@Lenny: Those are really great! That plas is just too funny. Love the work on the sword... wow, I can just never get that effect right.

@graven: That would be really great. We haven't even tried to paint the chapter symbol on Thing 1's guys... not even sure if I've ever see the chapter symbol. If it works for you, can you send us an extra copy? I'll try to press mold it on our end so we can add it to the rest of his marines.

There used to be a game for the N64 called Turok: Dinosuar Hunter. First game I got for the system. Was pretty much awsome.

You're marine is actually a sergeant Sage, he's equipped with a power weapon and bolt pistol. The dude isn't sent yet so I can whip up a bolter marine if you really want. If you get a few sergeants you could just have them leading squads as 'instructors'.

no i have no issue with that. i think sergs are cooler!! haha i was just wondering since lennysmash asked me for a bolter a while bak, and so i made an assumption.

would you like me to model you a serg marine lennysmash?

im not worried about rules, i can always make it a vet squad

Honestly Sage it's up to you mate, so far including your marine, the squad numbers....1 So you see you have free reign. Like I said in the PM so long as it looks veterany and has character I'll be happy.

Lol, no worries. I have a Demo Hawk Lord for all those that are getting one in trade, I'll get some pics up tonight after work. It's on a black reach guy, but any trades wll not be (unless you really want).

I'm out of several colors for anything but the Hawk Lords, so this week will be all about the purple.

So heres a pic of the Hawk Lord scheme that several of you will be getting. It wont be a Black Reacher, but you get the idea.


Oh, by the way, Ive been working crazy hours (I work at a school, last week till everyone comes back). I'm also out of several paints, which ill be replacing on sunday. And getting little boxes to ship stuff in. Sorry for the delays.

I would really love to participate, but as I live on Iceland, I hardly think I can.

If anyone is up for it however, I'm willing to give it a try!

I have only recently started re-repainting my SM's to Salamanders, so I'll put up pictures once I have actually finished one(should be done by tomorrow).

I dont think it will be a problem gretar. We have a few people from the UK and NZ already, so I'm sure if thats not an issue, neither is Iceland. Unless I missed the Cuba/Iceland Treaty of 2007 or something and we cant legally do it.
