That's pretty awesome xD, I don't field a proper SM force, I only have my grey knights and some angry marines o.<'. I might need to think about that before I join in xD

Its all in good fun. Gives you a chance to mock up some cool stuff you might not field usually. Depends on what you and the other chap agree on.

I'm debating on scribbles on all the seals. I typically don't, but that one guy has some wicked huge posters hanging off his right pad... so I may have to make an exception to the rule.

oh, and chem, if you dont want to do scribbles, you can leave it blank for me, I love painting them

especially putting a square of red with a blotch of black in it so it looks like one of those fancy 'start the paragraph' letters

Yeah, but that is a cool fist.

I'll leave off the scribbles then, I'll likely use one of the parchments for something though.

Looks great chief! Yours should be done soon as well, as soon as someone disconnects my Xbox.

Should be this weekend, barring distractions of course.

So I finally broke out of my funk and snapped some pics of the GMS guys I was working on. So rather than ranting, here’s Veteran Sergeant Roreth for Battle Brother Lucifer, and Veteran Sergeant Tek’ar for IceAngel. Both crackshot Sternguard members.

Vet. Sgt. Roreth






Vet. Sgt. Tek’ar








Sorry I snapped the pics at work again. Against the lovely backdrop of dirty notes and my cruddy computer. But! The pics turned out pretty well, all zoomin’ in and stuff.

Hope you guys enjoy! Send me the PM’s about how to get em’ to you.

Hit me up after Adepticon if you want to do a swap as well. My boys could use more green.

You're on my short list, but I have 3 very old trades to make good on first. After Adepticon I'll start working on those and then we can talk. Would love to add one of your marines to my Inquisitional Supplementary Squads.

I asked him that earlier... still no pic.

At the moment I just have two tac squads and a few characters... far from an army. I guess it's *legal*, but wouldn't be very effective on it's own.

Thanks, I'm starting to get the hang of this airbrush stuff, I had alot of difficulty holding the stencil, model, and airbrush at the same time, this will be solved soon by a clamp table thing ment for soldering so next time it should be much cleaner
