I've been playing around with my new toy (airbrush) and I needed a project to practise on. A couple of years ago I bought the Space Hulk boxset (2nd edition). I figured Terminators and Genestealers would be the easiest miniatures to paint with an airbrush. Right now, I'm trying to paint a squad of Blood Angels Terminators. After three attempts this is what I got.
It's hard not to make them look like pumpkins, but that's just a color issue. Red isn't the easiest of colors to start with. The blendings are real nice and hard to capture on the picture. The right shoulder pad of the last picture has a good representation of the actual color. I also gave it an oil wash of Burned Umber and sealed it with Testors Dull Coat. You should really try the oil wash, magical stuff.
