Here's the next guy up on my plate for my Deathwatch force. He's a Blood Angels Death Company chaplain, currently in the service of the Deathwatch. I'm quite eager to get some paint on him. Tell me what you think. Thanks!

really cool! My only small issue is that he is not super distinguishable as a chaplain, but a really cool scenic base should fix that right up!

Awesome stuff!

It's a cool model,however: no skull helm, no Chaplain.

You can paint the helmet in bone, its still obviously a chaplain.

I was unable to source a skull helm (unfortunately), but since my other chaplain is a converted B@C one, I figured it'd maintain a "standard" to use a crested helm on him. He's got a bit of paint on him right now, and I'll post some finished pics probably tonight or tomorrow.

I don't like the paper on the pad. I personally love the scroll pad but it is defying gravity

The model should look good, it just unfortunately doesn't look like a chaplain. :/ The skull helm is always a good choice, but even a skull motif instead of BA icon motif on the armor would've made it look more chaplain-like.

So, I finished painting this guy, and... I'm totally not happy with it. So, I think I'm gonna throw him in a bucket of something for a strip, and I'm going to start over.

Additionally, I have thought about some of the feedback from this thread, and have decided to make a few alterations. I've chopped the helm off an unused finecast jump pack Chaplain I had around, and I'm going to swap the shoulder pad for a different Death Company one (that's a bit less gravity defying). Perhaps I'll use the the old head on a librarian or something. I need to make a few more of those anyhow.

Thanks for the feedback all, I'll be posting up the alteration in a couple days.
