Go for it Sage, that's why I made the base detachable so you could swap them out between yours and mine. Sorry its of the old colour scheme but I hope you still like him.

Sorry misunderstood I think, no need to base my marine sage as i'm working on some masters for my own resin bases so he'll probably be set on one of those.

Hmm, I assume that's a compliment , I think the dullness your describing come from the tamiya weathering I put on him. They really are great little sets if you can get them. If you're not sure which ones I mean check out Les's tutorial on White Scars on YouTube.

Weren't we already swapping, I seem to remember something about a Reaper Lord with cool converted power scythe...lol.

If you wanna swap that's fine, don't worry I won't hold you to a Reaper if you don't want too. At the moment I have IceAngel's, WM's and Ramos' to do but I can pencil you into the list. Like I said to Ramos though it could be a while as I have just started my final year at uni.

Yeah I'm just going through my messages to construct a proper swap list so I know what's going on.

Yeah we agreed on a hawk lord, but your right not on wargear. I can't seem to find your request in my inbox though I know for definite you had one.

Give me another PM with what you are looking for and I'll get on it for you.

The stuff I have for fooling around making bases and what not at the mo is milliput, you have a lot of similar stuff in the states I believe. Don't use green stuff as they do in a lot of the tutorials for your learning, just use that for your final pieces.

Yes, we were,I got confused when your Avatar chnged, I havn't managed to get the sycthes, and probably won't be able to. I could do you a normal Reaper Lord marine with a bolter if you want?

@ Imp. Monkey - You sir have a more important marine to do for me now if you're willing. Whilst milling around the interweb I have decided that what is needed within my army is a unit of Champions. Specifically Feast of Blades Champions. If possible would you be able to construct me an Emperor's Champion style model from the Crimson Fists? So suitably large power sword/axe with or without shield. Bolt pistol if you like too.

Porkuslime, what color did you use for the armor of your marine?
(I want to remove mold lines and fix my splotches around the eyes)

And gretar, if you wouldnt mind waiting a day, I could paint up a Son of Oruoboros, and ship both to you at once.


Yeah, that would be okay So AoBR vs. AoBR?

Would you mind a BFM from me for an AoBR?
I don't have any spare AoBR ones, but I have a couple of the old BFM (my first Son of Oruoboros is a BFM)


Yeah thats fine aswell I'll paint one up and have the same base theme as the vet you'r getting

Sounds good.

I should have your marine done tomorrow, and I will ship both marines out either tomorrow or Wednesday.

OH-I Wanna get out of here

So I'm doing a Soul Drinker for Lenny, and got to thinking, should I switch my HL to SD? I havent started my own, but see a reason to do both.
With HL, I have Shrike and all the Ravenguard FW stuff to work with (they have the same logo as HL)
With SD, Chaperhouse makes some pads, and your friend and mine Blackhand made some as well. It also gives me a way to get into CSM as well as codex.


So whatcha think?

I think just from the conversion ability for deamon weaponry Soul Drinkers win. And as you have said they also allow you to tailor a list to play as either vanilla or chaos marines.

Also don't forget that the death company box comes with a few chalice pads to add a little bit of variety.

soul drinkers would be cool, but tons of young kids do it i noticed, so it would be nice to see a really well made SD army and i think you could do it WM!

^True.
The SD are one of my favorite space marine chapters, just because I like the scheme, and the Soul drinkers novels are some of my favorite books from the Black Library.
Sage, did you take a pic of the chaplain yet?

Looking good Sage, what have you made the chaplain's crozius out of?

Oh and all of them a few more purity seals would drum in their devotion.

Love em Sage.
A few more purity seals an they will be perfect.
For The Chaplain, if you trim the teeth from the chainsword off, itll look perfect. Love the head
(and I just re-read the codex, LC Chaplin is a no go. Think you can trim off the claws?)

i coudl trim the claws, i think the claws look cool, maybe just use it as a count as PF since i guess most people (except me haha) woudl know chaplain cant have LC?

happy you like them. more purity seals can be done!!

the chaplain badge of honor is made by a space wolf chain sword, and then a DA top piece. I was thinking of a chain staff thing, but i don't think that came out well enough. I will shave the teeth off on it for BBL.

an00bis: Send me your address so we can switch marines!!
the up for grabs one is for a trade. if you want to trade for it feel free to!

Sage, I don't want you paint paint any of the guys for me (except a bolter marine as one of your Sons of Luther)
But, I forgot if you wanted me to paint any of yours. I can, but my spray primer sh*ted out on me last night. (so they may be a little thicker than if I spray primed them)
