Twelve Days of Deathwing - Part Four

Just Because You Are A Character Does Not Mean You Have Character...

So this picture teaches us the important lesson that painting only the space marine's eyes and doing that poorly can leave an honorable battle brother looking rather clownish...


Happy New Year!  Here to buff the saving throws of the Deathwing along with adding some whirling halberd attacks of their own, today we see the Apothecary and Champion of the Deathwing.  Word on the meta-streets of competitive WH40K is that thanks to the various changes made to 9th edition, Deathwing Terminators are now hard to kill, and the Apothecary's Feel No Pain buff will make that resistance to death even stronger.  For the modeling of these two, I used some torso twist and deliberate head placement to give them both a sense of movement.  As these recently constructed Terminators march by each day and I realize how much bone white painting is in my future, $25 for a rattle can of Xandri Dust is looking like a good investment.  
A page for the Deathwing project has been created and I'm updating the links in the list below each day.  The links don't display like I want them to all the time but if you hover your mouse over the unit it should show if there's a link to the relevant post.

  • Terminator Captain  - most likely using a spare Cataphractii Terminator Captain from Betrayal At Calth.
  • Interrogator Chaplain Sarpedon - the old school version of the Terminator Chaplain which I have conveniently already painted.
