@1-i ; I'm down for a swap! I'll send you a pm so we can work out the details.

@Git ; I love him! Have you given him a name? I really like his gangsta look!

@Red Skullz ; I saw a similar paint scheme in the SM codex, but with different colors. It looked really cool, so i figured now would be a good chance to try it out. It's pretty tricky to get clean, even lines, but it looks really nice when done! If I say so myself.

I haven't actually. I was going to give him something kinda rapper-like but to be honest that's not my genre so I'm not sure what's appropriate. I'd be open to suggestions if anyone had any good ideas. My early MW's all have Roman sounding names... so if someone could use that as a base I think it would be the most fitting and funny. "Brother Jazzy-Julius" perhaps??

I'm up for a bit of gms-ing generally, I'm after some deathwatch if folk are so minded, especially devastators to go with the one I'm getting from the mighty gitsplitta. I'll happily build and paint up GKs, mentor legion, weeping angels, or any requests really. Pics in blog and so forth.

@Patmandute, PM resent

@Red Skullz Chosen can be done, Im always happy receiving another death company bullet shield, I mean fresh victim, err tactical asset. Frankly anything fun.

@Graven I might be able to come up with a devestator or at the very least a suicide squader for the DC, plus I can send some of the stuff I got after I piece up Pats and Reds

Hey guys.
Some of you know me from the forums, yet some of you may not. I have been lurking on this thread for an awfully long time now, I just love it! the whole dynamic and principle behind it, it's fantastic. Here is my predicament.
I would love to get a piece of the action but unfortunately I haven't painted much so have no pictures to show off any work I have previously done.
I don't have the greatest of skills when it comes to painting neither, I have most certainly improved over the little painting I have done, but I'm not very good so you would have to bear with me.
My bits box has pieces, but not loads, nor do I have plenty of items around so again you'd have to bear with me.
This is all bad seeing as I would like a piece of the action and I'm sure I may very well be denied a slice of it until I had examples of work, more pieces and such but I would love to have a go, I would give it my all and try my best to get the appropriate pieces.
So, if anybody is willing to give this budding novice a chance please send me a PM. I'll be as co-operative as I can be.

graven... I find your new avatar disturbing.

@crimsonfist: Why don't you cobble something together and paint it up? Sound like you would benefit from the practice and then people can see what you do.

Hey Gits. To be frank I'd love to but at the moment the only stuff I have going are Forge World resin armours (for example I am attempting to build my test model for my new D.I.Y. Chapter) but I've got no super glue so at the moment that's a bit of a block on my plans. I'll rummage a bit and try and look. Think I might try and finish my DV Cultists because I have already done a couple of them anyway.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Well Gits, after your advice I done a bit of digging and actually unearthed these old things.

This is, well was, a W.I.P Termie from Space Hulk that I was painting. Not the best seeing as it's W.I.P but I couldn't find the one that was done and it's better than nothing right? Gives you a small insight into what I can do.


Alpha Legion cultists from DV. Here's a champion, one of the standard cultists and a W.I.P one which lies almost finished inside of my army box.

@Crimson, I'm game for a trade once you get set up and considering I have three trades set up from last night take whatever time you need to be able to get to tradeing.

Cool beans then. I'm just in the middle of deliberating a trade with Red Skullz actually. I could do two at once, or I could do his then one for you. I'm definitely game once I'm all ready sure, that is of course if you don't mind?

Gitsplitta wrote:@Crimson: Really like the green in the recesses on the blue terminator... very cool concept!


Thanks for that Gits. Means a lot to me that you said that, especially coming from someone with the talent as you have. That was actually my very first attempt at highlighting on a model.

Perfect. I'd love to form a trade, my only trouble is I'm not quite sure what I could make


Not sure what to do or how to go about it but myself and Red Skullz have began a trade. I shall make for him a Wulfen and he is making something for myself in return (not sure what though). Just started him this evening. He has FW MkIII legs, shoulder pad, torso and backpack; SW head and storm bolter; WHFB basing kit skull base; and CSM backpack pole, shoulder pad and bolt pistol. here's a W.I.P of him, going to try and basecoat him tomorrow.

@Graven, I like it, he will be a fine addition to "suicide squad alpha." I've done some digging around my bits box and I can make a misslelauncer Dev but it will be a piece together I believe it will work out perfectly fine but at the moment its just an experiment. I do have grey knight weaponry hanging around if you would rather I make due with a psycannon or something.

@Red I have to bust out the old dremel tool but I think the results will be perfect for either wolfen or Chosen. Im really excited about what I have in mind for this and hopefully it will fit as I envision.

@Pat You can expect some pics of your termi soon.
