I have a thing for red bolters now. They look so much better than black ones to me now.

Marine's looking good!

3rd marine fall in! This is my attempt at building an infernos hvy bolter, what do you think?

Looks good.

EDC

Very nice! the Infernus bolter works very nicely as a Heresy substitute.

Looks awesome!

After having done weathering on my MKIII Word Bearers, I think you did a bit of a better job

Sterling stuff, its nice to see the return of the red bolter casing.
How are you doing the combat blades? They look quite different to the default ones in Calth and Prospero.

@ EDC and Justerin thanks for the input, greatly appreciated. I almost tore the whole thing apart last night thinking it did not look quite right. Will post a pic soon of how the painting is coming along.

@Gummy my weathering is mostly sponge chipping with light wash of Agrax Earthshade. I took a look at your weathering and thought it looked great.

@Daemonjellybaby the combat blade is a small conversion using the blade from the Aspiring Champion and then gluing it to the hilt of the combat blade in the Calth box. Wish I had more of them to convert with.

I like the old-school flamer nozzle on that marine. Nice find

Ah ok, thanks for that.
I think the DE executioner kit has some similar curved blades if you're looking for more.

Looks fine to me. Just add a gas container to make it extra obvious it is a flamer.

Update on my 3rd deathwatch member.
@Warboss Dakka there is a small canister attached, last picture it may have been hard to see.

That's seriously beefy armor.

That guy's looking massive, quite suitable for a heavy

3rd DW done, ready to roast some Xenos. Can you feel the burn?

Nice and clean . I'd suggest some scorching around the flamer nozzle - or some more if you already did . Does the kneepad make him an iron warrior?

Ahh, I see the canister now. That's one beefy dude, looks awesome! The weathering is great, well done Yorkright.

Looks great Yorkright. Just the right amount of damage & weathering.

Thanks guys, working on the next marine. @Commissar do I need to give it a blue wash?

Blue wash, then a black/brone drybrush for the nozzle does wonders. If you have weathering powders, does are also brilliant for adding a nice burnt crust

He has a... "NOW what are they doing?!" kind of look.

@ Commissar, how does this look?

Looks a lot better to me Maybe a teensie bit of blue wash near the back, but that's me nitpicking. Lovely work!

It's easier to show burn marks on a bronze nozzle. Blues and purples are good for heat damage.

Thanks guys for the CC very helpful! It does look much better hopefully I will remember it when I paint up my next flame thrower.

You're welcome . It's one of the strengths of dakka to me: constructive feedback and good suggestions. Try and get MajorTom11 in your thread, he's tremendous help when it comes to learning new techniques.

4th Marine done, really like how the sword turned out, tried a few new things with his face. Purple base then built up the flesh tones went back with a purple wash then some reiksland flesh wash to finish. CC always appreciated. Next up is the last Deathwatch member, will post up some pics of him soon.

Thanks for stopping by.

That's a really nice blend on the sword.

Looks great. I see he brought his angry eyes!

@ Warboss_Waaazag thank you, it was airbrushed using a metallic blue then blending up to the silver.

@Graven, lol he does look angry, or as Gitz said a bit surprised!
