Crusader of Dorn Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 This is the begining of my 'Collection of Kill-Teams' project, i figured that the DW would be a good place to start - Brother Arkus http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh262/Crusader_of_Dorn/wpz3.jpg http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh262/Crusader_of_Dorn/wpz4.jpg http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh262/Crusader_of_Dorn/wpz5.jpg This is a dry run set up, pre - green stuff (pre-everything) the painted bits are to be re-painted and i've still got a bit of converting to do. C&C at your leisure. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I love the =][= pad on DW KT, its a must have, I also really like the SB ammo box on the bolter, not eonvinced on the speeder targeting array on the backpack though... Look forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Weaver Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Look like a great custom job but I concur, ditch the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 At the moment the targeter array is just stuck on with blu tac, i intend to convert it properly and it will represent and auspex. It will also act as a designator for orbital strikes. (home grown rules for private games) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I think if you was to further modify the scope, mabey put a second laser target on the scope, that would look better, that array is just too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree that it looks too big as it stands, but there are a few things i plan to do in order to rectify that. I will cut into the backpack so that the sensor sits in to lower the profile and rig up a small turret type fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Ok, well i'll withhold judgement on the sensor array until its done, but teh rest is looking shiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKHaZZ13 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 the sensor looks a tad too silly.... If you want something liek that, use the searchlight thing the devastor squad box set comes with also if you can, get your hands on some "rare" heads (lol) Ya'know, the ones that arn't too common... The ones with targeters on, or the DWKT metal one with =][= on its forehead apart from that I like the pose and I really love the drum-ammo bolter conversion...neat and pretty good looking glad to have more DW'ers out there DH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissah Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Maybe anoob question but Im new to the game and still painting my first models. But what is a killteam what kind of missions can you play with it I been reading about it and seen that every faction can have them. Is it still being played a lot cause that is a cheapway to get a cool squad going. My models were free cause me mate gave them to me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKHaZZ13 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 a killteam was a gametype in the 4th ed codex and you can only play KT missions (they are specified in the 4th ed book, youll have to use them or make you own for 5th ed) a deathwatch kill team is the chamber militant of the ordos xenos and can be asigned to any imperial forces under the GW rules on the website they take up a HQ and a tropps choice, you'll need to take a HQ form ther original army list too however if you are a marine chapter (not gray knights) you may replace marines with a DWKT member these may be used in standerd games... though your oppnent has to agree to their use so in answer Killteam is a varient gametype a death watch kill team is an addition to the satnderd game type for certain forces DH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 A new look, i've changed the sensor it will have added bitz - still to come (antena, cableing etc) http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh262/Crusader_of_Dorn/wpz8.jpg http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh262/Crusader_of_Dorn/wpz9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader of Dorn Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Well i'm still re-designing the targeting array http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh262/Crusader_of_Dorn/wpz10.jpg http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh262/Crusader_of_Dorn/wpz11.jpg The GS looks mankie in this pic because i spilt super glue on it... http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh262/Crusader_of_Dorn/wpz12.jpg i'm still looking for bitz to add and there is obviously still more GS to be added. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Dude, he looked better with the helmet on =] But the targeting array loog good now, very good =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Knight Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 i like the new one it looks more archane (sp?) and gothic but i like the second-to-last one to, if it was bulked out it would look suitably technologfied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Great work so far! I think that the newest targeter is great! There was a horrific mold line on the first picture helmet, but it seems that he's clean now. Nice simple pose, not overly fussy. Can't wait to see some paint on it!

Crusader of Dorn Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Bad news about the targeter array - i wrecked it :P and so have scraped that part of the miniature altogether. The Good news is that i've started painting - http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh262/Crusader_of_Dorn/wpz13.jpg http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh262/Crusader_of_Dorn/wpz14.jpg This guy seems to be evolving into a Captain as i go, what do you guys think of the metallics so far? i tried for a grainy look rather than just super shiny.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Very good so far, I'm a fan of the classic approach to metallics rather than NMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I like the metallics alot mate, these going to be used as a Sternguard squad or a proper kill team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Stern what? These guys are going to be proper DW, i've bought some commander boxed sets today as i prefer the DW shoulder pads that come with them plus i'll have a fair amount of quality bitz to muck around with. I'm painting the Bolter just now, will update later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rindaris Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 In 5th Edition there are no more playable rules for Deathwatch. But a veteran unit called the Sternguard is coming out and they are basically... well... Deathwatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 In 5th Edition there are no more playable rules for Deathwatch. But a veteran unit called the Sternguard is coming out and they are basically... well... Deathwatch. I know what the SternGuard are and to be honest i have never let GW dictate the hobby to me in the past and i certainly wont let them do it now. DeathWatch are DeathWatch and thats that. GW might be looking to scrap the DW or they could be saving them expansion in Codex: Alien Hunters, (if it's not just a rumour) either way i love the DW and will continue regardless. (i'm lucky to have some mates that like 40k but could care less about the rules) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindaris Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I'm with you there. If they ever did make an Ordo Xenos codex I'd be switching over right with you. Unfortunately where I play I do have to worry about rules minded people, and I'm of mind to attend tourneys when I can... so I work with what I have to.
