Azaiel Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hello fellow DW:s. I just got back into 40k because of a work colleague who´ve been playing a while and the release of 8th edition. Last time I played it was 3rd edition(!). Last summer I went into my local hobby shop and browsed the GW figs. The start collecting box for Deathwatch caught my eye, it had a 28mm version of Artemis! (I have the original large inquisitor fig still in my stash.) That settled it and I now have a collection of DW to assemble and paint. I love DW from a modelling and painting perspective since you can mix and match basically anything from the Space marine line and take all the cool bits from the different chapters. Enough of me yapping heres som pics: My first painted DW fig, a silver skull: My work colleague donated a Deathwing which got slightly converted: And finally my latest fig a Space wolf terminator. Not a huge fan of all the howling faces, the helmet made him more menacing IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Fantastic work! What's next on your painting table? :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Lovely work on your models! I'm a huge fan of that DA Terminator AC; used one of them, myself. What are your plans for basing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaiel Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Many thanks for the nice comments gents. (sorry for the delay of reply) Fantastic work! What's next on your painting table? I´ve got some "regular" Kill team veterans with chainswords and bolters to make. And now that storm shields are cheaper I have to make a couple equipped with those aswell. Lovely work on your models! I'm a huge fan of that DA Terminator AC; used one of them, myself. What are your plans for basing? I tried the Agrellan earth with mixed results. I´ll probably just use some sand and tufts instead. The bases will be in light colors though since the marines are so dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaiel Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Since the ETL is on and our Codex is coming I started to assemble this dreadnought. This all blu-tac:ed for now. But for fun I put the spotlight as a head and I thought it looked quite good, maybe a bit too Tau? What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Some lovely detail on those Minis. Great painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irbis Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Honestly? I'd swap them. The 'head' one looks too much like a lamp, put it on shoulder. The other one on the other hand can look like a sensor housing with big camera, but that's just IMHO. Nice work so far though, I like the WM bit on top.

Claws and Effect Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 What are your plans for basing?I tried the Agrellan earth with mixed results. I´ll probably just use some sand and tufts instead. The bases will be in light colors though since the marines are so dark. I picked up some of the concrete slabs bases from Kromlech, and I'm loving them so far. The paint job I'm using is fast, simple, and looks good. Mechanicus Standard Gray->Agrax->Ulthuan Gray drybrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaiel Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 A Thread Necromancy! The incredibly hot summer (25+ C indoors yum!) and the dreaded painters block hampered my progress. But I did get some stuff painted. Unfortunately I just can get any decent pics yet. But heres two pics that look OK. I will try to get the rest up as soon as I get some sun here. First up a Black Shield: And next a Space Wolf Elrik Whitemane: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vel'Cona Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 <3 the face selection on the Black Shield. I almost swore he was RG until I read your post! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmagog Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Wonderful! Any chance of a painting walk through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaiel Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 <3 the face selection on the Black Shield. I almost swore he was RG until I read your post! Hehe, he is from another gene-father than Corax. There are others with pale skin and in this blackshields case black eyes. Wonderful! Any chance of a painting walk through? The armour and most details are all painted as our Lord Duncans tutorial on deathwatch on WH-TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjSu0HwM9xU And The War gamers paintguide for DW Cap Artemis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxNJ53autqE Thats it really, check them out if you havent, they are really good.

Hehe, he is from another gene-father than Corax. There are others with pale skin and in this blackshields case black eyes. Hmm.... Was he originally in Midnight Clad? ;) I do love how these guys look. I must ask though, where's that head from on Elrik Whitemane? (also, lovely conversion of one of my favorite models from Kill Team Cassius) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just liked the idea no matter how unlikely. The head is from the forgeworld Grey hunter set. Bought it from Egghead miniatures which sell forgeworld bits.
