Really good ones. I really like the fire head of the terminator chaplain. All an army like this would look so good.

I absolutely love the chaplain, the burning skull is epic, truly something new:O
I love the weathered yet clean look on the rest, great work.

Cool minis. Nice color theme.

That termie sergeant looks really great. Is that plastic head, because it looks really good and detailed? Yes, it's well painted but I just wonder...

edit: aaa... I made an ass of myself...there it's said:Lysander coversion. Heh didn't notice it.

Thanks for the comments! :) @Alex: Partially. They paid some, but not much unfortunately. They didn't beleive that the painted miniatures were worth more then the materials really.. but they had an automatic compensation for "lost package" as well, in total about 1/3 of the costs were covered by the insurance. They had an idea that they could restore the miniatures as well... quite laughable considering the thin layers of paint that were damaged by soot and that parts of the plastic was melted.

Sad to hear of your fire. Your painting skills are Awesome! Love your Chaplain, I might "borrow" that idea for one of my Chaos lords. (if I can get my skill level up near yours :) )

They rock. I like the colour scheme and of course the chaplain's flaming skull head - what colours did you use for that? Could you tell me how you painted the sergeant's skin tone also please?

Thanks all! :)

@Montka: I'm afraid I really don't recall the colours on the flames and not really the exact colours of the face as well. I seldom work with formulas so unless I write the colours down it's difficult to remember, I just mix until I'm happy.

For the flames.. well looking at it now I'd just mix orange with yellows for the main colours, more yellow and adding white for the lightest parts. Adding reds and blacks for the darkest parts. I also have added some sparks with white sparingly. It was important to have some darker parts in the flames so that it didn't look entirely opaque, I would push that even more next time, but it's hard to make it look good from all angles.

I think I did a basecoat with khemri brown on the skin and the used graveyard earth that I mixed with a bit of red for a fleshier midtone. I mixed in more reds for the cheeks and some other parts and the final highlights were done with vallejo ivory. I most probably glazed some with greens, greys and browns as well.
