Hello all, I would like to introduce my army background commision based service.

This is for those who want to theme thier army with background text (in addition to painting and modeling!) but have never picked up a pen and tried, or just can't be bothered to write something detailed but don't want to rush it and have a bad piece.

Basically, for a small fee payed in either bits I need (see below, list updated as I go) or gift cards to thewarstore.com I will write a piece of literature helping to detail the background of your army.

And this does not need to be warhammer related! It could be any type of piece for any type of genre or force level.

All I need from you is a PM detailing what you want in basic detail (names, thier importance, etc) and I'll do the rest.

For samples of my work please see the Invocation issue 5 (the quatar article, page 49)

and also the second post of this thread:

http://trollsforge.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=wastefluff&action=display&thread=1462&page=1

I have four levels of commision:

Rank 1: Small piece, 1-5 pages, negotiated bits or $1 per page

rank 2: medium piece, 5-10 pages, negotiated bitz, or $1.50 per page

rank 3: short story, 15-50 pages, negotiated bitz, or $1.75 per page (obviously a 50 page is expensive, but the time and creative planning involved is also high, this isn't my day job after all)

rank 4: custom, special pieces that are intricatly involved or multi document deals, negotiated bitz or discussed price.

Bitz/models I need:

Any IoB skaven models.
techpriest enginseer's
servitors of any type
power armor legs, torso's, power packs, and arms.
bolters with magazine feeds
anything imperial guard
anything skaven, brettonian, or tomb kings
skeletons and revenants from Mantic games

Given that you've provided references of your work and are looking for wargaming bits in exchange, I'm going to leave this here for now, pending discussing it over with the other swap shop moderators. I've edited your title to match the standards for this section.

Please, only interested parties post in this thread, as usual for any threads in the swap shop.

Thanks...

Thank you Ritides. I apologize about the title as I could not decide on how to use the tags so that it would make sense.

Just got a commission from him, looks great, was done fast for such such good writing! I suggest his services!

Hi Lord M! I have various things that you list in your wants, particularly:

servitors
power armor legs, torso's, power packs, and arms.
bolters with magazine feeds (do you mean the belt feed, i.e. chaos marine type? or the long belt like the heavy bother?)
bunches of Imperial guard bits (mostly infantry)
misc tomb kings

but I am not really looking for someone to write up any army background. Are you interested in any other kind of transaction? I can either sell (paypal) what you'd like or perhaps trade depending on what you have. Shoot me a PM if you are interested, and thanks!

I have updated my wants list with IoB skaven. Also, thanks to Revacky for the kind words.

And I must say I am very pleased with the results k: .

Good communication with Lord Marcus, he takes into acount your wishes, gives you a realistic timeline in which the writing will take place, and he even offered to incorporate pictures from my Renegade IG blog (now called The Servants of the Fly) which I didn't even bargain for!

Highly recommended, and make sure to read his work in the above mentioned link to leave your feedback.

I know that I now love my army even more, now that it has it's own history and it's own little place in the GWS-40K-Universe.

Cheers Lord Marcus!

This thread has been locked to reflect the Swap Shop Rules and Guidelines policy of a minimum of 4 days between bumps.

Please PM myself or RiTides or Ketara on or after 12/18 if you want to have this thread unlocked.

Any new thread that is created with this same information before this time will be considered spamming and will be deleted.

Commissions Have resumed a normal pace of completion, although there will still be some wait time on any new commissions as I transfer pen and paper words to type for current commissioners along with working on my own fluff and armies.

Thank you Jin for reminding me of the four day rule/Unlocking my thread, and I will stick with it.

All,

I have received my requested "History" and all I can say is Thank you!

This guy has the gift of "fluff", and has made my new venture in to the world of 40K much more enriching.

NOTE: I opted for level 2 and am very pleased with the results if you have yet to realize it.

Cheers,

EDIT: I apologize. this was not a bump. I hit quote on Gunny-frost's post so I could post his thoughts on my threads on other forums, and accidentaly hit "submit".

PM'ed
