How to paint a Deathwing Terminator - Initial concepts and Thought Process: Materials: 1 White Primed Deathwing Terminator (For this I used a Cyclone Termie) All Colors are Citadel: Bubonic Brown Bleached Bone Brown Ink Mithril Silver Blood Red Snot Green Dark Angels Green Enchanted Blue Chaos Black or Black Ink Flesh Ink |
Step 1 - Paint the entire Terminator Bubonic Brown. Water it down a bit to make sure it gets into the crevices. |
Step 2 - You can do this next step in 1 of 2 ways. I prefer to do it the messy way, simply because I can make sure I don't miss any spots. Just take your Brown Ink, thin it down a little bit, and slobber it all over the mini. |
Step 3 - The most important step. Get a very small detail brush, and go over all of the places you put the ink in the wrong places. IE not the panel lines. |
Step 4 - Take a mix of Bubonic Brown and Bleached Bone. I don't know the exact ratio, but this is the color you want. |
Step 5 - Thin it down to one part water, one part paint. Paint this on the inside of all the panels. Don't be afraid to |
Step 6 - Now you want straight Bleached Bone. Thin this down to 1 part water, 1 part paint again, and paint this on the inside of the previous step's highlights. You want to be a bit more careful this time around. |
Step 7 - Paint the Storm Bolter metal parts, in my case, the conductor things on top of the Cyclone Launcher, and the cables on the arms Mithril Silver. |
Step 8 - Paint the Storm Bolter casing, the dagger, the eyes, some wires, and once again, in my case, the Cyclone Missles |
Step 9 - Wash the eagle Dark Angel Green, and then paint the Front of the Cyclone the same color |
Step 10 - Paint the feathers, the top part of the dagger, the Crux Terminatius, and the Storm Bolter Icon Bleached Bone. Wash with Flesh Ink. |
Step 11 - Wash the Mithril Bits with either thin Chaos Black, or Black Ink. |
Step 12 - Paint the Deathwing Symbol on the right Shoulder Pad. I use Brother Lorien's method, which can be found on this great site. |
really lay down the paint in this step- there should be very little Bubonic Brown showing through. |
Blood Red. Paint the Lenses on the targeter Enchanted Blue. Next, paint the chest eagle, and rest of the wires Snot Green. |
Do the base as per your army is based, and you are done |
