So I mistakenly clicked on the blog link to take to to page one and noticed a horribly outdated master list. For everyone still involved, post up, or pm me, a quick one liner of your name, location, and usual paint scheme(s).
I know most of us are up for painting about anything, so no real need for that. I also know there are some still interested in trades, but that can't in good conscience take on any at the moment. Feel free to still post, but note that and I will color code your name.

Marginally better, coffee-fuelled pics:

I went for battle damaged; I've also tried some OSL glow on the jet pack. No sure how successful either were, tbh, but it's all a learning process, right?
Later,
graven.

**WarOne**

Oh wow...looks really nice!

I am also looking for more marines for the Great Marine Swap Fiction. It's no fun if all the same old marines get to do all the most awesome action!

**inmygravenimage**

^Thanks buddy.
Some work: BBL's finished Vindicare.

Not a great pic might try for another. But, happy with the fig. More/better pics in my blog.

And some wip-age on =][= for WarOne, using an old confrontation mini:

That's me up to date with gms I think, or at least will be once Heth Fenrix is done - though do correct me if I'm wrong, and pm your addresses accordingly! I'm still up for more gms-ing, in fact I have a guy I'm quite eager to paint up, perhaps as a page 100 special - the last of the Star Scorpions...

Lmk,
graven

**Flying Pooo**

Is anyone up for doing a swap with me?

Graven?

I'm in the process of making an Angel of Absolution, it's a practice mini that I'm painting before I attempt to paint my Golden Daemon Entries.
So rest assured it's going to be awesome....

**inmygravenimage**

I'd be thrilled buddy. I am nowhere in your league but delighted to gms with you!

Speaking of which, Heth Fenrix now has base colours and a new (well, old actually) base. Want to work crons in there somehow but not sure?

**Flying Pooo**

Nowhere in my league?
If anything I thought I was nowhere near your League...

So, yes I'd be delighted too.

I have just blu tacked him together now, but here is a WIP of your Marine.

So which pose do you like more?

The 'come at me bro' pose...

Or this Aiming and shooting pose.

Are there any other preferences you have? Basing? Shoulder pads? Anything else?

And sorry for the late reply mate...

**inmygravenimage**

Kewl. He's very gk, or at least how I build gk - me gusta. That loadout has quite an =][= feel to it. Pointing up arm, pointing down sword maybe? As for basing I use ds bases so either unbased, on a topper or I'll send you one for him. I go urban, normally. Gosh, I sound very demanding! Maybe a DW pad for the other shoulder as I'll probably count him as a =][=, or some tasty scrollwork maybe? Your choice really.

Last night's progress:

I'll be breaking out the dark green tonight for the mentor helm on the base and to start the Star Scorpion. You happy for him to be urban based btw?

**Knightley**

Endtransmissions GMS done

More pics over at my blog

**Gitsplitta**

Sweet. Just love the reversed blade and the pose. Looks like he really means business.

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Ok, very very early wip for graven

Im not really set on the boot color, I wanted to change it from black to break up the color, but I think the brown looks kinda weird

suggestions? also, the only colors (minus the bleached bone) are the base layers

**inmygravenimage**

Bbl: that looks very tasty indeed. Lmk when you get your dude btw.
WarOne's =][= is done but I need to break out my camera for decent pics. 2nd stage green (Vgc sick green), 2nd stage white and first stage reds done on flying Pooo's Star Scorpion

graven

**Gitsplitta**

Oh, he's magnificent graven... well done lad!

**Sasa0mg**

good to see these are still going x3 I'm game if anyone would like a Swap, some pics of my painting ability xD

Spoiler:

**inmygravenimage**

Thanks gits, I'm very chuffed with how he's progressing.

Finished Heth Fenrix for WarOne, for all his amazing work in the fiction thread:

Whoops. Wrong pic!

**WarOne**

Anymore marines to send to a Crusade? Excellent! Send them here for their own fluff stories:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/362002.page

Seriously, I ran out of marines again.

**Matt.Kingsley**

wait, so does then maker of the marine PM you, or does the owner?
If maker then I'd be glad for the marine I'm making for glomscient to be added, when I've finished it (modeling wise)

Completely optional to join! PM me with any model you have or have sent!

I thank Knightley for his recents sends. I'll get some stories up on them once I get the time to plot out the finale to the Space Marine invasion of a Chaos fortress.

**Flying Pooo**

Here is a long overdue WIP pic of the Angel Of Absolution for Graven.
He's still got a lot of work to go and sadly I haven't had too much time for lately, but I'm aiming to get him finished as soon as I can.

I'm not quite happy with how the bone armour turned out and it was a major pain to paint.
I am really happy with the robe though. There's now brown on it IRL it just looks that way in the pic. IRL the robe has a more subtle effect, but I couldn't get a pic that would do it justice...

Hope you like it so far. Is there anything you want me to change Graven?

**inmygravenimage**

I rather like that fellow! Nice job, like the brown robe a lot. I now have a really great shelf in one of my cabinets of gms marines; he'll be in excellent company! I confess I've not made any progress on your Star Scorpion yet, sorry. Last night basically involved massive amounts of beer.

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Ok Graven, here she is, finished. Well, I still need to finish the gem necklace and put writing on the purity seal, but other than that, finished. Let me know how I did, and if there is anything you see that you feel should be different

and just for fun, your vindy next to my (newest) inquisitor

**Matt.Kingsley**

Knightly, Glomscient, I'm now waiting to get some more plastic glue

**inmygravenimage**

@BBL - I love her - she's freakin' awesome! And I advise your =][= to watch his back. I'll pm you my addy.

**Gitsplitta**

Nice work BBL!

Okay, having gotten settled down post-Adepticon, I would like to open myself up for abuse...err.. Marine swaps! Yeah! Pictures of my Adepticon-level painting are in my gallery and plog. I have bits lying around for SM, BA, BT, SW, and DA. Or, of course, custom chapters.

I can handle two GMS requests at a time, to maintain my sanity.

You are wise my friend... I'm still digging my way out of the GMS hole.

**Gitsplitta**

Here's a beautiful Imperial Fist (I think) that I traded with weety for. Nice job weets, going to be a find addition to my Inquisitional Supplemental Forces. Not exactly a by-the-book GMS trade bit it was the result of a trade *and* it's a marine... so I think it counts!

**Knightley**

GMS for Njal the Weatherman done

More pictures over on my blog.

**Gitsplitta**

Beautiful work. Love what you've done with the face plate and glaive.

**IceAngel**

Here is my marine for Chemical. Brother Venthu.
