So over the years I have built and played multiple Adeptus Astartes armies. Time to combine all of the different threads into one. Inside you will find: Raptors (Discontinued) Horus Heresy XIXth Legion (Raven Guard) Deathwatch Exorcists Imperial Fists Horus Heresy VIth Legion (Space Wolves) Blood Angels (One of my Son's (Troy) Army) Ultramarines (Another Son's (Mikey) Army)

=][= A 'Deathwatch' Roleplaying Game =][= THE SPECTRE OF ULLANOR + Character/Data Thread + 'How could you possibly fathom the depth of outrage, the silent scream of the very granite beneath our feet? Men forget - mankind has struggled to eclipse all witness with time, denial, and distance. But this world is old...it remembers what it once was, and evermore is it stained with our bloody suppression.' - Astropath Gaius Terchian, Adept Quartus, Hades Hive, shortly before destruction by orbital Rok-strike. Setting: The Third War for Armageddon rages. Beset on all sides by the Ork fleet, their numberless troops, their brutish atrocities and callous war-make, the Imperial Defenders are hard pressed to rebuff the onslaught of an age. Not even during the previous Orkicide, are times so desperate. Imperial Guard march to war in Brigades of stoic millions, the Faithful Adepta Sororitas and mighty Legions of the Collegio Titanicus stalk the rubble-strewn, corpse-haunted wastelands the Xenos wretches have brought, giving battle in the name of humanity, of survival, even of spite. Victory is not assured, even though the legendary warriors of the Astartes plunge through the rank muck and foetid air of the embattled planet, Bolters barking, they too are almost detritus, spilled by the terrible conflict. In the depths of Hive Acheron, treachery brews - and although the Emperor has seen fir to deploy Colonel Schaeffer and his last chancers to cull the villainous turncoats, other poisons steal into the well. In the jungles, and the deserts, the war grows hot, bloody. Attrition of the secretive forces employed by the Inquisition steady abrades the careful scalpel-like strokes, but Ghazkhull and top chieftains are no so easily murdered. Blunt force is brought to bear against the threats - with hammer blow strikes from Space Marine Squads across the embroiled sectors...

Evening all, this hopefully marks the start of my 40k painting blog. This is mainly focussed around a small, but growing Deathwatch and inquisition force based around having fun with kitbashes, sculting and 3d printing to make something interesting and fun to look at. I'm not the biggest player... my last match was probaby some time back in 7th edition. The thought of having to get something up to gaming standards that won't be trounced by local WAAC players is not something that grabs. Hopefully you have some fun, and feel free to offer critique or suggestions as we go! I need to redo some shoulder pads as I've decided freehand really wasn't the way to go, so I'll try and do some group shots once those are done, but for now lets start with a recently completed project, and a current WIP to get things rolling. We have Judicar Zakaror, who spent years as part of the Dark Angels chapter, but as part of his recent progression to Chaplain, has been seconded to the Deathwatch to serve as a Judicar. Where better to prove your worth and learn those valuable lessons in serving the Emperor? The base model for our Judicar here was the Lord-Terminos model from the recent Age of Sigmar box, with some marine bits and pieces added into the mix. Eventually we will also have Wolf-Brother Faffnar the Bold joining the watchhouse to guard the domains of mankind. The additions to the dreadnought frame are from GreyTide Studio's Primal Hounds set, along with a Deathwatch shoulder guard. He is being done as part of an Ancients painting challenge on another forum.

Deathwatch: Murderers in Black So, basically I was brainstorming for a new story to write, and I came up with a fairly vague idea for a Deathwatch-based murder mystery style novel/novella. I did a bit more work to create an outline, but then I realised… …we haven't got a 'proper' DW game in the PBP at the moment!* So I wondered if maybe it would be more fun to use the idea as a starting point for a oneshot DW RPG adventure? *A Time of Reaving is obviously DW-based in rules, but not setting, and Blackthorn/Swordhand hasn't played since early 2022, if you can believe that - almost 2 years! This game would be your typical DW fare, with plenty of xeno-killing, but hopefully with a bit more to the plot as well, with an edge of intrigue and investigation to keep things interesting! I'm not quite sure how it would work in terms of whether the story would develop along the same lines that I had originally imagined, or if it would go off in a completely different direction, but I think it would be interesting to try it out? Even with Vulgar Display now on hold, there is plenty currently happening with Archaeotech 2 and Time of Reaving (and then Silent Architect still to come) so I might hold it back for a while? But I figured it couldn't hurt to see if anyone thinks the idea is interesting enough for me to start developing a few bits in the background? So, does anyone fancy a bit of DW?

So I've been away form teh hobby quite a while.... still been buying models I liked, but just never getting past the build phase. I decided last week I need to get SOMETHING painted. I had just gotten the 30K Mechanicum heavy support box and the pile'o'shame was at the tipping point. I finally decided on Ryza, as I don't see a TON of that around. So here are the first two pieces at a 90%ish completion point: Now, the Krios is less then 90%, simply because it is completely magnetized on the main weapon and the other 2 arent' even started past the base coat. I'm really not sure how I want to do the treads. Both need weathering, and weathering terrifies me.

Hello Everyone! Been out the hobby for about 7 years and decided recently the Deathwatch are the army to get me back into it. Decided to record my progress as i go. I'll be adding some inquisition as well when I've got them time. But first i decided to make up some Primaris Deathwatch to get me started. I really wanted to see what the new primaris models were like and thought i might as well make them Deathwatch. Probably won't get any more though, just normal size after this. Here are some pics! Did a fair bit of conversion work on the basic intercessors to get them to be deathwatch. Added the shoulder pads and the elbow detail on the left arms, sculpted shot selectors into the boltguns, filed of the chest eagles and replaced them with pouches, grenades and bullets and sliced up the right arms to incorporate the wrist scanner. Here's a close up of the Sergeant Prior to this i painted up some random servitors i had unpainted from years and years ago as Inquisition for practice. I'll post more when I've painted the primaris squad. Let me know what you all think!

Hello everyone! I've been working on this army for a long while and thought i should post it here to see what you all think. I always like to get comments and constructive criticism on my work so please let me know what you think of them all! I've taken some photos of the whole set plus i've added the photos from my entry to Armies on Parade last year. If you want to see any of the models in more detail let me know and i can add photos of them, OR you can check out my other topic in the deathwatch forum here. I'll be updating this as build and paint more models, the first update is already below! I've arranged the army in a rough outline of the watch fortress structure, they all have the correct squad designations on their kneepads and i've got an excel sheet to record who is in which squad! Almost all of them are from different chapters as well (another reason for the excel spreadsheet) I like to make them all a bit unique with the names and chapter background, i endeavor to add some elements of their home chapter to the model but after the 50 most well known ones it gets difficult! So i come up with a feel for their chapter from the name, colour scheme or what i decided to make up for them. I like to add little details like that, as you can see from the photos i am very fond of converting. All of them have the deathwatch wrist scanner, shoulder pad and elbow pad, where possible i also give them the ammo pouches and more! My goal is to build a deathwatch version of every unit currently available to them! So if you can't see something in these photos i will build one eventually! Please let me know what you think of all these!!!
