Avoghai's Deathwatch painting log

[Vel'Cona]

You have made the correct chapter choices, brother, particularly the beaky green-shouldered gent.  

 

Overall awesome unit and I look forward to hearing about them cleansing many xenos with righteous fire!  

[Master Avoghai]

The marines are done :

Huge Pics!

 

I love that green. I wouldn't have the nerves to try it, but it gives your dudes a great, distinctive look. :)

[Master Avoghai]

Liitle kill team game last week here's the pics

 

As you can see I played against a fluffy but really original opponent :

The battle was a little unfair as the spores lose lots of bonus by being played separately whereas the kill team express their full potential, particulary with the specialists special rules

 

But a fun moment :lol: 

 

Soon 4 new marines to add to the painted pool

[Vel'Cona]

Interesting, but what in the name of the Emperor kind of 'Nid list is that??? 

[Master Avoghai]

Interesting, but what in the name of the Emperor kind of 'Nid list is that??? 

 

Well Actually my opponent wanted to try the list he was building in kill team mode. It's a 1000pts list based uniquely on spores using formations from the deathstorm supplements and WD datasheets.

 

We tried it at 200pts but lots of bonus depends on the number of spores in the squad like a +S  bonus for each additionnal spore in the squad... Problem : since all spores were independant he could not profit from this bonus. 

 

And btw, as promised, 4 more guyes are done :

That's coming along really nicely. I like those Stalker Bolters too. I gotta come up with something for mine if I keep using them, as the models are a little... repetitive in the box. I still love that highlight scheme. ;)

[Master Avoghai]

More Deathwatch mini after 2 months without painting!

 

I've made 6 more veterans, please note that I don't paint them as a playable squad : I just pick a few models I want to do and chose different weapons to break the monotony of the task ^_^

And my first bikes :

 

I've chosen to paint the watch tower symbol on this side

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Deathwatch/4E66AEC8-CB56-4A16-B83B-8D9CDD2965D4.jpg

 

And on the other side, the chapter symbol

I've always hated painting bikes, but you've done a great job on those. The added chapter work on the side fender is ace. Love it... also glad you got an axe in there. Do you remember what kit that's from?

[Master Avoghai]

Yup it's the Black Templar accessories sprue

[Prot]

Nice. Thank you.

[Vel'Cona]

Rad bikes!  The power weapons came out really strong.  :)

[Master Avoghai]

Another squad finished for today :

 

it makes me around 20 veterans painted.

[Vel'Cona]

Great work as always!  Going to be awesome to see this whole army come together.  I still think your choice of highlights is excellent and it gives your DW a unique "pop" :)

[Master Avoghai]

Back on my project after 3 months of mechanicus dedication

 

I'm back with 3 veterans including my first termi :

 

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Deathwatch/310123FE-1C38-4BE5-B188-3D5EC68761DA.jpg

 

I have a 10 men squad to do AND 5 termis

 

That's the first 3 of them

[Prot]

Very nice job on all three!

 

I think the chapter specific work looks great and that Cassius iron hands dude has a combi if I recall and that's looking a lot better in 8 th.

 

Nice work.

[Master Avoghai]

Wow long time without posting though we've seen some advance since then...

 

And also we'll see photobucket changing its use conditions <_< *sigh*

 

 

Any way, more deathwatch goodies here to see :

 

First 2 models from KT Cassius (I now have to do the WS, the BA and Cassius to end the KT)

 

Then a Raptors vanguard

 

And a Red Scorpions bike

 

I'm now working on a RZB to give support to my stalker bolters

 

I've also started mouting more vets using Shapeways shoulder pads... More to come as I would like to make 4HB vets and also 2 more frag cannons

[Master Avoghai]

I'm still advancing on my deathwatch

 

5 more vets done :

 

 

Side view to show alternative chapters from pop goes to the monkeys

 

As well as Artemis :

The kit bashing is working nicely. I wondered if you'd notice the height/size differences easily but it's all blended in quite well. Those shoulder pads make a big difference too, and I imagine those are getting harder to find all things considered. Very nice job. :TU:

[Vel'Cona]

Lovely Artemis!  I still feel that your unconventional highlights take place of pride, here.  You also use subtle colour variations (like shoulderpad rims) to make certain models stand out, which I think helps to break up the dark tones of the DW Veterans.

 

What I'm saying is "Great work!"  :D

[Master Avoghai]

Thanks for the support

Well not THAT hard.. Pop goes to the Monkey make nice deathwatch kits with symbols orentated the right way. If I had one reproach it would be that his kits systematically include one or 2 standard chapter symbols like templars or imperial fists... :(

 

I have made 2 more vanguards in order to get a 5 man squad full painted

 

[Prot]

I agree they're good pads, I was just referring to the alleged law suits. I may have to pick some up before it's too late. 

 

My own Deathwatch have no new units.... I just can't figure out how to get them going in 8th but if I did, I'd probably start using some new pads. :)

 

Vanguard are looking good. Have you done a lot with the Vanguard in 8th? How are they working for you?

[Master Avoghai]

Actually those 5 vanguards I have painted are remnants of the v7 when I tried to get some options for vanguards included in KT hence hey are not really designed to be played in v8... I just wanted them to be painted. :)

 

I'm actually in the process of converting more with double pplasma in order to get 5 in DS beside a captain with relic blade and a combi weapon. This would give a nice alpha strike unit.

[Prot]

Oh yea, I like that idea. Double plasma pew pew with Re-rolls of 1.... overcharging pew pew. :tu:

[Master Avoghai]

The squad of pew pew is now done

 

As well as the capatin for overcharge pew pew

 

I've also convertes Culln to use him as the sgt of my 3x assault cannon termi squad

 

 

 

New chapters are in!
