Would it be acceptable for me to take the Soul Drinkers? I have a small squad of them I painted after reading the books, including a Sarpedon, which Ben Counter has seen and approved as looking just like he imagined him to be. I'd love to do an extra Tactical Marine for this project.

Before anybody states the obvious, I know they're supposed to be silver, but I was kind of going for the look of the one on the front of the 'Legends of the Space Marines' book which is more of a steely blue/grey.

Very nice mate
I like it

Cheers very much guys! The 'pose' was supposed to be like the one on the front of the book, it didn't quite turn out right but looks OK!

I think I prefer the steel blue/gey to the standard silver

Good to have you with us mate

When's the deadline for this one boss?

I need to know the deadline too, might not make all my entries...

Well, I've made progress on the Thousand Sons marine. The head is fully painted and I've basecoated the rest of the marine.

Also, my brother has become more reluctant to relinquish the converted Chaos Space Marine, but he has painted a replacement Prophet of Destiny marine.

On top of that, I've completely finished the Pre-Heresy Word Bearer, and I'll post pics in the appropriate thread tomorrow.

Regarding time limit for this project please let me know your thoughts on when this would be a good time to end

oh and monkeyh, your Doom Eagle arrived
He looks fantastic

Im going to post pics this weekend of what has come so far

You need to update your 'marine arrived' list!

Done mate

Is there a theme or specific terrain type we're going for on the bases?

CRIMSON FISTS....DIBS

Done and added
Welcome

I hope this isn't thread necro, since it's only been a couple days.

I (finally) finished my Emperor's Pointy Sticks Sgt. I have to say, I've put more effort into this one than I have with some of my own troops... But it was a learning experience and I had the chance to do some awesome stuff!


The Sarge in all his glory. The pointy-hand was a transplant after his original pointy hand broke (thank goodness I had an extra AoBR Sgt. laying around). It was a bit rough because the color scheme (especially for the backpack power supplies) seem to change frequently.


Chainsword is a red/purple striped pattern seen early in the comic. Base is simple sand and Woodland Scenics flock... and I had to include an unpainted beaky helmet for our favorite oft-headless Land Raider gunner.
My only real problem with it, personally, is that my clear coat made it REALLY shiny...

Thoughts? Opinions? ... And where the frell do I send this guy?

Looking good mate

And dont worry. We are still going strong
I take it by the quietness of the forum that people are frantically working on their submissions

I will PM you my address for postge

Looks great. I like the white shoulder pads.

Finished up my Word Bearer! He was quite a bit of fun to paint. Let me know what you guys think and, Smurfwedge, let me know where to send him.

Thanks, Smurfwedge! I'll get him sent out at the beginning of next week.

Just found this. May be able to get involved. Would love to. When's the deadline?

You are more than welcome mate
There is no set deadline at the moment but I reckon you will still have at least a month or two

Let me know what chapter you want

Now this I like - good job!

I'm just posting to say that I've just finished the Space Wolf, and I'll post a photo as soon as I find my camera - now on to the Flesh Tearer

CF sent all it has to do is cross the pond

If your still taking entries, I'd like in.
I'll do up a Hawk Lord, and if I find time a Storm Lord

I may send in a dude from my homebrew chapter, the Order of the Talon. I'll keep you posted on if I'm able to. I'm gearing up to head back to university here in about a week :/
