Truescale Deathwatch. 20/10 Big Update

[Justoneguy]

Hi.

After some years away from the hobby now i have some time to sculpt.

 

Due my lack of materials and money, i decided go for a small truescale force, since i had some terminators sprues form the past. I won't play much, so Deathwatch is a valid option since my fiends don't care is not "legal" for normal games.

 

Here's my first try at truescaling. It's a basic marine, nothing too specific, just trying some things.

 

Hope you like it. Cheers

Nice!!!

[Combat_Vet]

I really like the "heaviness"of this marine. It really comes across as what I expect a marine to look like. Top notch and I am looking forward to seeing more when you get them posted.

[Commissar Molotov]

Very impressive indeed. I will be saving and studying the pictures. Which arms did you use?

[Justoneguy]

Thanks for the kind comments.

I used terminator arms in this one. But I'm working on a some with enlarged normal arms.

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

That's a great start. What sculpting materials did you use?

[Commissar Molotov]

Ah, sorry - I meant which terminator arms? I assume it's a storm bolter arm cut at the shoulder and a storm shield arm with a hand attached?

[Veteran Sergeant]

Nice.

Excited to see what else you come up with.

[One-eye]

For a first try it's impressive. Such a smooth result, and I love the helmet. Keep going, I want to see a full squad :)

[Justoneguy]

Commisar Molotov: You're right. Strom bolter arm for the right and storm shield for the left.

 

BrotherCaptainArkham: I used GS, Tamiya Putty and for the bases DAS, it's a paper mass, once dry you break it for the rock effect.

 

Here is the second one. The base is not finished yet, and I think he's kind of falling backwards, so i'll fix that. Obviously it needs some more sanding and some details. I put the other for comparison and to show his new visor thingy. It's an Iron Hands marine:

 

 

 

And here's a preview of the normal arms enlargement i mentioned before. The shoulder pads and weapon are only for showing:

 

[Half Goat]

nice, will follow this with interest

[KrautScientist]

Those guys look wonderfully beefy! Great job!

[Grizzly_bear]

Looking great. As 200plus said they gave a real 'heaviness' too them. Great work

[Urael]

Excellent work! :D

I'm looking forward to seeing more of them!

Hi.

So, I've been organaziing my bits and I have for two complete squads of 5. I'll make them both full sternguards, no vanguards for now. Due to the lack of legs I started to sculpt a chaplain from scratch. And mi intention is to make a libby and a captain too at some point. Pics soon.

[Justoneguy]

Here is what i've done so far of he chaplain:

 

 

He'll have a thunder hammer/crozius and probably a storm shield (will count as Rosarius), i know it's not an option so i'll put a combi in a strap too.

 

I'm still working on the first 5 member squad. But i've been very busy with this guy. I'm seriously thinking about doing a Dreadnought, we'll see.

 

Cheers.

[Justoneguy]

This is the chaplain's shield:

 

 

I'm not sure if it needs something else. what do you think?

[Soric]

Seeing that he's a chaplain, you couldn't go wrong with some purity seals or a small sheet of parchment.

 

Some really nice looking Deathwatch you got there.

[Brother Callius]

Just amazing sculpting you got going there!

 

I would second Soric's idea of some sort of parchment on the shield to give it a more personalized look.

[reckoning]

Truly awesome sculpt-fu. Looking forward to more.

[Justoneguy]

Hi all,

 

Here's a big update. First of all the chaplains is finished, i just need to make the seals for the shield:

 

I was looking for something like a relic for the backpack, and the mandatory combi weapon for a deathwatch:

 

 

The first squad at the moment. It's still WIP:

 

And an Crimson fists Dread. I tried to make some bigger HB, let me know what you think please:

 

 

The new weapon, just need some sanding and details.I call it the Rynn Pattern:

Hope you like it!

 

[HellChyld]

love the combi flamer! all six models are great cant wait to see some paint on them! how is Tamiya Putty compared to GS or miliput?

[Grizzly_bear]

Totally 100% agree with that dread.....

[Cretheus]

just awesome!

[geektom]

Wow, incredible work- thank you for sharing.

 

Could we see some pictures with them standing next yo "vanilla" marines for comparison?

 

What is the yellow product you are sculpting with?
