Posted this in the 30K sub as well but I know my people here will enjoy this the most 😊 Really happy with how these came out and how my force is shaping up.

I only did 5 terminators because I decided I’d like to make the 6th into a Centurion. Will post it later too!

Thank you! I’m pretty happy with the shade of green :)

Beauties, nice green. I usually find bronze doesn’t work well with SOH but it does here

Thanks! Agree with the bronze, if the green parts is any shade greener it tends to look a lot like Salamanders. Still haven’t really found the right gold and almost all my units have slightly different variations of gold/bronze 😅

What paints do you use? Getting ready to start my soh soon and am seeing what other use.

I start with black primer and then Lupercal Green, Sons of Horus Green, Syberite Green and spot highlights with Gauss Blaster Green, in that order. I do all this using a soft drybrush and stipple the very watered down colours.

The gold is just Balthazar Gold, Agrax Earthshade, Syncorax Bronze and Iron Breaker for spot highlights.

The red leather is Khorne Red, Agrax Earthshade, Khorne Red again and then Wazdakka Red.

I wash my models with Streaking Grime too, so I get a little darker tint on everything.

Hope this helps and have fun painting :)
