Hobby Progress - Terminators and Sternguard

I've done quite a bit of progress on my terminators, getting the entire squad to the same point, leaving only basing and decals to be applied.

My sternguards weren't high priority as I don't field them often but since I had previously finished the armour, only the detailing paint steps need to be done which once I get painting should be done quickly.

Sternguard "Sergeant"

They are all converted with warrior of chaos cloaks and they all have Black Templars helmets, Forge World bolters and some have Black Templars tabards. They were converted to stand out from the rest of my army and get a bit of my own fluff into the army. Flesh Tearers Sternguards should be veterans from many campaigns in order to make sense fluff wise in an aggressive assault army, so I made mine as veterans of the Armageddon campaigns were they would have earned honours from Black Termplars as for me they should be their closest battle-brothers outside of the Blood Angels.

Hobby Progress - Terminator Sergeant

I've manage to do little in terms of painting but I did manage to crank out my assault terminator sergeant as a test model for the rest of the squad.

I've use the same technique mentionned in a White Dwarf army workshop article about Flesh Tearers, where the black in the color scheme was to draw the eye in. It's in part why I think the Death Company models are so striking, they're loaded with details and the black armour only emphasis them, besides the black being awesome on his own right.

Time to get busy on the rest of the squad...

Hobby Progress - Objective Markers and Terminator

I've progressed on the objective markers, had issues with getting the banner right but I think it worked out. I think I've got my basing technique figured out (described here) so I should be able to blast through them rather quickly.
