Great attention to detail Knightley. Everything is very well done, and all aspects of detail are accounted for. Well done!

**inmygravenimage**

Bloody squiggly, that is.

**ZergSmasher**

Love what you did with the BA guy. It's always nice to see a mini I've done before be painted by someone with greater skill; it gives me something to aspire to!

**d00mspire**

Awesome model!

**Knightley**

@Justaerin - Its not bad, I think that if it were my model I might do something a little different, but for a commission it should be fine

@EDC - As a purveyor of painting I applaud your approval!

@WarbossDakka - you say that.... I note some items which I could have done more, however, due to time constraints I wanted to get this guy done and dusted

@Graven - Bloody well ain't it cobber (I have no idea what I just wrote)

@Zerg - Always happy to inspire fellow painters, there are so many who have done it for me

@d00m - Thanks man

Update: Next up is the spacewolf, only the 5 man squad left to do!

**Januine**

Gorgeous work on Antorn. He's looking the business

**Knightley**

Thank Januine, I really should learn their names it would make posting about them a little more personal.

Update: Antorn done

, cell pics followed by better pics

Better pics

**WarbossDakka**

Very nice Knightly, I think he has more squiggles than normal. Others should be jealous!

Well done!

**d00mspire**

I get more and more envious everytime I see your spectacular models!

**ZergSmasher**

The Space Wolf guy looks great! His name is Drenn Redblade, BTW, not Antorn. I think you got him confused for Antor Delassio, the Blood Angel guy. It's tough to keep all those names straight!

**Mad..**

I can see why he isn't wearing his helmet, don't want to mess up a hair do like that!

Excellent work, squad is going to look awesome all together!

**Knightley**

@WarbossDakka - I wonder what level of jealousy would be if I covered a complete model in squiggles

@d00m - You're far to kind!

@Zerg - Ah, I had no idea what it was, my mistake, whats the Dark Angel guys name?

@Mad - Thanks for the game, I hope they look great as a unit

Update: Had a great game vs Mad today, he'll put a mini-rep, lots of swings and round abouts on it. Got some more paint onto the Dark Angel including a wash

**WarbossDakka**

Nice model the Dark Angel. Anything special planned for him?

Also I think a lot of people would pay good money for a squiggle marine. I'm just sayin'.

**Azazelx**

Beautiful work on all of these Deathwatch guys. I especially like the fine freehand writing.

**Knightley**

@WarbossDakka - See below

@Azazelx - Thank you!

Update: Finished the Dark Angel! Phone pic, then proper pics

Proper

**d00mspire**

Very nice!

**ZergSmasher**

The Dark Angel marine's name is Zameon Gydrael. And he looks really good as painted by you! Painting the robe green is an interesting choice, although I do see that you got the more traditional off-white on the inside (a nice touch).

**WarbossDakka**

The green is nice and vibrant, well done.

**inmygravenimage**

Damn that's lovely and rich.

**Knightley**

@d00m - Thank you!

@Zerg - His name is Robert Paulson (Fight Club throw back) and yeah I had considered doing a bone cloak, but the over all look for the Deathwatch is dark, so I opted for a darker outside with the throwback inside.

@WarbossDakka - Cheers

@Graven - Thanks mate!

Update: On to the Ultramarine now (waiting for ZergSmasher to fill me in on his name

)

**ZergSmasher**

Okay, Knightley, here's the names of the whole squad:
Ultramarines Chaplain: Ortan Cassius
Blood Ravens Librarian: Jensus Natorian
Ultramarines Sergeant: Vael Donatus
Dark Angels Marine: Zameon Gydrael
Space Wolves Marine: Drenn Redblade
Iron Hands Marine: Ennox Sorrlock
Imperial Fists Marine: Rodricus Grytt
Salamanders Terminator: Garran Branatar
Blood Angels Vanguard Veteran: Antor Delassio
Raven Guard Vanguard Veteran: Edryc Setorax
White Scars Biker: Jetek Suberei
I must be a total nerd, I named all of them from memory...

All of them you've done so far look great Knightley, I look forward to some shots of the whole squad when they're all done!

**evildrcheese**

Lovely work on the Space Wolf and Dark Angel.

I really like the freehand (and squiggles) on the Space wolf's chapter should pad.

EDC

**Gitsplitta**

Good heavens, you finished two different models since the last time I checked in... both brilliantly I might add!

**WarbossDakka**

The blue is looking good. This guy is definitely my least favourite out the bunch, not much going on model wise IMO.

Must be getting close to the finish line now!

**d00mspire**

Nice work Knightley!

**Knightley**

@Zerg - Cheers mate, thats very useful I'll update my newer posts with the new names

@EDC - Thanks, I was debating over to include squiggles, but the crowd demanded blood (or squiggles)

@Gits - Trying to speed up the commission work and its a marine very two days or so, not many left.

@WarbossDakka - Yeah, he's like a generic spacemarine basically, he has come cool additions but over all very static. Not many left now.

@d00m - Thank you!

Update: Vael done, thanks to Zerg for the names. Phone pics then proper pics

Proper

**WarbossDakka**

Like the green on the helmet. Lens also very nicely done. Great job.

**Januine**

Superb. Could be your best yet. Really nice smooth job

**Nevelon**

Mmmm... Ultramarine....

**Gitsplitta**

Beautiful work Knightley.
