SwashBuccaneer Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I only recently got into the hobby (a few months ago) and have been chronicling my Deathwatch progress. I picked up the Dark Imperium boxset and played with painting the Death Guard contents. I got around 1k points painted up when the Deathwatch Codex dropped and when I saw them I knew I had to collect and play them! I created this album to document the process as I went through to building up a 2k list. https://imgur.com/a/wd4TXNL I was doing the same with my Death Guard as they were my very first miniatures I'd ever done. Maybe one day I'll get around to finishing them. :D https://imgur.com/a/IXayN Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349404-my-first-army-deathwatch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Mike Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 For a first army these lot are brilliant. What kind of stuff did you paint beforehand?

MagicMan Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Great looking army! You're either a natural talent, or 40k isn't your first rodeo. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349404-my-first-army-deathwatch/#findComment-5140789 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwashBuccaneer Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thanks for the replies and feedback. I painted a few airplane models with my dad when I was a kid but they were never any good and that was a looooong time ago. :) Watched a lot of YouTube videos before I ever bought my first model that was a tremendous help.

SwashBuccaneer Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Latest progress. Haven't gotten to paint much because WoW has sucked me back in. Couple Shield Boys: Vet Kill Team playing with a different technique than my other guys so far to see how I like it.

SwashBuccaneer Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Thanks! I'm getting excited. I've been working on these guys after getting into the hobby since May and there's light at the end of the tunnel finally. I took a long break around August and hadn't done anything with them until recently. Now I have boxes of Genestealer Cults piling up on the shelf waiting their turn. Starting to think there is never an end in sight! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/349404-my-first-army-deathwatch/#findComment-5264100 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwashBuccaneer Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Last Kill Team for my army just about finished. Decided to play with my airbrush a little more and use it for more than just base boating, priming, and varnishing. And the gang all together while their bases dry.
