infyrana Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Look forward to seeing this! What paints did you use for the brass on the front of your shield please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Looks good dude, love the storm black and wearbon the armour. Not sure on the base though, it's very stark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Finished up Vet number 2. The Brass is actually gold. Just weathered a little bit. Its the retributor gold washed a few times and highlighted with gold and then followed up with some silver. As far as the bases go... They are very simple but I tried to match it with the weather powder I have that would stand out the most on black armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Excellent start, great weathering and colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robofish7591 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Awesome stuff, I really like the weathering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenomortis Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Great start, models look gritty which I like and the bases really contrast the black armour. What plans do you have for your Watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Love it, great weathering on the armour - how have you done it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 The weathering is actually very simple. All I do is take a small piece of sponge and put a little bit of metallic paint and use to to place simple scratches where they would be most common. I follow this up with a brighter metallic paint and pick out some edges and add some longer scratches. Then I use some weather powders that Ive had laying around forever. I follow it all up with a nice matte coat. Im not 100% sure what my plans are for my watch but I have this first squad planned out and im waiting on a twin linked assault cannon for my razorback. This first squad has all bolters, 3 storm shields and a couple power swords. Just a basic relatively inexpensive squad to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 I am going to be adding a Corvus because the models are just fantastic and they are solid in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 It is a shame the twin assault cannon does not come as a standard in the box option. The storm shields look really good, just not sure how effective such a squad would be on the table. Have you gave any thoughts as to the overall list yet?

I picked one up for about 20$. Which is half the cost of the entire kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 I am planning on having a captain as one of my HQ choices. Im going to convert Ennox Sorrlock into a captain with Jump pack but im not sure what weapon load out to go with. If im going to use him with the beacon what should I give him? Storm shield and a melee weapon? Maybe a thunderhammer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 It's a shame we are so limited on our hq customization options. Definitely the thunder hammer, only way to make him a real threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_149 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I quite like two lightning claws, the re-roll ones to hit and re-roll wounds makes them quite efficient at deleting units. I give him the beacon, ds him in then drag 10 hellblasters over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Ive really contemplated going with dual lightening claws. It looks awesome and can be pretty strong. Do you pair him with a unit of vanguard vets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 So ive successfully sold my Tau! That means I can buy some more stuff! What should I buy next? Im for sure going to pick up a Watch Master. Should I buy a redemptor or a Blackstar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 In my eyes every pure deathwatch force should have at least 1 corvus in the force. It's our most iconic unit and is one of our only delivery systems for terminators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Blackstar it is! Such a cool model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 It is a great model. I sold my first painted one, and I have another I started... just waiting on the codex before completing it though. I think you're going to love painting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Ive looked at the kit quite a bit and it looks like it should be "easy" to paint. I ordered some pigment fixer this morning to weather vehicles so when I finish my 6th Vet I can get started on their razorback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 @Prot does the Blackstar come with a transfer sheet? The stock images show some skulls with the Inquisition I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 I ordered some door panels from the Corvus to use on my razorbacks. They are a little bit smaller but they will work. Ill post some pics of the completed squad and razorback assembled and ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 @Prot does the Blackstar come with a transfer sheet? The stock images show some skulls with the Inquisition I. Sorry no. I got my transfers from the limited edition 7th ed codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws and Effect Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The storm shields look really good, just not sure how effective such a squad would be on the table. A couple bolter/shield guys would be a good option in a squad that has a couple frag cannons in it to tank high AP wounds for the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
