Oooh you had a game in store? Was this today? I picked some stuff up yesterday from the store. Ah the lads are so nice. Always trying to sell us White Dwarf though O:

**Knightley**

@GD1 - Cheers man, I'm hanging out for your GK's now as well.

@Ogryn - Yeah I'm not much of a general but a old mate of mine is happy to school me now and again

@LDP - Yeah I went on Thursday and had a 1k point game and yes, they do try to sell stuff (I guess that's what they are there for eh?)

Update: Squad 3 Marine 6 done.

Nice work... man you can really plow through these can't you?

**leohart**

Awesomely inspiring work. May I ask what is that thing at his feet? I see those on the Dev sprue but have no idea what they are.

**Ogryn**

Really nice, Knightley! Has a sorta menacing look...

**Flying Pooo**

^That's a lovely looking marine there. Great work as usual!

**Knightley**

@Gits - Cheers Gits, I try to chip away at models at a constant rate, there are some days where I wont paint at all though (and it seems those kinds of day's are becoming more and more prevalent)

@Leohart - Thanks for taking the time to comment Leohart, the box at his feet? its a ammunition container for a heavy bolter, if you look at the backpacks for the devastator models the heavy bolter one has two of those boxes side by side so this is a spare

@Ogryn - Thanks I guess he does have a scowl about him eh?

@FP - Thank you

Update: Squad 3 Marine 7 WIP 2 almost done

**lipsdapips**

Step by step painting tutorial

I'll do one if you do one

**Knightley**

**Knightley**

Hmmm, seems pretty quiet on Dakka at the moment

Marine 9 WIP 2 is now up

**Capitansolstice**

Those HWS are so cool looking, I will never get over demon weapons!

**lipsdapips**

Yeah something like that. Just basically every step you take snap a pic

BTW i'm going to be starting a GK force late next January, just thought you'd be interested

I did a test mini and i'll show you a pic. It's not my best standard but its for a realistic speed so I can get an army done and it still looks pretty good and 'grimdark'. I'll show you a pic soon

LDP

**Capitansolstice**

ooohhh more from the desk of LDP

**bigfish**

newest finished marine is looking very very clean and well done.

kEep up the good work

**lipsdapips**

Give me your opinion

**bigfish**

very nice

**Gitsplitta**

I like it.... needs... something... though. Just something to set it off a bit.

**Ogryn**

Amazing seal. Looks nice.

**lipsdapips**

Thanks guys. I sort of see where you're coming from Gits, but they look pretty grim and dark like this ;P

**inmygravenimage**

Grim and dark is good in grimdark

but maybe a wee bit of really shiny edge highlighting? Also, @ Knightley - yeah, had noticed dakka quite quiet too.

**Miss Dee**

im waiting for FW to re do my stuff

**Knightley**

@Capitansolstice - Thanks man, I'm stoked you like them

@LDP - Step by step... Ok, i'll look into doing that for the purifiers I'm doing soon. I do like your GK's very grimdark!

@bigfish - not sure if you're talking about LDP's GK or my marine, either way thanks for commenting

@Gits - I agree with you, it looks like its missing one small piece.

@Ogryn - I agree, his models do look very nice and I can't wait to see more.

@Graven - I think you nailed it, the silver is very dark and has good shadows but there isn't a contrast to break the darkness, heck even if it is raised edge highlighting I believe it would add a wee bit to it.

@Miss Dee - Any particular FW stuff you're waiting on?

Update: Marine 9 done

@Bigfish - Haha no worries figured the comments were good so didn't mind who it was directed at

Update: last marine in this squad WIP 2
