Dark Angels - Deathwing Knights and Terminators - Final highlights

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Deathwing. This is the final set of highlights, just lots of details, lenses, glows, banners - basically all the cool stuff. Now there's some weird vibrancy issues with the pics, so that Blessed Verdigris seems a little caustic.


But they're almost done, so I'm super chuffed. 


That Deathwing Banner is going to take some effort and I'm still debating the power weapon choice. Not silver, obviously. But lava, or red crystal? So many choices. 


I need to do the silver Deathwatch arm, 2nd from the left. It's been a while since I did my Kill Team Cassius, hopefully I can still get the recipe right.


My heavy weapons, Champion and Apothecary. Just in time for some of these to no longer be in the Codex. To be fair I was never going to buy/play them so no loss really. But it is disheartening to finally get these [almost] finished and the model is redundant.


I think the Champion might be safe, but I believe the Apothecary has gone and folk are using it as a chainfist terminator.


At least they're coming together, even if no reason other than I finally painted them.


Lastly, my metal Lightning Claw Terminator. I think I originally paused this no later than 1992 - 32 year's 'in progress'. 75% of it remains the original paint. Just the bronze areas, claws, shoulder pads and base. I don't think I'll ever beat it 


I mean there was this Citadel Samurai from 1984, but that's the age of the model. I stripped it down and repainted it. It wasn't a case of taking the original paint job and finishing it off. So maybe the Lightning Claws will take the WiP longevity prize...


TO DONE! next.
