Good evening

I've been playing warhammer and 40k for quite some time now,
and finally got infested (like so many before me) by the illusion that I have to play some kind of space marines...

About the same time I downloaded an Inquisition compendium,
to look for a way to beat that insanly overpowerd army and found some fan made rules for the Deathwatch.
I was so amazed by artistic possibilities that army offered so that I decided to start one my own.

After reading through tons of Warhammer fluff, I finally planned out my army and began to model.

So, long story short, here it is, the WIP of my first Deathwatch Killteam.




The first two guys are allmost finished (might clean them up a bit if needed)







The Chaplain is nearlly done, needs one or two more steps of greenstuff and some cleaning




And the 4th guy with his heavy flamer, more an early wip, still undecided what details he's missing





Last but not least a really raelly early wip for the sargent




You may have noticed that they all wear the same shoulder pad.
It is still WIP and will be casted for all the models once it's finished.

The bases will be some mud covered battlefield where the IG stood it's ground (or not so much) against a tyranid infestation.
However I'm missing some vital ingredients for the mud atm.


So, I hope I can update that thread quite regularly^^
however don't get used to those nice fotos there, I won't set them up for ever little wip shot XD

oh, and just a little spoiler of what's to come in the future

Wow love your green stuff work. Some nice thought out conversions. Cant wait to see them with paint.

It was about time you post this to the public buddy.
I did not know that you do your 40k stuff on this high level.

I hope to see you online soon to play that nice 40K with Andre and me.

Hey nice work! Do you know that there is a gaming club in Stuttgart?

Cheers

near hauptbahnhof?
heard about it, yes.
can you send me the exact adress, might visit you some time

@wi-ta
hehe^^
nice to see you here too
sure, just have to find some time where I'm not modelling those guys there XD

Ok the pm is away ^^. Would be nice to see each others modelling work in person .

Nice to see you finaly posted these.

Looking forward to seeing more of these excellent costum made guys

A small update on the chaplain hand, I just really like how it turned out



and my Sergeant in progress



with secondary weaponry

Are you press molding the shoulder pads?

Lookin' good so far!
Color me interested

color will come when all 5 are modeled


no I'm not press molding right now, but will probably do once I'm happy with the original shoulder pad.

those are really cool models, are you making each from a different chapter?

and where are the rules you found?

thanks


the fanmade codex?
here:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/31467113/Warhammer-40-000-Codex-Inquisition

very cool.

Those shoulderpads are all individually hand done? Wow, crazy skill there man!

The sarge looks great. Your GS skills are truly impressive.

And if you want to play in regular 40K (tourneys, club gaming etc.), just using Sternguard and/or vets rules will be both great for DW and a decent match for Grey Knights.

Sure, the Knights are powerful. But ammo that pierces their armor outright (Sternguard's vengeance rounds) and plasma/melta weaponry will take them out really easily. I massacred two full armies of Grey Knights at a tourney last weekend by sticking to an attrition strategy, shooting them up as much as possible before engaging in close combat. They just don't have the numbers to weather a whole bunch of shooting. So Sternguard accompanied by some transport-killing units should do you pretty well.

Everything hand made there.

Yup, had that in mind with the sternguard.^^

Well, problem with grey knights is that I play tau as my main army, and ap3 weapons are kinda rare for them... >.<
My ap2 are to expensive and my ap1 only kill 3 knights max a turn.
So it's allmost certain that they come close, and yea we all know what hapens to tau once you them in close combat XD

Space marines can cope with everything however, that's true.^^

Looking good sofar and that codex is pretty neat

And a rather small update for that weekend, but I thought it's worth sharing.

Feathers



and church

its looking good!

how large will this army be?

Realy digging how that shoulder pad turned out.

Indeed. What tools do you use to sculpt the greenstuff?

thanks

Mostely I use a bunch of dentist tools there.
Sometimes some homemade tools out of wire (for those really fine details or shapes that I can't sculpt with the others)

Do want! Very nice GS skills.

Amazing GS work! Really loving the Sargent!

Holy hand grenades batman! That's some serious sculpting work! :-) Nice stuff IPS.

Progress for this week, much time consuming detail work...

Boltpistol and Chainsword


Somebody overcompensating for something


The mighty sword and some powerfisting


And last but not least a simple bolter

Looks nice! though i dont like that bolter on the DA's arm

Not much progress this week.

However I started to build my first Landspeeder.
Everything nicely magnetized.

Pretty nice Green Stuff work, especially the feathers on the helmet. Looking forward to see more of it, perhaps the Land Speeder would benefit from some ornamentation.

Thanks!
Don't worry, there will be quite some ornaments on that landspeeder
+ some other conversions (like the co driver hitting someone with his chainsword ).
