Coming in from the Great Crusade is the Cataphractii Terminator amor used by the Legio Astartes, sporting the original legion colors along with a number of fallout faction colors. Available for teen to elder, everyday, formal, sleep, athletic, swim, outerwear, career, and maternity. Requires into the future. Give how inhuman it is, some poses and movement will be very odd. Has no morphs. Big shout out to Joazzz for creating the armor and allowing me to port it.

I've finally managed to finish up the cataphractii terminator squad. It has taken me so long, all that is left to do of the Age of Darkness boxed set is one more tactical squad, which has been built.

Did I follow the instructions to the letter? No.

Am I happy I got these? Yes.

Next up, they will be painted in my homebrew Space Marine colours. Or "Battle Brothers" as per One Page Rules conventions.

Part 1 of making Cataphractii assault terminators: Prototype shield arm

I got the Vanguard Veteran squad for the weapons. I wanted to attach the shield to either a chainfist or powerfist arm. Keeping the hand on the shield would have required extensive resculpting of the arm, so I decided against it.

After clipping and sanding the hand on the shield away I had two options:

I decided on the chainfist, because the power fist still looked to power fisty with the shield. I used some greenstuff for a better fit and trimmed the outside of the armor a bit. The chainsaw part was also removed for obvious reasons. To cover up the blank space I glued some 1mm wire into it and made an entry point on the inside of the shield with a little blob of green stuff. In the end I got this

I am quite happy with the resutls. It took a bit over an hour but the process should be optimizable and included the descicion making.

The main problem for the next 3 will probably be the repeatability of the shield placement. I have tried to solve this by keeping she shield under the leathery bits from the shoulder but I'll have to see how this works with differing poses.

I would be happy about some more tipps or ideas

Lycaon Squad is finished and ready to rend flesh and metal alike.

I think painting five at a time might be my limit, I think for the next squad I'll try three at a time. Easier on my energy and my back.

But I'm super pleased with how these turned out, especially since Relic Terminators aren't street legal in 40k and there's no reference for them in Iron Snakes colors.

Cataphractii Terminators. Iron Fist, Sons of Horus, Space Wolf and Blood Angel. Colours are probably not canon to the lore but I wanted to paint them.

Long Post Abt World Eaters

Working on some World Eaters now. This guy is ready for oils and enamels. I did the armour by stippling with an old brush I have cut specifically for stippling. I did a grey primer and then stippled Celestra Grey, Celestra Grey/white, and then white in limited areas. Then I glazed some blue in the shadows to make the white more vibrant and strictly on the cool spectrum (more colour information is usually more interesting). Difficulty with this method is making sure moisture of brush is removed after thinned paint is applied to brush.

This recipe only took maybe 30 or so minutes to do a majority of the work. Usually my airbrush hits the executive dysfunction part of my brain and makes actually completing a miniature difficult. Taking it from airbrush station back to painting station back to airbrush for varnish back to painting station for oils. Well I've been using oils without varnishes and fine so far.

If I were to do a warm white I'd do less steps on the basecoat and really more on Burnt Umber oil wash. I wonder if I can do something similar with Paynes Grey. Could be an experiment.

This is the same mix but done with drybrushing. It's alright. Not sure which I like better. This one looks more like typical drybrushed crap texture so maybe I'll try tapping the actual brush on a damp sponge.

This is what it looks like as a wip, that horrible texture is less apparent. Still gave trim and blue glazing to do.

Both these look better than my older stippled WE imo

The one on the left is stippled. There is a big contrast in the shadows to the light areas. Just a diffe4ent look that I don't prefer. The one on the right is done with the airbrush.

Looking back a lot of those World Eaters I did don't spark too much joy. Maybe it's just the place in my life I was in at the time. Just bad feelings about them. Learned a lot about painting white though. And hey that Cataphractii on the right above is quite good imo and one of the only Cataphractii I've done that looks good. Those models are not fun to paint for me. They give me the ick. Don't like their shapes. Not friendly to my autism.

As a throwback here is my test model for my World Eaters, the first one I did ever as well as the first model where white was the main colour. The second model I did was greatly improved and was a gift for the girl I just started dating at the time and ofc us being still together I credit to my amazing skill in painting.

This of course in an amazing way fits the grimdark styling of 30k and I quite like it overall. I used a burnt umber/lamp black oil wash and learned the lesson of just how much an oil wash can darken a colour of a piece and progressively over many minis learned to push the white highlights higher and higher to fit my preferences. The Chainsaw is orange because of Chainsaw Man.

I think I'll start posting more of my old minis and projects and such. I have many pictures saved up.

I've been in a good groove with my hobby lately. Time away from painting has given me space away from my habits and a new perspective, learning to detach from old ways and learn new ones.

Can we all agree that cataphractii is objectively the best looking terminator pattern

No I can't shut the fuck up
