Aww missed it, I couldn't front a land raider personally anyway, I'm not sure I still have one anymore o.O

But I'm still up for marine swaps, interested in larger then marine swap but I'd like to try and avoid huge tanks xD

Hey, for my 101 page challenge Id like to paint up THREE land speeders for someone. Thats right, three

Ive been trying to get rid of them for forever, and rather than just sell them ive decided to lovingly fix them up and paint them for a GMS swap, anyone up for it?

(If not, I still have quite a few marines etc to swap, including 5 new PAGK I got from a trade)

So, I've set up a swap with Battle Brother Lucifer - Blood Angel Vet for Crimson Fist Vet.

Here's the WIP of theBlood Angel (or at least my successor version) Vanguard Veteran (though he'd make a viable Tactical Sergeant too)...

The Basic Model:


WIP painting...





Cheers Laney

Looks great so far, I will be starting yours this weekend

Graven, I finally got the time to finish her up, so sorry for the long wait, and she should be shipped any day now

Very nice marine 02... excellent work.

Thanks guys, I've been painting while my wife watches Eurovision on the telly. Here is the (almost) finished Angel... There are one or two tweaks left to do.







He's called Brother Novo (which was the closest to 'swap' I could find in Latin - means change)

Cheers
Laney

@ Laney: wow, lovely job, nice rich orangey-red. Welcome, also, to this hive of insanity.

@BBL: don't sweat it bro. I'm afraid your Star Scorpion hasn't moved forward any of late as I'm kinda snowed under with marking (exam season) and will be for the next couple of weeks. Maybe get some paint time over the Jubilee weekend though, ok?

Been meaning to toss my hat in the ring ever since this thread started

I have a few spare marine bits floating around and am an average painter, so if someone wants to do a swap, that would be fine. Not looking for anything in particular (as my SM are truescale), so anything fun, like scouts, objective markers, servitors/advisors/wound markers/etc would be cool

Some pictures:

Ooh, plaguey

I got some paint time; he's not quite done (eyes, writing), but still happy to show progress and get C&C:

For Njal the Weatherman... Plague Angel Brother Noxus from the Dornian Heresy. He is a Death Company equivalent, with possessed (power) sword and toxin projector (hand flamer) The chains are to represent how he is held when not killing/infecting loyalists.

Head from Maxmini, vomit spray from Heresy, the rest is GW possessed or Death Company.





C and C on both the marines is always welcome!

@SilverMk2: I might be up for a swap after I've done these two.

Cheers Laney

I've always wanted to do a Dornian army. Maybe for Adepticon at some point. Looks very cool.

I'm loving that Star Scorpion marine Graven, really top notch stuff. That means I'm going to have to pick up my game a little when painting your GMS Marine. I Don't have much spare time as of late, mid year exams and all, but I'll try to make some progress as soon as I can.

Nice stuff there 02Laney that's one busy Plague Angel.

And SilverMK2 you mentioned something about objective markers?
I'd definitely be up for that. I LOVE Objective Markers! It'd just have to be a while before I have much time to start on it.

Sure, just PM me whenever you are ready Flying Pooo and Laney (and anyone else who is interested in doing a swap).

Wow graven... that's a crakin' good marine. Your painting has really improved as of late!

Graven, you traded me the vindicare, if you want to give me a star scorp I guess thats up to you

I'll have her shipped tuesday, because post is closed today and tomorrow

Cool Star Scorpion Graven. The guy has the look of a veteran who's wearing armour he's been fighting in for quite some time. The power sword is really nice (a 'molten' sword makes a nice change from lightning blue). The hair has been done really well too.

Thanks guys for all the support! Now who the devil do I owe this guy to ?! I'm very happy with the sword, a new direction based off an old idea. Glad the hair's a hit! Wanted an old wild man thing. Gits, your words are most kind - further pics will be up in my blog anon.

Wait - is he for you, Pooo?

Yeah, I think so...

Kewl.


Possibly (probably?) final paint:

wow, he looks awesome really like the dark eyes

Very nice marine - the red skulls shouldn't work for me - but they look very effective.

Here's a plague angel update... The gloss is due to the new GW washes being a tad glossy (I'll dullcote all but the vomit)...





Lots still to do, but I'm quite pleased with how he's working out.

Cheers Laney

Thanks guys! Laney, the lighting on the rear shot really shows the fig off well; can we get another shot front-on? Looks ace though. Also - watered down vomit? Ew...

No worries Graven, here's the front shot...



Cheers Laney

Definitely better - illustrates the colour contrasts much more clearly. Nice job!

Graven, been busy with work, I should make it to the post friday or saturday, thanks for being patient

Laney, your model is highlighted and, other than a few more details and an ink wash, done. No pics yet, maybe friday

Cool, look forward to it Lucifer.

Laney, I was a bit busy by I managed to get this far, here are some far-in wip shots




let me know what you think

The one that's in focus... I really like! Great job BBL, keep it up!

Thanks Gitz. Im sorry for the blur, I took them fast because I felt like I should show progress before going to bed

Face looks especially good
