[Terminus Decree]

Title says it all I guess.

Could anyone please list how they go about painting their scythes of the emperor army, I'm wanting to start an army of theirs and I'm wondering if I already have the colors and washes best suited for their color heraldry.

And does anybody know where I can get some scythes to suit out my terminators?? I'm thinking I might customize some deathshroud scythes but if anyone knows of anything better please let me know.

Helps appreciated

The emperor protects.

My friend Andrew painted his like this (I do not have a true colour conversion chart to hand so not sure how it would work with new paints):

Undercoat
Black

Yellow
(1) Basecoat in Tausept Ochre
(2) Layer Iyandun Darksun onto raised areas
(3) Wash recesses with thinned Dark Flesh
(4) Tidy up Ochre/Darksun
(5) Glaze with Golden Yellow
(6) Highlight less prominent edges with Golden Yellow
(7) Highlight prominent edges with Sunburst Yellow

Black
(1) Black basecoat
(2) wide highlight with 3:1 Shadow Grey:Chaos Black
(3) Blend highlight into basecoat using thinned Chaos Black
(4) Thinly Highlight prominent edges with pure Shadow Grey

If you were looking for something quick then possibly:

Yellow
(1) Basecoat Iyanden Darksun
(2) Wash with Gryphonne Sepia
(3) Edge Highlight with Golden Yellow

Black
(1) Basecoat Black
(2) Edge Highlight with Shadow Grey
(3) Wash with Badab Black
