Also while im here I finally finished my second terminator at the weekend after 2 months of slow progress thanks to shitty ass work. Plenty of things for me to work on still when I look at this guy but that's cool because it means I get lots of opportunities to try and improve my results on the guy currently going under the brush!

I cant even drill barrels straight, look at that googly boogly eyed bolter! Also they have a strict no red weapons policy in the 21st century, I'm yesterday's news man, yesterday's news!
I'm content to just pootle along at my own pace for the time being.

You can use a knife to even out the drilling, as long as it's not too far wrong (which it doesn't look like that is).
The purple and white colour scheme is great - really slaanesh.
Interesting that you've not put the trophy spike on top. I was tempted not to, to keep the classic old school chaos terminator look. It really alters the models look. With that and the bright colours you've chosen your terminator looks RT era retro. Love it.
Bit of progress - I absolutely love these miniatures, and I'm having to convince myself not to buy the new chaos space marines as I have enough of a backlog.
I really like the classic black and gold scheme, especially on terminators, and the shading on the loin cloths you've done looks really great as well, they really pop nicely!
I'm leaving the trophy racks off my guys apart from the captain, I wanted my rank and file guys to be as minimal as possible on outwardly looking like blarg we're being corrupted by the warp, since they're a bunch of Fulgrim worshipping heretics who are doing their best to cling on to their looks. They're all using the small tusk heads as well wherever possible for the same reason.

They've been pretty good recently on not having female sculpts with no clothes.
One of the things they do really well is that in general there's a good mix of male/female sculpts within all the units
Just out of interest, have you ever painted a Verminlord? I came across the model the other day whilst thumbing through a copy of White Dwarf in 'Smiths at a railway station (as you do). First time I'd seen one and, eeeek!
It wasn't until I hit my thirties that I realised you could unlock rewards by exploring the map
