G'day, I've been using this Easter long weekend (and the cold that's keeping me at home) to get some solid work done on my Blood Drinkers space marines....first off the production line is the elite 1st Company in Terminator armour......







I'll use this thread to keep you updated as the army progresses.......

I like it!

Awesome, nice crisp paint job! I really like the freehand chalice on the captains standard. Your basing is very solid as well.

Great work! The basing really sets the rest of the models off and gives a great contrast I knew these were going to turn out grand! Plus you work really fast! I don't think you're going to keep us waiting too long for the rest

Very nice, love your bases and the red is perfect!

Very, very nice. Love seeing a full company of Terminators. How did you paint that red?

Very nice indeed!
Also like the use of a lesser represented chapter

Thanks mate....I did the red with an undercoat/base of RAL Partha Terracotta (not available anymore but I'd imagine any terracotta would work), then a heavy sepia ink wash (I used "Art Spectrum" pigmented ink I got at an art shop), then block in with the terracotta again, then highlight with GW Mephiston red.

For the Land Raiders I finished with a very light drybrush of Blood Angel orange....in the photo the land raider on the left looks overly orange compared to the others, but in the flesh they all look the same....one of those weird things that happens with photos I guess?

Yeah I've been fascinated by the Blood Drinkers ever since I read Ian Watson's classic "Space Marine" back in the early 90's, they only got a page or two in that book but something about them just got me interested, maybe their mysteriousness?

Plus I reckon the "Blood Drinkers" is a really cool name for a SM chapter

In case anyone's interested here's some 28mm Blood Drinkers I did a few years ago using some old school "Beakies" I had laying around....

Ok, I've finished another formation and the army is starting to take shape now.....Blood Drinkers 4th Battle Company
