Retro Painting: DEATHWING Terminators for the ORIGINAL Space Hulk Expansion

During a dangerous expedition into the depths of the attic, I found my copy of "DEATHWING", the 1990 Expansion to Games Workshop's original Space Hulk board game. The box's contents are sparse, but the lore, art and mission design more than makeup for this.
READY THE BOARDING TORPEDO - It's time to dig out the lead and paint up some Terminators...

Your free hand Dark Angels symbol shoulder pad is both excellent and a great tutorial on how to paint something fiddly! I'd never considered painting the larger part and then covering over the bits where you want spaces with the base colour. Looks great!

All of my terminators in my custom Space Marine chapter are the old-school metal models from 1990-1992, just like yours. I poured my heart and soul into painting them, and wouldn't dream of getting rid of them. However, when they're stood up against the newer models, they look so incredibly small! It's pathetic, and saddens me. 😭

@edpaintsminis 7 ай бұрын

I feel that this era of terminator is better than the one in the mid-nineties, although the Wolfguard and Deathwing ones were seriously cool, I much prefer the old storm bolter and flamer design. Kudos for the custom chapter - The Emperor Protects.

Keep up the good work and glad early Games Workshop is getting some love. I got my start with 2nd edition in the early 90s, and had the original print of Space Hulk. I miss the old models, vibrant paint schemes, and tongue in cheek craziness of early 40k. I was never good at painting, but loved kitbashing which led me to the worlds of Necromunda and Mordheim.

also, dont be so hard on yourself with the eye glow - experimentation is an excellent part of the hobby. If you want to try ti again use a really watered down green and build up layers, so it's not the same colour as the eye and looks more opaque like a glow. Keep up the great work.

You're videos are as comforting as chicken soup. Love the tone and vibe. An alternative I suggest for the white armor is just going over it with apothecary white thinned down to reduce the grey filter on flat surfaces if you want to avoid having to do your mix. Lovely minis as always!

@edpaintsminis 7 ай бұрын

Thanks so much! Tbh, the basilicanum/medium mix was because I don't own Apothecary white. If I do a big force of Knights of Eternity I'll try out Apothecary white so I can get consistency across the force.

@filipbonek8629 7 ай бұрын

@@edpaintsminis That totally makes sense. I haven't been using contrast paints much lately but apothecary white over a white primer is so nice quickly painting white (followed up with some off white highlights and pure white for the extra mile) its made painting ostland empire troops far less of a headache. That sounds sweet, lets get some more videos outta yeh!

@Bluecho4 6 ай бұрын

It never occurred to me, when free-handing the Dark Angels chapter symbol, to paint the wings as solid blocks, then break up the individual feathers by painting on the background color. Will definitely need to try that on my Fallen next chance I get. (I've largely gotten away with using the Dark Vengeance sculpts, with the raised chapter symbol on the pauldrons. Always hated when a model didn't have it.)

I was loosely going for the box art which was brownish. Deathwing was starting to link out to missions on dungeons and tunnels rather than exclusively space ships so it seemed appropriate. Might rebase them in the future depending on whether I decide to do a force of Dark Angels.

Thanks Pez! Good question... 1st Edition Space Hulk and it's expansions/campaigns had scenarios that were not just on Hulks, but basically all sorts of 'dungeons' - Hive cities, underground lairs, facilities etc, so I thought it would be fun to mix it up. The box art also shows them with a gritty browny hue. Also, I wanted the option of expanding the Dark Angels into a 2nd edition force!

I heard citadel spray was not actually a primer fit for metal. Can anyone with old school (25+ years) experience with metal primers confirm that this will not chip and flake off of metal? I had bad experiences with Vallejo spray primers and do not wish to repeat. Armory primer was excellent on metal even surviving a dropped motel onto a finished concrete floor with no chips. Unfortunately, it's now discontinued.
