Pm me with some pics and we'll work out a swap

Sage... Your marine is complete. PM me your addy and I'll send him out. Let me know if you want a pic posted or you can do it when you get him.

SL

Hey guys, this is my first time to post on Dakka, I have been a lurker for awhile, and when I found this thread I could not resist chiming in and asking if people are still willing to trade. I am starting a DA army pretty soon and would be willing to paint one up and trade or I could trade Tau as that was my original army. However, I am fairly new to the hobby and am still learning. I am also transitioning from LOTR to 40K, so I don't have a lot of experience but I would put forth my best effort and look for C&C wherever possible to improve. Sorry for the essay, but I felt I needed to clarify. Also if you want pics, I can post some from my LOTR dwarves or Tau, but at the moment I only have a WIP Ezekiel.

Hey micah. Yes, people are still trading. I would recommend getting some practice with your own minis, picking up some techniques and helpful advice from dakk first. When you're confident in your abilities... post it here along with a pic or two of your best work. The rest will follow.

Okay, Thanks I will do that.

@ SL: pics woudl be awesome!

got gitz marine, will post pics of the whole team when i can!

Yea!!! *whew* was worried he'd gotten lost in the warp.

The based Brother Inushi, sent from Gitsplitta of course.

Nice job on the base Ice... he looks good contrasting with the white!

At first I wasn't sold on the bug helm, thought they be more like the red scorpion-isk. Not so much the helm , but the eyes, but the more I see this figure and the way you painted the lens, the more I've grown to really like it.

After my experience trying to paint the eyes on the Kantor figure... I LOVE the bug helm with it's big lenses... would never go back.

Cool, unexpected benefit huh?

This is the greatest idea I have come across! I have this marine for trade... I assume this is how it goes.
This was from my previous chapter of SM called the Phantom Panthers. Since then I have been painting Nurgle-y items.


Here is another old marine, this was modeled after the Soul Drinkers book cover. Once again an old paint job.
So is this correct, we show a painted marine and then see who wants it? Or do we show a marine with our current painting skills and they request one done IN THEIR chapters colors?

The idea is to do a custom painted mini for someone else as they do one for you. This is not intended to be a clearing house for old mini's that you don't need any more. That being said... there's nothing wrong with putting up already painted minis from time to time, I've even done that myself. But the spirit is to push yourself to do something really extraordinary for someone. I think everyone who's participated regularly in the swap has improved their skills markedly over time.

Sage's trade

Nice job brother.... Sage doesn't get those until AFTER Adepticon, right??

He get the one with the modern Jumppack only. I added the adepticon marines as a comparison.

Sage's guy is not a part of my Adepticon squad. I painted him as I let things dry.

hahahahaha! loved this..



that is a great model SL! i always have camera probs, will get apic of the one for you soon!

This thread keeps catching my attention how do i get involved?

Look 5 posts above your own.

Also for those looking to get involved, please let me know your Chapter name and I will add you to the master list on page 1.

TiB, I noticed something a bit off on your guy, but after I fix it up, I will post up pics for you

Oh all, due to a fluff reboot my CSM have undergone the Warpcrafters are no more.

They are now the Hawks Imperial.

The fluff in a nutshell is now:
- M36: Homeworld gets sucked into the Storm of the Emperor's Wrath.
- Daemons work their magic on their bodies and minds.
- M40: lull in the Storm, Hawks Imperial launch a crusade.
- The catch: Daemons have played mind tricks on the chapter; they still think they fight for the emperor but everything now looks like a traitor in their eyes so they haphazardly attack planet after planet, imperial or not.

Hilarity ensues!

Sounds good. TiB, anything you want me to change on your guy?

I think I see some spilled white glue or something on his left foot, next to the blade.

The rest is a-ok.

You want me to update you to the new chapter TiB?

yes please, Warpcrafters are SO 2010.

I play pre-heresy World Eaters and Angels Encarnime.

OK, workshop is dry now so I can start trying to re-organise the place. Appear to have lost the majority of my ork bitz, which is annoying, but whilst looking I did find the bits I had for an00bis. Realised I had been trying to shoehorn a particulaar idea onto the figure, so re-thought and did a bit of work on it. Apologies for the huge delay, graven think I've got enough bits to start on yours too.



Power klaw, boss-pole (or banna), 'eavy armour and shoota-skorcha combi mounted on the tracks as he had no spare hands. Still needs a bionik eye to match his pole icon, and I'd like some glyph plates down the front of the pole. Reading either Nob N'pu (Inpu was ancient egyptian for Anubis) or Marv. And there'll be some wires somewhere too




As you left load-out to me I figured i'd just throw the ball back in your court Shoota -rokkit combi and twin-linked shoota. Used a smaller maget on the second shoota, may change it up, it's okay, but not as solid as the other connections.

There's an Epic land raider under there!
