Chris521 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I did a little conversion with the new Vanguard Captain. Since I've been converting all of my Veterans into Reivers, I wanted a captain that was in similar armor. I needed to carve out part of the cape the make the DW shoulder pad fit. I them cleaned it up a bit with some green stuff. I also removed the helmet hanging on his belt. I'm planning on attempting the same conversion for a Watch Master Funny thing with the Storm bolter / Relic blade loadout is that it was my question that they initially said no to in the FAQ. I'm glad they changed their minds.

Syward Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Greetings Brothers & Sisters of the Watch! (and everyone else too!) I've got a couple of new Deathwatch conversions that will be joining my forces. 'Primaris' Watch Master https://imgur.com/gallery/zDAmJUp 'Primaris' Librairan w/Jump Pack https://imgur.com/gallery/BNCva29 I also made a Watch Captain w/Jump Pack & Thunder Hammer, but I'm not decided on which Thunder Hammer I'm going to use yet.

Chris521 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Put a watch captain in Phobos Armor . This may have been the most difficult conversion I've done, basically combining the Vanguard captain with the Watch Master kit. High resolution photos really make the green stuff stick out. I looks cleaner in my hand. I waiting on a few bitz to finish up another Captain, Librarian and Chaplain.

Chris521 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I finished the librarian and Chaplain. The Chaplain is just a Primaris version of one I did earlier in the thread. The Librarian was more involved and uses the Vanguard Librarian with deathwatch arms, blood angels storm bolter, BA shoulder pad, the BA terminator librarian axe and a Sanguinary guard jump pack. I do have to make a bit of a decision to make with the bases. Rules wise, all of my conversions are old marines, meaning the HQs go on 32mm bases. Modeling wise, they are all Primaris which have 40mm HQs. I do think they look better on the larger bases, however, when it comes to things like aura buffs, it could be considered modeling for advantage. I'm not sure what to do.

Personally, I think Marine Characters should go on 40mm unless they're too big to go on a 40mm. .... that and if we go by the recent Chaos Marine releases, GW thinks so too, as every single new character they've released since Khârn's model update has been on a 40mm or bigger (50mm with Typhus and the Lord of Contagion, and 60mm in Abaddon's case) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351054-lets-see-your-deathwatch-conversions/page/4/#findComment-5351286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cruoris Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Chris, I got the same ide after seeing Sywards converted watchmaster. =) So this is how I ended up with mine. Still need abit more green stuff on the cloak and the base needs fixing. But I'm fairly pleased with how he ended up. =D http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/gallery/image/263464-resized-20190723-082407/ http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/gallery/image/263465-resized-20190723-082508/ http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/gallery/image/263466-resized-20190723-082534/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351054-lets-see-your-deathwatch-conversions/page/4/#findComment-5351434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris521 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I probably will end up just using the 40mm bases. Its not as interesting as the other conversions, but I built up the last Phobos captain These are gonna be the HQ's I role with for a while. I'm splitting my hobby time between painting and converting about 50 veterans to phobos armor.

IronDreddKnight Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 So who’s planning a primaris smash captain conversion using the new kayvaan shrike model? He looks perfect for deathwatch.

Mr4Minutes Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 To be honest. I’m not buying a single primaris model without having the rules that explicitly state DeathWatch can take them. For conversion or otherwise. I’ve got the entire Space Marine half of shadowspear growing mold on my shelves right now. I’m still a little frustrated that we can’t take them. That said, I really like the new CM Shrike model. ( I know some don’t, but I’m not trying to drag that argument here) So if we get access to more of the Phobos line I’d happily convert one into a Captain of some type. I’d actually keep him twin lightning claws and the pistol. It’s his unique thing, why change it?

Syward Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 So who’s planning a primaris smash captain conversion using the new kayvaan shrike model? He looks perfect for deathwatch. I agree, the model is amazing and it's really unique too. If the beaky helm was an option to actually use instead of being on the belt, I'd probably pick it up & make a jump capt out of it. Planning a phobos armor Raptors force with nothing but Primaris marines in Phobos armor w/some flyer support in the future, may still pick him up for that. To be honest. I’m not buying a single primaris model without having the rules that explicitly state DeathWatch can take them. For conversion or otherwise. I’ve got the entire Space Marine half of shadowspear growing mold on my shelves right now. I’m still a little frustrated that we can’t take them. I understand where you're coming from, but TBH, I think you're missing out. The models are great, even if we don't have rules for them, they can easily become counts as veterans. That's how I'm going to handle them. Standard Primaris marines that we do have rules for will be used in my army as their actual unit (Fortis Kill Teams) - but I'll be using the Phobos armored primars as my Veteran Squads. I've seen a few great conversions done by one of our fellow DW players where they did the same thing and they came out fantastic. Just because we don't have official rules for the models, doesn't mean we can't still use them.

Vel'Cona Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I'm not hyped for the new Shrike but I agree with some serious conversion work the "chassis" is a good platform for a much better final product. He'd certainly give us a "spec ops" style build for a sneaky Watch Captain, though I've yet to see anyone use the Phobos Captain in the same concept . . .

bluntpencil Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Paint needs a bit of cleaning up, but here's my Gravis Captain, now dual-fisting melta. Also, he's a Storm Warden.
