No worries, I have been writing my dissertation so have not been able to do anything with anyone's models for a while - hand in is on Monday, so I should be able to finish stuff off and ship next week

**SilverMK2**

Now with 100% more jungle

**Knightley**

I'm doing a GMS with Funkyh

WIP1

**1-i**

That almost looks like the blade from a LibrianFuryDread.

Nice work.

**Gitsplitta**

Hey! Nice to see some action on this blog again!

**1-i**

Speaking of action in the Blog, lets get crazy american dance party time!!

Or I could just reinterject that I have four marine that I can do up for any sort of random trade. I would have made louder and more direct annoucements about this earlier but life happens and sometimes real life is more important than dakka.

I know I have one powerfist and one terminator apoth plus other random bloodangel and grey knight stuff laying about.

So feel free to hit me up with offers, requests or even an overdue cease and maintain 500 yard distance notices.

Finally working on a long-overdue trade with Yggsdrasil. This will be a tranquility pattern, Mantis Warrior vanguard who's gone over to chaos (early on in the process so no real mutations yet... well, almost none... more on that later).

**Knightley**

Another one for one of the Kiwis!

and magnetized backpack

**Gitsplitta**

Hey all!

Still working my way through my back-log of promised marines. Thought I'd post my progress on Yggsdrasil's Tranquilty pattern, chaos turning, vanguard Mantis Warrior. He's not very chaossy, that's on purpose... but he'll get a bit more so as I proceed.

**IceAngel**

Looks awesome Git. Does he have a name yet?

**Gitsplitta**

Just chose one from a list of Roman names. "Manius"

**Ramos Asura**

I really dig the skull helmet.

**Knightley**

Another swap done, this time for lipsdapips

More pics in my blog.

**Moltar**

oops wrong thread

**Knightley**

Proto's GMS done

Normal

And with Jumppack

**IceAngel**

Awesome job Knightley, What is that helm from?

**Knightley**

Cheers Ice, Helm is from the Iron hands upgrade kit, very bionic based kits

**Yellowbeard**

Damn, that's a nice mini, Knightley. Well done!

**Rotgut**

New to the thread and I was wondering if you paint the model the color of someone else's army or do yo just swap one of your own?

**Gitsplitta**

They idea is they make one of their chapter for you and you make one of your chapter for them. Folks usually custom build and paint for each other. It's a great way to push yourself and experiment when you don't have to worry about making a figure that matches the rest of your army perfectly.

**Rotgut**

Ah that's great.

I love painting but I don't really play, so I like the idea of sending off a marine/ork/chaos marine that will get used.

I'm still trying to find a camera so ill try to get a pic up!

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Great models guys, Ive taken a break from warhams and dakka, but seeing all your excellent marines might just pull me back in

**funkyh**

So I had to clear out a lot of private messages, I know I have a deathwatch marine that I made for a competition/weeping angels libby that i am repainting [can't remember for who exactly] and a combimelta PF Sgt for knightly. Can you guys PM me with what we are supposed to be trading? If I remember, another was a veteran with a jump pack if I remember correctly...

Sorry for any delay and the now lost trade details. Just get back to me when you can. I was going to try and knock these trade marines over x-mas break in a few weeks.

**DijnsK**

so im new here and i dont feel like reading through 105 pages but what is this about?

**DijnsK**

interesting... too bad that if i would like to chip in (if possible) shipping to the US or NZ would be like $20...

**Gitsplitta**

Well, you figure it's probably the same for the other guy... so it balances out. You can always limit your requests to Europe... plenty of participants on that side of the pond.

**1-i**

I think Ive only had one trade that wasnt to Europe.

**inmygravenimage**

@funkyh I have a weeper for you
