Vow. 

Now how dis I do on the January Vow?

Close Assault Terminators, Harlequin Solitaire and a Classic Khorne Lord


 I had a couple of hours Tuesday morning before heading to the post office to pick up the latest combat patrol package. Now they've switched to evri, I switched to getting it delivered to the local post office to pick up, I've got 10 Hybrids and the Goliath rock crusher this time and I'm at issue 70.

Before I went to the post office I made sure to start the ushabati bone base coat on the Solitaire, 10 terminators and a Khorne Lord in Terminator Armour that I got built the other day.




I'm painting this for the Wolf Pack, I'm already regretting this for the amount of trim involved. 

Will do the sepia wash on the Solitaire weapons and belt and nuln oil wash on the Terminators when I get home on Wednesday night.

Wednesday I borrowed a ruler from work to blue tak half of the close assault to so I could paint them. I decided to buy another traunch of shoulder pads so I don't have to swap the shoulder pad on each set of arms, but those pads aren't arriving till next week, so plan to fix the pads to arms when I get home Friday and get the base costs on the arms, Thunder hammer and storm shields, and shoulders.
As well as grab bone Terminator out of the box so the new guys match the old guys.

Friday when I got home I sorted out the hammers and shields and tacked them on the ruler, glued the paldrons on and got them up to the detail phase.

Saturday was a good day, I got my new glasses, cooked trini fried and very nearly finished the Terminators off. 

All that is left to do is highlights on the iron warrior bits and this is it, all the Terminators are mine! 
I mean I'll get them out for a company photo, separate what I'm taking to Warhammer World and the Blade Guard Veterans, put those in their box for now, with the plan to put squad them up properly, with base rings painted and repair those that need repairing.



The Solitaire the Pimeä Ritari {dark Knight in Finnish}
I keep losing arms for this guy, either the tac I have is old, it's old, or the new one just isn't very good.
I found the missing sword arm last night and will finish that off today, Sunday. 
I'm thinking of doing the tessellations in red and blues, now red shifting light is moving away from your view point isn't it?
I did a quick Google search on that to see what would happen.

Satanine on Saturday


 

5 more finished for the Million Miniatures Pledge.

I ended up moving so much stuff around looking for the evil sunz scarlet I found the 2 axes that I'd lost from the first squad of Wolf Pack Terminators.

The Satanine Terminators are so much of a faff to do.

I like them I really like how they look and I'd love to do a regular 5 man squad just to see how they'd look but cost and the faff, maybe if I didn't do them with the wet blending I'd feel better towards them. 

and 5 as a 

So next up is the Solitaire and then those 15 Terminators, 10 as close assault and 5 as a regular squad.

The last of the eBay rescue stuff arrived in the week and was cleaned up and once the last of the Terminators are done it's back into the Wolf Pack with the red Butchers and 3 others to make a second squad of 8. The Combat Patrol release seems to be doing the guard next so the Khorne Berzerkers stuff is last, thanks Hatchette for messing up my plans.

Terminator Captain



The Captain is nearly done, just base and details, plan to do those bases and the Chaplin's done tonight.

Will check around for the Satanine Arms in the morning with daylight, as I'm doing a trip out tomorrow. Should be able to get the earthshade wash on all 4 bases in the morning and hopefully find the administratum grey to highlight the Chaplin.

Captain, Satanine, Harlequin and Chaplin

 Made a start on the black based Terminators, with the Captain, Chaplin and Satanine Terminators. 


I did the green highlights on those shoulder pads and the captain, once those were sorted I painted the Captain's sword and storm bolter. I did dig the helmets and weapons out for the Satanine Terminators and could only find 2 arms in the box to attach the weapons to. 

Rather than look for the missing arms or greys for highlights on the Chaplin I went and started the old metal High Avatar of the Laughing God, I started with the blue hair and did the macro plasma reactors on the Satanine Terminators. 


The weapons had an ushabati bone base coat with a sepia wash, screaming skull layer and a wraith bone highlight.

The yellow was started with an averland sunset base coat, orange wash, with a yeril yellow layer and a flash git highlight.

The bow, the ankle tag armour and the towel are all troll slayer orange, with an orange waah over it. Looking at the bow, I'm going to go through my paints and find something that will work as a high light on that, same for the ankle armour. The ankle bangle I'm thinking of doing gold, when I get the gold out for the Chaplin.

The First Wolf Pack Terminators

 Squad 1 is nearly finished, I'm just looking at grass on the base tomorrow, oh and finding both arms I've managed to loose.

There was a photo to go here but it was too blurry and I deleted it, so I'll get that when I get back home before I mix the glue for the bases. 



The only things left to do are find the 2 Arms that I've misplaced and buy some more PVA glue for flocking for the bases 

Plan A for Saturday

 glue the assault and Satanine terminators and to the bases,

 Wigan for the pledge, buy more glue and a base brush or 2

Bulid Havocs, Legionairs, dark apostle, Berzerkers, helbrute, check the red butcher's for repairs. Turns out the red butchers are magnetised so 1 less worry, I just need to to get a left handed combi bolter and arm to work on for 1 of them. 



Kharen is in there for this photo but as she's not a GW mini, she doesn't actually count to my total. 

There are 3 more Terminators to go with the red butchers to make another squad of 8, a Ragnar Blackmane and a Wolf Priest coming  from ebay. Beyond that I'm possible going to get the head takers to use as 8 bound 

I might get the 30k wolf headed squad and run them as veterans in the chaos side of this army. 

I am also thinking of using one of the power armour squads to build another legionary squad. 



So I removed her for this picture that I'm sending to Wigan. 

Here's the Satanine, close assault terminators and the 2 Harlequins I'm doing. 
On the table right now as it was getting towards midnight when I went to bed are the Havocs, the other squad of terminators, the Chaplin and the Captain built and the Berzerker squad which I'm building when I've got up and gone and bought some milk as I'm running low, so build those, photo here, send the above images to Wigan, find another sword for the Solitaire, start the Satanine Terminators, Chaplin and Captain as they're all going to be black.
