exactly! this is NOT just another spacemarine (well, if you just look at the model it is..).
I just had to post this! ;D I actually made my gf paint it! she hates warhammer but took her time painting this one
And I think it turned out pretty good considering it's her first time painting anything like this AND the fact the she HATES warhammer.
she'll probably break up with me for doing this. but hey! I made her paint it!

well here it is! enjoy xD

What a heartwarming story, two people apparently pushed apart by some kind of indentured modelling. Romantic you Swedes aren't you.

Not bad for a first try though, very neat.

Just get her to paint an army then kick her to the curb! win win for you, a painted army that looks pretty decent and more time to play the game! :-) just kidding, keep her and nurture her for she be a rare breed that hates the hobby but loves you more than she hates 40k!

Probaly to much paint try adding some less

Is the barrel hollowed out on that bolter?

That's a nice touch.

Heh, the knee pads actually look inteesting.

Nice work. Youve got some grapes my man, I wouldnt dare let my wife come near my brushes or minis

bullfrog: haha heartwarming indeed! xD

nerdfest09: the part about taking care of her wount be a problem as she keeps telling me I have to do something for her now! And god knows what that can be! :S

jordankeeps: I asked her as kindly as I could if she wanted to try water it down a little. but she refused.

-cypher-: yes the barrel is drilled out but I had to do that myself though... :S

a black ram: I think the whole scheme looks intresting very simple but intresting.

element206: I must admit that I had to keep telling myself like "I can buy new brushes, I can buy new brushes" but the brushes are still ok! so it was totally worth it. but I don't think i'll make her paint another one. ;D

What else can you make her do and take photos of?

just name something and I'll see if I can make her do it ;D
