Who watches the deathwatch?

The urge to paint something suddenly struck! I looked around on my desk and my eyes fell on the truescale deathwatch marine I converted a while ago and has been standing there since then, undercoated and unloved.


Say hello to Brother Sirius of the Deatchwatch. He supposedly belongs to a secretive dark angel successor chapter with stronger than usual ties to the Ordo Xenos.









The greenstuff work on his legs is admittedly complete crap - sculpting flat armour surfaces are just not my thing - but I tried to cover that up (he might receive a cosmetic purity seal or two as well...)

      The legs from the new Deathwing-kit.

    Wonderful work, the chapter symbol pad really stands out to me. And as usual the skin-work is stunning.

    So many really well made true-scale marine miniatures out there now, yours rank as some of my favourites.

    Is this mainly terminator parts, with a power armoured back pack?

    Thank you very much!

    You have a write up on the parts used in the WIP post: http://convertorum.blogspot.se/2014/02/further-experiments-in-truescaling.html

      It's a lot bumpier than it looks... But black fortunately is slimming.

    Awesome work, Jeff! If anything, those supposed imperfections you mentioned (not that I can even spot them) only add to the character of the model.
    The paint job is just beautiful :)

      Thanks mate! As you say I tried to work with the imperfections - just wish I could pull off a more smooth finish that seems like a walk in the park for some talented individuals...

      I find when I'm working with greenstuff, even with silicone/rubber tipped clay shaping tools. That just a light touch (very miniscule) amount of vaseline petroleum jelly, it breaks the surface friction enough to get really smooth surfaces.

      I do have to clean it when fully cured to make sure it doesn't cause any problem with paint adhering, but I just use an old brush and a little water to wipe it clean.

    Awesome...simply Awesome. As a Dark Angels fanatic, May I suggest a name for the successor chapter? The Swords of Caliban. :)
