The Watchmaster is probably my favourite Deathwatch model you've done! Any luck finding a recipe for the power weapon? Not yet but thats been for a complete lack of trying haha. I havnt had a ton of free time lately so not much painting but i did add some reinforcements. 10 more marines which have rounded off my kill teams. I now have the one obligatory cheese team of storm bolters/storm shields which i thought looked lame so I tried to make them posed cool. For example, this space wolf with slung shield, knife and storm bolter. Also now have my four frag cannons since you only get one per box :/. I dont really have a list yet, nor have any plans to make it competitive, solely fluffy. Like this guy, cant even take both and from.what I understand the shotgun is iffy anyway but whatever. But now the important part of this post. Many of these guys have blank shoulder pads and as you know, I dont like that in my deathwatch so they will all need sculpting. As such I need chapters so if any of you fine chaps and chapettes have any preferences or cool chapters or, even better and more preferable, a custom chapter you think would be cool PLEASE post them here!

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Minotaurs! It’s the whole Spartans in space look. Not sure if you’ve already done one but that’d be my vote.

Finally, finally got 5 minutes off work (stuck essential at like 70 hours a week) to do something hobby related today so I did a few shoulder pads. 4 done, 3 to go for this batch of deathwatch. A non halfdead lamenter Preator of Orpheus Blood Sword Lambda Warrior And the last three that need chapters. Any suggestions? Nothing with too crazy of a symbol please haha Hows everyone hanging in there?

Excellent conversion work on the Deathwatch,I like the added details for the chapters you modeled onto the marines.
If you're still looking for suggestions the Red Hunters (very close to inquisition) and Iron lords (chapter wiped out a xenos race to deny nids) are solid choices.

Haha!!! Nice one!
You’ve really captured the Spartan in space look.
Looking forward to seeing this guy and the other nine painted.

I feel your pain.
I’m still waiting for my Father’s Day gift!
Hopefully now the lockdown is lifting life can go back to some semblance of normality.

Looking good! I'm a massive fan of Thunder Hammers so the Terminator is my favourite so far.

Itll definitely make my standard marine loadout more viable should I ever see the table again haha. I'm still not sold on primaris marines in my deathwatch so for now I'm sticking with all standard vets. I have been playing around with the idea of maybe putting in a squad or two primaris marines down the road if it becomes absolutley necessary but the lore for them will be they are grey shields 100% made for the deathwatch with no chapter attatchements.
In good news though, the girlfriend (who is currently next to me playing with some color schemes on bolter and chainsword before practicing on a squad of guard) has decided to go in on a SoB army. She ordered some alternative models from Raging Heroes (https://www.ragingheroes.com/collections/soem-sf) rather than the true sisters since she didnt really like their "ugly aesthetic". More impressive is the about 100 new paints and brushes that arrived today. I'm pretty sure I found the one haha. (Though in fairness, I finally bit the bullet after nearly 20 years of fighting it and bought some magic cards first so I could play with her since that's her hobby).

The Minotaur looks suitably awesome! Love those space Spartans.
If you can sit and do hobby with her maybe she is the one!!!
My mrs knows all about my hobby, I feel that a good woman will take an interest In whatever you love (my case it’s CFC and Warhammer!) So it’s only fair to take an interest in hers (even if it is Magic!!)
It’s worked with us through the last 22 years!!
Looking forward to more updates.

Last two custom pads for now. One is an Inceptor (UM 2nd founding) and an executioner. Getting closer to having all the Badab War chapters. All the sculpted pads.

Cheers jud! Back to guard now though. Squad two is now in the books and I really need to get a better way to get plasma guns into the squads. Full squad Trooper armed with a long las and a camo cloak Sgt. And just a trooper that needed 5 minutes. I like this guy a lot and I'm going to try to put one "human pose" in each squad moving forward. So far its him and the cig guy but I'll come up with a few more hopefully

Coming along nicely!
The camo cloak is impeccable, really well done.
I really like the idea of the “human” poses in each squad, will really add some more character to the force.
