The Watchers on the Wall
Do you feel lucky punk?
Veteran Brother Nico off the Raptors, call sign “Quick Draw”
Invictus WarsuitThis was the first model I bought when starting this Deathwatch Army. I honestly wasn’t a fan of this model when it was first released. This, along with many other Phobos Armored Marines struck me as too “Rainbow Six” and not enough “Grimdark”.
however, the Deathwatch have strong tech theme with their special issue ammunition and bazillion weapon options. Where Grey Knights are holy paladins battling the daemonic, the Deathwatch are half navy seal, half exterminators.
There are a bunch of conversions in this fig.
1) I loved the heavy bolted sidearm, but decided to tweak it a little by adding a revolver style gun magazine that I 3D printed.
2) despite the power first, I decided to give it a (large) combat blade, in the form of a 3D printed necron phase sword
3) I 3D printed deathwatch icons for the shoulder guard and front armor.
4) I green stuff sculpted the raptor icon on the right shoulder guard. Not too hard at this scale.
Overall the results were ok. I only have an FDM printer, so the quality on the 3D printed components wasn’t great, but were ok for a large model.

A fantastic looking battle force @foehammer888.
