Wow, nice job there Knightly!
It's been a while since I last ventured in here... it's nice to see everyone is still hard at work with the swaps

Cheers, next up is Ice's GMS WIP 2

before I go and buy anything off ebay, who else would like to swap with me?
I can do up to 4 more eagle paladins

Chaos apothecary for miss dee:



I am a shamefully slow and erratic painter but still up for swapping, for =][=Munda especially. Lmk!
Graven

Beautiful work Knightly! He'll be one of the center pieces of my Adepticon army!

Oh... you need to name him.

WM: I can provide something for vent too.

I forgot to post this here Ice GMS marine done

Among your best. The glow on the icon on his head is stunning.

I'm pretty sure knightly used gold paint for that

@Matt

Chaos apothecary for Miss Dee done!

@graven: Really ferocious looking mini there... nice job man.

I finished the build for Knightley's assault marine. He wanted something with 2 CCWs & a backpack, so I cranked up another double chainsword marine (they just look so impressive). The aim of this pose was to catch him at that moment in time just before he leaps to the attack. One sword is up for defense and as an obvious attention getter, the other is somewhat "hidden" down low so his attacking stroke is harder to detect and counter. So the slight crouch and lean forward is specific to that instant just before he dives into action. Hope you guys (and especially Knightley) like it!

All done. Brother Taki, Chaplain of the Mantis Warriors.



Decided to do the edge highlights in green for the most part, and leave the inside of the wings in shades of grey. The wings, as with the axe are in "powered down" mode, thus are not at the full brightness of normal powered operation, as it's clear Taki is taking a moment to assess the situation and issue orders. The intense lights of my light box make the edge highlights look *really* green. IRL the effect is more subtle. It does turn up the volume of the green ever so slightly though, which is an effect I like quite a bit.

I'll be honest, wish I was keeping this one. Hope it meets with approval, especially from Gathering Storm.

Very nice - is it just me or are you getting both better *and* faster?

Perhaps... but I'm far from a speed painter. Measure my productivity in terms of time away from my family, cloistered in my studio.

That green-black is lovely, really low-key. Sweet!

Need fresh fodder for the Swap Fiction Thread!

Finished an assault marine for Knightley... Brother Ricoh.

Hey gits, Love your eyes, How would you do them in blue?

Great stuff over all keep up the great work !

Haha now that marine has bad posture!! Painting is superb!!

I just use the "black gem technique". vent did a very nice tutorial on it. Look it up in his profile, I think it appears as an article. I'd just put the 'ard coat on before I took the pic, so the eyes will look even better once that's dry.

Oh why not, I’ll throw my hat into the ring!

I’ve been clicking through the GMS since I first stumbled over Dakka, and in my efforts to paint, I can certainly afford to work on something for someone else! Motivation and all that.

So this would be my STILL un-named Chapter of Marines. I’ll post this chap as an example for the rest of ‘em. Maybe this will finally get me to name the flippin’ Chapter…





So feel free to hit me up!

That's beautiful CtC. If I ever get my que cleared (after Adepticon), I'd love to trade.

Let me finish this months trade, and I will certainly happy to trade with you!

Great work there!

I'd say since that looks like a Harp on the standard for that marine, how about the Harps of Discord?

Also, if you need some fiction work on your marines, hit me up and I'll add a few to the Great Marine Swap Fiction Thread or do some freelance work for them.

So.. YES!.. Interesting and things.

Well.. I am not quite sure what I am doing here but I have a quite extensive bitbox and I guess I could whip up something and send it across the globe with ye old mail if someone says pwetty please.. I mean how many bucks can sending a small piece of plastic in a tiny cardboard box cost me? Anywhooo.. I will restrain myself to marine on ye olde foot or some kind of objective marker. ie my terminators and bikes (soon to be jetbikes) are mine, mine and only mine for my long unrealised dark angels army.

So, marine of whatever flavour or chapter, perhaps a tasty objective marker? I however reserve myself against my olde nemesis Yellow, the colour-that-must-not-be-painted. bone, beige, light brown.. no problem. But No YELLOW! *ahem*
Also, 'can I have a tactical marine' won't cut it. I want a good concept, something interesting. Perhaps a somewhat scenic and dynamic model, a little challange.

Why do I get the creeping feeling that any second now.. Alpharius will do the internet equivalent of a bodyslam and poke me relentlessly to make him an artscale alpha legionnaire...

This is some of my work for reference, My Alpha legion and Astral Claws projects. (Eldar displayed as painting reference only, no eldar minis avalible for trade/ gifting/ lighting on fire)

Stunning work STC. Folks will be lucky to get a trade with you!

I try.

I usually would call myself a modeller first, (tragicly without much greenstuff skillz) painter sec.. no wait.. fluff-natzi first, painter sec.. and.. no .. wait.. Noone Expects the Swedish Inquisition!!! Our chief weapons are cheap furniture! International bikiniteams! a quite encompassing social security system and a suprisingly advanced and extensive weapons industry!

... what was i saying again? eeeeh..

Definitely looks good!

Let me know if you need fiction stories!

@ Gits - I'd be up for a trade as well! Just a heads up though, this is Chem, not CtC... having too Cutthroats that tend to frequent the same places is bound to get confusing!

@ Whalemusic - Just lemme know!

@WarOne - Oooh... I like that name. I'll file it away! I have no idea why this group has gone on so long without a name. I think it's partially because the scheme itself is very heavily influenced by my local pub and my drink of choice. Err... long story. But I definitely think you're on to something. I'm gonna buckle down and get my thinking cap on.

@STC - I've admired that beautiful Alpha Legion for a while now. I'm gonna have to shoot you a PM for sure.


IceAngel and BBLucifer already hit me up, so I'm gonna go have a chat with them... might even get painting tonight! This is definitely a fun way to sharpen up my paintbrush and get motivated!

((It might even pull me away from ME3! *gasp!*))
