My first tactical marine sgt I painted.



1st tactical squad I painted


This is my self made chapter called the Blood Hammers. If anyone is interested I will paint a spare marine I have laying around here in the next couple weeks when I move into my apartment.

Oooh, if anyone wants a Shadow Sanctus (My custom chapter) Veteran I could paint one up after I do RP's Master (Or during, depending on how frustrated I get) for a swap ^_^

Very nice vent!

I may be interested. I will try to find a model of mine that would be about equal in value of that one and paint him up in a couple weeks.

Hey, this is going to sound a little like a list of demands, but...I plan to make a sternguard squad for my soon to be Crimson Fist army made from various marines from different chapters that served together in the deathwatch, and still fight together supporting the weakened Crimson Fists...due to this they specialise in fighting orks. I require (all looking veteran-y):

1. A marine with a heavy flamer.
2. Marine with a sternguard style bolter (if necessary it could just be a metal sternguard model).
3.See above.

In return I can offer DA, crimson fists, blood ravens or a homebrew chapter of mine I have yet to start (Reaper Lords) anybody able to do this then just PM me. If you are unable to get a deathwatch shoulder pad then leave it off and I will put one on once it reaches me.
Sorry for the demand style that this was delivered :*(

Imp. Monkey

Ps. I may do a ten man squad or a couple of squads, if I do then I'll inform anyone else wishing to do this

I'd definitely throw my hat in on this, what a great idea!

I've been running BA since about 1995, and after doing a layout the other day, I discovered that I do have a complete Battle Company. Several Marines to spare.

Mostly just Tacs and Assaults to spare, but they can be vetted up!

Anyone wanting to trade, please let me know.

Porkuslimes Get

and Ice Angels self titled album

Porkuslime - Really like the old school feel of him. As a 5th edition noob most of the old guys I see are pretty crappy. Also like the earthy colors, fits the SW models well.
Ice Angel - Great fluff first off. The white is worlds beyond what I can do, and I really like the over all styling, base really makes him stand out.

C&C for both of you (same thing really) is the typical filing of mold lines and drilling of barrels. I really do both of those on my guys, as Pork has seen and IA soon will, and I really think it would take your models to the next level, especally the mold lines.

That being said, both are going to be in my "Hall of Armor" as well as stand in for my non-existant Sternguard untill they are finished. Keep up the good work and cool trades!!

Sounds great, can you give it a deathwatch shoulderpad and make it a sternguard veteran tho? I shall get that reaper lord to you then!

Right in a couple of days I'll have the required items to start work.

Basically going to my FLGS, buying a Marine CMD Squad box & assembling/painting it there.

Happy times!

That must be the Mantis Warrior Chapter Master that rebelled against the Imperium during the Badab War.... still sitting in his cell somewhere in the Imperial Palace... until his sentence runs out... thousands of years from now...

Wow SL.... nice job!

Good news about your blackberry... been dying to see what you've been working on!

Thanks FC. I try to do something special on all my swaps. even if its a basic figure. A different pose, added bits ect.

Vent- As for the figure.. it's just a figure, The termies in the SH game are sweet. If I really need this guy I'll buy another set or get him off ebay. Secondly Git and I go way back and I'm always trying to fit in with the beautiful people!

There are some figures that I will not trade - Old Old figures like.. there are old dread ( yes I'm that old) not must compared to todays Dreads. There to are recently retrieved from the vault of perpetual dust.

Those are... Dreadnoughts? Wow... I'd say how old school, but as someone relatively new to the game I don't think I'm qualified to even say how old school they are! Every once and awhile I feel like I've missed out on something by not getting into the hobby sooner... Ah well... ^_^

I have some original GW robots, the old squat figures. (Space dwarves) marines with eldar weapons (all in metal). so I would say you missed the W40k confusing years. Ahh the mole mortar... and SM jet bikes.. good times.

WM: no hurry on our swap.. I've only got the legs and torso 80% done. And at my pace that'll be weeks before he's done.

After that I'm on to some Kommando's for thing 2. Looking forward to doing something different. Should be fairly quick as I don't have to be so technical with Orks ( not having to match each figure exactly)

After that I’m swapless.. and I’ll need more to fill out my “ Company of the Dead” chapter

oh and don't ask to trade for the older stuff. Most of that has already transitioned to Git.. I'm guessing he has 6-8 Jetbikes now and 3 of the old metal LS.

hand me downs to the poor MW.

Progress on my figure for Styrofoam04. To recap... a "tainted" Mantis Warrior vanguard. Basic paint is done. Still have lots of details to do and the base of course. Camera is set wrong and I haven't had the patience to read the book to figure out how to re-set it so these will have to do for now.
