I was looking at my latest WIP for the marine swap and I thought I'd put up a list of whats going on.

Ice Angels have been sent to, Whalemusic, Vent, Jonnydelta, RamosAsura, and the Ice Angel for Gitsplitta is done. My current WIP is for Sage, who should be done tomorrow I hope. I have one lined up and I have painted my own captain to lead the unit. That gives me two spots left. Is anyone who I haven't traded with interested?

btw, this is Captain Razzik who will be leading the unit.

I need some suggestions on what to paint on his shield, any ideas?

I'd do a trade with you once I get some marines

Also for the shield, how about the chapter symbol or just some freehanded skull?

whalemusic360 wrote:Which particular brand of IG Carangra?

I have Cadians. But I would be Willing to trade for any IG Type.

**Lennysmash**

Ice Angel, I would love to do a trade with you, I was going to leave it till later but if you only have limited space then I'll drop my name in the hat as well. Just drop a PM if you're interested. There are a few examples of my work in the gallery.

These are some really old termies and a dread I have in the chapter colours:

Though the only part of the chapter I've painted recently is my dread:

It seems its the week of the ambulance's..

I wash rushed there last night while staying at my friends house.. now my eye is really swollen and well, I'm not sure how long till I can paint with some good results again -.-

Anyone want pictures? x)

**Gitsplitta**

I can live without the pictures... but take it easy and get well soon. No rush, we'll wait until you're back in good shape for painting!

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Gretar, I'm busy for the rest of the day, so I took this early WIP to show my progress

Oh, whalemusic, sorry for telling you to pm me your address so many times, I forgot you already did

(I thought Sage did for some reason)

**gretar**

Wow, that looks a lot better than I thought it would be due to the primer looking so thick

Looking forward to seeing him fully painted

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Glad you like him so far. I was afraid the primer would be too thick and ruin it. the only 'really' noticeable area is on the bolt pistol, and underneath the bp arm pad. The rest will look good, I hope.

Thank you very much. This is actually the second time I have an unknown allergy attack(unknown as in nobody knows what the hell it is.). Well, minus the swollen eye and last time I lost breath..

**Sageheart**

this is def the best topic ever.

has anyone played any games with their swapped marines?

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Not yet. Because of their varying load outs, I may use some as an honor guard, and some as a combat squad.
(or, two combat squads)

Yeah, well underneath the arm pad is really nothing much to worry about.

Oh and @Sageheart: No I haven't, but as soon as I have a full squad I will actually go play a game for a one in a million years

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

I'll just highlight it really well.

**porkuslime**

Lucifer - I have two Get of Freki to send left.. one went to Git. The 2 I have are a basic "grey hunter" type and one with an older Missile Launcher..

What have you to swap?

Whale - Didn't I already send you an Omega? If not.. shoot me your address again and I will mail him out.

Also, to anyone else out there, I do also have 2 AOBR tacticals that I painted up for a Bartertown Painting competition, that I sucessfully garnered the 2 lowest score on.. lol

Sons of Ecktoram

and the Uzmegawa Warband

yes.. the pictures do stink..

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Normal bolter troops.

**whalemusic360**

Ive used all of them (Save Sages, it has illegal equipment, which is cool). But the others, including the ones I just got, have been used.

How did they do? Did my Ice Angel survive?

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Gretar, your marine is finished!

(Its shiny because the wash was drying)

**Lennysmash**

Hey Ice I've sent you a PM for the swap mate. let me know if you need any more info.

**gretar**

@Lucifer Thats looks nice, but I dont know if its the wash or thick paint on his helmet that make him look like its a tad to thick there(of course, it could also be the photos.)?

I still haven't based your marine though. Its still in the same shape as the previous WIP pics :( Eff these couple of weeks..

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Yeah, the paint is a tad thick on the helmet, but It looks good in person.
At least to me, I hope you will like it when you get it.

Oh, I have no doubt in my mind I will

**IceAngel**

Here you go Sageheart. Your Ice Angel Death Company marine, Brother Utaan, is ready to go! After taking the picture I was remind of a few things that needed to be done, but he is 98% completed in the photo.

**Sageheart**

i love him thanks!! i plan to make an army out of all the marines i get and i'll then be using them on the field of battle!

anyone want to do some trades in a bit?

**hemingway**

I'll gladly paint anyone's marine in the Molten Corps colour scheme. Let me know if you'd be interested in such a thing. I don't even ask you do one of mine!

i would take one! thou if you want a marine from me may have to wait a bit!

**iheartlargeblasttemplates**

Wow ice angel all your models simply are stunning great work!

**gretar**

@ marcus Hey lordmarcus, I can now do a swap(got myself some spare marines from my mate who doesn't use them) on regular marines. Are you up for a trade?

**IceAngel**

IHEARTLARGEBLASTTEMPLATES wrote:Wow ice angel all your models simply are stunning great work!

Thanks man, I've been trying to improve my painting by chatting with people on dakka and using the great tutorials. My guys are slowly starting to look better. I don't know about anyone else who has done a trade, but I think trading a marine to some one else is a great motivator to improve your painting skills. I think my last few guys have been some of my better and using the feedback they're continuing to improve.
