Prot Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 In a time of turmoil and unending war brought to our doorstep by the despicable Xenos we muster our forces for the coming battles.... Welcome to the Deathwatch 2016 thread that let's us gather, and inspire each other towards completion of our Vows in the coming weeks. Feel free to post your WIP's, questions, comments on your or your fellow Frater's vows. It is here that you can discuss the entries, or encourage your fellow Deathwatch Vow participants. This thread is not going to be pinned and will fall off when the challenge ends. The goal is to keep the original Vow thread cleaner, and to keep its content focused on initial Vows and Completions. Also feel free to link your own BnC painting blogs, or hobby threads here so we can see your progress. If you are uncertain of what this is all about, then I suggest 1) you are a filthy Xenos and have stumbled upon an area of the forum that means certain death for your kind, or 2) you need to sign up and check it out here: 2016 Deathwatch Painting Challenge ! ! !

Thunder_god Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'll get this one going! Here's the group picture of my veteran squad from my vow: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/wrnjr/CA81FB0B-C70A-4706-A3E7-0463EB29DCED_zpsyhcsodln.jpg Three are built and two to go.

Prot Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 Man those are just nice models. I mean I have them, and several are assembled but the kit is just nice. I like the inclusion of the Auspex. It's a good option for my Frag Cannon squads since we can't really take advantage of deny cover rounds in those squads.

Thunder_god Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Thank you Prot. I've since moved th auspex to another vet. I figured any self respecting Blood Angel would have a chain sword instead.

Demonknight Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 So much inspiration here! After reading some really fun looking load outs on the other forums I decided to go with this build for my Aquilla team. I am hoping to have them painted this weekend.

Demonknight Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 24hrs into the second kill team & half done.

Thunder_god Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Wow, off to a great start! It seems like everyone these days is cranking out excellent fleshtones. It's one of the simpler jobs I've done. I painted the face a very pale flesh tone from Reaper, the washed it with The current citadel flesh shade. Then I vent over it with some Kislev (don't know if that spelling is right), another thin wash of flesh shade, and finally a little flayed one flesh for the last highlights. You can almost get away with just the flesh wash over the pale base.

Prot Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Love seeing the stuff you guys are working on. Believe it or not I have been working every spare moment I have on my vow as well but I've been so busy away from work I haven't had much of a chance to post pics etc. I mostly wanted to pop in here to bump the post with a reminder that we're heading into the final 24 hours for the Deathwatch Vows. It might seem redundant but you'd be surprised how many people actually don't notice the sticky notes at the top of the forum!

Brother Callidan Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The Kill Teams are looking good everyone. I thought I should share what I have been slowly working on. The couple of days that I was counting on to work on my Kill Team didn't pan out so I'm hoping that I didn't bite off more then I can chew. I do have holidays coming up so might be able to pull some late nights if the Rug rat and wife let me. What do you all think? Should I carry the silver on the right shoulder pad to the Novamarine? and just a disclaimer Novamarine doesn't have any highlights and the Flesh Tearer still needs a couple here and there Oh and what colors are all you guys and gals doing your pip boys screens? I was just going to do all the lenses green but I didn't know if that would be to much or if I should change some of them up. I want the helm lenses green I know that much Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325549-2016-paint-challenge-gathering-of-forces/#findComment-4499718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Love the Shield Marine Callidan! Shotgun always looks good too (they did such a great job on that bit).

Prot Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Thanks Vel.... that Corvus is indeed a beautiful kit. I love it.

Thunder_god Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Great looking Corvus. Mine is 3/4 built. What method did you settle on for painting your block armor?
