Deathwatch Army WIP

[Brother Morgan]

I've always liked the idea of collecting different chapters but not enough time nor money to do so. When the Deathwatch was created a few years ago, I created a 10 man squad using the metal parts that were available then. With the new plastic Deathwatch releases, I finally had the time, money and ability to create a Deathwatch Army.

 

I work on the rule of cool - I don't build to game, just for the love of converting, modelling and painting. Some of my models have illegal weapon load outs e.g. bolt pistols, but I can't see how the most ELITE Space Marines can not carry side arms!!. Whenever I see a useful Space Marine part on ebay or bitz sites I get it as you never know when you will need to use it!

 

I want to make veterans from as many different chapters as possible and am using this poster as a starting point (the ones with ticks are the chapter badges I've already made and put onto veterans):

I'm trying to convert existing shoulder pads and bits and sometimes a bit of milliput to sculpt the different badges. I'll show you some later and explain where I got the parts as well.

 

So without further ado:

 

Silver Skulls Deathwatch Veteran

This trooper was made from the new Deathwatch Veteran Kit which has a fantastic amount of spare pieces to make loads more troopers when added to my bitz box. Rather than the usual standing pose, I went with a kneeling pose.

 

Blood Drinkers Deathwatch Veteran

This Chapter Badge was easy to make. I used a Blood Angel Shoulder Pad and added a Blood Drop taken from another Blood Angel part.

 

Relictors Deathwatch Veteran

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/22/845677_sm-Relictors%20Deathwatch%20Left%20Side.JPG

 

I used an old Warhammer Shield Skull for a chest piece and a skull from a Thunder hammer to make the Relictors' Chapter Badge.

 

Space Wolves Deathwatch Veteran

I really enjoyed making this veteran. I've never painted a face and hairstyle like it before and it was far easier than I thought it would be.

 

Iron Hands Deathwatch Veteran

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/22/845668_sm-Iron%20Hands%20Deathwatch%20Right%20Side.JPG

 

I had purchased the Iron Hands robotic legs years ago and had used it on another model. When I was creating my Iron Hands veteran, I canabalised the part and added a FW Iron Hands Torso and Helmet to really emphasise which Chapter the veteran comes from!

 

I've completed 32 Deathwatch veterans so far and will add more to this thread in the near future.

Here's the next batch of marines on my painting bench. I paint a lot of marines at the same time. I paint the same colours on each marine before moving onto the next colour/process. It's time consuming BUT when I finish, I have a lot finished at the same time.

 

In case anyone is interested here's my painting order:

 

1) Black spray base coat.

2) Paint all areas I want to paint red with a white undercoat. Then paint the areas red.

3) Paint the areas I want silver with a black undercoat. Then paint the areas silver.

4) Paint all the gold bits.

5) Paint all the brown bits.

6) Use Nuln oil on all the red, brown, gold and silver areas.

7) Paint all the red, silver and gold over spills with black.

8) Edge highlight all the brown and black parts.

9) Paint chapter badge.

 

I'll post some more shots soon.

 

Regards Brother Morgan.

[Vash]

That order of painting is very similar to mine :D 

Favorite is the kneeling marine. Got a nice feel to it.

This is a Chapter I made up. The shoulder pad was from the Dark angels range. I really enjoyed painting the face on this one.

This Chaptor badge was a fairly simple conversion from the Raptor/Mentor Legion Shoulder pad.

I loved making this Veteran. I think twin thunder hammers looks super cool and thoroughly in keeping with the Salamanders Chapter.

 

Till next time, Brother Morgan.

Wow. The poses are just amazing. Great individual touches!

I love the shotgun Veterans. I imagine these troops in front of a horde army dishing out the Emperor's salvation!!!

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/22/845648_sm-Howling%20Gryphons%20Deathwatch%20Right%20Side.JPG

 

I love the heraldry on this Chapter badge.

