Sun Scorpion Terminator
A portfolio piece where I pushed my physical airbrushing skills, you know, with the ol’ air compressor and everything. Trying to get those straight lines, and with an old fashioned airbrush, there was no undo This was long before I had a computer. I painted this way back in 1992, and it’s has been in storage for 29 years! I’ve never shown it to the public. I was inspired by the (then) new ‘plastic’ look of the space marines from the Space Crusade game. This was my reinvention of the Terminator armour for the Space Hulk game in that Space Crusade style. Trying to pre-empt the trend.
Suffice to say, GW didn’t like it one bit, and that’s why it’s been in storage for all these years and no one has seen it (other than GW). I’ve always liked it though, so I thought I’d share to see if anyone else likes it. It’s caught a little damage over the years, and I hope you can look past that. I didn’t want to change it too much, other than slap ‘Philip’ on it, and minor retouching on the main figure. I added a ‘mature content’ due to the ‘stealers arm being blown off. I think that counts as gore
