Smoke Frog Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Recently I bought a bunch of new primaris models to build a Deathwatch force, really looking forward to building up an army of these guys from chapters all over the Imperium. I have gotten a lot of inspiration from members of this forum, thank you! My WIPs and army blog is here. Here is first space marine I have painted since Battle for Maccrage was still in stock!

Smoke Frog Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Very nice start, I especially like the Iron Snake. Â Thank you so much! Â BTW your work is a big reason why I entered and am still in the hobby... I remember seeing your truescale Night Lords back when I was just starting out in the hobby a decade ago.

apologist Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Happy Fourth of July battle brothers, a special deathwatch marine to present today! Brother Tex of the Stars of Dorn Awesome! Nice to see the Stars appear again. Lucifer216 has been very busy since 2009 – the Stars are about three or four companies strong (no half measures on Amorica!); but it’s a treat to see them elsewhere too Edited July 19, 2021 by apologist Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370893-deathwatch-marines-of-sentinel-ix/#findComment-5721593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke Frog Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021  Happy Fourth of July battle brothers, a special deathwatch marine to present today! Brother Tex of the Stars of Dorn   Awesome! Nice to see the Stars appear again. Lucifer216 has been very busy since 2009 – the Stars are about three or four companies strong (no half measures on Amorica!); but it’s a treat to see them elsewhere too   Thank you, and thanks so much for the link to his work! Love that chapter and was happy to include them.  Still got more on the painting table, but next month I am hoping to finally purchase a Contemptor; thinking of turning him into a Deathwatch marine formerly of the Inheritors chapter.

Smoke Frog Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 Brother Loch of the Dark Krakens Chapter symbol was painted up in yellow instead of 'canon' white because I thought it looked cooler: Painting blog post here.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Excellent work on the Dark Kraken. As for the color, I'm sure you can justify the different Chapter symbol color by claiming, "The right to wear the Golden Kraken is an honor the Dark Krakens Chapter grants members who perform a great feat of valor, comparable to that which will earn an Astra Militarum guardsman the Star of Terra," or something like that.

Smoke Frog Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Thanks! While I was assuming it could just be a chapter company differentiation, the idea of a heraldic honorific has some merit as well. ~~~ After a long battle with edge highlighting, my Deathwatch Stalker Anti-Aircraft tank is now complete: The tank's stormbolter is manned by Brother Jerref of the Yellowjackets: The tank also can convert to its anti-air missile version, the Hunter: And due to the fealty my watch fortress has to the forgeworld of Ryza, all battle tanks and vehicles used by my Deathwatch marines originate from Ryza and display its colors: Blog post here.

thesilverback Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Great looking. I really like your use of Necron weapons, adds a great feel. I question going with chapter colors on a Deathwatch vehicle, crew yes, but the actual vehicle, I think it should have stayed straight Deathwatch.

Smoke Frog Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thanks all!  Great looking. I really like your use of Necron weapons, adds a great feel. I question going with chapter colors on a Deathwatch vehicle, crew yes, but the actual vehicle, I think it should have stayed straight Deathwatch.  I see your point. As much as most Deathwatch vehicles do look good in standard red-and-black (Duke Danse Macabre has some good ones) I had adopted a green-and-black theme for my own watch fortress. Same reason why all the weapon casings are painted green.  Mostly because I like the color green better than red Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370893-deathwatch-marines-of-sentinel-ix/#findComment-5723900 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke Frog Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Thanks! New kill team member is complete: Brother Xbal of the Brotherhood of the Midnight Sun Mayan-inspired chapter inspired originates from here. His right arm is magnetized so I can swap out the rifle for a mace. The stormshield would not have in-game benefits in 40K, but gives me extra options for kill team. My best attempt at the chapter symbol. Only the center of the transfer actually worked: Bjorn Firewalker 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370893-deathwatch-marines-of-sentinel-ix/#findComment-5725696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke Frog Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Four more marines complete, rounding out my first kill team. Kill Team Burchard, 2nd Company of Watch Fortress Sentinel IX: Rest of the individual photos: Brother Ek Chak of the Blood Drinkers More pictures of all these guys are in my lore and paint blog, as well as the inspiration for the Blood Drinkers chapter symbol. Its has some Aztec-marine and Rogue Trader inspiration. Brother Diodorus of the Minotaurs Brother Rau'ganth of the Salamanders (3rd Company) Chapter symbol is a bit derpy... will probably have to fix it later but its good enough for now. Brother Giles of the Red Templars His transfer is from the old Bretonnian transfer set.
