For cauterizing wounds or BURN THE HERETIC!!!!!!

**Knightley**

Burn indeed

Next up is Whale's marine, not as grandiose as the others due to a hurring great plasma cannon blocking everything, but I'll see what a lick of paint can do to spruce him up after some small adjustments to loose hanging plastic.

**Matt.Kingsley**

A Hunter Eagle assault marine, hey?
I can certainly do that!
But what style?
Normal, Eagle Paladin or Feral?
All are/can be loyal

But just a small note, Eagle Paladins will be the quickest to do, on terms of getting the right bits.

**Knightley**

I'm not sure what the difference is between them all, care to detail?

**Matt.Kingsley**

Normal are basically your stock standard marine
Feral are like space wolves, but with a more eagle theme
Paladin are, as the name suggests, more knight-like and pure

**prototype_X**

Alright im in. I have lamenters, Pics in blog, link in sig

**Knightley**

PM sent Proto,

Tonight got a bit done on M.K's GMS

**Matt.Kingsley**

I am pleased

Perfect pose!

**Knightley**

Next up is Prototype's GMS marine as a dry fit

**Matt.Kingsley**

Where'd you get the helmet from?

**Knightley**

It's from the devastator sprue IIRC

**prototype_X**

Wow, hes really nice. Exactly what I wanted. I love the eliite feel of hime. Its great

Now my turn, bacpack and pads had to stay off due to balance issues.

also, what should I do with the bolt pistol? the holster dosent fit and it looks silly mounted on the wrist, maybe the backpack?

**Knightley**

Maybe have it on the other side attached to the thigh plate? the guy looks amazing by the way!

**whalemusic360**

Or lower leg shin plate? Like an ankle holster.

**J-paint**

Or perched on top of his head? precariously? ...sorry, no, i'm putting my vote in for the backpack as well.

Just realised this is my first post on this thread, i've been lurking for a while now, might consider getting involved, we will have to see =]

**prototype_X**

hmm, Alright, I shall get some pics of the backpack, and you can see what you think.

@knightley, so you like him? anything you want added or changed before I glue?

**Gitsplitta**

Finally made progress on Gathering Storm's Mantis Warrior Chaplain. Pads are on now & he's ready for painting!

**Knightley**

That Chaplain looks pretty awesome.

I finally got to slap some paint on Git's GMS, Pic taken after I put the wash on, so it looks a little damp (don't worry about the robe, I plan on bringing it up to a warm bone color)

**Gitsplitta**

I'll be starting yours very soon Knightly... in a week I'd guess. I need to have it ready so we can swap before Adepticon as I'll need your apoth by then.

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Does anyone want assault marines? I have a ton of them that I dont want and would love to paint up for someone

15 of em

If people want one Id be willing to split them up, or if anyone wants to do a unit (or something else) for them all (or however many they need in a unit) Im game

I paint Crimson Fists (pics in gallery) Salamanders (pics on request) or a custom chapter (half silver half crimson). I can also paint them up in any scheme anyone wants

Also, I have 3 landspeeders I have yet to finish building or start painting so if anyone wants one or all of those bad boys lemme know

**whalemusic360**

I am putting out the call to my fellow gms-ers. One of us is in need.

Mother Frakkers people... Mother frakkers suck... Big time... Got home on Wednesday night and found a window open. They'd pried it open and gotten inside. The good news is that the alarm did its job and went off pretty quick meaning they got out without too much stuff.

Now I can hear some of you asking, why is he putting this on his blog, while sad it's not exactly what you'd call painting news. Well the room they broke into was my painting room, and while the miniatures might be heroes and villains of various shapes, sizes, genders and universes; alas they fared poorly against the aggression of trespassers... I've now got minis in various stages of development, some finished, broken, some are snap jobs, but others have been... Attacked... Almost look they've been stomped on... One of the biggest kickers are my brushes. I get attached to brushes and take a lot of care with them, they've been scattered across the room, some snapped, all damaged in some way...

Now to anyone who has read my previous post regarding why we paint you'll know how I feel in regards to seeing a miniature destroyed. It is a mind numbing pain... More so than having my camera, compressor and airbrush stolen. To say this hurts your motivation to paint is an understatement... That is all. I hope to paint something, but truth be told I really don't feel like it...

This is just frakked up and I am unhappy... :(

Now I say we come to his side as a friend and supply hm with a fresh force of marines. I have one I've been trying to figure out what to do with, now I know. If folks Want to send to me I will get them to vent. I expect nothing in return except a return of his motivation.

**inmygravenimage**

Damn right. Count me in.

**Knightley**

I'm more than happy to help out a fellow Kiwi, let me know what you plan on doing and I'll do my part.

**1-i**

So if I go and buy some random brushes this weekend where would I send them?

**whalemusic360**

You can send em my way and I can put them with marine I send.

**Solar_lion**

I'm in. I'll get some stuff in the mail this weekend. PM me with requests. I'm drowing in marines!

**Knightley**

Posting an update for Git's GMS, I got quite a bit done actually. He's about 90% done

**inmygravenimage**

Wip for vent. There are so many pins in this thing he could be mistaken for an arthritic 83-yr old.

Debating using a Sanguinary Wing as a shield on the combi-plasma arm - too much, or cool?

**Knightley**

My first GMS marine is completed

**Arakasi**

Very nice Knightley!
