Hello Everyone

So I've decided to set myself a long term project and I would like the communities help.
The short version is:
I'm going to paint every space marine chapter.

Now to clarify. I'm going to use this image as my reference for "Every Space Marine Chapter" as there are 1000 and that would take some time
http://images.dakkadakka.com/s/i/gallery/img/2010/1/10/75422.jpg

If you'd like to chat to me directly and keep track of progress then join my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/x5s42yp

How can the community help?
Below is the list of Chapters. What I'd like you to do is to sponsor a Space Marine.
Private Message me on which one you'd like to sponsor and do the following:
- Tell me about this Space Marine; His Name & Background
- What type of base should he be on?
- Does the armour have any battle scars?

Once I have that info I’ll take him as Sponsored and once he's finished I’ll let you know.
It’ll be on a first come first served basis.
Also I’m going to limit it to one per person. Once I’ve finished yours you’re free to pick another

Why are you doing this?
Good question.
I’m doing this to interact more with Dakka. I’m a lurker by nature and I wanna make some new friends along the way.
I also wanna improve my skills and I think by doing this challenge they’ll increase.

How long will it take?
In general I’m going to try and do at least one Marine per weekend. I’ll attempt to do three. I think the whole challenge will take between 12 and 18 months to complete in total.

Can I have it once you’re finished?
If you really like how your Marine came out and you’re willing to pay for the postage then I don't see why not. I may have to do two of it though so I can keep one too

What are the chapters?

As the great King Théoden of Rohan would say...
"So it Begins..."



I've never actually built one of these up to date kits before. The last one i did was before they were updated.
Should be nice to see how it goes.

Anyways the first one i'm doing is a Legion of the Damned Marine for Drummernathan

Hoping to get it done today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Brother Sergeant Alcuin." The Inquisitor's voice was low and dry and devoid of victory.

"My Lord Inquisitor" the Sergeant snapped to attention.

The man he saw exiting the antechamber in the heart of this crone-world looked ashen and at least a decade older than when he had entered it.

"You may enter and record as you wish." The man sighed taking in the grim carnage of their surroundings, and added "Emperor knows the Mentors have paid dearly enough for it."

The Astartes sergeant ducked inside the archway without comment and passed on into the torchlit antechamber. An inquisitorial attaché within was still busy making measurements, recording minutiae, cataloguing each bah-relief and inscription. Alcuin deployed a pair of small recording devices on opposite walls before continuing down into the main chamber.

His hearts beat steadily in tandem despite the deepening sense of wonder that had been growing in his gut since they had first entered this subterranean temple. That such fathomless places were his to unveil; it had never ceased to move him. Yet still, for all his wealth of experience, his centuries of research and discovery, these Xenos remained an impenetrable mystery.

Brother Alcuin stood staring into the eyes of a crystal-seer. Long transfigured into a perfect crystalline image in death as he was in life. Here he had stood timelessly frozen yet baring the weight of each and every year, millennially ancient beyond reckoning.

Sensors in Alcuin's helm were scanning every feature of the seer's face, cross referencing with the database of every eldar artefact, image and known personality the Mentors chapter had on record. No match. Illusive as ever, he cursed them.

A man bustling around his feet broke Alcuin's reverie. Unapologetic he continued his work, busily deploying thermodynamic charges. A preponderance of explosives littered the chamber. Another temple, another tomb, another library, another world, consigned to oblivion by the hand of the imperium.

Alcuin scanned the rest of the room with his auspex while another set of recorders gleaned the final remnants of the Eldar's fading glory before it was too late.

There was no more to find here, no more to know. He collected his recorders as he returned to the rest of his squad, those of his battle brothers who remained.

As he ascended the recorded files were logged and stored in his own memory and doubly backed up to a pair of external drives recessed into his left vambrace. He retrieved two small data fingers and handing one to the Inquisitor deposited the second in a reinforced ceramite canister. He secured and encrypted the lock and placed the canister in the breach of his grenade launcher. The Inquisitor made nothing of the precaution but simply gave his man his assent. The charges below were set.

"Brother Sergeant Alcuin," the Inquisitor announced. "We are done here, you have my thanks."
Alcuin's response, the sign of the Aquila.

Together with the Inquisitor's company they retraced the way back through the dead and the dying. Men were treated or dispatched, equipment and ammunition retrieved, gene-seed recovered, all in silence.

Above and beyond the confines of this catacomb where all was utter chaos, the world burned; and the galaxy beyond. Escape was by no means assured.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brother Sergeant Alcuin of the Mentors Chapter. (Probable primogenitor- Indiana Jones)

Armour- He's a Sergeant but he's waring a helm and no back banner. (He's underground in the story and probably about nine feet tall as is.)
Equipment- Combi-Bolter-grenade launcher. Auspex.
Base- Subterranean Eldar temple.

HE IS BETTER" But...in your heart, you love the T-rex, who shouldn't have lost to no stupid Spinosaurus. So you hate the movie. And refuse to love the Spinosaurus because it is a hamfisted attempt at taking what you loved, making it TREX +++ and trying to sell you it.
