Starting on Space Hulk

Well, starting the 2026 modelling season, I decided to try some new things.

Space Hulk and Space Hulk Kill Team!

Bought an airbrush to try painting faster and using new techniques. Played with it, and learned a bit. Changed out the .3 nozzle for the .5, and realized I had to dial it for a lot more paint than I originally thought.

The first model I tried was the Librarian for Space Hulk. Started with the normal priming (I forgot Librarians were blue), so primed it white, then the Red GW primer. Then tried the airbrush to paint it blue. Worked great. Need to work on coverage, but many thin layers are supposed to be better than one thick layer.

Ok, so what am I trying to do? Build all the minis I need for Space Hulk with normal Terminator minis. But as I like to do things a bit differently, I figured I would have some of the Sgts as Chaplains. Unless I decide to do all of the sgts as Chaplains.

But the list will be is:

  1. Terminator Captain
  2. Terminator Librarian
  3. Terminator Apothecary
    • Looking into using the Primaris Apothicarian or getting the Dark Angel Apothicarian bits (if I can get them)
  4. Terminator Mechanicus (probably just change out the character Terminator mechanicus)
  5. Terminator squads
    • Squad Saporin
      • Chaplain with storm bolter and power weapon
      • 3 Terminators with storm bolter and power fist
      • Terminator with Flamer
    • Squad Attorius
      • Sgt with storm bolter and power weapon
      • 2 Terminators with storm bolter and power fist
      • Terminators with storm bolter and chain fist
      • Terminator with Assault Cannon and Power Fist
    • Squad Agathon
      • Chaplain with storm shield and thunder hammer
      • 4 terminators with storm shield and thunder hammer
    • Squad Lyvornus
      • Sgt with storm shield and thunder hammer
      • 4 terminators with storm shield and thunder hammer

So here is everything except the 2nd Chaplain and the Captain. The Apothecary and Techmarine I am still working on what to do.

Echild or Echild07 or Refuse has been playing Slaanesh, Emperor's Children and Imperial Fists since the 80s! Loved the imagery and dichotomy in the "lost and the damned" books and love the pride and pain aspects of Imperial Fists and Emperor's Children.
