I used standard Terminator parts, and added the Apothecary upgrade arm, head, and vials from the Deathwing Command box. I still have another Apothecary setup floating around from a Grey Knights boc, but I really liked the integrated Crux pad on the DW arm.
I painted this model using the same techniques that I used in the Blood Drinker Tutorial here and here.
I slathered on the purity seals. I am pretty disgusted with GWs apparent lack of any Army or Chapter Specific upgrades for Terminators. Sure they have Deathwing and Wolf Guard, but any other chapters are pretty much SOL unless you want to order Forge World stuff for them. I mean, can't we get a few more blood drops and stuff that would fit on Terminators in the Death Company Squad sets?
Oh well, enough grumbling. I really like the way that the white on the helmet and the shoulder pad came out. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the shoulder pads of this dude's squad.......The yellow came out great, but I tried some free hand stuff and they ended up looking like a 5 year old tried to do it......So they get blacked out, highlighted and washed, and then I wait for the Blood Angel Decal Sheet to get here from Forge World. That thing has Blood Drinker icons on it!!!
Tomorrow, time permitting, I should be able to get another DW squad knocked out. I would love to paint the Custom Belial and Librarian models that I have made from plastics, but I have to wait for the DW shoulder pads get here from FW. :( Frowny Face!
