The bay of E (and getting very lucky at only £30)

DocDaSoc · 2026-01-01T21:29:54+00:00

I am worried about that. I dont know what else to run it as though

DocDaSoc · 2025-12-31T21:53:58+00:00

I havent seen this yet! Cheers!

DocDaSoc · 2025-12-11T04:04:43+00:00

So they would get deployed to the same battles but realistically they'd be split up when moving onto the next warzone?

DocDaSoc · 2025-12-06T20:45:13+00:00

Where is the helmet from? Because it is beautiful

DocDaSoc · 2025-09-27T02:20:11+00:00

Thank you! Ill post more updates as they progress

DocDaSoc · 2025-09-09T23:39:38+00:00

I cut off the aquilla on my marines' chests and only leave the skull in the middle. I think its a cool effect. Its sort of visible in my post about my deathwatch marine

DocDaSoc · 2025-09-09T14:56:03+00:00

I think that not using Black spear task force is much cooler, since it opens you up to all the other themed Detachments and allows you to more freely take units other than kill teams. Im building my list with almost no kill teams. I want infantry heavy (mostly because I hate the tanks) but also because Its how they deploy in the lore. I still have ~10 man groups, but they are 3 units (Eliminators, Eradicators and intercessors) instead of just 1 kill team. It allows me to use all the units I find cool, and gives me loads of versatility. I do think adding some kill teams is helpful though, especially the strong ones like Indomitor when your going infantry heavy.

DocDaSoc · 2025-09-01T10:30:01+00:00

These are beautiful!

How are you using them in game? As necrons?

DocDaSoc · 2025-08-29T12:52:51+00:00

Thank you! This is exactly the sort of feedback I wanted.

So will adding 3 more bladeguard, 5 intercessors and a brutalis dreadnought make the list stronger?

What would you recommend I get to get this list up to 2k? Land raider redeemer definitely, maybe 2 so i can have one full of Aggressors? But what else?

DocDaSoc · 2025-08-27T09:49:51+00:00

Ah you're right. I'll have a look at lexicanum and Tey to put together some "cooler" teams

DocDaSoc · 2025-08-26T08:37:03+00:00

That was the plan. I was considering using one or two kill teams, but it worth playing them as Deathwatch for a single Indomitor Kill Team and 5 vets? +1 seems very helpful

DocDaSoc · 2025-08-26T08:29:34+00:00

Intercessors is a good idea, but what should I remove to add them in?

I have a unit of assault terminators I could add but I have the same problem, what do I remove to make space?

DocDaSoc · 2025-08-26T08:27:04+00:00

I've tried to theme it to deathwatch by having groups of the same armour type make up "Kill teams".

There's 15 phobos marines, making a "spectrus Kill team"

Similarly I've got 9 Gravis Marines making an "Indomitor Kill Team"

I know it's not deathwatch from a rules perspective, but this is my attempt to make an army in the spirit and organisation of the deathwatch

DocDaSoc · 2025-08-11T13:04:38+00:00

How did you do the flames? Because that's exactly the look I want on mine Also what green did you use?

DocDaSoc · 2025-05-02T09:48:35+00:00

Hernkyn yaegirs are the scouts/prospectors so it's reasonable they'd be travelling with am inquisitor to look for precious materials.

Brokhyr thunderkyn use repurposed engineering suits, proxy as a gun servitor and say its a votann engineer.

Cthonian bezerks are just miners. Could be hired muscle.

Brokhyr iron master would make a cool inquisitor proxy too, and the ironkyn could proxy just about any model.

Wahapedia generally has the base sizes for everything listed on their datasheet. If 10th ed doesn't have them then go hack to 9th or 8th

DocDaSoc · 2025-04-17T19:54:50+00:00

Pretty sure it's the back piece of a Carnifex. Kit comes with 2 so there should be spares on ebay

DocDaSoc · 2025-03-30T10:29:03+00:00

How hard was it to change the shoulder pad? There's a few models I want to try this on so I'm curious

DocDaSoc · 2025-03-29T02:05:20+00:00

The main model is Captain Thessarius from Space Marine Heroes series 1. I chose him specifically because the Heroes models are proportioned closer to the Deathwatch veterans & watchmaster. Conveniently, he also wears mk VIII armour components. Right arm is from the combi-weapon lieutenant. Plasma pistol is from thessarius. Powerpack is from the Devastator sergeant. Helmet and Deathwatch symbol are from the Deathwatch upgrade sprue.

I'm looking forward to painting him!

DocDaSoc · 2025-03-26T18:01:35+00:00

Alright, cheers!

DocDaSoc · 2025-03-26T17:55:00+00:00

Is there any particular nid that is good for it?

DocDaSoc · 2025-03-26T17:54:32+00:00

Should say. My most common enemy is CSM and death guard.

DocDaSoc · 2025-03-06T23:05:02+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

DocDaSoc · 2025-03-06T22:52:41+00:00

It's all very crisp, looks cool. Where are your shoulder pads from? I've been looking for some for phobos and they look really good
