The Roost of Turkadactyl

Here’s another project that has been overdue for a while.  I completed five Assault Terminators with thunderhammers and storm shields a couple of years ago.  I was also working on five more for the squad at the time (four with lightning claws and one with a thunderhammer and storm shield) but turned my attention elsewhere.  Now that the Caestus Assault Ram is assembled it sure will be nice to roll out ten terminators from that transport.

These photos were taken after the models were dipped and decals applied.  I painted the box on top black to represent the squad.

Now is the finished product.  I’ve painted over the varnish excluding the recesses and included the highlights.  Due to the curve of the shoulder pads I am forced to cuts the decals so they lie flat.  I paint over the decal to cover the cuts.  Sure, I could freehand the icon but I find it much easier to use the decal as my guide.  Think of it as paint by numbers.

Now the whole gang is ready to come out and play.

I’ll love to see this lot roll out of the Caestus Assault ram.
