Didn't really want to repost all the pictures here for conservation of data space for the board owners.
I would appreciate any comments and suggestions from the group here.

I like it so far, but your terminators don't have bone feet, which they should have according to your color scheme pics. Other than that, I have no other criticisms.

Same thing I was going to post.
Your "ravenwing" looks good and love the white stripes on the helmets.

Anyway, on to the show! 360 degree view:
My wife's commentary on the bone foot is "It looks like a sneaker/running shoe!" I'm thinking she's wrong, but I could probably push the Bonewhite (Bleached Bone) up more to the joins so the lines across the foot aren't so broad/heavy.
Edit: old images removed, especially since they didn't look great. Find the new Deathwalker Terminator Prototype here!
What do you guys think?

Any thoughts? I'm not wanting super-bright highlighting, but I'm thinking that just going from black to 1:1 Black:Fenris Grey then pure Fenris probably wouldn't be that great. What do people think would look good for the black highlighting, I haven't actually done any black highlighting at this point.

I did notice one thing, on the "ear" of the Termie, because of the white, you can see the "flash" on it. I have a hard time taking them off myself and never notice until a pic is taken of them, just letting you know. I also love your purity seals, great job on the written words.

Excellent work BB, really nice grimdark paint scheme and tidy paintwork.I'm also looking at highlighting my black on the armor plates, I have Fenris Grey and Shadow Grey (VGC Sombre Grey) to make a more blue hued deep grey, Codex Grey (VGC Cold Grey) and Fortress Grey (VGC Stonewall Grey) for a more pure grey highlight, and VMC German Grey and VMC Dark Grey for a very dark grey color. I'm also looking at mixing black with any of the above to move from black to any of the above.

Your repainted termy is first rate. I like the effort you put in to the 'gem' style eyes and lenses. Also the fire painted on a few of your vets shoulders is cool.
As for highlights, have you tried just using gunmetal lightly on the edges, it looks great on vehicles and would probably look equally good on dark termies. kind of like battle damage... Fortress grey is also a good highlight colour needs to be applied with the edge of a brush to keep it from being glunky though, you're up to it I'm sure.
On the down side your bases are way too plain for such well painted models, I hope you will upgrade these when you get time too


Can't wait to see more..

Suggeston...if you do bone on the supports in tha calfs...do also the horizontal ones up to the shinguard. It looks a bit odd right now.

Stoneburners WIP
I'll try to keep my updates more confined to one thread, hopefully it won't be as spastic.
I would definitely like to know what you guys think, here or there!
Thanks for the suggestions on the highlighting and supports. Haven't done the battle damage, I'm waiting on getting more done to see if I can do it as a group.

Stobz, thanks a ton! Yeah, basing is waiting until the army is mostly done, or until I have a good idea. I'm open to suggestions, as I was thinking of some kind of ash wastes or red desert with dead grass, but I'm not quite sure what would look good with the black and bone feet both.
Tanhausen, what do you think of the bone supports for the Terminator?

Beautiful...its looking great!

Thanks! I think it works well, but I think I need to work on my shading some more for the bone. I don't think it has enough depth. I'll probably go back with some of the Bestial Brown+Bleached Bone color and try and shade down some toward the black on the bottom of the cross-ways supports.
I think my issue with highlighting the black is that I don't want to make it too gray looking, but at the same time, I feel like the way the light actually plays on the black of the model necessitates more highlighting that simply going over the edge, which will definitely cause some graying, as the only way I can think to do a more realistic highlighting would be using a NMM methodology. This would clash with the metallics I've already done though, and limits the viewing usefulness of the paint job, which would definitely interfere with my enjoyment while playing with the model in a game.
Really not sure on the basing scheme.

First up, Deathwalker prototype: Link
Boneseeker Tornado, painted the first layer of metal, washed to darken on the assault cannon, still need to highlight the entire model. The underside of the wings was painted lighter than previously done and I tried to paint the leading and back edges of the wings to blend between the bleached bone top to darker coloration on the bottom. Unfortunately I think it turned out more as a stark line, so I may need to go back and try and layer those edges better.
As far as basing, I've been looking at four examples from the GW site.
I'm concerned that the arid/desert type base would look too much like the sandy colored robes. Honestly, I favor first two, but I've been considering adding in a bit of dark red to either of the two schemes to distinguish the terrain as abnormal and provide some tie in to the power weapons, which I hope to redo as a more red iron/steel appearance. Which base would probably look best compared to what I've gotten painted so far?
Edit: Selected Basing Scheme:

As fot the bases...from those 4, I like the last (the one that comes alone on the left of your post).

With enough texture but simple so it doesn't overload visually... perfect for a tactical
