I'm glad someone else finally took some interest in the deathwatch's questionable acquisition of xeno tech. The codex has a reference photo of a possibly tau looking pulse rifle covered in purity seals that I think looks awesome. Not a single person that I can find online has seemed to take interest in unique features like that on their models.
It's one of the coolest things about DW for sure.. Yeah the Tau rifle in the codex was one of my inspirations. I'll definitely do more stuff like this!
I have Xeno tech on my Role Play character that my Profile photo became. he is from the same Ordo the DeathWatch serve in
That's a good bit of extra lore
Bro this channel is great been building a deathwatch kill team this gives me so much inspiration can’t wait to see more
Thanks Thomas.. Glad they can help and feel free to share your work as well 🤘
Absolutely fantastic conversion brother, honestly making me want to convert more of my DW. Massive congratulations on your little one. As far as what chapter he should be I’d say Blood Ravens for sure
They are the best Chapter to do converting! Thank you, appreciate that 🤘 Blood Ravens seems like a good choice
@@JamsMiniMods hopefully soon we can see you bring the Mortifactors into your deathwatch
@@soloexplosions7439 we'll eventually get to them.. They would look great
That paint job is pretty good, Man. Don't beat ya-self up. Looks sharp.
Thanks Gonzo, but I'll definitely finish him up when I get the chance!
Your paint job isn’t bad at all. Sure there’s more details to add to add flare, but what you did, you did 10/10
Thank you! I'll definitely add those details at some point
@@JamsMiniMods seems a shame not to on a mini that you’ve spent that much love constructing.
@@slobiden.2593 that's a good point
"In a pretty bad paintjob"
Dude's literally made of of the best "speed" paintjob i've seen
Haha thank you, appreciate it!
With his taste for high-tech; I'd make him a Mentor Legionnaire.
That's a great kit-bach.
Weirdly I was thinking about doing a Mentor kitbash soon. Thank you!
I just started thinking about making a Watch Master in gravis armor but was wondering about the Deathwatch shoulder pad. The normal ones dont look too bad on gravis armor.
I think the terminator pads would fit well. Can't remember which ones I used in this 🤔
I absolutely LOVE this! my dream hq! i already love the base model of the gravis captain, and you made him soo epic! so much flavour added
Thanks for the really kind words.. I wasn't really sold on this one, but it's growing on me. 🤘
Great job on this guy and again congratulations on the Baby. This guy has pretty cool gear going on
Thanks on both Matt 🤘
I agree about the gravis armour hood not being widely liked.. apart from on the Inceptors which imo are the best Primaris aka jumpy dudes 👍
Yeah and they just fit the theme/lore of Inceptors.. they get dropped into the battlefield and then fly around. The extra head armour helps.
Just a suggestion, maybe give the model a spin on the turntable unpainted before the painted version?
Great video as always and enjoy dad life.
Thank you.. And yeah I can do that 🤘
Black Shield
That's always a good shout 🤘
Congratz for this captain and for your child 😎
Thank you Martin!
Make him a Black Templar back from the Crusades and now joining the Long Watch :)
Black Templars are always a good choice.. But not sure they'd get on with using heretic weapons 🤔
@@JamsMiniMods Exactly! No wonder he needs all the purity seals to reassure him... lol
@@benward5732 you've got a point there!
nice job jam the man
Thank you Brother!
I thought of a idea for a kitbash you could try even tho it might not be useable in Warhammer but maybe a pirate rogue style if possible it be cool to see what and how you might do it
That sounds like a great video for Halloween haha. 😅
@@JamsMiniMods for Halloween I was thinking of you can somehow fine a pumpkin resin model the side of the war hammer heads and make like a living scarecrow like one
@@wardogdauwdd3020 haha well I have a 3D printer now so anything is possible
@@JamsMiniMods true it would be cool to see you make A Nightmares pumpkin Heads with a 3D printer
I'll put it on tht list 🤘
This dude gives me ironhands vibes for sure
Yeah that's what I'm thinking as well
hahahahaha ;) this is barely heretical compared with my lads :P Looks fab as always Jam
haha this is true.. thanks man 🤘
Nice conversion and tutorial mate, keep it up. Is it my idea or does this model have an unnatural pose by design? I mean the hips position to the legs facing forward? Dunno. Could benefit from a little green stuff lengthening to the thighs.
You're 100% right, the model has a really weird pose.. And I think I made it worse to be honest. If I swapped the gun and sword arm around it would have looked better. And thank you!
Ooof, I've been meaning to merge xenos and astartes for a good while now. Didnt realise Deathwatch already do this. Nice!
Yeah it's one of their coolest things. But nothing is stopping you from creating a custom chapter that does it 🤘
@@JamsMiniMods Definitely will, haha.
Blood Ravens?
That could definitely work!
Been looking forward to this 😆
Hopefully it doesn't disappoint!
@@JamsMiniMods He looks amazing 👍
@@RedRam_Menhtrol Thanks, glad you like it 🤘
sick conversion as usual! also, who disliked this right away (let alone disliked it at all)?
Haha obviously a Necron fan 😅 and thank you!
👏👏👏🤘👏👏👏
Blood angles
They are always a good pick!
Imperial Fists.
That'll definitely work
Really nice stuff overall but it is somewhat dissapointing and detracts from the interesting conversion that you didn't finish detailing the purity seal or the little wrist display right next to the converted weapon is really noticable to me. Not trying to be mean just curious if you forgot about it or what?
Understandable.. I didn't forget but I just didn't have time, with the birth of my son, I barely got the base coats down in time but I wanted to at least get some paint on it. 😅 I'll finish him off soon and post it up.
@@JamsMiniMods Congratulations and good to hear overall.
@@Aspeboy1 Thank you 🤘
JimJam, nice to see u move away from wolvies. Salamanders or Dark Krakens be good
I'll have to put the Krakens on the next poll 🤘
“Mojave knife” lol I know that’s not what he’s saying
😅
