Introduction

Hi everyone!

On the suggestion Ben from GW Epsom I thought I'd create this blog to follow my Warhammer 40k Deathwatch project.

Basically I wanted to get back into the hobby but wanted to do something different rather than expanding my Grey Knights force or creating just another Space Marine army... so I decided to follow up from a Kill-Team I had created a while back as a one off and make an entire Deathwatch army.

Why stick to just the odd kill-team in a Space Marine army when you could have an entire Deathwatch Watch Fortress! So I decided to create a display piece of a Deathwatch Watch Fortress being defended against an assault (not sure from who yet...possibly Necron). I quite like wintery scenes so a Watch Fortress hidden on an snowy ice world sounded like a perfect setting.

I'm starting with a 10-man Tac Squad, a Commander and a Terminator Squad just to work out how I'm going to handle the shading etc for black armour. I'm also experimenting with Deathwatch Snipers, both scouts and power armour marines...

Anyway, off to start work now, quite excited to set started!



Anyone who has any spare Deathwatch bits: shoulder pads, bolters etc donations would be greatly appreciated or if you have more than a few bits I'll happily pay a reasonable amount for them. Likewise any spare Space Marine bits like power swords, pistols, heavy weapons or techmarine arms etc I would be very interested.
