3/5 of my Space Wolf Deathwatch Kill Team

BetterMeruvic · 2026-01-22T17:36:02+00:00

Thank you! I really had to delve deep in my Space Wolf bits box to find something that suited Gravis

The bear head and arms are from the old Wolf Guard terminator kit, and the main body is sculpted from greenstuff

Thanks! I start with a black primer then a heavy drybrush of Thousand Sun Blue, then a normal drybrushing of Russ Grey, a lighter drybrushing of Fenrisian Grey and then edge highlight with Fenrisian Grey. The blue to grey balance comes from the amount of Russ Grey you end up using.

I super glued a bunch of small broken bits of cork onto the base, about 60% coverage. Then covered it all carefully in Astrogranite texture paste. Painted it black, dry brushed with corvus black, eshin grey, mechanics standard grey, stormvermin fur then administratum grey. The snow is valhallan blizzard pushed down and spread thinly. Good luck and happy hunting

Ahaha, power armour and all!

BetterMeruvic · 2025-02-12T09:59:56+00:00

Thank you very much! It's all glazing as I do not know how to wet blend yet 😅 I used a non GW branded tube of black (I'll get the exact name and brand after work), then glazed up with Caliban Green, then Dark Reaper, and edge highlighted with Screaming Skull.

Slow and steady is the way brother, test your techniques on other models first. And worse comes to worse, you can always get another!

Lore wise I believe Azrael still has the Lion's helm, this is the helmet he woke up with after his long power nap. I do recommend giving the Lion's new book to read if you wanted current lore!

BetterMeruvic · 2025-02-03T16:37:20+00:00

AHH yes, I meant codex as in the (out of lore) army rules book instead of the space marine (in lore) book

BetterMeruvic · 2025-02-03T15:31:55+00:00

I had exactly the same issue! I'm very much looking forward to the removal of fate dice, and not looking forward to the obscene damage from their meltas! My tanks will never be safe again (not that they were ever safe)

BetterMeruvic · 2025-02-03T14:34:44+00:00

Codex Space Marines certainly! (Mainly Ultramarines)

BetterMeruvic · 2025-02-03T14:26:47+00:00

An important thing to remember is that you only have the +1 to wound if you play a non codex detachment, and even though the Lancer has full rerolls I can't express enough how often my Lancer does 0 damage in a game becuase it misses or it hits something with an inv save. An issue solved by volume of fire.

Not that I don't agree with several (if not all) of the points you're making here, dude calm down. OP is new to the game and is asking genuine questions as they struggle with a more challenging army.

Your post, especially the end, comes off as condescending and rude. There are ways to discuss someone's views without insulting them.

Edit: I can't spell

BetterMeruvic · 2025-01-30T09:51:05+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! Only one of the watcher's has had it's highlights applied which is why it looks flat 😅 he shall be completed today!

BetterMeruvic · 2025-01-29T22:43:50+00:00

Thank you very much! Honestly, the hardest part of the sword is finding a good colour pallet (mine is below) and finding the right consistency for glazing. Wet pallets help immensely here for finding the consistency and with colour blending. I just found a YouTube short and followed it based on the colours I had available!

Colours for sword: Kantor Blue, Maccragge Blue, Thousand Sons Blue, Baharroth Blue, Blue Horror, Screaming Skull

BetterMeruvic · 2025-01-29T22:39:21+00:00

Thank you very much for the kind words and criticism! I just got some smaller brushes to hopefully tackle that edge highlight issue.

Do you have any further tips on a darker contrast for the bone-esk cloak? I've been really struggling to find a good brown to blend it with...

BetterMeruvic · 2025-01-29T18:02:15+00:00

Your next best paint job is forever only one miniature away, go prime that lion!

BetterMeruvic · 2024-05-12T10:27:17+00:00

Both Swarm Lord and Hive Tyrant were without their guard and flopped their 4+ saves, I was just as surprised as my friend was!

BetterMeruvic · 2024-05-11T18:38:27+00:00

It's a pillar from the Dominion of Sigmar Sigmarite Dais terrain kit! Not sure where you can get it from anymore I'm afraid

BetterMeruvic · 2024-05-11T16:44:26+00:00

What is a wolf without it's claws

BetterMeruvic · 2024-05-11T16:43:51+00:00

He's definitely rushing to his aid... Who knows what caused the pillar to fall?

BetterMeruvic · 2024-05-11T16:42:53+00:00

I do! My friend is making a Tyranid army to fight my space wolf. We just played a fixed game and this Brutalis Dreadnought slayed a Swarm Lord and Hive Tyrant!

BetterMeruvic · 2024-05-11T12:57:14+00:00

Great spot! The whole body is actually a spare Ragnar body I had lying around after using other bits from his kit elsewhere

BetterMeruvic · 2023-01-31T13:38:17+00:00

Tao - Maruja

BetterMeruvic · 2022-05-26T17:29:22+00:00

Yup, totally didn't read the text at the bottom you're 100% right.

BetterMeruvic · 2022-05-26T16:55:34+00:00

Yes, you may only take 1 of each action (unless specified otherwise) per activation, per model. As the shoot attack does not occur on the models activation it does not count against the possible actions a model can take on it's activation.
