Darkchild130 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thought about building an army again after a hiatus of about 5 years, so I built a mini. I'd like feedback on his look, I'm going for sort of an SF feel. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f5/darkchild131/Deathwatch.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f5/darkchild131/IMG_20110412_133601-1.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f5/darkchild131/Deathwatch2.jpg Darkchild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellos05 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Great start good to see the last five years havent dulled your green stuff skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungWolf7 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 A lot of work on one mini, but I completely get it. To reinforce the idea you might want to add a sling to the bolter to give the idea he can drop it without losing it in a fracas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Those GS skills are awesome, amazing how much detail you have squeezed in! I really like the bolter, nice little touch that :jaw: . He certainly looks very kitted out for the occasion. How many of these bad boys do you intend to make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkchild130 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys. If I decide to commit I will ease myself back into 40k slowly, so They will start as a Kill team (in the Deathwatch sense and game sense) then maybe a combat patrol etc. Darkchild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twopounder Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I really like the LBV. A three point sling would be cool, but he couldn't hold it very far from his chest for that to work (otherwise it would dangle around his knees). Maybe add an antenna to his helmet as well? I definitely like where it's going so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have a sling when mag clamps are available? @Darkchild - looking good so far mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twopounder Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 That was aimed at Young Wolf. I was pointing out why it didn't have a sling :P Though a 3 point allows you to simple drop the weapon and grab another without worrying about where you're going to put it. The idea would work for guardsmen, but its tough with how marines pose and their unnatural body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reckoning Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Those GS skills are inspiring, especially the buckles. Currently working on a DW kill team myself so would love to see where this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a slave to only one sling at the moment, it was orginally the Magpul MS2 and now is the MS3 - can switch from 1 point to 2 point easily, cant get much better for direct action!

Kierdale Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Excellent. Outstanding detail and GS sculpting there. Kudos, DarkChild, kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Can't wait to see him painted! Very nice GS details! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkchild130 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 thanks all for the kind words, glad to see the desired look is working for you! @Pulse: I've been using a Blackhawk single point bungee sling for some years now that I picked up in Kuwait. Works for me. Darkchild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
