Paniced A Bit

 I spent 2 hours looking for the original Saturnine Terminator I have, at least I tidyed up my bedroom a bit. 

This guy is going to be dwarfed by the new guys

I'd reached the point where I was thinking I'd lost it somehow. 

Bring Your Child To Work Day

Or " Something old and something new" I might change the title later. 

Probably not. 

I got the old metal captain in Terminator Armour painted yesterday with the green highlights, the base does needs an agrax earthshade wash and a tidy up. 

The new Leviathan captain is nearly finished, the belt needs finishing and the hair and earphones and I need to recharge the battery in my headset which is the plan for when I get home Friday as I only have 1 of usb cables and that's in my work bag 

This squad is made up of random suits as I had the Tartarus spare and the 2 Cattaphrattii characters from 30k that I bought and started painting last year. I've got 10 shields so both this squad and the Cenobite squad can be run as Deathwing Knights. 

I also got the black templar contrast on 1 of the Cenobite Cattaphrattii. So much faffing it's going to get the armour done, then the loin cloth, cloak and hood, then spend what's left of that day finishing the first one off and hoping to get the details done on the other 4 as and when I can. 

The shields I'm planning two blocks of 5 with different rim colours tieing the 2 squads together, along with matching base rim. 
 

Progress Wednesday The 14th

I'm rather rusty on uploading photos still. I did the Combat Patrol Warrior Prime after I'd finished the squad this morning, but uploaded that photo in the wrong order... 

I started with the Warrior to make another grey scale nid, there is some wet blending on the wings. I can't actually see it when I look with my eyes but the camera caught it.

I'll put this in a draw and use as foil in the more action photos I try sometimes. 

  I'm still looking for a mini that's in stock that I can use to round the squad up to 6.

And after nearly a year sat in a bag doing nothing, I finally got the Cenobites together well the bodies 

Is It Real?

Those leaks. 

Well I'm certainly going halves on a box for the dread and the Terminators. 

I can't see myself using this guy in the way I'd sort of hoped to  so will just have to paint him bone and brass 

This makes sense if these guys are all packing heavy weapons to make them squads of 3, so that's 2 squads of these with a 3rd squad if/when the multi part kit is released. Just hope we aren't waiting for that as long as we have for the assault terminators... 

I wonder how big this guy is going to be? 

And of course they'll be this and probably one of the multi part kit when that gets released 

Monthly Vow.

 First one in nearly a year...

I've not bitten off more than I can chew... I had to much other stuff going on this morning that I didn't get the inner circle companions touched, which means they'll get finished in next months bow. 

The plan for Wednesday this week is assemble the remaining 5 30k cattaphrattii terminators with yesterday's Touring Cars on catch up TV, get the Companions finished and get that company champion painted black. If the champion is done with time to spare I'll start on the green highlights on him and the Terminator captain. Thursday is the grey blending on Warrior Prime with the last of Andor. Beyond that is hard to say as I've not done the rota yet but I do know time is going to be less as someone has left and we now need to cover a full time hours plus 4 sleeps a week. 

Review Time

I'd bought these off a mate last year and had left them in a box as the drive wasn't there. I do like the tiny little guys, and I remember being impressed by them when I bought Space Hulk, but now they look their age. It's going to be fun to put these put beside the Terminators that Valrak is sure are in the Heresy box to see how smol they are. 

Speaking of smol. When I came across the Deathwing expansion Librarian for £13 on ebay, I though "does the seller have brain damage?" quickly followed by checking my bank account and clicking buy. I dug through the combat patrol I'd got knowing I had the new Librarian in Terminator Armour there and got that together and painted alongside the old guy. 

I got all 3 of these built and base coated, okay the champion I was going to go bone with but then chose a different way. 

The captain needs something to stand on so I'm looking for guard /gene stealer cult to use for this. 

And lastly there's the Tartarus Sgt for the Space Hulk squad. The other bolter arm was for a different Tartarus Terminator who'd originally had the plasma blast gun the Sgt now has, in game terms it'll be a combine plasma or just straight up say storm bolter. 

This is so, so close to done, another month and I'm back to waiting for GW to release the assault terminators box to have them finished, who's wants to bet which comes first, the Heresy box or the Assault terminators? 

I Have A Plan.

 This is going to mean an alteration to the plans I'd already put in place this week and a root through storage to find the old metal Satanine terminator or I can throw the last Tartarus terminator in with these.

So plan B

Terminators 

I'll put all of these into 1 squad, I'll need to source 10 shields to be able to call these another Deathwing knight squad, just in black with the green highlights. Just so it's clear I'm using the captain I got in Combat patrol, not repainting the Celebrants captain. Will check ebay for shields.

The Inner Circle Companions. 

The Inner Circle Companions squad is getting expanded to 6, the 3 robed Companions are going to joined by Corswain and the Company Champion. I'm going to have a long browse through Forge World store to see if there's a character from a different Legion I can use to bring this up to a 6 Astartes strong. 

My Corswain is done, and I'll have the Companions done before I set off for work on Monday, hopefully, otherwise those 3 will get finished on Wednesday, which leaves the Champion to do with the other 10.

Edit to include the current state of this squad 

Terminater Captain, Alpha Warrior, Inner Circle Companions

 Yesterday was a bit of a building day, I managed to get the 3 Inner Circle Companions built and was having a bit tidy up, decanting paints, checking the marines and other stuff.

Yes stuff is everywhere but once I get these sorted I'll be able to tidy the table up a bit before I start the next bit as I'll need a lot less colours. I'm giving myself until Wednesday to finish the 4 Marines I've got on the table, the alpha is going to get slid to June as it's going to be grey scale again. 

This is the Sgt for the Space Hulk Terminators squad in finished form. 

And this is how it was painted, the storm bolter arm is ona different terminator.
