Deathwatch - 27/05/20 - Star Dragon

[Reyner]

Fire Angel?

[sockwithaticket]

Nope, but you're not far off such is the imagination behind space marine naming conventions.

The Fire Angels, despite the name, don't actually make any use of flame motifs.

Lovely work!

Very inspiring work. I might borrow a idea or two if you dont mind (got some anvil ind AM-rifles during the christmas sale) .  This is why I love the Deathwatch, so much scope to make unique Space Marines!

[LordCommanderSamirus]

Angels of Fire

[Nomus Sardauk]

Fire Hawks perhaps?

Thank you very much. Yeah, go nuts. We all post here to find and hopefully provide inspiration. Interested to see what you come up with.

 

Angels of Fire

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.

 

Fire Hawks perhaps?

Not this time, but I do have a pad waiting in the wings.

Man, i just stumbled on your post. you have some very nice poses!

 

and your stalker bolter guns are very sweet indeed.

 

very good job overall! keep going.

[Macabre Slanneshi Prince]

I'd guess Fire Angels, but I don't see a Ghost Rider head anywhere.

 

Edit oh there's another page

Here is the finished Angel of Fire:

Thanks Raychu, I do try to keep things interesting with the poses a marine #58712412 holding a bolter gets pretty old and I feel like DW marines should be more unique than regular marines anyhow.

Edit oh there's another page

Is there another Fire Angels chapter out there? The one I know of has no Ghost Rider-esque iconography, in fact their name is rather at odds with their scheme and chapter symbol.

Great use of Legion of the Damned bits, the flame motifs are very cool.

Rumbled!  :lol:

 

But agreed, those bits really work there.  I also enjoy the reverse-handed knife pose; I don't think we see it often enough these days!

[Prot]

Yea, that worked really well. Nice job on the flame pad. Great pose too. With all these black dudes you gotta do something to keep them unique sometimes. :tu:

*Clears out the cobwebs*

That was a longer absence than intended, I return with a marine of the Aurora Chapter ready to begin his watch




Reyner - thanks man, I now have to resist the temptation to overuse my LotD bits to do a bunch of flame oriented chapters.

Vel'Cona - Cheers, I love reverse grip knife holds, they just look cool. In danger of over-use, though, as I've put a couple on my INQ28 retinue members (which is partially what's kept me away from here).

Prot - Thanks a lot Indeed, that's tha challenge: keep them visually interesting in some way.

[Vel'Cona]

Interesting use of the carbine bits and ammo drum.  The green shoulderpad really works on this model, too :)

[sockwithaticket]

Getting back into the swing now and made a start on a couple of extra things:



Been toying around with more weapon variants too, which is half the fun of my 'Watch


Anyone know of any more chapters which this pad applies to? I've already got Brazen Claws and Red Talons, just looking to see if there are other options to consider.

Vel'Cona - Cheers, man. The Carbine always looked like a regular bolter variant to me, but a bit more tacticool. To my mind handle plus the ammo drum make it look like something with a bit of extra kick to take out bigger threats or to be used for suppression rather than accuracy.

[MagicMan]

Nice work! Will have to throw up a group shot sometime soon.

[sockwithaticket]

Finished Star Dragon and half a Dread.








MagicMan - Thanks, there's one on the previous page of this thread. I've only added a few marines since then, so I don't know that it'd be worth doing another yet.



 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Star Dragon.

[sockwithaticket]

As usual I got a little distracted and then this whole global pandemic thing hit and I actually had to work more rather than less. Anyway, I have finished the Dread, it's occupant was a Blackshield so no chapter iconography.



Bjorn - thanks as ever for stopping by and leaving a kind word.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Dreadnought. I'm surprised they honored a blackshield by interring him in a Dreadnought. What act of valor and self-sacrifice did the blackshield do, to convince others there is no risk of him using the Dreadnought's strength against them? (I remember the treacherous Soul Drinker Daenyathos.)
