Deathwatch - 19/06/21 - Star Dragon & Blackshield dread


Recommended Posts

So ... This my favorite model on the website now.

Wow, thank you very much! He's certainly one of my favourite Deathwatch guys, so I'm glad you dig him so much.

 

Very nice, clean as always. What's the paint recipe for the green, out of curiosity?

Cheers. I can only be rough I'm afraid, wasn't really paying attention to ratios as I did it, but it's Vallejo Game Colour Cayman Green + Reaper Master Series Pure Black (though I'm sure any black would do just fine) for the base/shadows, mix back in some Cayman green for a couple of layers and then add a bit of RMS Terran Khaki to that for the highlight.

An Emperor's Sword joins the ranks:

According to Lexicanum 2 Chapters have borne the Emperor's Swords moniker and both have been destroyed in the 41st Millenium. This battle brother is the sole survivor of the second chapter, whose homeworld turned out to be a dormant Necron tomb world. While he was on secondment with the Deathwatch, the Necrons awoke. As far as is known, he is the sole surviving member of the Chapter. Consequently, he has been given dispensation to keep not just his right shoulder pad, but also his Storm Shield in his chapters heraldic colours. The scrolls attached to his backpack are a list of every member of the Emperor's Blades lost in the homeworld's destruction.

Veteran Sergeant Dacian

He sports a number of fangs from various Tyranid creatures as trophies commemorating successful engagements with the foul species. The eye catching, if rather incongruous and impractical, skull trophy atop his back pack belonged to a Tyranid Prime from a tendril of Hive Fleet Kraken that his Deathwatch Kill Team stalked through the jungles of a Death World. Dacian bested the beast in hand to hand combat with a ferocity that his men reported was extraordinary to behold. While every space marine hates all xenos and descendents of the Ultramarines have a particular hatred for Tyranids, nothing quite compares to the vitriolic loathing the sons of Sotha feel for the Hive Fleet that so nearly exterminated them. A discussion was had with him about removing the skull during combat engagements. Suffice to say it has remained in place, a symbol of the vengeance and righteous fury that burns within Dacian, a testament to his prowess as a warrior and the beginning of a collection that indicates he's just getting started.

40k wiki has little on these guys beyond a name and colour scheme, which makes them great for someone like me attempting to ensure my Deathwatch members are reasonaby diverse and not wholy mainstream.
