I managed to get more done last night, but my computer was being dumb so I could only upload them now.

Here's the Captain done:





And the banner up to where I have it:



Still need some ideas on the banner.

SoG

Here's some pics of what I finished up last night.

Last Command Squad Member





Full Army Shot minus Captain (forgot to add him in)



Something new - a Scout Sergeant with Power Katar (punch daggar)



SoG

Love the punch knife, really cool simple conversion.

The only thing i would change or comment on is maybe make your purple highlights a little darker they are very stark. And take your time a couple of the highlights were a little messy

Overall very nice looking army

The purple on the Captain and last Sternguard are a bit messy I admit. I needed them finished for today and started them friday night, so I didn't have long and mostly wanted them done. I do plan on going back and fixing the highlights/touching up stuff and cleaning up the lines.

Managed to get a bit more done.

Assault Squad Sergeant minus jump pack



Replacement Sergeant - will have old sergeant backpack and arm



SoG

I finished the Assault Marine Sergeant today and started on some Sternguard.

Sergeant:


Exorcists Deathwatch Sternguard:




I'd like to go with older marked armour for this one squad but I'm not convinced about the head on this particular model. I might switch it out for a bare head.

I plan to have a couple squads of Deathwatch Sternguard and having a theme in the squads themselves, possibly having an Emperor's Word marine leading each squad. I'd like to have one squad based on Badab War chapters and the other on Third War for Armageddon chapters.

So far for the Badab Marines I have: Mantis Warriors, Lamenters, Executioners, Space Sharks, Star Phantoms, Red Scorpions, and Exorcists. I realize that some of them fought on opposite sides, but I figure it'll make for a good rivalry or something in the squad.

And for the Armageddon Marines I have: Sons of Guilliman (a little homage to my other marines), Angels Porphyr, Blood Angels, and Mortifactors.

In both cases, I need more members and modular pads to represent the other chapters. Help on this would be appreciated, even in just saying which set has which pad.

SoG

I have a couple inquisitor pads kicking around I won't need, the ones from the command squad... btw i needed the right claw not the left lol

Oh I also have some ravenwing pads kicking around if you need some to convert..

@Twalks: I could use all of those pads.

I've done some more work on the banner, and painted up some alternate arms for the dreadnought.

Banner:


Dread:




Also made some pads for the Deathwatch.

Sons of Guilliman, Storm Giants, Blood Angels, Space Sharks, WIP Storm Lords

I should have more stuff done for tomorrow. I also needs some ideas on what to put on the banner in the bottom empty spot.

SoG

Got a few more pads finished.


Angels of Fire, Mantis Warriors/Executioners/Lamenters, Star Phantoms/Angels Porphyr, Iron Champions, Celebrants

And found a new head for the Exorcist marine.



SoG

Here's what I've done on the banner. The skull head has since been fixed to have less teeth, and generally improved I think. I think it's done for now but I might add something under the eagle/owl.



And here's a rough MS Paint version of the campaign badge in case it's not clear.



I hope to have some painting done tomorrow.

SoG

I was fairly busy last night. Managed to get a few things done.

More Pads

Might scrap the last one though

Scout Sergeant - Looks kind of like Elvis, I think.


Exorcists Deathwatch Marine




SoG

Love your deathwatch stuff man, great work on the pads!

Thanks Sanchez01.

This is what I did last night.

Finished the terminators - don't think I showed the heavy flamer before


Vanguard Pads


Vanguard with the pads




I think I need to shorten the pads to the size of a regular one. Right now they're a couple mm bigger.

Mortifactor Deathwatch Marine


Khrangar

How did you make the shoulder pads? They look great.

The shoulder pads were made with the rims of the CSM pad either the crux terminatus pad or the skull eagle one. Cut off the rim from the CSM pad, remove the rim and about another rims worth from the other pad, glue together, and gs any gaps.

I redid the shoulder pads for the Vanguard and I am much more pleased with them. Now they are the same size as regular pads.

First 4 Vanguard




WIP Shrike


Hope to have these Vanguard primed tomorrow and finish off converting Shrike. I need to integrate the cables into the shoulder pads and give him some soft armour still.

Captain

This is great. I had a similar plan to use the back and legs from the AoBR captain but wasn't sure how to solve the problem with his legs. I am stealing your idea.

@keezus: Go right ahead.

I made a few more Vanguard and another Sternguard in addition to fixing up Shrike.

Vanguard


Shrike - GSed the cables to the pads


Sternguard - He'll probably be a Star Phantom.


SoG

What are you using for shrikes lightning claws?

love what your doing honestly my only question is are you going to base the army?

I love your painting scheme and can't wait to seee how you go about painting the deathwatch squad. In fact your deathwatch marines have really inspired me to try and make some of my own Thanks

Great looking army .

@Cheif Librarian Vaako: The claws are from the Space Wolf Captain released a little while ago.

@Empchild: I'll base them once the army's done so I can buy resin bases and use those.

@Dannijt and slann: Thanks guys.

Small update today.

Deathwatch Marines

Mantis Warrior, Executioner, Red Scorpion

Combi-Weapons


SoG

Very impressive army.

Where did you get that Exorcist shoulder pad?

@H.B.M.C.: I converted it using a Skeleton Skull and a set of horns from the old Chaos Mutation Sprue. I salvaged it from a librarian model I did a while back. Luckily, they're the same symbol.

Yet more Deathwatch Sternguard. Not very exciting I admit but I'm working on more pads, so hopefully they'll be done tomorrow.



SoG

I took a good a group pic of the Sternguard. Three of them have Combi-Plasmas in the pic, but they won't when the unit is painted. They're just there now because the second unit will have them and I need the combi-weapons for a game on Sunday.



Part of the Second Squad. These are the 3rd War for Armageddon Deathwatch.


Not sure about the first two models, but the last will be from the Iron Champions.

More WIP Pads:


Sons of Medusa, Marines Errant, Fire Angels, Fire Hawks

Still lots more to be done.

SoG

I ran out of legs for the sternguard so I have to put them on hold until I can get some more.

Here's a squad sergeant for my second Assault Marine squad that has yet to be built:


Again with his squad I am missing legs, so I'll either get some or get an Assault Marine box.

Obligatory pet picture:


His name is Tobi and he's a corgi cross.

SoG

Not really an update so much as a 'What I have to do' post. I just want to make sure I remember all that's left.

To Paint:
4 Terminators
9 Vanguard
14 Sternguard
2 full and 2 partial Assault Marines
Assault Marine Sergeant
Shrike Counts-as

To Build/Paint:
6 Sternguard (need legs)
10+ Sternguard Bolters
Kor'sarro Khan Counts-as (need bitz - low priority)

To Get:
Rhinos/Razorbacks
Land Raider
Vindicator? - how have these faired in games?

I think that's everything for now.

SoG

Small update today, but it's an update none the less.

I received a wonderful bike conversion kit in the mail today from a generous individual on another forum. Having already bought the bike needed for the conversion, I set to work. As of now here's now it stands:



I still need to add the side wings to the bike and build the Kor'sarro Khan counts as, but it's a start. I'm thinking of making the model in Mk6 armour. I've also acquired a Flesh Tearers shoulder pad to use on my Deathwatch.

SoG

Get crackin man I wanna see some awesome stuff for games when I get back in town. Specially the rest of the sternguard and vanguard.

agreed, I'm loving the deathwatch. keep it coming! I need to steal your ideas.

I love the colour scheme! Maybe a whole army shot?
