Love the decals/accents on the dread's shoulders - I think that would look great on the Terms like you're thinking! This is amazing progress... I may have to do a like (if slower) thread for my pew-pew space ships.

White stripes to make the decals stand out is working out well, I'd say! I think the decals do a good job of making them feel un-Blood Angels.
Also the Egyptian theme.

No pics because NO TIME - but progress is being made. Not as much as I would like, I did NOT complete a full 10 men last night, putting me behind schedule for the week. I think what its going to come down to is just being picky about my detailing, and only doing enough to make them stand out as 1k sons. For the 20 MKIII marines I'm painting, rather than go whole hog on the gold detailing like so: I'm only going to do the shoulder trim, the face mask and band around the head, and the piping on the backpacks. Then just silver on the guns, instead of blocking out the casing (that's for after adepticon), and a thick ass wash of nuln oil. Managed to get 5/10 veterans done, their chest details took forever (all that tubing). Just have the gold shoulder trim/chest icon and top of the backpack plate to do on the last 5, and I'm calling them done. Will post pics up tonight once the 10 vets are done, and a progress pic of the display board slowly filling up with finished models. 2 days left!!

Managed to grab a pic of the "completed" Vet squad before my eyes forced themselves shut last night: Still needs decals, the casings of their guns blacked out, and their eyes glowing. But I'm really happy with how these look right now honestly, finishing the gold made ALL the difference in the world and took them from "obviously drybrushed space marines" to "not obviously drybrushed space marines that actually look like work went into them". The final wash on the hatches for the rhino is drying, hence why they aren't you know, on the rhino. Tonights monumental last minute task - do the gold trim on 20 tacticals marines. Sounds easier than it is, don't let it mislead you! I'll be posting pics tonight when I finish. FOR MAGNUS

For being a 'rush job', these look great! The gold really does make them stand out - I think it was a good call to focus on those details in the time you had.
Can't wait to see them proper finished.

CANT STOP WONT STOP Spent yesterday building/converting/magnetizing my Adepticon FW purchase - an Osirion Dreadnought to add to my Thousand Sons Legion!

Also I think I need to buy a land raider to convert into a 30k lookin' one. I've got the space marine bug hard now, and not having a land raider of some type just feels...wrong. Plus its a great way to deliver 10 psychic swords-masters into battle right?

HEYOOO Haven't finished the Osiron dreadnought yet - but I did get a single tactical sergeant finished in his entirety, so I could get my process for bringing the models from "technically done" to "actually highlighted and finished" down pat. Also been toying around with Micro Sol and Micro Set - I love the results. 10/10.
