Ania Redfang Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) So I've started building my watch force, beginning with the overkill stuff and a captain. As most of the marines are stock there isn't a lot of point showing them off, but I've converted a couple just to make the loadouts a bit more useful in game. I also copied somewhat the Captain from White Dwarf, a breacher style captain has always been one of my favourite character types in 30/40k. No paint yet, but here's what I hope to have by the end for games: 1 captain 3 Librarians 5 frag cannon guys 5 Stalker Bolter guys (one with Stormshield as well) 10 Boltgun/shotgun guys (with either or both as primary) 3 each of boltgun or shotgun with shield meltagun and shield Meltagun and Boltgun 2 CCW (blackshield/sergeant) 2 Sword and Board (or axe and board, or mace) A couple of terminators Rhino Razorback Droppod Then just as a painting exercise and to maybe give me some variety in game The rest of Cassius More CCW guys More terminators Corvus Bikes Vanguard I'm going for a shooting heavy list, with close combat weapons only really included as a last resort/deterrent to others engaging us in combat. All basic veterans will have boltgun/shotgun so long as this doesn't get FAQ'd out (and why would it?) So with the plan in place, here is my first four guys. The volkite counts as a shotgun, so the space wolf has shotgun and boltgun, the chainsword is just for show. Changed up the barrel on this combi-melta, made it into a stalker/boltgun combi. Thoughts? Next up is probably a Calth tac-squad based kill team, though I'll probably try to mix armour type in most of the units to make them seem more individual.

Vash Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Looks like you will have your hands full for some time :) Conversions looks clean and good. Keep up the good work and update :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder_god Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Great start to the conversions. Modeling the figures is a large part of the fun for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 This will be a cool, flavourful army. I'm looking forward to seeing this come to fruition. Good luck and great start. ;) (I have the White Dwarf, but haven't read it all... is there a Breacher Captain mentioned there?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ania Redfang Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Heeyy all, so I've finally made some progress on my Watch Company (Exorcists for Armies on Parade got in the way). I've built all my infantry that I'll need for the time being. 4 Aquila Kill Teams and one just veteran squad. Then I've painted one aquila along with the captain to go with them. :) Happy with how they came out, though I think i'll paint something else to take a break from them now, all htat blue edge highlighting gave me a headache. Thanks for looking, hope to update sooner rather than later. MithrilForge, librisrouge and Vel'Cona 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 That's a nice start to that table full. Is that a Raptor coloured pad? And are you using a Guilliman glaze on the silver pads? Looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Agreed, off to a good start! I find I have to put away all the unpainted dudes or I just get depressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ania Redfang Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 So uhh, it's been a while and a new edition since I touched my Deathwatch guys, the lack of power and limitations of the old codex really took the heart out of me wanting to play them... But now is a new day and I've booked to go to the Open War Throne of Skulls in November, and I'll be taking the Deathwatch! Which means I have to get them finished. The games at the event are played at 120 power, which means I have options with the loadouts of each squad. I'm not just going to take 4 frag cannons per squad, which would probably be optimal, as it's not meant to be a super competitive event, so I'm just going for a nice mix of all the models I have. 5 Kill Teams, 4 Razorbacks, Corvus, Redemptor Dreadnought, Venerable Dreadnought, Artemis and a Watch Master will round out my list. Working on getting it all done now, here's some progress pics! Got 10 vets, two Razorbacks and the plane left, one month to go.

Prot Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Great effort there, and that Redemptor looks fantastic in black. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Agreed, love the Redemptor. The pose is pretty cool, too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Yep!, gotta agree...that redemptor is awesomesauce in black Force is looking great, Good luck with the rest of it!! cheers,Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ania Redfang Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Another Brother for the watch, this time a blackshield. Unfortuantely he has two power swords which doesn't do anything in 8th but he makes up for it by being bad ass. Almost done with all the Veterans now, will get a full shot once I've done all the bases. Prot, MithrilForge and Vel'Cona 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Yea it might not mean anything, but does look really cool. I think a powersword option on him is still decent in game. Have you used him in games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ania Redfang Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Finished my Corvus! That's the whole army done now, full army shots soon. Vel'Cona, Prot and MithrilForge 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 It’s a beautiful looking deadly flyer. You’ve really done it justice. :tu: Nomus Sardauk 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Agreed, that's a lovely finish! The window came out really well, too; most Corvus I've seen tend toward the "bare metal" cockpit, so that's a welcome change IMO :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicebod Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I like it! I never thought about doing the wing stripes asymmetrical, but I really like the look here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ania Redfang Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Thanks for the comments I've finished my 120 power level force now, ready for Throne of skulls in November... Just have to get some games in before hand really, I've still not actually played 8th ed... Full force: More pics here: https://redemptionminiatures.com/deathwatch-army-finished/ Next up I'm doing Genestealer Cults so these guys have someone to fight.

Prot Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Very nice looking force altogether. You know I have 2 Redemptors in my Ultra's (and I don't honestly know if I would use them with my Deathwatch) but that red gun-hand with black sarcophagus looks really sharp). It's a great force you have there, you should be proud of it. You basically have your choice of nearly everything for your games, and going into the new codex you'll be set. (Unlike myself - I've been plodding slowly with my army redo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 WoW great Army there, well done man!!! as Prot says the redemptor is Boss looking, it should roll 6's just cause he's so pretty I notice your Heavy bolters on the Corvus need some black holes painted on the barrel tips, it'd be a shame to not to go that wee bit extra on such a great looking Model... You should be rightly proud of this finished army cheers, Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Beautiful army shot of your Watch Company :) Is that a LRC I see hiding in the wings . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
