Thanks again guys peeps, it warms my cold heart that this topic is still of interest to you all :tu: I have struggled with my hobby muse of late (as we all do from time to time) and this little Deathwatch project re-ignited it somewhat, so with a little luck I will get back on track.

 

@ Flint - I certainly feel out of practice, as do my dead and dying brushes and paints!! But I really enjoyed painting these which I haven't for a long time.

 

@ Auggie - I did have an Assault Marine planned with twin lightning claws too, but that's when my muse be like "Yo, why don't you just give him a fist instead, an paint him Death Company?" and "What about a few mates to go with him?"; "That Assassin of yours could do with assembly" and before you know it my finger had clicked away to purchase the Deredeo :D

 

Incidentally, when is the ETL this year?

Ooooh, a Deredeo. That'd look swell in your beautiful Flesh Eaters colour scheme.

 

The ETL will start, as it always has, in May? I'm guessing though. But I've had some PMs with Semper a while ago and he seemed very much intent on running it again. :)

Thanks Luther and 1K Eyes :)

 

Nothing too exciting guys, washed and built my Deredeo, needs a little gap filling hear and there before its ready for the ETL, but progress I tell thee! Not adventuress with the pose, but I quite like it -

Waiting on a fancy resin base :)

Cheers guys, I didn't find it too difficult really; there is not a great deal of parts really but the arms especially are tricky to line up. Pinning wise I have only pinned at the waist and hips, and I threw some magnets under the missile launcher.

 

Cretheus - it was yours bamf one that gave me the final push to buy one, though I think the Ceramite Armour is a requirement ;)

Well my base ha arrived now from eBay needs a little work, and I have to fill a little bit of a bubble here and there on the Dread, but he isn't far off for paint. Depends how my these new Black Legion formations whet my appetite; I am I the fortunate position of having loads of cool stuff to be able to paint; Deredeo, Death Co, Sanguinary Guard, Astorath counts as for my Flesh Eaters, while for the Legion I have a Sicaran, Abaddon, Khorne Termies, Possessed, Chosen, Berzerkers, Bloodletters, a Blood Thirster....and.....and.....ah :cuss !

Hmmm... If I said that there was a special Khorne focused event being planned right now to support the Chaos faction's ETL efforts, would that help you make your decision?

Naw man, as much as I would love to I am most likely rolling with the loyalists this year as I need the Flesh Eaters more up to date; its a shame that peeps can't paint for more than one faction (not that I ever finish much lol).

 

Maybe.......though the Legion needs work too......

Very nice look you have here!

 

Was surfing through the forum and found your Blog.

 

Also, might we see some ETL love from the Flesh Eaters? I sure think it would be keen if you haven't pledge anything yet. The Sons of Sanguinius need a bit of love and That Deredeo sure would look good in some red. :smile.:

Hey guys thanks for the comments :tu:

 

Dont-Be-Haten - sorry dude it took a lot of soul searching but I have pledged for my traitors this time. They just need more work to get them to a decent standard painted. Fear not, my Flesh Eaters will return!

 

Shadowblade- cheers man, I have no doubt posted it somewhere on here, but for ease here you go, all over a black undercoat -

 

Scorched Brown

Mechrite Red, leaving the brown showing in the recesses.

Blood Red as a first highlight

Troll Slayer Orange over some of the very sharp edges where applicable.

Battle damage to suit.

 

You may note that the brown and reds are old GW colours, I did actually buy a load of them up before they went out of production. Evil Midnight, naughty Midnight :D

 

Thanks again for the comments guys B)

Heh, cheers dudes; it's just since my return to the hobby (2009) I have been painting/playing Blood Angels or Flesh Eaters, and I am kind of enjoying the change of pace with the Black Legion atm :)

 

The Flesh Eaters will return in the future, have no fear :tu:

I actually played my own Home Brew chapter of Blood Angels for ages. Then the 7th ed. codex came out and I have fallen in love with the Carmine Blades. I fancy the "less" tainted of the traitor legions. If we can ever get some decent rules in 40k for the Iron Warriors and Night Lords, I will definitely pick them back up. But for the moment, all my chaos love goes to AoS actually.