 

Genesis Deathwatch Veteran

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/22/845645_sm-Genesis%20Deathwatch%20Right%20Side.JPG

 

The shoulder pad was made from milliput. I sculpted an upside down triangle. Once dry, I shaped and sanded it. I then added the symbol with more milliput. I shaped and sanded it once dry to what you see here. I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Charcadon Deathwatch Veteran

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/22/845640_sm-Charcadons%20Deathwatch%20Right%20Side.JPG

 

The shark was sculpted with milliput. I let the rough shape set for around 1 hour and then with a new scalpel, I cut the shape of a shark out. It's not perfect, but I'm overall happy with this sculpt and paint job.

I used lots of Space Wolves parts on this one. Black and red shoulder pad rather than the usual colours.

 

Blood Angels Deathwatch Veteran

 

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/22/845632_sm-Blood%20Angels%20Deathwatch%20Front.JPG

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/22/845631_sm-Storm%20Giants%20Deathwatch%20Right%20Side.JPG

 

This was a simple conversion, a thin piece of plasticard cut in the shape of a lightning bolt. Simple but really effective.

I raided my Dark Angels bits for the shoulder pad and my scouts for his sniper rifle.

 

Sons of Orar Deathwatch Veteran

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/12/22/845605_sm-Sons%20of%20Orar%20Deathwatch%20Right%20Side.JPG

 

This was an Ultramarine symbol press moulded and then carefully whittled down to fit and then stuck upside down. Simple and again, I think very effective.

 

Ultramarine Tyrannic War Deathwatch Veteran

I got this model from ebay. With a few Deathwatch bits added, another trooper completed.

http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2017/1/2/847544_sm-Lamenters%20Deathwatch%20Veteran%20Right.JPG

 

This shoulder pad wasn't difficult to do - time consuming, but not hard. A small layer of milliput was smoothed within the shoulder pad frame. It was allowed to almost dry when I used a clean scalpel blade and gently pressed the chequerboard design. Once dry, a small ball of milliput was made into a flat disc. Once dry, a small heart was sculpted out of milliput. To finish, I carved a small blood drop out of a thin piece of plasticard. Simple, but effective!

Another kill squad:

 

Omega Marine Deathwatch veteran

 

 

 

 

I turned an Ultramarine symbol 180 degrees and then added a skull to make the Omega Marine badge.

 

 

Brotherhood of a Thousand Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

This shoulder pad started with a small disc of milliput. Once dry, I carefully sculpted a capital letter M out of milliput.

 

 

Death Spectres Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

I used a Deathguard crossed scythes icon with a skull added to make this shoulder pad.

 

 

 

Fire Lords Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

The shoulder pad was based on a Word Bearers icon. I added an imperial fist icon to finish.

 

 

Deathstrike Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

This icon was sculpted from nearly dry milliput and a sharp scalpel blade.

 

 

Blackshield Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

 

 

Iron Lords Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

This shoulder pad started as a Nova Marine. The bottom part was filed off and then an imperial fist icon was added.

Many thanks guys for your comments. There's more to follow....I will do a group shot when I get everything finished, but I still have most of a bike squad and multiple terminators as well as more Veterans to start painting!!!More veterans:Black Templar Deathwatch VeteranI made this veteran years ago when the original metal shoulder pad and bolt guns came out. Blood Angel Deathwatch VeteranLots of Blood Angel parts were used on this marine. I decided to use an older jump pack mark on this one and bend a deathwatch icon over the top.Invaders Deathwatch VeteranI decided to use a Mk III marine as they look cool when armed with boarding shields! The invaders icon was made from a spare plastic skull and a star sculpted from milliput.Sable Swords Deathwatch VeteranI used 2 Dark Angels icons swords chopped and bent to fit on the shoulder pad. I thought some extra fuel tanks would help bring more righteous fury on xeno scum!!Masters of Proteus Deathwatch Veteran BikerThe Chapter badge was sculpted from milliput. I used a spare outrider bike and parts from multiple kits to make this vet.Till next time, Brother Morgan.

Knights of the Raven Deathwatch Veteran

 

Update time.

 

 

 

No conversion needed on this shoulder pad - a simple paint job was all that was required.

 

Dark Angel Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

A quick conversion from Dark Angel parts I had in my bits box.

