WIP Space Hulk Terminators and CAT (12)




Bar the varnishing, the Space Hulk Terminators and CAT are complete. I've washed back the foliage so it's not such an in-your-face green now, and I think it looks a lot better. These two images are indicative of the final look - once the varnish is on, I'll reshoot the entire commission for a consistent photo set. As ever, click on the images above for a larger view.

Gday
I was wondering how you paint these terminators, what colours and is it with a airbrush?
Cheers

The initial zenithal work is done with an airbrush - working over a black undercoat it's VMC (Vallejo Model Color) Burnt Cadmium Red, worked up through GW Blood Red through VMC Amarantha Red through to a mix of VMC Sunny Skintone and Amarantha Red. Then the hand work begins - shading down with GW Asurmen Blue and Badab Black, and then glazing up through the same colours by hand to smooth everything out. The underlying zenithal work is primarily a guide for further highlighting by hand. A final glaze of GW Baal Red (thinned!) helps unify everything.
