Endtransmission's Inquisition

[Endtransmission]

Evening all, this hopefully marks the start of my 40k painting blog. This is mainly focussed around a small, but growing Deathwatch and inquisition force based around having fun with kitbashes, sculting and 3d printing to make something interesting and fun to look at. I'm not the biggest player... my last match was probaby some time back in 7th edition. The thought of having to get something up to gaming standards that won't be trounced by local WAAC players is not something that grabs. Hopefully you have some fun, and feel free to offer critique or suggestions as we go!

I need to redo some shoulder pads as I've decided freehand really wasn't the way to go, so I'll try and do some group shots once those are done, but for now lets start with a recently completed project, and a current WIP to get things rolling.

We have Judicar Zakaror, who spent years as part of the Dark Angels chapter, but as part of his recent progression to Chaplain, has been seconded to the Deathwatch to serve as a Judicar. Where better to prove your worth and learn those valuable lessons in serving the Emperor? Here you can see him with his C.A.T.



The base model for our Judicar here was the Lord-Terminos model from the recent Age of Sigmar box, with some marine bits and pieces added into the mix. Eventually we will also have Wolf-Brother Faffnar the Bold joining the watchhouse to guard the domains of mankind. The additions to the dreadnought frame are from GreyTide Studio's Primal Hounds set, along with a Deathwatch shoulder guard. He is being done as part of an Ancients painting challenge on another forum.

Nicely done - I wouldn't have guessed the chaplain was an Age of Sigmar model!

Thanks! It was only after I finished him that I saw other people doing the same thing (to different extents) on Reddit. Some of the new Stormcast will make great Deathwatch, and I'm eyeing up one for my Word Bearers that I will start posting about shortly!

Not completely finished, but three terminators are just about ready to join the Watch. The shoulderpads need fixing and some transfers adding as I got bored of hand painting all of the chapter iconography. I did do a bit of practice on some spare pads and I *think* I now have the curved surfaces all worked out.

The powerfists are all 3d printed as it was easier than trying to carve off the original arms to fit onto the 3d printed deathwatch pads
