@Swordwind - I bet it was the colors! Blue/Red mechanical... I can totally see that.

@Daxx - Ooh, the DT shot on vehicles, I hadn't considered that. Might have to try that in an upcoming games

@Graven - Oh, that makes quite a bit of sense now I'm happy to continue then!

@Gits - I'm happy you like him. He'll be in the post tomorrow and fingers crossed in two weeks you will get him.

Update: Ice's GMS WIP 2

Great progress all round!

I'm keen to see how you get on with the Thunderfire Cannon, I like the model/concept but have always been put off by the idea of painting mass metal!

Watching with interest!

Looking good as all ways. Not many people do use the Dt shot on tanks or anything for that matter and if the rolls go your way it can put a cannon shaped spanner into the works.

@E_C - I think I'll get onto the thunderfire after I finish lorna's marines and WM's plasma cannon marine. stay tuned shouldn't be more than a couple of weeks away time permitting.

@Daxx - Thanks, I have yet to field the TF does anyone have any experience against the light armour of the DE when using the cannon?

Update: Stage 2 Grey done

Thanks GD1, I usually get between an hour to 3 hours a night to paint so I guess it's just consistent painting time that does help.

Sweet sword! I also like the fact that he is pointing. Not enough marines point.

@Git's - Cheers, I because Ice is looking to bring him into his fluff line I wanted something a little different for the weapon, fluff wise... you'll have to wait

@Ice - Agreed, pointing is definitely a better pose, he's more challenging this way, I'm glad you like it.

@Daxx - Thanks

@M.K - Epic is more than enough!

@LSC'L - thank you.

@Graven - Your Mentor marines weapon was the inspiration, I'm not sure I could do the same effect in the same way again, so you do have a once in a life time painted effect from me

Ice's GMS marine is done!

That looks awesome! I love all the scribbles along the armor, and that hood really puts him a step above your typical GK guys in terms of just looking cool. Top notch chief.
