I'll start building your guy just as soon as I finish BishopGore's

Update on how its going on my end.

Love it!

I picked out a head tonight and started on the quartering pattern to make him a Defender of Obscurus. Really looking forward to painting this guy, more pics later this week I hope

WM, here is a WIP of your GK termies, the GK with the sword has to be weathered, my phone camera doesnt really do these models justice, hope you like what you see, lemme know if you want anything else added.

Looking good! Interesting effect of the NFW, may have to steal it for my GK. I've got 2 of the termis done (except the GS filling) and will likely get the other 3 tomorrow.

@TheChronoTrigger: Yes - nice NFW effect! I can see I'm going to have to redo my Big Mek KFF again...

Haha thanks Arakasi

Hey again guys, this time I'm writing up a proper (advert thing I dunnor )
So I make a custom army called Adeptus Mechanicus, aka techmarines

Here is a picture of some of the Marines:


And this is my painting technique/pattern:


I hope someone is interested in trading with me! I'll make my best effort to make an awesome techmarine!

Those tech marines are cool, are all of your tech marines black with the red trim?

I'm hoping so yes (:
as I've said, I havent really painted any of the techmarines yet so if you trade with me you get the first of its kind!

I have three projects lined up, but I'll swap with you after Poly

Yeah I'd like that! just let me know! i might start building yours soon!

My marine by BishopGore is 90% done (pics soon BG, I need input before weathering and ink)
ChronoTrigger: want any specific weapons/ gear on your DA apothecary?

he carries a flamer and a chainsword, if you could model both that would be sweet. I'm gonna redo the blade on that guy to match the blades i am doing for WM, they're quick and i could use the practice

@Bish, fig done see pics
@lorna fig well underway and first pic has an update for you

@1-i I put the first layer of paint on the body and am preparing the head, pics in the next couple of days when I have the time.

@BBL I have a few bits of detail to do and I'll be ready for the swap! My very first

@All - In a few days time I will be receiving some new bits, if anyone fancies a Defender of Obscurus marine or a Mantis Warrior marine in their armies (plenty of pics in my album and this thread to see what I can do) get in touch!

And they look awesome

I think Polyd8 and I will be trading, possibly a techmarine going each way, we shall see!

Just a quick note to say I absolutely love this Marine Swap thing, I have learnt new techniques and pushed myself so much further than I would have for a marine I was making for my own use. Thanks WM for setting up this thread

Well BBL, i managed to finish one edge of his blade, then my airbrush stopped pushing paint through, not sure why, so it's taking a bath, ill try to pick up on it again tomorrow.

Hey Polyd8,
Wanta swap?pics of my guys are on page 62 unforchenly the guy with the multi melta is taken.

@BishopGore; Here are the pics of the techmarine for our trade! The servo skulls and base havent been done yet, but this is just progress! I hope you like it!

@Hazzer; I'd love to do a trade but it'll have to wait till after the 15th because I'm leaving for spain this friday and I won't be able to get bits for a fair bit, but you are definitely on the list for when i get parts back!

Don't worry because my guys are needing painting and it will be a fare few months before I can get beck into painting (because of me being kind of busy). Also don't forget to change your country icon!

country icon? But I'm in English! xD

i think he means when you go to spain.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
also hazzer you didnt get back to me on what weapons you want on your seargant.

Ah, I see.
Well, I'm going to be there for a week with no internet connection and then I'm coming back, which is why I wasn't thinking of changing the country

BG: my 'I'll put up a pic for input' was actually a clever ruse!
Here is your marine




Chrono: Here is my WIP of the nar...something arm. If you don't like it, let me know

Narthecium from a harlequin's Kiss...very nice idea.

Dude looks good! I have one more little thing to do with your model, then I shall take photos and wrap it up ready for transit.

Whats a Harlequin's kiss?

Its a bolter scope cut into two parts, a piece of paper-clip, wires from an old doom siren for a chaos vehicle, and a tank from a biker multimelta

Even more impressive! Harlequins kiss is a wrist mounted gun from way before all the marines started wearing them (those space marines are so behind the times with their fads ) which Eldar Harlequins had. The fact you've used a piece of paparclip and trimmed down the piece of plastic to fit it so perfectly is testament to your skill (or my blindness, but that isn't so complimentary to you!)

I looked it up on lexicanum...
It seemed so brutal...

And thanks

Awesome BBL, looks great!
