New paint Scheme

[Kjetil136]

I recently finished painting this terminator and i was wondering what tips anyone might have before i continue on and finish the squad.

Interesting base

The only things I can think of are:

• You could possibly do to water down your red paint a bit and do more layers. If you're careful it'll give you a smoother edge to your lines.
• Some of the red, especially on the helmet, would be improved by some darker shading. A thin line of dark red/brown showing at the edges would add more punch to the distinction. Ditto for the small shield.
• The skulls might benefit from a bit of shading, even if it's just a quick wash of brown or chestnut ink, possibly with a bit of black mixed in. Highlighting metals is more difficult than normal colours, though.

Other than that it looks fine, and I'm sure it'll have a good impact on the table top. The badge looks nice and clean - was it hand-painted?

I hand painted it, but i am hoping to print off some custom transparencies for the symbol. i need to get back to finishing that squad. got 4 more left. I was thinking about doing a distinction for the sargeant, mainly changing the color of the helmet.
My choices are gold, blue, black, or red.
Any thoughts?

I'd probably go for red as it would mark him out as different, be more obvious than gold, but still be in-keeping with the main scheme.
