Aerixis Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hey guys! My current project is a squad of Deathwatch marines, mostly because they look awesome and functioning with Sternguard rules they're amazing on the table! I'm updating this as I finish them, but so far I have: An Imperial Fists Marine: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010319.jpg I really freaking enjoy free handing Chapter icons... http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010320.jpg I think the pose suits the energy of the character! http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010322.jpg A closer look at the free-handed icon and campaign scripture http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010324.jpg Here you can see the stubbly head, blood stains around the bionics, and just about make out the custom bolter! And I've got a Hawk Lords veteran (although he is somewhat WIP atm): http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010313.jpg This is a fantastic icon to free hand (actually not sarcasm...) http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010314.jpg here we can see his custom bolter.. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010317.jpg And his pose, throwing a knife. Sure I could just shoot you, but f*ck that I'm 'ard I'll shiv ya from a distance! http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010316.jpg And a slightly closer look at his Chapter markings. Warlock Purple is fun if...you..havn't got Warlock Purple and are forced to make it. Thats it for now, I've got a Dark Angels, an Angels Porphyr AND a Howling Gryphonnes marine to come! Because I hate myself, I make myself paint free-hand gryphonnes. Comments and criticisms welcome, I'd love to hear what you guys think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Lucius Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 they are very well done! the chapter symbols look awesome! can't wait to see the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pugnax Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I really dig the knife thrower. That's a really sweet idea. And the modded IF bolter is a nice touch, makes the 'specialist gear' idea pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireLizard Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 absolutely love the knife-thrower. I'm all for characterful posing with models, especially with the options the marine kits give us. One thought though, maybe give your armor a wash of 3/1 mix of Badab Black/Asurmen Blue? It'll tone down the highlights while at the same time give your armor that depth of color that black really has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil galed Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 that knife throw is awesome, one thing though, i'm not sure about the silencer after the barrel of the bolter, for one it wouldn't work and two it looks slightly weird. But aprt from that awesome!!! ~Gil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ac4155 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 nice minis, love the motion and flow of the first one. and the freehand looks pretty good as well. But the black could do with some more highlighting, possibly a dark blue? AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerixis Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 As I said to SCCOJake: Awesome! Thank you kind sir I shall be stealing, beating and pillaging your bullpup bolter idea! All credit will go to you btw, but it looks FRIKKIN' cool! nice freehanding too! Thought I'd change my Hawk Lords Deathwatch around a bit! http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010325.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010326.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010327.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010328.jpg Also, DARK ANGELS DEATHWATCH! http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010329.jpg WITH MOAR MOHAWK!!! http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010330.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010331.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010333.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/deathwatch/P1010334.jpg Because I have a mohawk, and I collect Angels of Redemption, I thought what the hey *green stuffs* As always, comments and criticisms always welcome!

Lord Commander Vulkus Dorn Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Love the mohawk, nice touch. I remember back in RT days when the DA were loosely based around Native American culture and this is a nod to that. Wow, now I feel old....

Heru Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 That mowhawk doesn't look right to me... I think it's because part of it is growing out of his forehead.. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerixis Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 That mowhawk doesn't look right to me... I think it's because part of it is growing out of his forehead..
