Silver and black. I like to use some deep red as well.

Whalemusic, I think you need to put up a picture of all of the marines you've received from this. It must be a cool sight.

i agree!!!









i also have the thunderhammer assault marine built, will get pics up soon!

I was thinking Tank for a tank.

Hey guys, I'll be getting a battleforce or two about a month from now, so keep this thread alive until then, and the two battle squads that come with the box are all in the swap (I know I could just combine them into one tactical squad, but I wont )

Gits I completely forgot to get a photo of the marine completed before I sent him. Could you do a big favour and upload one to the thread for me.

@Lenny: I just magnetized his plasma & am flocking him right now. Should be able to put of a pic of the "completed" figure by the day's end for you. He's really beautiful, even has a little mantis style purity seal... really nice job!

He's become an honorary member of my sternguard for the time being... he fits right in.

I'm glad you could tell it was supposed to be a mantis head, I was worried it would just look like a splodge of paint on a green shield

No problem... looks just like the mantis badge from the original rule book. Very, very cool my friend. It's perfect!

@Sage- I sent it to your school.

I can get a group pic for you guys later today.

But for now, I give you some looted dread goodness.

The close combat weapon on the dread makes it look funky now in my opinion

That is the part that I had the hardest time with. Fortunately, the whole arm is pined, so if Arakasi comes up with a better solution, it just slides off.

That's an awesome Dread. I think it will look great in his army. The perfect mix of marine and Orkiness. the huge engines on the back make the model.

The dread is rocking Whale!

IMHO it would look a lot more "flexible"(in a sense of killakans and Deff Dreads claws) if the claw was mounted underneath.

I thought I would post my latest WIP picture. This is Brother Tani for An00bis. For a better view of the sword check out my gallery.


These are some of the marines that I have received. One thing that I've done is I've actually based every ones marines that have been sent to me so I think this is the first time they been shown completely finished. First picture is of Brother Walters, Brother Cohen, and Brother Evrard. Second picture is of Brother Aquilum, from the chapter the Emperor's Fools.

Whale your marine is recieveing finishing touches. He will be sent out on monday.

I Would love to have an hall of Chapters..

So if anyone would like to trade heres my Custom SM Chapter

Angels Inferno

I love those colors and your painting style it looks great! great work

Wow, that marine looks awesome.
I'd be willing to trade if you want

I'm up for a trade as well

Everyone, I am going to be making a P&M blog about the models I have received, and write a story, adding pictures of the new models every time I get a new one, and creatively add them to my story.
So, Porkuslime, WM, and Sage, could you please make up a name for the marine you sent me, and for everyone else I'm trading with, could you tell me the name of the marine when posting WIP shots, or after I get it and ask?

Thanks guys,

Give me some time, i need to get some more marines to paint up and to trade with but i am willing to trade one of my Angels Inferno for someone else's custom Marine chapter..

PM me if you fancy this..

PS: this is a awesome idea for a thread and im really excited about collecting your chapters..
jim

@ IA - Very cool! Where did the Fool come from?

@ BBL - Lets go with Veteran Brother Bucardo (meaning Defender of the fortress)

@ jimmy - Do you just want Homebrew Chapters, or just not the super main stream guys? IE, no DA, but Hawk Lords are good. Just curious.

@ jimmy - i like your marine. Very crisp! You should put some more pictures in your gallery of your guys!

@whalemusic360 i would like just home brew chapters please, but would except a trade with someone who collects the normal chapters, but once i have 1 for of these chapters i wont need another..

@iceangel i will get some more pics up but no camara at the minute, but should have it back soon..

Thanks guys will let everyone know when i have some to trade..

Is this thread staying open permanently??

jim..

As far as I know it should stay open. And I will keep the list updated as long as I can.

@jimmy72nd- Oh yes please, I'll get you a crimson fist veteran with a flamer...and your in Britain, double yay! Could you make one veteran-y with an inquisitipon pad

i always do people I know with names.

so how about Brother Zarate, a humble warrior who enjoys cheese and smiting the xeno scum of the universe.

jim.

Does anyone remember the really static posed plastic space marines that came with the second edition game? Got two and didn't know what to do with them as they suck balls. So I got a bit drunk and I've succeded in slicing the little fella into component parts with a jewelery saw (great tool). so Ive got arms, legs, shoulder pads, torso/head. Bit of carving and GS required but I think I can give the guy a better pose. I will post when its back in one piece
