Here is my first batch of Deathwing.

The 5 Terminators here all were stripped of an old (awful and thick) paintjob so they are a bit rough.
I think I've learned a lot painting them however and I'm glad I put the effort into reviving them.

The Dreadnought and everything else I've got W.I.P right now are all new.

I'm also working on a second squad with Thunder Hammers and a Cyclone Missile Launcher, Belial, a Terminator Chaplain, Apothecary and Standard Bearer at the moment.

C&C welcome!

**Joske De Veteraan**

they look great actually.. especially the dread is awesome..

**Popsicle**

Nice!

Any chance of a step-by-step on how they're painted?

**crimsonfist832**

Good Lord!!!!
These make me like the Dark Angels, lol, nice job

**Killmaimburnkillmaimburn**

Very nice, love the dread I don't think I have seen a Deathwing dread like that before but it looks amazing.

**shingouki**

VERY COOL.the plasma weapon on the dread is sick,you have done a really good job on all the models imo but i think you need to break up the chest area on the dread with some other colour,it looks a little sparse.

**Arakasi**

Rough? I think not! Very neat. Look forward to more!

**Necroagogo**

Those are really, REALLY good. The colour of the armour is just superb.

Great work

**eledamris**

That dreadnought deserves a high five. Deathwing indeed.

I can't post a full on picture tutorial atm but the main things:

Bone armour:

dheneb stone
gryphonne sephia wash, twice* (not 2 layers, once the right way up and once upside down to get areas you missed)
carefully drybrush dheneb stone
wash sephia back in recesses if drybrush got in there

*this was more important for the dreadnought than the terminators

Skin:

tallarn flesh
liche purple wash, 5-6 parts water to paint*
tallarn flesh again
elf flesh
bleached bone

* stolen from awesomepaintjob.com, would of never occurred to me otherwise!

Yeah I agree, the panels I chose for the centre peice don't offer a lot.
I potentially could paint the "pillar" things gold? But there's a lot of that colour already.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very appreciative

**Retrias**

Where do you got the Hood head for the terminator?

Maybe paint inside the pillars Red

This has nothing to do with my slight obsession with the BA's but it would work well as a spot colour as you've already used it on the Terms!

Oh yeah, and they do look amazing! Rest assured I will be stealing your skin method and if I ever do more DA's I shall use (steal) your armour method! Keep up the great work!

**Bavers**

i like the paint job, im working on my new space marine chapter called the fire foxes

**Bramnero**

The first Deathwing Termie is my favourite, its actually stunningly awesome.

**Alex80591**

Looks awesome! Especially like the hood.

**Cottonjaw**

The face under the hood looks fantastic. Great shading!

**D.Smith**

That dreadnought makes me want to make one like it! very nice

Dan

**Popsicle**

Thanks for the step-by-step. Any chance of a tutorial video? Just so we can see exactly how the washes are applied, etc., for the shading and whatnot.

Nope, dont have a setup for that but I took some WIP shots as I painted my Apothecary:

And here are some older minis I painted but did a once ever recently in attempt to bring them up to standard.

New base for this Librarian, to match the Deathwing.

And my 8th co. master

**revackey**

Amazing. I've been looking for a good tutorial on that armor, and you sir have nailed it IMO!

**bushido**

These look very nice. I feel like their bone white armor could look even better if you picked out some of the edges with a thin highlight (similar to the way the green of the dreadnought's gun looks).

**Pedro Kantor**

Great work.I have always loved the Deathwing and these minis are really good,especially the Dread.

**Astelan**

Just a small update:

Wasn't 100% satisfied with my Apothecary so I added more white elements to him. Unforunately my photo set up means white reflects something awful but I added a different light sample to try show the real colour.

C&C welcome!

**rubirub**

wow

really nice deathwing models
the venerable dread looks amazing

great job

**niallkissick**

How did you do the apothecary arm for your termie? it looks boss!!! Nicely painted troops!!!

**whalemusic360**

Its the dude from Space Hulk.

**Nalyd**

Very nice work!
