so managed to build some of the new Deathwing Knights;

Banner bearer;



Assault cannons;





Chapter Champion, sorry this ones a bit blurry!



Missile launcher;



Serg, sorry a bit blurry again;





Apothecary;





Been seriously busy with the baby so this feels like a real achievement!

It IS a serious achievement, they look great!

hmmm...i may kit bash my 4ed termies too.... there a bit small :(

They look fine with a bit of kit bashing, I'm sure once I have painted them you won't even notice!

Are those the metal ones, or just the first plastics?

Those Dark Angels are looking great.

Mainly the first plastics but the cyclone missile launcher is an AOBR plastic.

I am afraid there are no pics to accompany this update but I have been busy! I am nearly finished making the models for this years 40k squad Golden Demon entry! I am doing the Nurgle terminators from forge world. They have turned into probably the most expensive squad I have ever made but it will be worth it, lets just say they are all resin from Forge World, legs, arms and weapons. I have been buying a bit more Dark Angels stuff too and building that, a Nephlim fighter is now pretty much made but not painted. I also bought a huge Ork army off Ebay so that is another possible you might see a few bits from on here, but my ork codex hasn't arrived yet so not sure how to go with it! Any suggestions for an Ork 1850 pts tournament army would be gladly received, I have started a thread in the 40k armies forum if you feel it is more appropriate to respond there!

Well that's it for now, hopefully some pics soon.

Looking forward to it Reaper.

Sounds exciting, looking forward to the pics.

Which legs did you use for the nurgle terms?

Cant wait for both!

I'd guess on tartaros, likely some post heresy death shroud. Which I really want to see.

The legs I used were mainly cataphractii but for the champion I got a pair of pre heresy Death Shroud legs. Nearly finished the models now and some extra bits arrived from forge world today. It's slow going with the baby but I should have some pics up by the end of the weekend!

Right, as promised here are the models I am entering for Golden Demon this year. I think they may need a bit more work but I'm nearly ready to start adding paint!

I give you the Death Guard Terminators, the most expensive unit I have ever made!





The Champion;







The Reaper Autocannon;







Lightning claws;



Give me your comments.

Very nice Reaper... love them!

Thanks Gits, any way to improve them?

You know... I like them as is. Really. I think they're a fine looking and interesting unit. Wouldn't change a thing.

They look fantastic Reaper, was it easy getting the shoulder pads on?

Look really nice reaper! Also do you have any tips on painting faces? My sarges face looks terrible!

Well thanks gits, real compliment coming from you. Looking forward to getting some paint on them!

GiraffeX wrote:They look fantastic Reaper, was it easy getting the shoulder pads on?

Thanks GiraffeX, the shoulder pads were a bugger and it was heart breaking cutting off the cataphractii pads but it all looks so nice it was worth it. I can't bring myself to calculate how expensive this unit was!

Thanks HAZZER, as for your serg's face, I'll pop on your thread and have a look. Usually I work up from a dark brown (excuse the old paint names I'm not up to date yet) like scorched brown up to bronzed flesh with a couple of washes inbetween layers. Eyes are usually black dot, white dot black dot. If you know what I mean!
