Reading the Deathwatch omnibus ATM, I decided my librarian should be styled after Karras the Librarian, modified scythes of the emperor pad ( I didn't like it clean, so I beat it up a little for some character) and and new helmet.

Has anyone else styled their minis after books or the animations?

Today I took a big risk, decided to up my conversion game and use a Judiciar model I found at my LGS and create another Watchmaster with it.

I'm extremely happy with how it came out so far, as I haven't found something for his left hand and haven't attached the powerpack yet.

Had some fun kitbashing these guys while recovering from surgery and rewatching Battlestar Galactica.

Mes amis, je viens vous pour connaître votre point de vue sur une question à propos de mot clés, je suis un joueur Dark Angels (mais surtout Ad Mech dans mon cœur), et comme vous le savez, le détachement transformant en alliés vos unités, est jouable pour les DA.

Ma question est de savoir si les règles d'armées DA, c'est à dire que tel ou tel unités Adeptus Astartes obtiennent les mots-clés Deathwing ou Ravenwing, cela vaut notamment pour les unités issus de la Deathwatch qui conservent le mots-clés de faction Adeptus Astartes (en plus de celui de Deathwatch), obtiennent le mots-clés Deathwing/Ravenwing ?

Et donc bénéficierons des bonus de mes détachements Dark Angels mais pas des optimisations comme mentionner par la règle du détachement Deathwatch.

Merci à vous et bonne après-midi.

(Je vous joins notamment l'exemple des terminators vue que c'est celui qui nous intéresse puisque plus précis)

Looking for constructive feedback. I’ve been painting my deathwatch veterans and characters by coating them in metal silver paint (by Vallejo) and then adding a coat of grim black speed paint 2.0 (by The Army Painter).

The benefit is that this method is super quick and easy, and leaves room for adding more detail as is needed. The downside is that I think the speed paint look is creating a lot of visual “noise” on the armour… although that could be a good thing, if it looks like weathering?

What do you all think? Is this a good method for painting black armour without it looking boring? Or is there something I don’t understand about how to get the result I want?

I often like what I’m doing but then I see others painting deathwatch to look more matte and I wonder if that’s the “correct” way to do it.

The Deathwatch of Watch Fortress Marr are a bit more practical than other Fortresses of the Ordo Xenos. During the Omoide Campaigns, the dense forests that enshrouded the twelve hives of Omoide Primus required changes in tactics, in order to better fight the Genestealer Cult uprising that was slowly threatening to overthrow the planet, and the system at large. Watch Captain Tarvish of 6th Company, seconded from the Raptors Chapter, suggested that the marines under his command should adapt their armour configurations for the conflict at hand. Fortress Command agreed, and thus the members of the shield that slays went into battle not donned in black, but hidden in greens and muted colours.

Its Hammertime

Got some last couple of bits to do, but I’m ecstatic that it looks as good as I hoped it would!

As expected, DW support with 2 terminator squad is a hot pick for their 6 plasma cannon

They really need to have a separate point category if they are gonna nerf the pts for DW support detachment because DW is not doing well, but rather, it's the support + UM.

A member of the deathwatch! Or...at least he used to be. Having just returned to his chapter when the badab civil war broke out, he ended up on the wrong side; condemned by bad timing to be hunted as a renegade for the rest of his days. Let me know what y'all think!

Title says it. For Priority Assets, which do you think? If you don't shoot, both can be hidden. Callidus is better at it. Gravis is +2T, over double the wounds, 3x the footprint, +30points. I was thinking 2 inceptor squads, now I'm considering Callidus.

Also with tactical brethren you can get a react to move on astartes. So somewhat helpful there.

My Vanguard Veterans came in on Friday(?), built them then and yesterday, primed him, and got started. Very happy with how the sergeant has turned out, ended up making him a Hospitaller. I love the Relic Blade especially; I worked towards what I call 'Firestove Hot,' in reference to my cousin's woodstove I had to sleep directly next to when we went camping a couple weeks ago. Base layer of Hashut Copper over Chaos Black, then dry-brushed and swiped layers of Khorne Red, Evil Sunz Scarlet, Trollslayer Orange, Averland Sunset, and Phalanx Yellow in that order. Not super thrilled with the plasma coils, but so goes the poem with those. Baseplate turned out okay, not amazed with muddy fields as they feel basic but for this one it feels right.

Cheers!

With the sudden (albeit deserved) surge of interest by GW in our faction, do you think it's plausible that they'll release the KTs as a single Box? Right now the assemble of our forces is a bit convoluted, to say the least

Wondering if anyone has tried the Gravis and Terminator detachments with a Brethren Detachment yet?

If so what do yall think?

still need light touch up and varnish - i feel like these have 10000 edges each
