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.
