BadOmen Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Great looking DeathWatch. :P Love how each model has its own icons and heraldry to represent its chapter. :wacko: Wish I had put more thought into my DW. I only done White Scar, Dark Angel, Crimson Fist, Imperial Fist and Ultramarine who carried the heavybolter. About time I took them back to the paintbrush, near 5 years since i done them.

ironloki Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Lovely models. Whats the head being used on the Salamander? Looks very funky. Also liked the Scythes of the Emperor marine. Got a love for scythes myself. Was it tricky to convert or did it slide right in (The scythe weapon that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM Dante Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Now I know who has all the grenades....! :wacko: Nice use of a variety of parts to really individualise each member. That grief bringer looks like he could cause a world of hurt! Looking forward to seeing them painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Q- Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Nice work. Need more/better pics of that Librarian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperion Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thanks for the replies. The Salamander head came from the old Bretonnian Knights of the Realm Sprue 1, and the loincloth is a cut down version of Malus Darkblade's cloak. The Salamander is probably my favourite, because I originally wanted to do a Salamander army but got frustrated by the conversion difficulties (I wanted them all to look like the IA article!) - this guy is the closest I've come to a Salamander that looks the way I think it should! The brazier represents a Promethean Cult honour BTW. ;) The Scythe was a bit too long and needed a small section removed and then pinned back together to fit. The hands are also a bit large and needed a little filing - they're not the neatest, but I'm hoping that won't be too noticeable when painted. The Grief Bringer was inspired by the old story in Deathwing (although the marine with the meltabomb in that story died and I kinda figured his successors wouldn't want to make the same mistake, so they carry lots of spares!). More Librarian pics - as requested: I wish I'd known about Dragonforge's pewter cables! These are guitar string and were an absolute nightmare to work with! I figured the book and pouch looked quite good for a psyker, and the Inquisition lock came from the Cherubael sprue. It wasn't til I'd finished everything else that I realised his cloak was folding the opposite way to his loincloth and banner, so I melted it with matches ...and then had to repair the backpack!!! Oops. :D Another thing to be concealed with black paint. I've also got a pic of the back of the Captain - not the biggest cloak, but I thought the fur fitted the fluff (the Imperial Fist Captain visiting the Tau pic): and my Heavy Bolter marines (Skull Bearer and Death Strike): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santoro Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 The originality on each of those marines will surely make them stand out, i mean, now you clearly see that the Scythe of the Emperor IS a Scythe of the Emperor, 'sides that schyte is probably a good thing to use in vicinity of a zerg.. i mean tyranid. And that 'nade guy.. woha, i wouldn't like to be standing next to him. .. the only problem i can see is that i cant see any problems with them.. i'll have to report in later for the downers :D anyways :D on the marines, now git to painin'. - Santoro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Very nice work on converting up the DW Kill Team, the extra touches on each marine really give each one a strong theme while maintaining the squad based theme. Very well done, looking forward to seeing them painted ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyRecon Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 That scythes of the emperor marine is about one of the coolest things i have seen in a long time. Can we have more pics? Keep it up! -DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moribund the Burgermeister Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Those are truly awesome! Gret work making each marine independant and coherent with his Chapter! ;) One question though: Where's the cloak on the Captain from? It would look great on my Aspiring Champion for my LatD! I need it, I love it! :blush: Cheers; Moribund! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousFerret Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Absolutely Awesome! you really bring out their individuality as members of different Chapters yet tie them together with =I= insignia. well done! I imagine they will look even more coherent when painted. Ooh, could we get some close-ups on the Captain? Pretty please? :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperion Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 @Moribund - it's "Korhil's Cloak" Hunter Captain of the White Loins ("that's Lions!") in the High Elf range. And now for more pics of the Scythe: and the Captain: Here's some pics of my Ordo Xenos WIP army so far: This is the Vindicare at the back: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 the conversions look excellent so far, theres really not much else for me to say really :D Starks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychologic Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 The =][= Symbol on your Captain's banner looks awesome. Did you use the Forge World symbols? And how did you get it to fit properly in and over the banner's folds? Heat it up a bit and bend it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solamus Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Very nice conversions. Are the bionic legs on the Scythe of the Emperor marine taken (one each) from IH and UM Tyranid hunter models? Or are they a pair from something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellChyld Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Are the bionic legs on the Scythe of the Emperor marine taken (one each) from IH and UM Tyranid hunter models?

FuriousFerret Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 as far as I can make out, the Scythes marine's bionic legs are in fact made out of TWO sets of bionic legs: his left leg is the bionic lower leg from an Ultramarine Tyranid Hunter LINK, while his right leg (and possibly the seat of his armored pants as well as his left thigh - I can't make that out) is an Iron Hands bionic leg LINK2 :wub: if only I could muster so much attention to detail when I'm trying to study! :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperion Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 More replies! B) The banner symbols are from Forgeworld's brass etch sheet. I didn't need to heat it - I just bent it gently with GW pliers. The banner has a main fold running vertically, so it's not too complex ...thankfully. The Scythe's legs are indeed the IH bionic legs with the Ultra 'nid Hunter left lower leg (the join is just above the knee). With all the different bits on him, he ain't cheap! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
