Vash Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hello, I was going to start an Ultra Marines army this autumn, focused a lot on First Company formation. But then Deathwatch came along, and as a former Grey Knight and Sisters of Battle player (inquisition) I could not pass this up to field the last of the three major "Inquisitions". Since the Deathwatch Kill Team box isn't out yet, I rushed out and bought the Overkill game. Wanted the Genesteeler cult models for a long time, and now I have a reason to buy the box. Excellent models with tons of details and "personality". Assembled the models yesterday and sprayed them. And today I managed to paint two of them. Started out with the Ultra Marines, in honour of the first army I played when I stared 40k. Now you have to excuse the shabby pictures, I have no light sources for picture taking at the moment. All I had was the roof lamp... But I could overcome most issues with the settings on the camera. Also... as the pictures are "enlarged" compared to the real model it self, minor misstakes that doesn't show in real life is really noticeable on these pictures. I'll be heading out for work over the next 4 days, and won't be able to paint during this time So the next guys have to wait for now... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Deathwatch/Ultra%20Marine.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Deathwatch/Space%20Puppy.jpg Yours Truly Vash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324881-deathwatch-plog-update-1750-pts-army-vash/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson73 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Nice work on the Wolf's face and the vibrant yellow of his shoulder pad.

Nemac Vradon Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Really like the vivid colours you have going there. Did you highlight these with Shadow Grey/The Fang? the black armour has a much deeper appearance which looks very cool :tu: Nemac Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324881-deathwatch-plog-update-1750-pts-army-vash/#findComment-4472002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thanks all, How do you rate the bases.. Tempted to do mine on these rather than urban cork ones Was a bit disappointed in the 32mm bases. With so "much" space, little creativity was accomplished on these bases. The 25mm bases have more detail it feels like. 40mm are okey too. But, overall, if you are lazy (as I am) they do the job. Nice work on the Wolf's face and the vibrant yellow of his shoulder pad. Face was really easy. Ceramite white as base, followed up with a skin tone of your choice (in my case Eldar Flesh). The a shade/was of purple. Already here it looks done (if the shade settles correctly and the right amount). Retouch it with the skin tone of chosen choice, watered down. Really like the vivid colours you have going there. Did you highlight these with Shadow Grey/The Fang? the black armour has a much deeper appearance which looks very cool Nemac Eshin grey followed by the Fenrisian Grey Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324881-deathwatch-plog-update-1750-pts-army-vash/#findComment-4472039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Deathwatch/Space%20Puppy.jpgAlright, I now wish you'd shaved his mohawk. I can't shake the feeling he'd look a lot like Trevor in GTA5, and that was one nut psycho! Love the execution, thanks for sharing your recipe btw, it's been a while since I last tried painting any significant quantity of black and yours look ace.

Vash Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Yah. That Mohawk is bugging me a bit too. It's no secret really with the recipe, it's from GWs own instruction video :) It's my first time in my 22 years in this game that I paint fully black models.

MithrilForge Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Ah Vash, great to see you in the Deathwatch... 2 weeks from now I'm sure you will have a fabulous fully painted DW force just like you did in the Ad Mech forum * Gee if that Wolf DW is Trevor....Run away fast if your name is "Mr Raspberry Jam" ... Mithril Stunning and quick work as always Vash = 2x Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324881-deathwatch-plog-update-1750-pts-army-vash/#findComment-4472514 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Haha. I'll do my best to get them up and running. But work prevents me from painting at the same speed as before. Also, these guys are full of neat details. Going to go much slower :( But I will do what I can ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324881-deathwatch-plog-update-1750-pts-army-vash/#findComment-4472609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Been working a few days, so not much has been done. But now I had some time off, and started painting two more deatwatch members. almost done, just need the bases and final high lights. But I aborted the painting for some kit bashing and assembling of the models I have and received from good friends. Made 6 members of my 10 man Aquila team, warmed with stalker pattern boltguns (and boltgun if that will be viable). The last member is a Librarian. The barrel of the boltguns has been extended with a barrel from the Skitarii Scicarian Infiltrators "uzi" pistol. One model has the carbine barrel... was a test model sadly enough. But once I get more "uzi's" I'll finish up the last three members and add the Librarian. Otherwise the unit is pieced together from Deathwatch Kill team, Sternguard veterans, and Vanguards parts. Random members in the second picture are put together in the same manner. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Deathwatch/IMG_1305.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Deathwatch/IMG_1306.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324881-deathwatch-plog-update-1750-pts-army-vash/#findComment-4478781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Awesome, I was thinking of using Sternguard with Deathwatch parts in my kill teams but was worried they looked too blingy compared to the basic badassery of the MK8 gear but yours look great - especially the Blood Angel! (I have some Sternguard to build, BA Tac squad and Vanguard with plenty of Deathwatch pads!)

Vash Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thanks. The blood angel is one of my favourites too. A friend of mine was a dedicated BA player and had a lot to donate. Wish I took some more :D But then it would just end up being a BA First company :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324881-deathwatch-plog-update-1750-pts-army-vash/#findComment-4478962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Very nicely done Vash! Can't wait to see the team all painted up I can't wait until Saturday when they release the Vereran box and I can start my own force - I managed to get Artemis off eBay for £8 with no P&P - Result!

Vel'Cona Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Good inspiration for our own Kill Teams, I'd say! Really working that "individual" flavor here.

Yah, trying to catch some personality on them. The Overkill models are really inspiring to create som "characters" of them all.

Vash Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Thanks mate! More to come and here they come. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Deathwatch/IMG_1310.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Deathwatch/IMG_1311.jpg And some allies, Militarum Tempestus. Slightly changed though... just a helmet swap. Thought that medieval armour looked ok with the helmet from the Skitarii Vanguards. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Deathwatch/IMG_1316.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Deathwatch/IMG_1318.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324881-deathwatch-plog-update-1750-pts-army-vash/#findComment-4480043 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverson Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I have actually thinking of an allied contingent similar to this, but using scions as regular guard in tauroxes.

Vash Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 The Vanguard heads fit perfectly. Not green stuff needed. The new kits are built to fit with each other.

Reyner Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 The Vanguard heads fit perfectly. Not green stuff needed. The new kits are built to fit with each other. The assault cannon terminator has an old Deathwatch shoulder pad. One that is included with the terminators. Epic! Now to buy a crap load more Scions who will work as Scions or Grenadiers in my Ultramar Militia!

Vash Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Been busy assembling the models I have. At the moment the force is 80% complete, only need 7 more veterans and 2 librarians. Then I am good to go for a test game. Anyhow, here are two more members (from the Overkill box). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/VashDime/40k/Deathwatch/IMG_1332.jpg Ugh... looking att the picture with the blown up version of them I can really see some clean up that needs to be done :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324881-deathwatch-plog-update-1750-pts-army-vash/#findComment-4481118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
