Starting Deathwing

First time painting these guys...I actually cant remember the last time I was so excited to paint a squad of marines!  I've always loved Terminators...from the first time playing on the kitchen floor with my friends, Ive always had to have Tactical Dreadnought Armor everywhere.  (Of course it didnt hurt that back then it was a 3+ ...on 2d6!....strength modifiers lowered it etc, but it was awesome).
I've always loved how the Deathwing looked, but early on I saw white dwarf 98 and Ultramarines became the coolest thing ever to me!



So there was no way I could stray from the codex and paint my 1st company white.  Well, now that Im a 40K hipster and can't bring myself to play UM anymore (haha...I liked them before they were cool ;) and believe it or not, they didnt used to be the gw marine posterboys...Crimson Fists and Blood Angels were both the first chapters I remember on the rulebook covers) of course now I get to paint the cool bone-white Terminators.
Wow, that was a long-winded way of saying, heres the first WIP shot.  (I realized I forgot to drill one of the storm bolter barrels...whoops, Ill fix that)

Devastator Marines

Picture of some marines I am painting in to a devastator squad.  Dusted off a couple old Rogue Trader missile launchers I found with some old fantasy minis I had.  You can just see then on the edges...Ill take some better pics ones they are finished up.  On a side-note, I am getting better at the Black Consuls Chapter Badge freehand...holy crap, its going to get REAL once I tackle the majority of the force.

Old Landraider!

Heres a pic of the Landraider I finally dusted off and painted.  Its been primed Ultramarie blue since Cobain was still alive!  Its a bit modded with some old predator sponsons...but finally ready to lay some firepower for the Black Consuls.
