oh i would love to have models like that. i just have a few Games day orc models

I got the ltd ed Captain Draco still BNIB, I'm letting Iffy get some of her commissions out of the way and then I think I'll send it over to her. Its the only time I'll pay someone else to paint my minis.

which model is that?

this one i think

That's the one.

My standard bearer is this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STANDARD-BEARER-1999-SPACE-MARINES-METAL-WARHAMMER-40K-/310249477623

The first on was the Web exclusive guy from a year+ ago. Came free with an order from GW's US site of like more the $50. Wish I had got it. Not sure on the other one.

I'm pretty sure you had to be a non resident of the US though. I don't remember.
Has my marine arrive WM? (it should be there tomorrow or Tuesday if not)

Yup, sorry thought I had let ya know. Yours is boxed up ready to go, as is Solar Lion's and Lord Marcus's

Yeah I got this guy. OOP Yes, rare no unfortunately, don't know about you bBL but I hate this guy, his scaling is just so out of wack, he just looks plain wrong imho.

You can ship when you are ready.
Hmm, this thread seems like its dieing.
I have an idea! Add Chaos marines to stuff able to be swapped! That way more people would post, and more traffic = more staying on the first page, thus more people joining.

I don't think its dying bBL, its just naturally slowed down. I've got three trades going down at the moment but they aren't on here that's all, I'm sure others are doing likewise. Plus you have to remember that to most of us this is a side project. If you look at nids or blackhand they're creating SM chapters from scratch plus all their other projects too.

Other minis would be a great swap just try to make a fair deal for bot people

I'm more then happy to add whatever it is people want to swap. A few have done IG and Orks. If anyone wants to add things other then Marines, jump on in.

yea i've slowed down only due to lack of models and time haha, once i get a bit of both i will be doing all the trades i have planned out!

i am look for vostroyan models, if any of you have one and don't want it i would love to do a trade for one!

Now that I think of it, its just because school started for mostly everyone (myself included)
Oh well.

yea exactly, def when you move to dorms and forget gak at home XD

BLACKHAND wrote:I think Tony_nids_10, like myself, is a bit lost in a new army full of conversions at the moment. Part of the reason I had to bow out of the Great Marine Swap was it was taking up my modelling time and I wasn't able to work on my non-marine projects

I was afraid that I wouldn't have time for the GMS myself - that and *knowing* my turnover would be slow - I've only just started painting my first trade Thankfully - everyone has been very understanding/patient - a great combination of people to go with a great idea. Thankfully my current Orks modelling requirements are complete - just need more paint, and I can't paint more than 2 hours straight, so modelling is inevitable. That and I decided from the beginning I'd do two at a time - one for me and one for the swap - so my Orks aren't completely neglected... Long story short, I understand - and would hopefully be the last person to pressure anyone to do something they didn't want to! Thankfully there are some great guys on here doing quick turnarounds - I'm counting on them keeping the idea alive while I get through my queue

That said, BLACKHAND is going to be getting the first E'sS off the line!

Will do! I rarely follow Marine lists, which is probably why I hadn't noticed it. Then again, I rarely follow Nids either... I'll keep you on my list (now at the top) and PM you each time I'm ready to begin my next - just let me know if you can't at that time and I'll move down to my next one.

@Everyone: Hopefully I can get enough paint on Gitsplitta's Stormboyz Nob this week to warrant a painting in progress pic! This thread is not allowed to die until I get through my queue!

@Arakasi- Blackhand is the first on the list and as soon as I am done with his I'll pop on to do yours!

Gitsplitta, I have yours as well! Let me know when you;re ready!

Also, I received Sagehearts marine today. I'll post some pictures once I've got him based. Sage, I'll send you some helpful tips as well.

thanks for the tips! they were very helpful!

Here is a WIP for Lucifer's marine! (I dont have one for brother_zach yet, couse it hasn't even been fully assebled yet. )

The Marine:






I'm pretty happy with him so far. I'm really happy how good the white turned out, concidering that this is my first time painting white since I was like 10. And when I was, I'd just slap one thick layer over the whole area, however, in this chase, I used 2 layers of thinned down Dheneb Stone, washed with badab black, 7 or 8 layers of slightly thinned down Skull White, Badab Black wash, 2 layers of thinned down Skull white to clean up. Took some work, but it payed off with a really nice helmet imo

You have to excuse the terrible photos btw. My painting station lamp just broke down so now I'm using a terrible yellow light-ish bulp and an even worse lamp(it kind of makes the yellow more yellow..) that kind of ruins my photos.

EDIT: Forgot the front wiew, sorry

Ice Angel WIP


From left to right you have the marine for Lucifer, a marine for An00bis, then Lennysmash, the right most one is for a friend of mine who isn't on Dakka, because he is a slacker.
