I hope so too, Knightley. Great work on the robe.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Very interesting with the face paint!

**Knightley**

@Bigfish - Thank you for your careful eye, you are entirely right with the sword and when I get a chance I will try to fix it up, trying to fit the micro pen in the gap between the teleporter pack and the pad wasn't easy to get a good line on it

@Gits - Cheers mate

@Iron Father - thanks

@M.K - Yeah I realised that I have 4 faces all the same so I decided to break up the same looking face by doing stubble on the head, face paint and a scar on another.

Update: Next marine started, then first stage grey done (its a new marine not a repaint as well)

**Matt.Kingsley**

For a minute, I thought he only had one power weapon... Phew!

Also, the shading on the cloak of the previous was outstanding.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Now that i'm using the good keyboard I can translate what I said into english

Great work!
(woot, fially something you can read properly!)

EDIT: of course, it would help if I'd stop confusing english with indonesian (I kid I kid, but I still managed to miss-spell 'you'...)

**Knightley**

@M.K - I gather the faulty keys were Y U H N G

@Big Fish - Oops missed that one

@Graven - Thanks I wasn't entirely sure how it would come out but very happy with the results

Update: Grey is solid!

**prototype_X**

I have a question.... I can see that you've pinned the arms, do you keep them removable?

**Matt.Kingsley**

I don't think he does.
At least, he didn't with the GMS marine he gave me!

**funkyh**

I think its just so he can paint them separately and pose them before the end.

**Knightley**

@Proto - it's so I can have a stronger bond as typically I am gluing a painted surface to another painted surface and the bond is much weaker than with plastic to plastic

@M.K - Nah, I do have magnets I could try a fully combo'd out marine though (might be a future project)

@Funkyh - pretty much what you said as well

Update: highlights done

**inmygravenimage**

Like the pouches on the shoulder pad. Neat-o.

**Iron Father 575**

Looks good to me. What do you plan for the base?

**Knightley**

@Graven - Cheers, the pouches on the shoulders differentiate the second part of the squad from the first (the first being pouches on the chest)

@Iron Father - Thanks, The base will be the same as the rest of the squad

Update: metals/reds done

**Iron Father 575**

Very nice, Knightley. I love the metals, nice job. BTW, you have any painted Henchmen? I'm just starting them as a hobby project.

**Knightley**

The currently painted henchmen are below (in the spoilers)

Spoiler:

Update: Marine Done

Front

Side

Rear

**Gitsplitta**

Love that head, excellent work!

**Matt.Kingsley**

That has to be my favourite pose

**inmygravenimage**

So dynamic! Love it, and the brown of the pouches gives a really nice colour contrast.

**Knightley**

@Gits - Thanks, I'm not sold on the blue eye however

@M.K - Cheers, its not a bad pose, defiantly a combat pose!

@Graven - Glad you like it, the brown was a happy mistake in terms of a contrast

Update: Marine 5 started

**inmygravenimage**

Ooh like the jump torso on that body. And re: blue eye, well, I'd it were red then it'd be too Terminator-y; green maybe?

**Tazzy**

Very Cable

**Knightley**

@Graven - Green could be an idea, or yellow, a dark yellow though.

@Tazzy - Thanks

Update: First stage grey done

**Knightley**

Grey is solid now

**Matt.Kingsley**

Damn it, my posts don't seem to be showing up...
Anyway, for the past few pics, Great job!

Oh, and Izez havez a Noo KeeBord!

**Iron Father 575**

Thanks for the spoiler Knightley! Great work on the Henchmen and the marines.

**Knightley**

@M.K - Cheers and good to see a new Keyboard

@Iron Father - Happy to help

Update: Had the game Vs LDP and Proto and had a good game, managed to sneak out a win by 2 VP
I've done grey highlights on the marine as well

**lipsdapips**

Batrep Batrep Batrep!
Proto and I propose we do a 2500 point game next time ;D
Purchased some BLOOD ANGEL ALLIES (DEATH COMAPNY >

We all know how you just love death company!
