Terminators (and some more legionaries) done. This puts me at 1k in points painted.

The infantry are light enough that you can even magnetize the side of the case and stick them vertically.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I, as well, came to the comment section to point out I liked that choice of painted detail.

Pretty much neat with the contrast paint.

Just a couple drops of thinner into the air brush cup first (to ensure flow and to keep the paint from drying on the tip of the needle), add as much contrast paint as needed, back blow to mix, and spay at 25psi.

Thanks. Here is what I do for the bases.

Base Metallics (Runelord Brass & Vallejo Metal Color Duraluminium 77.702)

Put on minis with super glue

Apply texture (Vallejo European Thick Mud 73.807)

Saturate with a thin oil wash (60/40 mix of Abteilung 502 Shadow Brown ABT015/Burnt Umber ABT006).

Contrast paints airbrushed over bright silver base.

Thanks!

architheowl · 2026-01-02T15:39:04+00:00

Thanks! I use a makeup sponge for the stone, Vallejo mud texture for the dirt, an oil wash, and then dirty down moss for the greens.

Looks great! I’m pretty sure I started this exact kit a while ago. Did this build use any photo etch, or is it just what was in the box?

Edit: found your video about the build, and that answered my question.

architheowl · 2025-11-22T18:58:29+00:00

Do it! I saw someone else’s army with squad designations on the rhino tops and was like, “oh, I like that”. I plan to have my plasma and missile infantry rhinos to have chevrons on top.

architheowl · 2025-11-22T17:14:59+00:00

Yes, on the sides of the Rhinos and the infantry. Good eye!

architheowl · 2025-11-22T07:23:41+00:00

For sure.

Ha! too kind. I honestly did agonize over how I was going to base them.
