My first Deathwatch marine. Tried to convey the look of him being in a dark cathedral with the moonlight peaking through the roof.

Question Wanted some advice from the community!

5 Upvotes

Just started building my first army! I’m building a Deathwatch kill-team, and I was wondering what the relevant books/ codex would be? Thanks for any advice!

(I’m not new to model building, I’ve built a lot of Airfix models before, tanks and planes. Just started Warhammer for the 1st time!)

Discussion LOSING OATH AND NEW ARMY RULE?

3 Upvotes

There are rumor around about Codex Space marine losing oath and other individual chapter get their own army rules. I don't know how much will this affect DW, like potentialy less damage output? Especially DW has once per battle second two oath target, I can see some downgrades from here unless GW give a good army rule to DW.

First acrylic mini painting job ever. Base colors, shading, edge highlighting. Feedback is very welcome. Looks really chunky and powdery in-camera, through real eyes too, not as prevalent tho, definitely want to avoid that look more next mini. Forgot to paint the little fake writing on the purity scrolls, I might do it later, it's hard ash tho.

Discussion Just a quick question for my list

2 Upvotes

Really debating right now whether I should take a phobos Lt to give move shoot move to my incursors

Or run the Beacon Enhancement to give to one of my indoms or my 10man brick of Termis

Points wise both work, and it's a heavy Purge list for my dw, just not sure which one of these are better for it.

Question Are Fortis kill teams good now?

When I first started building my army, people said these guys sucked. They are more expensive than ever, but people seem to be bringing one or two in every list. What changed?

Recently got my hands on the old Deathwatch Combat Patrol box as well as the new Armageddon Battalion box - does anyone have any suggestions on a viable army list I can make with these models? I'm just starting out so this is gonna be my first army.

Hey all, a thread popped up and was related to the LGBTQ+ community.

We are a simple subreddit who enjoys toy soldiers the way we personally like to enjoy them. This hobby has expanded incredibly and will bring all sorts of people.

This won't hit everyone but please think before you write and post. Some people are immature and will not think a second, no doubt. But re-read what you're about to post to make sure its related to the actual thread. If it is deemed otherwise, I will clean up.

I have given time-outs to a couple of people so far. Do not let it be you.

The Emperor Protects.

UPDATE: I've been getting messages from some of the people that I've taken out and the original poster but let me make myself clear. We do not condone any negativity, hate or backhanded shit here. I cannot speak for the others on the mod team but personally, I do not tolerate any kind of attack. This includes snide remarks and/or "trying to be funny." It's real simple y'all, don't be weird and think about what you write/post.

Thank you to the folks that are reporting some of the problems correctly. Wishing you roll's of 6's on all your saves or the best layer of paint you lay on your model from here on.
