At last, it is complete. Today I spent around five hours painting the Terminator Squad Sergeant. I really tried to make this one as good as I could. For the most part, I am fairly happy with it. However, I can see the flaws in my technique. That is a good thing, however, as it can only make me better to know where I can improve.
So here it is. The images in this post are not reduced; I wanted the best resolution possible. Click on the images for larger versions.
Some of the freehand on the banner is a bit rough, and again the chest emblem was a little too filled in by the undercoat. I am happy about the detail on the power sword, storm bolter and the face. It is not super-obvious, but I did put some writing on the banner plaque; uses a thin felt-tipped pen, and then covered with the gloss varnish.
I tried some of the layering techniques to try to get some definition in the facial features. I think it is fine, but the technique needs some work.
So, there it is. The Terminator Squad is complete. I have a Devastator Squad (standard Space Marines with heavy weapons) in the box, but I think I will take a little break from painting. Let me know what you think.
All I can say is I'm most impressed. You can definitely see your technique improving with each figure. I wish I had the chance to sit down and do some of mine....
