My space hulk terminators

Thought id share a few of my space hulk terminators with you, finally got around to painting them, and been playing the game iwht my brother and girlfreind, we are loving it! soo hard as the marines though!























These (as with most of my models lol) are still WIP!

Anyone here play?

LOVE the Genestealers! I still have to paint mine... hehehe... That natural bone look is VERY well executed. Nice combination!


Btw, check DeafNala's Work on my Termies.

I was going to paint my Space Hulk Genestealer to match my army, but after seeing them with that albino look, you can just say that they've been locked up on a ship for a long time.

Care to share the colors you used? To me it looks like you have white with black wash and white highlight on skin, a dark grey with a drybrush of light grey on the carapace, bone on claws/teeth and light green on the tongue.

obs: it's not necro if it's still one of the top threads, is it?

Nice work - I particularly like the genestealers - the white/bone in ace!

Laney:D

Thanks guys! The genestealers were quite tricky to get right, I done them one of two ways,

1 white undercoat, a dark brown wash, gives a nice tone to lay the bleached bone on top! I find blacks too harsh, then layer up to the bone colour, start with a coffee colour like mix, then gradualy build up to the bleach bone, make sure you thin those paints or it will be way to thick! Then highlight with a 50:50 mix of bone and white, tthe claws were sunburst yellow, highlighted with 50:50 sunburst and bleached bone, eyes were goblin green highlighted with 50:50 green and yellow, same as tongue

2 all the same as above only instead of white undercoat, start black and build up the colour from brown to the bone.

as for the carapace, on the broodlord it was black with grey highlights, and on the normal stealers was just the same brown wash painted thinly over so to stain the white colour

hope this helped

Nice work. They are really interesting models. I love what GW is able to do with plastics the last few years.

l'm gonna give it a try on some genestealers, even thou it's got nothing to do with my color scheme. That broodlord really got me =p

glad I have inspired some ill post pics of them when I have time, coz these are near enough finished now

I'm intending to play, once my city is done. And my space hulk is done... and i've painted my termies... and the stealers... so yes - intending...

You will enjoy it! The mission in the book are very hard to win with the space marines! I have played one or two that were easy for them, but the vast majority requiere planning and a great tactical mind! Plan out ur mission before you play! Thats my best advice, most if not all of your terminators will die lol

we always take on more than we can chew us modellers! I have vowed not to buy any more models until I have painted all that I have! (with the exception of the prisoner exchange :p

very nice work, been meaning to do mine for ages!....ill get round to it one day

Looking really nice!
I envy you, not only for your good painting but also for the fact that you've managed to get a hold of a Space Hulk box!

These look fantastic!!

My Space Hulk itch has been flaring up recently, and I think this will make it worse...

I managed to play, one game, this past summer with a friend who then went back to grad school in Virginia, and my box has been sitting idle ever since.

Seeing as Space Hulk is intergral in my secret plans to lure a couple of my friends into full fledged DS addictions, I could probably use some extra push towards getting games organized.

Thanks for the pics! I really like the color scheme for the genestealers. I had forgotten just how much detail they managed to cram onto those terminators. Awesome job on bringing all the decals, etc. out!

Not to hijack, rhuntar... but you should check DeafNala's Work on my Termies.

PS: I still love Stryke's Genestealers!

Thanks man!

I just wanted to do something diff with the stealers, I was fed up of the blue/purple. always thought it to be a bit naff looking, wanted something resembling Geiger's alien, but ended up being more bone coloured than I would of liked still looks nice though
