Darkstarsabre those are cool looking marines, both chaos and loyal. I love the name, "extinction angels". I may use that, if that's okay with you?

You certainly can.

What's better is that they're both 'official' Chapters. They just don't really appear anywhere. I think the Paladins have appeared in maybe 6 places and the Extinction Angels in only 2.

Hey everybody, been awhile since i last posted, Im looking to paint something for someone, Im looking for a plastic Grey Knight painted with bleached bone and highlighted with skull white. I have a GREAT deal of Chaos SM to trade. Marines, bezerkers, possesed, and others. Shoot me a PM if your interested.

Njal! He is looking the business!! Can't wait to get him heading up one of my squads!!! I hope to get some more work done on yours today!

BBL and WM your packages went out this morning. Should see something within the next few days

Hey Njal! I have an update for you! taking a break whilst the washes dry!!! Hope you like! After i get this one finished up i'd be up for trading with any one else!!!

How funny, yours went out this morning too.

Same as yours gits

I think that this thread/idea is awesome.
So I'll post here. Does anyone want to trade?

I've been working on a rogue trader's entourage. Here are some examples of the models in the force. The minis come from all over and are mostly converted.

I have old rt beakies and other assorted things to paint up in trade.

Great stuff ctown! Love those old models and excellent paint jobs!

Thank you very much Gits. It was your Tranquility Sniper conversions that caught my eye and brought me to this site initially.

I'm flattered. Glad to have you aboard. My que is pretty full, but once I get caught up I'll trade with you!

(that might take a while)

All-righty then.... here we have a couple of beautiful plasma gunners from Whalemusic360, based up Gitsplitta style...

First, plasma gunner for my son's Doom Eagles.



Next, a plasma cannoneer for my Inquisitional Squad.



Do we have names for these guys WM?

I didnt have any, but could make some up if you'd like. Did the big purity seal break off of the Tac Marines backpack? You may want to use a micro pen to give the Plasma Cannon dude a pupil, I wasn't brave enough to try with a brush. Which reminds me, do you have a link to the type of pens you use? I'm sure its on your thread, but dont want to dig thorough the 153 pages.

Very nice. Particularly fond of the bases - the pose and paintjob works well with them too!

Tonight I'll aim to get WIP photos up of the Imperial Paladin I'm working on for Njal the Weatherman!

As promise.

WIP for Veteran Brother Anton of the Imperial Paladins (for Njal the Weatherman)







Going to clean up bits and then start working on him, probably at the Weekend.

i got progress updates for darkstarsabre andniallkissick!
I been hard at work with that blood angels sergeant (pictures on me pm blog if you want to look at more than the front!)
and star dark i got you guy based and assembled and will be primed later tonight

To everyone else i still got more working room so let me know if you want to swap!

Wow, there's some very nice mini's flying around at the moment

Not had a lot of hobby time recently, which puts a huge dent in my already sloth-like pace, but here's a little something..


Gits/Thing#2 :



Marine and gaunt in basic poses.



And roughly in their 'we want to be together' pose. Was happier with the marine's kneeling leg before I put the 2 guys together, I was going for a 'losing balance but not quite down' look, but it just looks awkward with the gaunt on top of him. I could put something under the knee, but I'll try straightening the right arm first, try and make it look like he's putting the hand out to stop himself going over.
I'm going to have a go at painting him as a Tranquility sniper, was thinking of having a 'sniper' bolter with the barrel cut off by the 'nid, but can't see where you'd be able to put it on the base and look right.

graven :



Got some colour down on da Tek-Masta, needs a bit more, then some tidying then some weathering. Still thinking about the weathering, may go back to hand-painting all the chips on small bits like the legs and armour.


And there's some bubonic brown gone on most of two BloodFists for WM.

Alright well just to let you guys know i got niallkissick's Marine done, pics on my thread if anyone interested!
Working on Darkstarsabres to, expect pictures soon
Also i got one marine up if anyone wants to swap me! it can be any chapter you guys request if anyone is curious!

Those are looking great Monkeytroll... love the way the fit together.

Excellent job on the grot mek!

Here are the bits I've selected for vent's marine. This will be another vanguard prototype for my army. (I love that the GMS allows me to test out all these theories without committing to anything sight-unseen for my army.)

Progress on endtransmission's counts-as Straken, just first set of colours, but still, actual progress!


And an early WIP of gitsplitta's Weeping Angel, Brother Draven:



More pics on the blog.

Progress on vent's Mantis Warrior vanguard...

Since I haven't heard from a while about my other swap going on (lol) I thought I'd put myself out here for another swap.

Anyone can PM me if they want and we can work out the details.

Finally finished the pad and basing for a really nice marine painted by Battle Brother Lucifer.

Hey BBL, you got a name and chapter for this guy?

I'll get back to you on the chapter, but his name is Vuras

Have a name for the plasma gunner?

Edit: 3000th post. Wish I did something cooler

Calephon (pronounced with a "K")

Don't forget...if you have a marine that wants a backstory and play a part in an epic struggle for survival, check out the Great Marine Swap Fiction Thread where I will chronicle the exploits of your marines within the annals of this work!

P.S. That means I am running out of marines!

WarOne writes great fiction, I highly approve!

Great stuff as always, indeed. I'm doing a DW Weeping Angel for gits btw, Br Draven, love to see him get stuck in! Knightley and myself are also talking GKs just now, I'll let you know how that turns out...

Quick Progress! update here,
niallkissick i got your marine and done and cleaned up and im ready when you are!

Also Darkstarsabre, i got you marine in the early stages of painting development and got a pic on my PM blog,

and im also open to any other trades if any one is interested!

WIP for Njal there. Nice WIP on yours too. This is of course about a third through on the blue. Have to do a fine highlight of Mordian Blue, wash with ink and highlight again.

@Dantay, I suck. Forgot to send you package some weeks ago, I did send it out today. Sorry about the delay

Not an exceedingly good pic, but here is one of Chrono's GKT that I now have based and guarding the flank of the other gms marines.
