Space Hulk Deathwing Squad finished


It's just enough to play the first Space Hulk mission.

I managed to get this entire squad done yesterday. I stole a day from commission work to do a little work for myself. You can click on the image above for the larger version. If you've just found this post and you're looking to see how they were painted, I have it listed in this post here.

As I get free time between commissions and I can get my other Terminators rebased and cleaned up, I'll be adding to this "group" so that I can play additional missions and change out the guys that need to be changed out.

This is how I've always imagined Deathwing looking. Dirty, worn out guys who have perhaps the most dangerous job known. I tried to keep the colors muted and simple to help portray that. I think I managed to get just the right look to them this time. They've got the chapter colors but it's not flashy or over the top or comic book looking.

I've always imagined them very "business" looking. Not many bells and whistles as that stuff just gets you killed in some dark corner of a tunnel. Utalitarian looking, that's these guys.

I did try to add some small touches to a few of the guys for character. The Heavy Flamer Terminator has soot covering the barrels of his weapon while the Sergeant's power weapon crackles with light blue lightning (my favorite effect right now). That and the freehand chapter symbol along with some individual freehand on their combat shields.

Now to get a game or two of Space Hulk with these guys.
