Glad you like him SL. You certainly don't to step up anything, your lamenters are stunning. Yeah, I play mentors but would love one of your yellow mob; in fact, I'd really like a Lamenter special, if that's not a cheeky ask - a Lamenter version of a BA special or maybe one of the IA ones? Feasible?

I finally got a WIP shot of the marine I'm doing for Gits. Finally.

I've also just finished the Dread I've been doing for WhaleMusic360 too

Next up is a specialist for Graven in exchange for his Mentor "Counts as Straken".

@schank23 here are the wip shots of your big shoota boy:

I'd be interested in trading marines if anyone wanted, they'd be in either colour scheme of my two custom Chapters, the Blood Dragons, or the Boreal Templars who i'm starting currently. there are a couple of photos in my gallery of Blood Dragons, but I'm bored of them so I'm starting a more Arctic scheme, PM me if interested.
Thanks,
Raith

**Gitsplitta**

Hey Rath, post up a couple of pics so people can see what you do!

**Arakasi**

@endtransmission: Looking good! Voted!

@prototype_X: Don't be sorry - post better pics!

**dantay_xv**

@ endtransmission. Man alive that dread is beautiful..

**Shado.Raith**

@Gitsplitta, Roget that, I will do, Just need to guickly paint up a couple, currently all my marines are termies

Raith

**Gitsplitta**

Ah heck, just post the termie pics!

The point of the pics isn't necessarily to show what you want to trade, it's just to show off what you can do. That way when you work out a trade, you and the other person can custom make marines for each other so you each get exactly what you want or need.

Ok Here is my WIP pic for prime 12357.
He wanted a Blood Angel Vanguard Vet with a Lightning Claw and a Storm Shield, I hope this doesn't dissapoint

more pictures are here http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-14386-16005_Dakka%20Swap%20Projects.html I don't want to take up too much real estate.

**Gitsplitta**

Nice work Luke, where'd that shield come from?

**Grey Knight Luke**

Ummm my bits box

I believe that it is one of the top round hatches to a LRC. I took a combat shield, cut out the hand that is holding it, cut it down to fit onto the LRC hatch, glued it on, then cleaned up the kitbash a little, glued on a bolter hand and VOILA!

**whalemusic360**

Reminds me of a man hole cover shield ala TMNT, which is a good thing. I also now have the stupid "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" song stuck in my head, so thanks for that.

**Gitsplitta**

Looked vaguely Tauesque... anyway... looks great Luke, no matter the source.

**Shado.Raith**

Here is a pic of my Blood Dragons scheme termie ,

I'm just painting up my new army scheme, but here's a pic of the scheme outline,

Raith

**prototype_X**

that black and white one looks cool so ill trade with ya

**Shado.Raith**

@Prototype_X, I'm gonna paint one up in about 15 minutes time, then i'll post it and you can tell me whether or not you still want one (I've never had much luck with white :/ )
If you still wanna trade, what configuration?
Raith

**prototype_X**

ok i eagerly await.....

**Shado.Raith**

d'you only paint orks, or marines as well? Coz I'd love to see some of your work, but haven't got time atm to go hunting through the 68 pages here.
Thanks,
Raith

**prime12357**

Sweet! I'll start painting it up for you then!

**prototype_X**

@raith ill paint a marine to show you

**whalemusic360**

Some teasers of ChronoTrigger's Terminators. Once the shields get here, more pics will come. They are all (5 of em) magnetized for easy swapping. Heads are held in with sticky tack.

**TheChronoTrigger**

Awesome, looks great, i only have one more GK to paint up for you

**warriors of mayhem**

So i decided to see if anyone was up for a trade. Here is some of my work.

my "play as" seth Captain varro of the world eaters.

and my angels encarnime. My painting skills have improved since this model however so take this last picture with a grain of salt.

**Sageheart**

I have so many WIP photos to put up here, I'll try to get a camera soon and take some pics.

I would love to trade with you warriors of mayham, i would like an angel incarnate, the one there looks great. You just have to know I may take a bit of time to paint one up for you!

**-Cypher-**

@endtransmission: That is a beautiful dread! Fantastic skills were needed on that beauty.

@Shado.Raith: I really like the black and white scheme, and I can't wait to see it on an actual model. Even though I won't be trading anytime soon, schemes like that make me want to!

@warriors of mayhem: I really like the top pic. You did the white armor's shading wonderfully, though the blue looks a bit... pastel? I don't know maybe its just the light. Anyhow, great model, I'd love to see it across the table.

**Shado.Raith**

@-Cypher-
@Prototype_X,
I've just finished painting up the black and white marine of the Boreal Templars. But as they are ice related, they've been done in a blue/grey wash, which brings out an arctic feel i think, but i'd be happy to paint them without the wash, I'll probably upload the photos this evening.
Raith

**warriors of mayhem**

@cypher- Thanks. As far as the blue it may be the lighting or the fact that my phone likes to mess with my pictures.

**Shado.Raith**

Finally painted my Boreal Templars marine, I must apologise for the dodgy Templar logo on the shoulder, I decided that i just wanted to finish the guy as he is just a pilot for the colour scheme. This one has a grey/blue (9:1) wash, but if wanted i could leave unwashed for a cleaner black/white distinction, but i decided the wash looked good for an arctic theme.
