i played a game using some marine swap models! GIt, the model for you did very well, killed a fiend and made it a tie.

lennysmash, well your honor squad got killed off with the unit by a soul grinder. but he looked awesome on the battlefield!

Oh dear, for those of you counting then that is one lost marine for Gits and one lost marine for Sage. I think I may need to produce a warning with my marines: May cause defeat!

Glad he looked good as he died for the Emprah! though.

I'm glad he got his victory with you Sage... once I start rolling for him he's doomed!

I dont know if I can allow this to be on the internet, but here for the first time: The second model I ever painted!



And he is an Astartes! The model on the right is my most recent work, just for comparison.

Haha yeah, I can also show the first model i ever painted? Its a Dark Eldar. Poor, poor Dark Eldar. I think I started with Warhammer when I was 10, so 7 years ago.

Got Ramos's guy today. Freehand is crazy good man! That also puts me at 10 marines, so once we get the game room set up (moved from one location to another) I'll grab a pic!

The bolter looks really small. Is it actually smaller, or am I just nuts (both is an acceptable answer)

@Git : Wow, man, he looks that much better when he actually has all the peices on and also when he's not under that terrible yellow light I have on my pictures Hope that he does some good on the battlefield! One thing thats bothering me in the pictures is that it seems that the skull on his helmet pooled without me knowing. Ah well...

@an00bis: They look very nice

He looks great Gretar... my Deathwatch squad is now up to two! It's looking better all the time!

Thanks, who had the other member of the Deathwatch Squad?

Oh there's a bunch, you, Lennysmash, Ice, WM, Porkuslime (I have his but still finishing it), Ramos, Sageheart, Solar Lion, etc. Don't think I'm quite up to my 10 man squad... but I might be getting close. Mainly everyone's just waiting for me to hold up my end of the trade.

And here we have one of Porkuslime's "Gett of Freiki". This marine was a bit worse for the wear (more of a gift than a trade) having fought many hard battles in the name of the Emperor. However with a few tech adepts to repair the armor and... well... re-attach his arms... he cleaned up nicely! Thanks Porkuslime!

Deathwatch is now up to 3... that's a quorum if not a unit!

basically you make a deal with someone for a trade, then you paint up a model (usually you paint a bolter marine for a bolter marine, vet for vet, etc.) and then send the model to each other. It is based on trust but I believe everyone here is good on their word (that is to say i've had no issue.)

post some pics of your marines?

Firstly Ice just to prove I am doing your marine mate (all be it slowly)




Secondly Ramos I know I said it would be awhile but I lied, I just had to see what the scales would come out like. Hope you like him.

A quick public apology, due to life sucking very badly, Sageheart's marine was delayed a LOT. Like, came back to me in the mail stepped on a lot. :(

So, I repaired it and remailed it.

My apologies, Sage.
