@cypher,
Yeah, i wrote something, but realised it hadn't been directed to me (that which I had answered) so I removed my comment.

**Killamop**

Yeah that was me man, I meant to direct it to you (it's been edited now) I accidentally directed it at someone else.

Where in Kent are you Shado.Raith?

**dantay_xv**

@ Shado, what kind of objective marker do you fancy having for your army. I gave you some ideas for mine, lets hear what you would imabine as a good marker for your guys :0

**TheChronoTrigger**

WM360, your terminators are ready! Finished em up this morning

**whalemusic360**

Good to hear! I havent yet had time to make the shield hands, I'm shooting for next week tbh, I've got finals on monday with projects out the wazoo until then. Then only 1 class left, ever!

**Gitsplitta**

That's exciting WM! I remember that feeling... then I decided to go to graduate school... then I went again after that... (glutton for punishment I guess).

**whalemusic360**

Might do Masters eventually, but not right now. Time to become a contribution member of society. Oh, and make way more money

I quite like the idea of either a (wounded) member of the Dark Anges, or a Space Puppy. it's all about establishing working relationships .
in return, I'm quite happy to make whatever you want on the same sort of size/budget. As i've said, i've got orks, SM and some guardsmen.
Perhaps a crippled marine pinned under the body of a dead ork? or a marine injured salvaging kit from a downed heavy weapons guardsmen (sometimes you just need a flamer to get the job done) etc. any ideas you have feel free to suggest, and i'll see what i can do.
Raith

I'm also happy converting bits and pieces, i've currently got a "communications" mast that would be easy to slap on to a base with a marine who's been downed guarding it and needs a revive, etc.
I could paint up marines from the Boreal Templar, or Blood Dragons, as well as Tau guardsmen, or Chaos guardsmen (nothing better than someone who has denounced the emperor to stir up the wrath of the marines eh?)
I could also have a go at making some long lost relics if you'd want?

Man I loved that feeling, even better when you're all done! Now just to find a job.

Take your time tho bro, I'm in no rush

**1-i**

Up for trade, one space marine with chainsword plasma pistol and possibly has been blessed by the pope himself (no not really). Obviously this guy is painted and ready to ship but Im in no rush to disown him so anyone can claim him and Ill gladly wait to ship.

Close Combat footslogger marine is what Im looking for in return. Of course I have a wish list of Members Id like to offer trades with right now but most seem busy with other trades, massive threads, school, or something else. All other but Grudz, "Hey Grudz wanna trade some marines?"

@Dantay Painting has started on your marine
@Lorna We seem to have lost contact, you ok? check PM box please.

**dantay_xv**

@ Hi, 1-i. I cant wait to see what you have got for me, I apologise as your assault marine has not moved far yet... am popping into gw this weekend to get some legs (could gs a wheelchair or something if you prefer). So watch out at the weekend to see what I have for you. If the assault marine you have there is anything to go by, I am gonna be a lucky boy.

Apologies for the large pics... This is my scout for trade, I have made a wee bit of progress, tidied a few bits up with gs drilled bits out etc. If Thing1 is happy with it so far I plan to tidy up the sword hilt (can change it if he likes) and tidy up the sword arm a bit plus marry up the backpack a bit & finish off the cloak. There is a lot going on and i had considered chucking more on but I think it would get too busy.

I also considered turning the head to look forwards instead of side on....

Thoughts please, however what Thing1 wants he gets... kapeesh!

**Gitsplitta**

Oh he's gonna go berserk dantay... the sword in the ork head, the mug... the cloak. His 10-year-old head is going to levitate and spin!

Might be tomorrow before I can show it to him but I'll let you know as soon as I do.

Well done my friend...
Gits

**dantay_xv**

No worries.... Does his first name start with a B? I had considered giving him a dwarf pipe but thought that was a bit excessive

**Gitsplitta**

Nope. LOL! Just a bit, but I bet he'd still think it was cool...

**dantay_xv**

Will work on the cloak and bits to get it ready, gonna gs the ork jaw to make it a bit more natural (also helps keep the model stable). Hope you dont mind it being a Bad Moon Ork head

**Gitsplitta**

No man, are you kidding?? That'll make it all the more juicy and exciting for him as he'll be rubbing it in my face every time he fields the figure (which you understand will be every battle from now until the end of time... cheeky bastard).

**dantay_xv**

Do Orks bleed red or green? Some say green as because of the skin colour.... however I heard it was red because its hard to do a good green blood on green flesh (also pink gums).

**Gitsplitta**

Mine bleed red, so if that's your intention... red is your color.

**dantay_xv**

I was just curious in general, as with all my characters I like to put a wee trophy with them, so if I have a bit of Ork then I know what to paint the viscera.

Hey your avatar has gone back to the Splitta himself!

Will pin the legs through the cork for more stability and pva everything down for now, then do the tidying up bits.

If he asks what the b on the mug stands for its (root/ginger) beer

**Gitsplitta**

LOL! Got it! He'll be delighted... no worries.

**Howard A Treesong**

Some people are really pulling out the stops with some of these, dantay_xv's space wolf looks mad, I hope it gets a good home.

Perhaps I should put my mind to something, I'll have to find a Marine first... I would do either Blood Angels because I have bits from the Sanguinary Guard that would look smart, or I'd do a really obscure chapter.

**dantay_xv**

Go obscure... break the mould. I dare you. Double dare even

Oh no not the dreaded Rainbow Warriors hehehe!!!

@Howard A Treesong: I looked in your gallery, your fantasy stuff is amazingly well painted. I think if you turned your hand to doing some space marines, (maybe you do, I just havent seen the pictures) they would look really nicely done.

**Killamop**

Minor update, the boy is almost ready to be painted. just needs to be based now.

I need to decide on a colour scheme, help?

**-Cypher-**

I've taken up the challenge with 1-i! Start your engines cuz here we go...

It's your choice! I decided to make your boy with a blue color.. may tweak it, but this is your chance to try a paint scheme you've wanted to! Surprise me!

**Gitsplitta**

Hey dantay! Got the word from thing 1...

"Wow, that is SO cool! I am SO gonna show that off! I am SO gonna kill things with it!

:-)

**BishopGore**

PICTURE-POCALYPSE!

With the Royal Wedding in the background I managed to get plenty done. All very uplifting for our country, but I could hear it all just fine, didn't need to look!

First, for polyd8, your master of the Forge is approaching completion. I have made a Conversion beamer which I think is rather fun.

And for andain, your bolter marine is coming along well. I have a lot of work to do to make him worthy of your Fist marine, but as a start I'm quite happy. The arm with the bolter and the backpack are not yet attached, so I will be able to do a good job on the chest and back.
