Termagant Fun! (Part 5)

 You got to see a preview of these guys at the end of part 4, now I'm going to talk about them in a bit more detail. 


These guys were painted  primarily using Contrast Paints. Skeleton Horde on the gun, claws and teeth. Ultramarines Blue on the armored parts of their bodies and Leviathan Purple on the rest. 


And I think this not only makes for a nice base coat but it's a decent 'battle ready scheme as well. Especially when you have a horde of these things to paint. 

And the hive node / back-brain thing was based using Applebarrel Terracotta

Ultimately these will be colored up to my Hivefleet's scheme. Of Particular note is the fleshborer which will end up green. But I thinking about making it a bit more multicolored. We'll see whenever I get back to them.

I was everso tempted to pick up that Space Marine board game set from Target if only to have the Termagaunts and Captain whatshisface minis. Would be good additions to my GSC force. THYen I realised that my GSC force is unpainted as it is (!!!) so no, no adding to that mountain.

Never seen 'gaunts in the classic Genestealer scheme before - I like how it looks on them though.

(Out of curiosity, I have some original plastic Warriors from my old Advanced Space Crusade game that I'm never going to paint/build/use - any use for you sir?)

Dai, thanks, I like how it's turned out so far as well. Regarding the warriors,, yes,I would love to get my hands on those. I have enough to do a unit of 3 models but I have always wanted to do more. Reach out to me via email if you want to explore this further.
