With the global 40k campaign live, I find it fairly hard to get to my preferred local game store to fight the good fight- but luckily I can still contribute by painting! Despite my history as an Imperial Guard player, I've started this edition (collecting wise) by finally expanding my armies to include Space Marines- specifically the best of the best! Deathwatch marines from a bunch of chapters (including a Soul Drinker, a Black Dragon, and a Shadow Wolf) are in the process of being painted, and I'm finally getting to finishing my Primaris Marines from the starter set!
I still have some purchases ahead of me, notably Deathwatch Terminators and perhaps a Rhino/Razorback, but I've been having fun building and painting my new toys! Comments, suggestions for Deathwatch/painting, and concerns? Feel free to tell me below!
Pictures are courtesy of Chris Ormando, from his excellent 'Tactical Advantage' store in Kingston PA. I am also open to commissions- if anyone is interested, feel free to leave a comment!

My Deathwatch Corvus Blackstar, "The Shadowed Star" joins the fight for the Imperium. |
|
The base is modeled as a blasted cityscape, clearly overrun by Tyranids- perhaps a splinter of Hive Fleet Dagon? |
|
My venerable Dreadnought, Brother Astravian. |
|
Another model keeping to the 'infested cityscape' theme. |
|
Brother Astravian as been with the Deathwatch for a very long time, and has outlived his original home chapter. His title, 'The Last Knight', is thought by some to be a hint to his origins. |

Striding over some strange organic nodule towards the enemy. |
|
This is Inquisitor Danica Isgaard, an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor in power armor (a potential proxy for a Deathwatch Librarian) with force axe and inferno pistol accompanied by the Techpriest Enginseer Argos. |
|
A squad of Primaris Interceptors serving the newly founded 'Lightbringers' chapter. |
|
A Primaris Captain with his lieutenants. Note that these marines walk over the carnage of their Chaos counterparts, rather than some Xenos enemy. |
|
Squad of Hellblasters, with their very excellent plasma guns brought to bear. |
|
The same squad from behind. Their right shoulder pads are bare as I continue to dither on what their chapter symbol should be! |
