EXPANDING KILL TEAM “TISIPHONE”
by Seyni N’diaye
Brother Dimitrius hails from an unknown
Chapter but seems to have been part of the
Deathwatch forever.
Both his affinity with machinery and his coldhearted logic might mark him as a scion of the
Iron Tenth to many, but there are darker rumors
that circulate about where his true origins
might lie.
Despite these rumors, Dimitrius – simply
called “The Bitter One” by his Tisiphone squad
mates – is nontheless a valuable asset to the
Deathwatch. His determination unwavering
during all his years of service. He spends
much of his time in the Techmarine quarter
of the Watch fortress, tending to some of the
Dreadnoughts and other relics of the Chapter.
Some say that he feels more at home with those
ancient weapons and relics than with other
battle brothers. In war, he wields an array of
terrifying weaponry, all upgraded by himself and
some of his own designs. His mastery of these
makes him the perfect support at range the kill
team needs.
This model was made using different kits and
bits such as the Horus Heresy iron Hands
Gorgon terminator legs, plastic Tartaros
Terminator torso, a melta-power fist from the
Salamanders member of a Deathwatch kill team
box, as well as a Tartaros plastic pauldron,
inquisitor Coteaz’ hammer, and finally, a
Primaris Gravis armor backpack combined with
a Mechanicum Thallax lightning gun.
When painting Dimitrius, i took some care
while playing with the smoothness of the
non-metal metaliics by working with a wet
blend of blue, Tenebrous Grey shadows and
ice Yellow highlights.
The face was my favorite part to work on, with
as many colors as possible (as usual). I really
enjoyed leaning into the green hues in the
lower part of the face.
As a little bonus here is also my latest bust
called Serenity. I made this one from the bust
Sunset from Pedro Fernández Works.
This is me trying to tackle something more
primal and infused with a more artistic flare. It
represents a calm in the eye of the storm that
art and expression might be in ones life.
I hope you like her.
Happy painting!
