@LSC'l - Thanks, I'm not happy with the Techmarine so he will be getting redone at a later date.

@Graven - Cheers, I'll see if I have anything to show the back of him - If you zoom in you can see more.

Spoiler:

@Gits - I guess your right, it was worth it, and even though its a nightmare to paint, it does look ok.

@Leo - Oh, good point i'll do a before and after pick.

@Swordwind - Tarantula you say, will have to see if I will buy one first

Before and after on the left

Before and after on the right

Update: M.K's GMS marine WIP 2

**leohart**

Wow, those comparison shots are awesome. What is the color you use to highlight the wheels? Are those mithril silvers?

**bigfish**

liking the comparision shots, and the thunderfire in general. very cool

**Casey's Law**

Are you repainting the tech marine because it's a different red? I love the colour he's painted in but i could understand repainting him for the purpose of unity.

**Knightley**

@Leo - Cheers Leo, Yep you got it. Edge highlighted with Mithril silver, Looks pretty good from a distance

@Bigfish - Thank you!

@LSC'L - Not a different red, more that there is to much of it, you can see that pipes/tubing/joints are all red and there is no other real color to the model so I plan on changing that

should make him more awesome.

Update: First and second stage Grey done on M.K's GMS marine

Me Likey

God, now I'm feeling guilty that I haven't had a chance to start...

**Casey's Law**

Ah i see what you mean, yeh he'll look even better when you work your magic.

**Gitsplitta**

Knightley... you are just a GMS machine! You're going to be caught up with me in no time!

**Norn King**

Crisp and grey!

**Knightley**

@M.K - Well the weekend is fast approaching, could a good opportunity to jump on making a start on him.

@LSC'L - Yeah he should be, I am open to ideas however on additional details which could be added. He will get the nomal squiggles on armor but if anyone has an idea I'll entertain it for when I repaint him.

@Gits - If I get all the models from GMS swaps (including the 4 I'm making on Saturday) I will be up to 14, so I still have a small way to go before I catch up with you.

@N K - Thanks, that's the feeling I'm trying to go for with this army

Update: Edge highlighting done on the grey

That all sounds good to me man, pick out the details like piping and do your squiggly line scriptures and that should be him. I wouldn't do anything unusual with him.

**Knightley**

Sweet as, duly noted, let the painting do the talking eh?

Update: Metals and Reds done

**Knightley**

And completed

**Gitsplitta**

Oooh... someone got a camera upgrade... or something related.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Epic!
Now I'll just start on yours with the bits I have, so everything but the arms and the helmet. I want to have him with it hanging off his belt

**Norn King**

His face looks sooooo good.

**daxx367**

Looking realy good.

**inmygravenimage**

Yeah, lush, really need you to do a face workshop!

**Knightley**

@Gits - Same camera, I guess just a good shot eh

@M.K - Sweet, I look forward to seeing what you come up with

@N K - It's not bad, certainly in my top 10 I've painted

@Daxx - Thank you

@Graven - Well if I did a workshop I'd have to be in either the UK or USA to really get the most out of it

Update: WIP shots of GMS marines I made on the weekend.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Looks like I'm missing a pair of legs

well, atleast I haven't ordered bits for the second GMS marine I'm doing

**Casey's Law**

Cool stuff, dude!

**Knightley**

@LDP - Cheers LDP, and your pic, while upside down, looks cool as well.

@M.K - Shame on the legs, your Marine is in the post by the way.

@LSC'L - Cheers

Update: I ended up redoing Endtransmission's marine as I wasn't happy with how it was looking, so I changed it up and primed him

Front

Back

Side

**inmygravenimage**

What's up with the pad on his left shoulder? Not in a negative way, just looks like a resin number, wondered about its provenance.

**Knightley**

I managed to source an odd number of resin copies of the Deathwatch pad so what you see there is one of the last few.

Update: got some paint on Proto's GMS marine

**Knightley**

First stage Grey completed

**spudkins**

Awesome work brother.
Like the the thunderfire loads and loads.
Peace

**Matt.Kingsley**

Well, getting dem bits...soon, mostlikely today, if not tomorrow...

**Knightley**
