A Deathwatch Army Project

[Azaiel]

Awesome! Every mini is unique bunch of vets, this is how a DW army should be. Well done!

[HorrOwl]

2 Vel'Cona & Azaiel & Bjorn:

Thanks! :)

 

 

 

What is your take-away on the pre-molded bases?

They are easy (read - "fast" )to paint and good looking.

I have used Sector Mechanicus bases but now will try  necromunda ones

Let us know how they compare, I'm very much considering these for future projects and I want to know how they stack up.

Haven't painted them yet, but they look like from the same facility with Sector Mechanicus, just different part of the floor: same font, same symbols.

must be easier to paint because they have no grid with cables, tubes etc underneath and thus less details

[HorrOwl]

A small addition to command section,  a pair of Watch Captains
First is a classical build: Jumppack, thunder hammer and stormshield
Second equipped with stormbolter , I want to test it with Banebolts relic

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done.

[HorrOwl]

So, I've decided to make Objective Markers to get extra points on the tournaments add some narrative.

 

The  markers will be themed around a Deathwatch raid on a radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor's private research facility(they can be protected by almost any army - who know what pacts did this inquisitor signed?)

 

so far, I completed  3 markers:

 

 - a Cogitator, containing the valuable data about this facility and  all the things:

 

 - La Bomba Grande: Nuke the entire place. It's the only way to be sure

 

 - a strange Xenoartifact (may be it is the source of the corruption?)

 

another 3 to be done.

Again, well done.

[Gederas]

 - a strange Xenoartifact (may be it is the source of the corruption?)

What's that model from? I don't recognize it at all.

 

I do like the markers so far though. They look sweet

[HorrOwl]

2 Bjorn:

Thanks! :)

 

2 Gederas:

It is a Cryx Egregore from Warmachine :)

Definitely heresy in need of purging, then :D

You've got an excellent looking army, it's extremely well painted. I'm envious. (Especially your Corvus Squadron. WOW!). 

 

Would you mind sharing how you painted up the bases? I'm using the same bases for my DW army & I really like how yours turned out.

Thanks!

 

 

 

Would you mind sharing how you painted up the bases? 

For Sector Mechanicus I 've used black basecoat, then painted LeadBelcher, with Brass Scorpion for, hm, brass parts( usually grids, nuts, aquilas and other details) . Leadbelcher  parts were washed with Nuln Oil + Lahmia Medium (approx. 1:1 ), Brass parts with Agrax Earthshade + Lahmian medium( same, approx. 1:1). Then leadbelcher surface were drybrushed with Necron Compoud and brass parts with Brass Scorpion.

 

 

For Sector Imperialis bases I blew concrete parts with greys (first Dark Blue Grey and American Grey from Vallejo model Air) from airbrush and then used same as above colors for metallic parts.

Hope that helps!

@HorrOwl: Helps a bunch. Thanks for sharing! :tu:

[HorrOwl]

So, another new Objective

Now it is Deathwatch operative

 

 

 

The face is not complete, will do it later

 

 

That is the guy who infiltrated the facility and called the cavalry in. Now he must be extracted.

 

The miniature must be  obviously deathwatch but in the same time different from the rest of the army , because it is marker after all and I dont want to confuse my opponent with it :)

 

And a small vingette (not a deathwatch at all)

 

A classic story : damsel in distress :)

 

 

 

 

I think she'll be one of the Objectives for my Astra Militarum. :)

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good jobs.

[Vel'Cona]

Very cool and unique objective markers.  It's those touches that really personalize an army!

[HorrOwl]

Another one  completed

 

This time it is  "Specimen 12332"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Results of the experiments in that facility.  

The Specimen is in Stasis Crypt mounted on tracked chassic with a controller servitor to monitor life signs and all like that. 
the idea was stealed borrowed from  KrautScientist hope he doesn't mind. :)

 

So 5 is done, a last one to be completed

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Specimen 12332 looks great!

[Vel'Cona]

That's an amazing idea!  Very cool objective markers :)

[HorrOwl]

So, the last one is completed/

That's the Rogue Inquisitor , whose facility is being raided by the Deathwatch.
the photos are meh, hope to remake them in several days

this person preffer to pick specimen for his experiments personally so he chose needler as primary weapon. Also can make a battlefield vivisection with his right arm.
he has a little helper in the shape of Hunter/Killer automaton, modelled after StarWars IV Interrogation Droid. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:)

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The renegade Inquisitor looks great!

[Vel'Cona]

Agreed, this is an awesome mini.  In some ways, your Objective Markers are going to take center-stage over your actual army! :P

 

Though everything in this thread is pretty awesome :)

[HorrOwl]

A routine reinforcements:

 

 

Another 6 Stormbolter& Stormshield marines: Raptor, Hawklord, Angel Redeemed, White Minotaur, Crimson Fist and White Consul.

The new Marines look great!
