LOYALIST SCUM!

I wish you luck in your endevours, though.

What charity are you planning on giving hte money to?

Haha
Sorry dude but we cant have any TRAITORS in our midst

Regarding the charity not 100 percent sure yet but was thinking of something to do with the forces or a childrens charity
Was also thinking of giving the winning bidder the choice of where the money should go

Thanks bro

Just an update I have ben snowed under with work and am now going skiing for a week but I will have my Shrike model done by about the 4th of March if that will still be in time?

@ smurf: I like your suggested charities but think it probably should be the winning bidder's choice. I think it'll actually score more interest that way. Also, sorry for being rubbish and not sending Blink yet!

Yeah i think you're right mate That is the way to go
The winning bidder will choose the charity

No stress mate....you still have plenty of time

Hey smurfwedge are we going to see the finished ones you have already recieved? You may be waiting to get all the entries for a big impact? How many have you got now?

Can I grab the Sons of Orar? (ultramarines successors)
Unfortunately due to budget restraints, it will only be a tac marine and nothing special,
maybe some minor kitbashing
A rough guide to what it will look like
Thanks,

Aquaterry

I've got another updare on my progress one of the two marines is finished (or at least mostly finished, still got a couple of touchups and higlights on the eyes to do). I tried to take a load of photos but sadly only one came out well.

Here's my take on a Rainbow Warrior:



Smurfwedge I won't send him your way just yet. You'll have to wait until I've painted the Star Dragon, speaking of my second marine would you prefer an urban or grassy base?

Hey Reaper
I will post some pics of the ones I received so far but just been hectic busy
Obviously the huge shot of the whole project will be done as well
So far I have received 4 but I know everyone is working hard to get these across and we still have plenty of time

Hey mate
Looking very good....must admit the rainbow warrior name filled me with trepidation but they turned out sweet

No problem about not sending him yet....sending them both at the same time makes more sense
As for the base that is totally up to you which one you would prefer mate

You shouldn't have worried too much, afterall the Rainbow Warriors are an old established chapter (first appeared in Rogue Trader IIRC).

Yeah, and a great treatment of the hippies!

Progress.



Onto painting!

Nice, got a great pose and I love the old school bolter.

I love this model! I WANT ONE! haha, great stripe, cool stuff!

I am about to build up a model for this project, next set I get, so should have a model (hopefully painted) should be up here in a week or two!

really love this!

btw Briancj, where do you get those awesome boltguns?

Sorry I have been unable to send it but the post office was closed due to a difficulty in my town :(

@ smurf I have lost your address again, mea culpa. Also, have failed to provide you with a Mantis Warrior, just a Weeping Angel alone, alas. Seriously: I rolled a 1 here.

Will you accept a primarch instead of a regular marine ? If you give me until august I should be able to do one of them. I always wanted to build a primarch but I never knew what I would do with one when I was finished.

Sageheart wrote:btw Briancj, where do you get those awesome boltguns?

Alas, they were leftovers from my old-skool ways. I think that's the last one I had in the bitz box. It just seemed appropriate to use it for this guy.

Its a great bolter! It does fit the model as well!

Got my marine all built. Hopefully nick can send it along with his, seeing as he provided the model.

It would be cool to have a Primarch but unfortunately the time limit will not allow us to go through to August
End of April is the deadline for all marines to reach me

Sorry mate

hmmmmm, a challenge I could probbalby get him done by the end of april.

Just a quick post to show my lovely marine.

So you kept the crazy guns akimbo stance then. I can't say I approve of such frivolous use of my bits box.

Couldn't resist any longer as I see others are posting pics of their marines!
So here are some shots of my finished marine!



I hope that is ok Smurfwedge.

If anyone is having trouble painting the DakkaDakka campaign badge I have made this hopefully simple to follow Tutorial


1. Paint a black circle.
2. Paint a yellow square in the centre.
3. Paint a straight black line down the centre of the square splitting it equally in half.
4. Paint a straight black horizontal line about 4/5th of the way up the two rectangles.
5. Paint the two little squares an orange colour.
6. Round off the edges of the two smaller squares then add two yellow lines at the bottom of the two rectangles to make it look more like a bullet.

Here is the finished product.
