Vel'Cona Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Excellent finish! The pose is well-done and it's great to see the mini go from build to paint in such a short time :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350717-watchers-of-death-gederas-deathwatch/page/3/#findComment-5214561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Excellent finish! The pose is well-done and it's great to see the mini go from build to paint in such a short time Thanks Vel! Brother Darren is just the first part of the True-Scale Kill-Team representing people from my FLGS (well, the person he's based on doesn't go, but that's because he's always busy on Warhammer Wednesday, and our FLGS is closed the two days he has off as well ). I've also got the other members in varying states of readiness for paint: From left to right: Iron Hands, Ultramarines, Raven Guard, Salamanders, Emperor's Spears (me) and Imperial Fists. The Salamander is the next one to be painted, but he'll have to wait for AFTER I finish my "Facing the Unknown" Kill-Team.

Gederas Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Double post, but I showed that line-up to my friends. I commented about thinking of adding more explosives onto the Ultramarine, to which he responded "Yes! All the nades" So I put all the 'nades on him: Not counting the Frag Cannon or the backpack, the model has:- The grenades from the Primaris grenade launcher (can be seen behind the shoulder in the first picture) [totalling five grenades]- 1 Melta Bomb- 4 Frag Grenades- 4 Krak Grenades For a total of 13 grenades/explosives. Aaaaand I'm thinking of shaving off the Imperialis on his chest to make room for more grenades :lol: I jokingly commented about adding one of the bombs from the Sector Imperialis Objectives to him, and his player again said "Oh god yes!" I need to figure out how to get that thing onto the model. Otherwise, that bomb is too big :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350717-watchers-of-death-gederas-deathwatch/page/3/#findComment-5214756 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gederas Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 This is a good meme. I approve of this model Thanks! I need to do more work on fixing the air holes on the backpack before I prime the body and backpack. Despite it being a good first attempt, it's still looking like Failcast at this point :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350717-watchers-of-death-gederas-deathwatch/page/3/#findComment-5215300 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a Sergeant in home Chapter)Chapter of Origin: SalamandersName: Shan'poeAspects of Note- Boisterous and gregarious, the Battle-Brother cooperates well with other Astartes when in attached Kill-Teams. [Appears to cause levity in the squad?] - Perhaps unsurprisingly, Shan'poe prefers closer-range combat. In particular, the battle-brother prefers using the Heavy Thunder Hammer designed for use by the Deathwatch. [salamanders preference for close-range battles appears to be endemic to the marines, not just Chapter's tactics.] - Was introduced to Fenrisian Mead by Wolf Guard [FILE CORRUPTED] on mission [REDACTED]. Due to lack of Fenrisian Mead amongst most members of the Watch, the Battle-Brother seems to have picked up habit of sampling alcohols from locals when possible. [Hip-flask can be seen in third attached image, beneath Shan'poe's right arm.] Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350717-watchers-of-death-gederas-deathwatch/page/3/#findComment-5217419 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gederas Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Just finished assembling the newest member of the Watch: I have to say, the model went together pretty well, EXCEPT when I got to the right arm. It glues together at the elbow, and you HAVE to make sure it's glued right so it'll connect to a point on his cape. Instead of, you know, having the part on the cape be something it slots UNDER and not glues TO Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350717-watchers-of-death-gederas-deathwatch/page/3/#findComment-5221185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Well, that's technically the first Patrol of my Watch Fortress done. From left to right: Ogun of the Salamanders, Gadriel of the Blood Angels, Sergeant Flavius Verecundius Macrinus of the Ultramarines, Zaron Devsalax of [REDACTED] (serving as a Watch Captain for this mission), Vilkas Blackhunter of the Space Wolves and Gerwald Thielemann of the Imperial Fists Need to do some tidying up in some spots, but otherwise, they're all done.

Gederas Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Captain Marez' shoulder pad arrived today thanks to Chaplain Dosjetka being AWESOME. Which means I'll finally be able to finish him (sans varnish) this weekend. Most likely he'll be fully finished Sunday because I'll be home all day on Sunday, and I don't like painting before work, because I lose track of time while painting :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350717-watchers-of-death-gederas-deathwatch/page/3/#findComment-5237558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gederas Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 I love the shaved head stubble. How did you achieve that effect Dawnstone and Lahmian Medium, in a 1:2 mix. Essentially, I made a glaze of Dawnstone, and built it up in a few layers (I think it was three?)

Bears a relic plasma pistol that was brought by Battle-Brother Krieger from Chapter of Origin. [Pistol appears to bear craft markings from Dark Angels chapter.

Gederas Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Beautiful works. Thanks! I realize my Deathwatch is, ironically despite having a simple colour-scheme, one of my most difficult and slow to do armies because of the painting. The highlighting is the difficult part because of the blue-black highlights. It took me roughly two to three hours to do that one model. The most time-intensive ones were Captain Marez, Darren and Zaron Devsalax because of the cloaks.

Gederas Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Thread's not dead, I've just been focused on my Dark Angels, and don't want to burn myself out by painting two black armies of Marines at the same time :lol:I have done another member of the True-Scale Kill-Team based on people from my FLGS though: That makes the numbers eight strong so far, 7 Marines and the Captain.
