Nice one HamHam

By Russ the space Wolves are now taken


With regard to basing i think you can add any detail you want as long as the basic colour/idea is the same
Poll is up but please anyone who wants a base scheme added to the poll please post

I'm going for a standard Grass/Sand effect as everyone knows how to do it and it would be easy to standardise.

add +1 for the Grass and Sand Effect

i think its just as easy as urban, but looks much nicer with most of the chapters.

do you mind if i spread the word about this on other forums as well?

Please do mate

The more people that take part, the more interesting it will be

It will also bring more people to Dakka if they already arent on

I think this is a fantastic idea! Let me see if I've got the parts to make an SM (current type) in my bits box and I'll get back to you via PM with my custom chapter.

Can I claim dibs on the Imperial Fists?

HF Izanagi - Sweet mate. I look forward to the PM (Im sure they will be a marine floating around somewhere in your bits box)

geordie09 - Welcome mate. Imperial Fists are yours

Vote for (ruined) urban.

I second (third!) the call for Urban. My Salamanders don't really make it around any worlds that are still alive, and this guy will be part of my WIP army.

Votes added guys

Ill fourth Urban bases. Great idea

Ill post some pictures of my marine submission tomorrow

He wont be finished completely but I just want to get a few pictures up so that this project blog will get updated on the Dakka home page and hopefully bring in more people for this.

14 Chapters added in just over a day. Really good start to this project!!!

I vote Urban Basing

Free reign to paint whatever marine I fancy....... Excellent I'm thinking a mail order is required.

Peter

I vote Urban too but I really don't mind at all what we end up with! I'll spread the word to some mates and see if they want to take part as well.
PDH I really like your marine, it will be a great addition to the group to have one in those colours!

Urban every time. I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest a SHORTER timescale - get everyone while they're still focused. Also, I bet many of us can beg a bit of painting over Xmas as an impromptu present. How about Valentine's Day as a deadline?

Votes added

As for the timescale. We can make it shorter but im just trying to get as many people to participate as possible and while we already have 14 obviously it would be good to have a lot more.
Hopefully when i post pictures of some of my marines in a few minutes it will get onto the Dakka project homepage and generate some more interest

Would everyone be happy with a Valentines day deadline

Yes defo, i'd be happy with a new year deadline!

Valentines day sounds good

-GM

Just testing a post of a picture as Ive never done one before haha
Not the greatest picture quality

Also please dont judge this too harshly as this was done 10 years ago when I first started 40K

This is a picture of my Grey Apostles 3rd Company Captain



As for the time frame

We also have to keep in mind the guys posting a marine from other parts of the world which can take a while in itself

Maybe Valentines Day for a cut off for new submissions and then this will only go on Ebay and complete the project once all the Chapers have been received by me from their various regions

Sound good?

Yep!

This will be my contribution to this project

Base still needs to be done and need to maybe touch him up a bit

i like the sound of this. can i do dark angels? and i vote for the sand/ grass base.

Of course mate

Dark Angels are yours

Welcome

This is quite the menagerie here as ham ham took my wolves I will choose the boys in blue.

Sorry about that mate

The Blue Boys are yours

I'm going to vote for Sand and Grass, and I don't have any Urban basing stuff on hand.

Edit: Valentines Day sounds workable, but for inclusions sake, I'd go with longer over shorter.

Ok i reckon the time limit we can sort out later but maybe ure right a little longer might be necessary

I think posting wise, when you are done with your models, PM me and i will send each person individually my postal address
Dont want to really post my address on an open forum

Regarding the basing i think this cold be an area of contention so I reckon that since we are almost split down the middle between grass/sand and urban, I reckon we will go with those 2 ideas and you can choose which one of these you want to do

id be up for doing a raptor legion marine

Welcome mate

Raptor Legion is added for you

I'll join in on this.

Chapter name: Marines of the Order of St. Dylan

I'll do up a Rogue Trader marine. Similar to these guys

I think you may have seen this thread, by porkuslime where he was doing an all volunteer deathwatch army. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/307185.page

Anyhoo, I'd be up for painting a marine for charity.
