@StormSung, to Join is easy in fact you just did. As for what is acceptable, that normally is decided between you and whoever you trade with but yes a Sergeant is perfectly fine and objective markers are not out of the question.
@Cormadepanda Not I but good luck and welcome aboard.
These Flame Wardens are definitely a work in progress as of this moment. They're basecoated with some test silver ran over them and some scraping here and there I'll need to touch up. I've spoilered my post to hide the picture spam.
Spoiler:
Granted, here they are.
Here's the objective marines:
It seems like pictures make the model look worse than it is in real life, and shows all the flaws. :I
And here's the base I plan on using for these two.

I eventually plan on making the one with the Sanguinary guard bit a captain, and greenstuffing on a cloak.
Regardless, they're loosely based on this:
Here's Sarge:
Anyways, I hope to take my Sergeant that I do not want to use for TT (I need one with a flamer,) and the objective marines and officially enter them into this swap. A little background here, I've only had one successful trade so far on dakkadakka but, I hope that won't stop anything.
The Sergeant, after some paint and greenstuffing (Probably a cloak,) will be traded for another Sergeant, hopefully one with a flamer. It'd be awesome if I could get one from the Mentors or Dark Angels, in a more oliveish color. As for the Captain Objective piece, hopefully a basic terminator.
Anyways, here is the chapter scheme, and how that Sergeant should look, minus the helmet. (This also includes those marines in the objective.)
Anyways, Graven, Git, or if any of you want to do a swap, that'd be awesome. What do you think of them guys?

I know right, its actually p*ssed me off to an extent . Not that I'm never getting a model in return, but that people like this can rip other people off with no recourse back on them, that's what gets me going. I have his personal email and address so there could be a huge steaming pile of order manure being sent care of a disgruntled modeller

@stormsung - there's some nice builds there mate. I'm certainly not saying no to a swap but I now have 3 that have fallen through, so I'm wee a bit cagey.
@knightley - I advocate unleashing the pregnant terror upon him.

Anpu-adom: "being Geek is about Love. Some love broadly. Some love deeply. And then there are people like Graven.
Finally (after several years) finished graven's GMS marine!
"Uncle John" Grobowski enjoying leave right before being shipped out to serve as a scout specialist with the Deathwatch. John enjoys long walks on the beach, slaying heretics in the name of the Emperor, pranking his squad mates and spending time in the brig (after accidentally pranking his Captain). Pictured here on Zegama Beach with the misses "Long Tall Sally" and his wing-man "Chip". Turn ons: Caressing Sally's trigger until she goes off. Turn offs: Night fighting (nights are for loving, not fighting).
(Hope you like him graven & find him worth the wait.)
And the formal shot...

No problem HEA, just do what Fen did. Post a couple of pics of your work and see if anyone is willing to take you up on a trade. Does not have to be a tac marine. Scan through this thread and you'll see all kinds of amazing minis (most custom-made).

I believe most people swap minis painted after an agreement with their trade partner though... You can post pictures up and see if anyone wants to trade with you!
Would anybody be interested in swapping out painted Dreadnoughts?
I have the following fully painted Ironclad Dreadnought (painted in Deathwing colors, with all the weapon options painted also + magnetized hands) that I'd like to swap to an ordinary dreadnought, preferably painted in DA or Deathwing colors.
Here are some pics, the upper body turns (is pinned) and like I said the hands are exchangeable. The only problem is that some of the magnets are a bit weak, so if you want to get the hands to point at the sky or something like that, it's hard to keep them in that position.
Apologies for the slightly sucky image quality, have only my phone camera.
If the images for some reason don't show, here are the links (they're hosted on my DropBox)

Those Dropbox links are tricksy! Try posting your images up in the DakkaDakka gallery - you'll have much less issues! Hmmm - even more tricksy than I first thought!

I was just talking about this thread with some friends when I realized I hadn't seen any action on this thread in awhile. I'm going to be doing another swap with Ramos so I thought I'd help bring this back to life. I'll post some pictures once I iron out what I'd like to make.
Let me get home and take some pictures of my Angels of Vengeance (Dark Angels) and my Blood Knights (Blood Angels) And I'd love to swap! Currently at work but I will post some later tonight (US Eastern Standard Time that is)
