So I've been working my way through my husband's Blood Angels learning my way around painting up figures. This was my first attempt at doing something for the base; nothing super complicated, but I'm pleased that it looks better than the bare base or a flat painted base; given how simple it is to set that up, I feel like I want to do that from now on in general.
The Terminator itself was one of the few that weren't already completely put together so I was able to paint the arms by itself, which helped a lot. I definitely intend to keep arms off before painting, I think, when I have the chance. It's so much less fiddly.
