Hey everyone

[FreemanIrwin42]

New here but not new to the lore, been into Warhammer 40K for a while now, mostly through the books and video games (Dawn of War still slaps). Finally decided it’s time to take the plunge into the tabletop side of things.

Currently building a small Deathwatch force, I like the elite vibe and the whole “best of the best” idea. Still figuring out loadouts and paint schemes, so any advice is welcome.

Also lowkey tempted by Chaos Knights… but trying to stay focused

Looking forward to learning from you all and hopefully contributing back once I know what I’m doing. For the Emperor

Welcome to the B&C, @FreemanIrwin42! 

 

Deathwatch info can be found here along with all the other Adeptus Astartes. Deathwatch can be fun and unique.

Staying focused when building an army is difficult. Like an ostrich in a jewelry store it is easy to get distracted. (Trust me, I bought a bunch of Stormcast Eternals for WarCry, because I thought they looked cool... and no one plays WarCry here. )

 

For Deathwatch, fortunately, the black and silver arm paint scheme is pretty easy... but you can go wild with all the other modeling. 

 

You can have Space Wolves decked out in Wolf-Tail talismans standing shoulder to shoulder with robed Dark Angels. It makes the army more fun to build and paint as you don't get bored building the same style of model over and over.

 

I do recommend putting together an army list before you start buying a bunch of models. It will save you some heartache,  as some models are really cool looking, but aren’t that great (or fun to play with).

 

Plus, you can post the list online and get some feedback.
