After about 2 1/2 years in the local german tournament circuit i'l finally attend to my first 2-day event: Throne of Skulls by GW Germany in the famous "Drakenburg" in Duesseldorf.
Instead of rebuilding or changing my regular CSM-Army to a more competitive list than i usually field (mono-nurgle, 2-3 Dreadnoughts, less than 3 Oblits) i decided to rebuild my Deathwing-Army to benefit from the changes that came along with the last Rules-FAQ.
It took some time, especially because i decided to field (and subsequently hunt & buy from ebay) only old metal miniatures.
The prices for TH/SS Terminators were very high and my girlfriend bought a nice and shiny new venerable Cybot for my birthday, so my initial pure infantry list went down the drain for some Dreddie-goodness.

Here is the list i am going to use:

Belial with TH/SS

Venerable Cybot with SyncLaser, additional armour
Venerable Cybot with SynLaser, Rocketlauncher

5 Deathwing-Terminators with Assault Cannon, 1x Claws, Apothecary with TH/SS, Standard Bearer with TH/SS, 1x TH/SS
5 Deathwing-Terminators with Cyclone, 2x Claws, 3x TH/SS
5 Deathwing-Terminators with Cyclone, 2x Claws, 3x TH/SS
5 Deathwing-Terminators with Cyclone, 1x Claws, 3x TH/SS, 1x SB + Chainfist

Maybe not the perfect loadout, but i already got 3rd place with'em in a local tournament *yay!*

So without further ado - here are the pictures:


The whole 1500 pts army


Belial (Lysander conversion)


Venerable Cybot (plastic)


Venerable Cybot (metal)


Deathwing Squad with Cyclone, Claws, TH/SS


Squad 2, same loadout as above



Squad 3 with a nifty little chainfist


Belials personal guard, with oldschool banner, Apothecary (from the red cross^^) and my beloved Assaultcannon (simply love that weapon)

I know this army isn't very competitive, but it's a lot of fun to play and gives lots of opportunities for heroic stories and feats (cyclone from Squad 2 survived over 10 rounds of melee with the Avatar of Khaine!).

Battle reports soon to come, i'll be posting a report when the event is over (21. and 22. May) and soon i'll take pictures of my other Deathwing related stuff (got lotsa termies in a big toolbox) - so stay tuned for more!

Very nice, really like the green power weapons/claws

Nice work! I love those old skool mini's you know. I particularly like the bright green lightning claws.
And that Belial mini is superb!

Very good job on the off-white.

Aww man, you're all giving me too much credit for my paintjob *blush* I used army painter primer "bone white", inked everything with gryphonne sepia and finally a careful drybrushing with vallejo white...
It looks good on the tabletop but is merely a tabletop quality paintjob.

The reasons why i started a deathwing army in the first place where that i love terminators and had bought some old space hulk 1st edition plastic terminators on ebay...that's how it began (will probably show all my other termies soon in this thread). So i keep including more and more oldschool miniatures into this army (bought another metal dreadnought just today).
