Emperor's Children Indomitus Terminator Test Model

This is the first painted Indomitus Terminator for a new Emperor's Children squad of thunder hammers and storm shields!


I very much like the colour scheme here. The purple of the Emperor's Children combine well with the gold helmet and the whites of the shoulder pads. I have applied decals from the Emperor's Children set to the model to round it out and really like the way it looks. 

The base here was a bit of an experiment in crackle technical paints. Due to the flaky nature of the technical paint, I went over it with slightly watered down PVA glue combined with some drops of paint to ensure that it stuck down to the base. This mostly worked, but it did disturb some of the flakes upon application.

All was not lost though. 

I think the flakes that were disturbed actually make the base look even better. They give a sense of either very uneven ground, or perhaps the weight of the terminator stomping through the terrain. Either way, very happy, and the flakes no longer are at risk of coming off at all. Some dry brushing rounded out the base.
