Cheers for the kind words on the Terminators guys, have to say I love the feeling of finishing a squad I know will now be seeing play for years to come.

 

I made an early start into  the Riddler and just got some thin basecoats down. The green so far is just thinned Caliban Green. usually I start with a mid-tone and paint in the shadows but I was afraid if i put it on straight over the pre-shade it would wash it out and make it look very pastel. Nothing kills vibrancy like white. A couple of other colours have been put in, just to give me an idea where I’m going. It’s been a while since I dealt with a metal mini from Knight models so it’s a bit of an adjustment back to their casting. I still can’t understand their inability to do chins and fingers properly.

I’ll add in more Caliban Green/Abaddon Black to the recesses to really darken it down and then start building up the lighter shades.

 

I’ve to meet a friend for lunch soon but I’ll do more on him when I get back. Then later tonight my housemate and I are going to take a look at U-Boot. We set it up last night so we’re ready to go. Looks awesomely detailed.

 

I’ll get back on later with an update on the Riddler.
