Death (company) from above!

Recommended Posts

I just finished my Death company on foot and a Drop pod to take them into battle. When I painted my DC with jump packs years ago I decided to paint them grey, like in the IA article. With the release of the new codex it has been clarified that the Flesh tearers have a black Death company just like the Blood angels. But I wanted my DC on foot to look like the old models with jump packs. Two different types of DC in the same army would just look strange. And besides, I like the grey version. It makes them stand out from the rest of the army. So I painted the new ones grey as well.

 

I modelled the same face masks as the old ones. I really like the way it looks. The inspiration was taken from the book "Horus heresy: Collected visions". The masks are made with green stuff over normal helmets.

The pod. I wanted it to look like it hade really entered the atmosphere with a lot of paint burnt or scratched away. And I painted it in the same colours as the Death company, as usual with DC transports.

 

So, what do you think?

It looks fantastic. Love the weathered look on the drop-pod, definitely looks as though it has seen a lot of combat :P The basing looks lovely as well (I'm miserable when it comes to thinking up ideas on good basing). The blood on that buzzsaw-blade is nicely done. Gory enough for this time of the year :lol:

 

I especially like the helmets you've used on the squad. Where were those procured from?

Great work, the squad just really feels like the incarnation of bad :cuss

I answer with a quote with bolding for emphasis.
