Deathwatch Ultramarine

This is Vael Donatus. He rates unexpectedly high on the Skullometer, due to the weights on his cingulum militare. These miniatures are the first where I've drilled out the muzzles (1mm drill) and now there's no going back, it looks so much better.






Skullometer: 12
Total Squad Skullz: 68

    Lovely stuff once again mate! Nice and crisp
    Yes, drilled barrels on such big shooterz is definitely the way to go!

    I'm a big fan of drilled barrels, the figure looks so much better. Great job.

      It's annoying when you go a little off-centre...

      Give it a go, it isn't too hard. I indent the centre with a drawing pin first, it helps line the drill up where I want it.

    Another piece of beautiful work, Barks. I love the details - his eyes are especially cool.
