Having worked as a farmer and woodcutter for most of my life i became determined to do something that would leave my mark after i was gone. Since then i got back to studies, and i have now a master degree in Electrotecnical Engineering as well as a degree on Electromechanical Engineering. On my free time i like playing and so i became interested in creating my own games or, in the shorter term, modding games to get something closer to what i would like games to be.
The Praetorian mod has a branch of allies dedicated to the Deathwatch and so for a long time I've been thinking about some model conversions that should be done to allow this branch to have at least a few units related with this iconic force.
As with the previous acolyte in power armour concept the base is the Black Templars sword brethren model as it has proved to have a set of weapon loadouts and other characteristics that seemed interesting for a model conversion. Right shoulder pads are randomized currently with 4 different chapter related shoulder pads taken from the deathwatch marine included among the Praetorian Mod assets. Some visibility and possibly OE edits should allow a few more pads to be available randomly but for the purpose of conceptualizing 4 is enough. I know the textures of the shoulder pads are not that good and that will likely need to be improved but I was reusing the existent pads from the current deathwatch model in the Praetorian Mod which is based on the vanilla tactical marine and so textures are not great.
Some body parts still need to be removed as they refer to templars and body parts seen as black in the images will likely be non-teamcolourable areas textured as black because of the Deathwatch usual appearance. Other areas might remain teamcolourable but not necessarily in the same way.
