40k Deathwing Terminators by Bothi
Back in Business: 5 Relic Termis
It’s been over 2 years since I last worked on this project. And with the new Dark Angels Supplement for 40k, I decided to revisit this army and paint up a few more Minis.
But in those 2 years a lot has changed. Colors had dried up. I at least tried to improve my edge highlighting. Contrast paints were invented. I bought an Airbrush. I moved, got a new job. What do you know…
So I decided to stay more or less true to the look of the army, but also try to improve on my older techniques. Here is what changed to instructions far below:
- edge highlighting with the side of the brush and not the tip (why did nobody tell me that before)
- much more diluted paints
- OSL via the airbrush
- replacing all the greens, reds, greys and browns with their new contrast paint counter parts
- magnetizing a few weapon options here and there
- buying a new can of dip
- using a much larger brush for drybrushing
- using some technical paints for lenses and lasersights
But. I am still a speed painter at heart. So I “only” spent a bit over an hour on each of these. Less than 6 hours for the entire squat (excluding some breaks to let the dip dry etc.)
The entire squat including the Watcher in the Dark
Specialist with Stormbolter
Same Model with Grenade Launcher and Autocannone
The Bunny Sarge

One guy had to be jumping again
I think the OSL is much smoother with the airbrush, but I am still learning (see those bubbles?)
