How to paint the Terminator Assault Squad Set

1. Step 1: Primer Coat
   Begin by applying a suitable primer; Chaos Black primer is a good choice for these miniatures. Primer helps the paint adhere and gives a consistent base for your colors.
2. Step 2: Base Coat – Armor
   Paint the Terminator Assault Squad’s armor with Macragge Blue. Ensure you cover all the armored areas evenly.
3. Step 3: Base Coat – Helmets and Heads
   For the helmets, paint them with White Scar. If any of the Terminators have exposed heads, paint those with Rakarth Flesh for a natural flesh tone.
4. Step 4: Painting Details – Metallic Claws
   Paint the details like their claws and any metallic components with Leadbelcher. This will give them a metallic appearance.
5. Step 5: Painting Details – Helmet Lenses
   For the helmet lenses, use Mephiston Red. Apply it evenly to achieve a consistent red glow effect.
6. Step 6: Shading – Adding Realism
   Enhance depth and realism by applying the appropriate shade. Use Nuln Oil for the armor and metallic details, Carroburg Crimson for the helmet lenses, and Reikland Fleshshade for the exposed heads.
7. Step 7: Layering – Highlighting
   Highlight the armor and metallic details with lighter shades. For the blue armor, use Altdorf Guard Blue. For the metallic components, layer with Ironbreaker or Stormhost Silver to create highlights.
8. Step 8: Base Details
   Consider using texture paints like Astrogranite Debris or Armageddon Dunes to create realistic terrain effects on the bases. Apply the chosen texture paint evenly across the bases.
9. Step 9: Varnishing
   To protect your beautifully painted Terminator Assault Squad, consider applying a varnish. Stormshield is a good choice for a matte finish that protects without altering the appearance. Ensure the miniatures are entirely dry before varnishing.
