**Knightley**

Matt.Kingsley's GMS marine done and ready to ship

**Moltar**

He looks great, Knightley! Face is spot on.

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

STC and Knightly, I am working more on your guys today and I will hopefully have WIP shots up

Chem, I will be sending your guy soon

everyone else, two things

1. I found a primed but unpainted Sanguinary Guard model, would anyone want me to paint it up for them?
2. Would anyone like a *drumroll* ...... opp RT Thunder Marine with Glaive? I have three of them, and since they are mono-pose, I dont think I'll work all three into my army.

**Knightley**

WIP shots I got to make on the weekend.

Njal's GMS

LDP's GMS

EndTransmissions GMS

BBL's GMS

**Gathering Storm**

Hmmm...

I'm bored with painting set blue and gold a the moment... could do with something fun/random/crazy to paint instead for the benefit of someone else. I can paint all the colours of the rainbow to a half-decent degree (although yellow and white take me A LONG time to get to said level of quality, lots of glazes!

).

Anyway, here are some examples of the work I can produce.

Spoiler:

Also, I usually paint Tzeentchian CSM, so if you REALLY wanted one of them, I might be brought round to paint up yet ANOTHER of them!

**inmygravenimage**

Love that converted interceptor pack, that's genius. What thicknesses of rod/plastruct did you use?

**whalemusic360**

GS is very good, give him a break with some crazy requirement conversions

Is there a shortage of the interceptor packs? Not thinking I'm going to use all of mine.

**inmygravenimage**

Oh, well, if you're offering...

On a separate note, I can't help but be impressed that this glorious beast is nearly at 100 pages! Kudos indeed to WM360.

Oh, and lastly, a pic of the =][= acolyte I got from HowardATreesong:

I'm quite liking the =][= tradering - GIS? - if folk are interested. Lots of conversion potential...
Callidus I did for llamahead:

Older pic/fig, but you get the gist.

Given that Knightley has posted a WIP shot of my marine (who's looking great btw!) I thought it was only fair to post a WIP shot of his in return

He's a basic tactical marine who will, eventually, have an auspex in his other hand. I won't be sticking the other arm on until after he's been painted. I also need to finish constructing a rock under his left leg

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Graven, would you be interested in doing a =][= Vinidicare sniper for me?

not sure what you would need in return but let me know and I'll see if I can whip you up something good

been a bit busy with essays and papers guys, *should* have wips up soon!

**Knightley**

I redid Endtransmissions GMS as I wasn't happy with it.

**Chemical Cutthroat**

That book on his pack could be a power weapon itself.

**endtransmission**

You're right, it does

It would be a nice head for an Inquisitorial Thunderhammer.
"And lo. The book did smiteth him so"

**inmygravenimage**

^Oh, I'm so thieving that!
@BBL: Yup, no probs. I had a rummage in my bits box this morning and found the snipery-bits, so assuming I have the DE bits kicking about (or can thieve them from somewhere) I'll get one together for you. As for my end, there's a =][= female acolyte in WarOne's excellent fiction thread:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/362002.page
so maybe something to represent that? I use d-style bases (warmachine style) so I can either send you one or leave her unbased if you'd rather. I'll do your vindicare on a standard gw.

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

My friend recently gave up warhams and gave me his old stuff, and some of it was a box of normal eldar guardians of something, mostly nos

So hopefully I can nab a head and possibly chestplate for. Ill read the thread, does she have a name?

And I'll leave her unbased for you

And if you could a helmeted/ sniper goggles etc head would be preferred to a bare head

**inmygravenimage**

Well, was thinking of something like this, that I did for myself:

The character is Inquisitorial Aide Natalia, an expert tracker and the Inquisitor's right hand. She's supposed to be lethal in hand-to-hand, too.

Cool and the gang,
graven

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Cant see the pic atm, school blocked

But Ill let you know what I think when I get home

Are there any stories that specifically detail her gear? If not, anything specific youd want?

**inmygravenimage**

Dunno, nothing in particular; warrior acolyte I guess. Plasma pistol or combi-weapon maybe? Not like I'm being vague or anything. Hmm.

**endtransmission**

So if I understand what you're looking for, it's an elephant in a tutu armed with a catapult?

**Chemical Cutthroat**

He said combi-weapon... so a catapult with an underslung Melta.

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Ill make her cool

If you upload the pic onto the dakka gallery I could see it

Knightly, putting the finishing touches on your marine tonight, and Im gonna paint everyones at once

**inmygravenimage**

Grand. Tutu's rock!

And...

Turns out i can upload from photo bucket to dakka. Who knew?!

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Looks awesome

Ill get to work on everyones tonight

**endtransmission**

I'd say a catapult is a combi-weapon already. You can fire a multitude of ammunition types from it, hit people with it... or use it as a divining rod

**Sasa0mg**

I wouldn't mind volunteering, though I'm still doing my own marine at the moment

I'd love to have a reason to paint a scout!

But to warn xD I am still learning (re learning)

Examples:

^ Not quite finished yet though ^

**Solar_lion**

Good start.. seem like you are paying attention to detain .. Make sure you post a pic him when you done!

SL

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Ok, Knightley, here is a wip for you

Im not sure where that arm is from, but I have two of them in a bag of bitz I got ages ago, and basically he's doing the Neo hand sign

And graven, I gathered some bits, and since I can't open the prologue of the GMS fluff story cntaining her, I kinda just imagined what a cool =][= aide would look like.

I didn't use a combi weapon because it looked way too big. I read the GK warrior acolyte blurb and it says armed with las pistol, so I went with that. If you cant use her with that weapon combo I can make something else, let me know

**Knightley**

Looks cool BBL, the hand you have there is one of the previous bolter holding hands, now they grasp the bolter, back in the day they palmed it

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Oh, that makes sense. I assumed it was probably for dev weapons or something from way back.

Glad you like him, and though I didnt take a pic of him from behind, he has a CF backpack

I need to add pouches and maybe some nades before I get to painting

**Gitsplitta**

Got this wonderful Sons of Medusa Apothecary by MissDee. Very cool interpretation. I see the tech marine back-pack as a "jaws-of-life" apparatus for getting injured marines out of wrecked vehicles and such.
