the whole model was undercoated with Skull White Spray followed by a basecoat of Averland Sunset. While the Averland Sunset will cover the undercoat in a single layer, I find that two thinner coats work better to avoid the coverage being too thick. The next stage was to wash the whole model with Seraphim Sepia and Reikland Fleshshade in a 4:1 mix. While the Sepia shade works well on its own, the hint of red in the mix really adds depth to the recesses of the model's armour.


The next stage was to apply a second layer of Averland Sunset to the armour while leaving the shade in the recesses. This is probably the most time-consuming part of the process. I then created a 2:1 mix of Averland Sunset and Screaming Skull and used it to highlight the armour panels. The last stage was to apply an edge highlight to the armour using pure Screaming Skull. At this point the models looked very pastel, but a glaze of Lamenters Yellow tied all the colours together and gave the Terminators a much more vibrant appearance - very fitting, I feel, for the sons of Dorn. You can also see the final colour scheme that I chose for my power swords. Thanks go out to everyone on Facebook who helped me choose it.