 

White Templars Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

I wanted a special force vibe for this guy - I added a few bolter magazines across his chest to make sure he never runs out of ammo. The shoulder pad was sculpted out of milliput.

 

Dark Angel Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

You can never have too many heavy flamers to kill the xeno scum!!!

 

Brazen Minotaurs Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

 

Just a simple paint job on this one.

 

Dark Hunters Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

The shoulder pad was again a simple milliput sculpt.

 

Salamanders Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

 

Lots of ammo on this veteran.

 

I've just finished my 100th veteran. I'll post more over the next few days.

 

Regards, Brothers Morgan.

The awesome just never stops in this thread!

 

Just noticed your Blackshield's shoulder pad . . . Soul Drinkers reference?  :D

It's supposed to be an Emperors Children - I have made a Soul Drinker, I'll show it off soon.

 

Crimson Fist Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

Simple paint job to convert this from an Imperial Fist to a Crimson Fist.

 

 

 

Iron Knights Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

I sculpted the shoulder pad cross out of milliput and have since made a mould to make different chapters with similar designs. I added lots of spare magazines as I feel you can never have too much ammo!!!

 

Flesheaters Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

This was a fairly simple chapter badge to make. Once a thin layer of milliput had almost dried, I used a scalpel to cut out the shape of the badge. I am really pleased with the result.

 

Doom Warriors Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

I haven't done many plasma weapons, so I thought I'd go overboard on this veteran! I used a Sternguard shoulder pad as a base and then extended the tail feathers from milliput. Once dry, I added a lightning bolt from milliput and finally a small skull to finish. Simple to do, but painstakingly slow!

 

Carmine Blades Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

The shoulder pad was made from a skull and blood drops made from milliput.

 

Herald of Ultramar Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

The shoulder pad started as a Blood Angel icon with a star sculpted over the middle. Easy to do.

 

Storm Hawks Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

 

I cut a lightning bolt out of thin plasticard and added it to a Raptor shoulder pad. Again, a simple conversion!

 

Rampagers Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

 

I used an Imperial Fist icon as the starting point for this chapter badge. After placing it at a 45 degree angle and then added some plasticard lightning bolts.

 

I'll add some more soon.

 

Regards, Brother Morgan.

More updates:

 

Blackshield Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

This was made years ago when the original metal head, shoulder pad and bolt gun were released. I went with an "Alien" type weapon by using a metal SM Scout Heavy Bolter.

 

Imperious Reavers Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

I used an Ultramarine shoulder pad as the base and then used a sword from a DA icon and carefully filed it until it was the same depth as the UM icon. When added together, a striking chapter badge was created.

 

Iron Hands Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

 

I used a backpack from the Devastators set to differentiate this marine.

 

White Scar Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

As with the Blackshield veteran posted earlier, this was made from the original metal parts and a metal White Scar shoulder Pad.

 

Shadow Wolves Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

 

Went overboard with wolves on this one!! I don't plan on making anymore Space Wolves conversions so I thought I'd try and use as many SW parts I had in my bits box for this one.

 

Imperial Talons Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

The shoulder pad was sculpted out of milliput. I've made a small mould so I can do other chapters with the same icon in the future.

 

Blood Swords Deathwatch Veteran Biker

 

 

 

The bike was taken from the DA Dark Vengeance box set and equipment was added to allow the biker to scout ahead of the main deathwatch and survive.

 

 

The shoulder pad was created by filing and carefully bending a sword from an old DA icon and then adding 3 blood drops made from plasticard. Again, simple but effective.

 

Novamarine Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

I love the bases that I've found for the Assault squad - fun to paint up!

 

White Scar Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

 

Skull Bearer Deathwatch Veteran

 

 

 

https://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2017/6/3/881245_sm-Deathwatch%20Skull%20Bearer%20Rear.JPG

 

I used an Armorcast missile launch part on this trooper and I am really happy with how the "blast" has turned out.

 

 

Regards, Brother Morgan.

Wow, that Doom Warriors Veteran is pretty confident in his technology, eh?  Pretty beastly, though!  :D

A Ravenwing Meltabomb rack was added to this veteran's backpack.

This Chapter Badge was an Imperial Fist icon with small milliput lightning bolts added.
