Hi all! As of last month, I started building a brand new Deathwatch army for 8th edition, and figured I post up some of my WIP & completed models for your enjoyment (and critiques!) I was able to get my hands on one of the Deathwatch transfer sheets that (perplexingly) only existed in the LE Deathwatch codex, so I have decided to fluff these guys up as from Talasa Prime (will also make more sense for Fate of Konor). First up: the black! Starting off, we have Vallejo Black Primer followed by two airbrushed Zenithal highlights: Vallejo Game Air Sombre Grey (blue-ish, which is a nice contrast to all the red) and a 50/50 mix of that Sombre Grey and Vallejo Game Air Stonewall Grey. The red stripes on the vehicles are Vallejo Game Air again, Gore Red followed by a Blood Red highlight. As for the troops, here's a few example of what I've got so far: This guy is a Dark Angels Sgt, armed with a Xenophase blade and a combi-plasma. I like this loadout, and my first two Sergeants are both rocking this kit. And my first HQ completed: A lightly-converted Blackshield Librarian, with the Force Axe from the FW Sevrin Loth retinue kit. I'm building to 1000 points right now, which consists of: HQ: Librarian w/ Force Axe, Watch Master Troops: 2x identical Kill Teams - Sgt. w/ Xenophase Blade & Combi Plasma, Blackshield w/ Boltgun & Thunder Hammer, 2x Veterans with Power Swords & Boltguns, 1x Veteran w/ Frag Cannon (to be riding in Razorbacks). Elites: Venerable Dreadnought w/ Plasma Cannon & Heavy Flamer (next on the painting table!) Dedicated Transports: 2x Razorbacks w/ Twin Lascannons (turrets are Kromlech upgrades). Once I have this built and have some games under my belt, I plan on adding a Corvus or two and more kill teams. Hope you guys enjoy the thread!
