You know what I can be down for some HQ-ish trading, or even just a good model to add to my Death Company.

And look a pic of some finished work

Wow 1-i! It's nice to see your collection finally in one place. The horde of dreadnoughts looks cool. I hate to say it but you almost need some regular dudes in there. Is there a single tactical marine in that picture?

Not in that picture but that is not my entire army. I have all the pics in my marine thread.

Hey guys! Just found this thread lol, and I'm always up for a trade

Heres a few of my marines:







I also do Tau, and you can see more pics in my blog! (totally not a plug )

Nice work!

Hey all, Im back from my annual hiatus from dakka, and would love to help breath life back into the thread that breathed...? broth? life into my first painting attempts!

I'm still doing Crimson Fists, and I have a new chapter, under the old name of the Sons of Ouroboros. They are a sage-green color with white pads. Aztec feel to them now, heavily kitted out with pouches and the like. If anyone wants to swap, let me know. I currently don't have my models with me, but I think im going home this upcoming weekend and will grab them if I do. Examples are in my latest p&m thread

Lucarikx, I'd be down for trading with you if you'd be up for one more. Shoot me a pm if you're interested.

PM sent

I'd like to participate~!!

When I went vacationing in the Dominican I scuba dived with some folks then mailed them the footage I shot with my underwater camera. One of the disks went all the way down to Florida! So I'm fine with sending stuff away. I also paint well and could use a break from painting my rank-and-file dudes.

The following images aren't of finished models but they're pictures of WIP that I'm currently working on.

Cool stuff Holmes. Any pictures of completed marines?


In other news, my swap from Ramos arrived today. Pictures will arrive once I base him.

i am back everyone after sixish months of inactivity i am back and ready to swap some marines. pm if your intrested.
-four hours later-

okay i came home from swimming and went to paint my friends birthday present (box of tactical marines) and when i got to my painting shed i found the door ajar. when i came into my shed i found that my little sister had painted the walls with all my model paints then tipped my armys onto the floor and then had jumped on them. then she dumped all my super glue and plastic glue on top so all my models are now ruined.

Oh no.... i will light a candle in the halls of rembrance for you...

That's a major bummer. Hopefully you can salvage some.

wow.
Sir, my heart most definately goes out to you...
My sister (who was 4 at the time) took the pony from the starter box with dwarfs and O&G in and painted it in a thick coat of blue. Needless to say I was . I cant imagine how you feel.

Anyway, i've popped my head into this thread a few times previously, but now I think i'm ready. I paint White Scars, so if anyone wants to paint/trade whatever, shoot me a PM. I've not got any work uploaded (yet) but jump into my blob - link in sig - and something will be thrown up shortly.

Does your sister get an allowance/make any money of her own? Honestly, I'd talk to your parents about having her allowance divert to you until at least some of the models have been paid for. Gotta teach the kids the value of a dollar and to respect other people's property.

she payed me back the £250 she owed me (dat girl got £2500 from a car crash case win) so i bought a new space marine army (mega force) and all the paints so my striking cobras (mah chapter) can crusade again. and i managed to salvage my skaven and a couple of dreds plus my captain

Here is a WIP shot of some swaps I'm working on.

Now that they are primed I'm hoping to have some paint hit the models this weekend. More WIP will follow.

While I was taking some pictures of my WIP shots, I picked up all of the marines I've received from the wonderful dakka community thus far.


As you can see its quite an eclectic mix of chapters and styles. Some clean, some dirty, some make sense, several do not. Either way it has turned out great so far. More are still on the way. I'd like the thank Whalemusic for getting this started however long ago that was and a thanks to all of you that have traded with me. I think my painting has improved because of it.

I'd agree. I recognize several of those marines!

This is the washed termie that i am sending to zambro when it's done. i have also added insignia after the picture was taken. Without further ado i give you brother augustus of the cobra fangs

Nicely done.

thanks, but i think it still needs more i just don't know what yet...

Hey I came across this thread awhile back and wanted to do it then, but life happened lol. At the risk of pullin up a dead thread I have 10 painted Space wolves from a friend that I dont need. Was looking to swap to make a deathwatch unit (original huh ) going to use them as my legion of the damned. If anyone is interested I would love your paint scheme with a deathwatch shoulder pad or left alone if not and the left arm painted silver. Not based. hopefully people are still watching this thread.

Hey, not to necro, but is anyone still down to keep this running?

Real life stopped me from painting and modelling for some time, then came graduate school, then a revival of my old DnD group, and then more grad school.

Now though my brother has started playing warhammer, and I have started to go through my collection and remembered the great joy of this project. I have a bunch of marines, unpainted and most are unbuilt that I would love to trade! If anyone is still interested, I would love to trade some marines.

Plus i always had a dream of playing a game with all the marines ive collected from these trades, and need many more before it is a full army!

This has been a great thread. I'd hate to see it die off. Thanks for reminding us about it Sage.

No problem, i'd hate to see it disappear as well! It really was an inspiration, and great community project! And shouldnt stop!

can you trad umm lets say more alien models... such as some spacemarines with nid parts OR nids with spacemarine parts?

I would like to help reinvigorate, it would be nice to contribute to a great thread

Would anyone be interested in my orphaned Terminator Sergeant? He was painted as a Brazen Minotaur many moons ago but I don't use them now and it's a shame to see him standing idle.



The photo is a little harsh, he is slightly nicer in RL

I can try to find model for you!!

Wonderful to see this thread up and running again!
