Lovely work, I'm always up for a trade - shameless tart that I am. You've gone about it the right way, expressing interest and showing your goods. I play gk, SM (mentor legion), BA (weeping angels - homebrew), trying to swap for some deathwatch just now (a not uncommon gms) - lmk what you fancy making or getting! Folk sometimes make basing requests - eg unbased, plain, specific theme, base style, or free reign. Hope that helps, lmk - and welcome aboard!

Deathwatch I can do, I would like to add a Soul Drinker to your kill team! Let me know what load out you would like and I will see what I can do. I guess a GK marine would be a good addition to my command squad (make sure no heresy lingers), if you are up for it so am I!

So I finished with Njal's conversion that we are going to exchange, and now that I picked up a new camera and lightbox, figured I'd post some pics.

Always have issues with highlighting black, as I do not like the grey or blue edging.

**Gitsplitta**

So.... how do you do it then?

**whalemusic360**

Really really dark grey, to the point it is almost just black. That and a general avoidance of black.

**Red Skullz**

@battle8brother: I`m up for a trade

I as Graven are after Deathwatch marines but mine with ccw loadout and if you feel like it wulfen/mutated conversion is not unwanted

I play Space Wolves 13th Company but I can do other stuff as well if that`s the case.

@battle8brother: sounds good. Loadout-wise, not fussed; they're going to be counts as grey hunters so I want them to feel really veteran-y - but a regular bolter dude is grand. Alternatively, I do need a las-cannon chappy... Any thoughts on what you want from your PAGK?
@wm360: the cape looks excellent, and I can see its progression from the one you did for me. Re highlighting maybe try thin codex grey? Looking good though.

**battle8rother**

@ inmygravenimage & Red Skullz, I am down for a trade, all I have Deathwatch style is the command squad ]||[ shoulder pad but I could throw together a marine for the both of you, pm me your load out requests. In return I would like some marines to fill out my sternguard squad, regular bolters are fine but if you want to go crazy I wont stop you! All I ask is that they have battle damage (so I can learn from others). I guess this is my pledge to build! All I ask is a little patience as I just made an international move and still don't have my supplies, but they are as good as made!

**Red Skullz**

PM sent battle8rother!

Fire Hawk for Gitsplitta's Deatwatch Squads:

Not sure about the power cables. Thoughts?

Kind of digging the idea of a Fire Hawk watching over the repentant Mantis Warriors...!

**whalemusic360**

Don't you have adepticon army to be painting

**inmygravenimage**

Oh, cables! I like muchly. Um, totally should do my next gms dude...

That would be awesome, Graven! I'd love to get another model by you (especailly since the first one is in Australia

) ! My table is a littl full right now, however, so it would have to be in May some time. Let me know if you're still interested in a couple of months.

**battle8rother**

@inmygravenimage. just got all my stuff in and want you to know that work has begun! i have the mini blu tacked together and ready for your input! will load a pic later today.

@ Red Skullz. same as above however i have put some paint on yours and will upload a pic later, i have to say i was missing a second plasma pistol so i gave him a power axe!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Okay the time to picture update has arrived!

first up is Red Skullz mini. if you have anything to add on the pose let me know its still all blu tac at the moment as it is very much a WIP

Next up we have inmygravenimage's mini, this one is just what i am preposing for the minis pose let me know what you think! (i plan on keeping the helm white BTW)

Let me know what you think guys!

**inmygravenimage**

Looking good there mate!

**battle8rother**

@inmygravenimage
If you want me to play around with the pose let me know, this guy is about to belong to you and i want him to be enjoyed so drop some input. I have a second pose i really want to do but it requires green stuff and i am a little scared to mess him up with my shoddy GS skills.

**inmygravenimage**

I like that pose but feel free to experiment with gs - the gms is all about experimentation!

**battle8rother**

Okay then,
what i was thinking is..... having the marine blocking with the sword and having the pistol almost horizontal across his chest (as you would in a close in fight) i would have to GS the extra flexi armor around the armpit. i will throw up a pic on here at a later date w/BluTac.

**inmygravenimage**

Sounds very cool indeed! Your dude:

**Solar_lion**

No Panicing folks - Its called gravenizing. The Art of never letting a bit go unused! Looking good!

**inmygravenimage**

Thanks mate

the only problem is I like the pose so much I want to build another one, but I don't have another banner-bearing arm. Boo...

**Gitsplitta**

Those are looking very nice indeed!

**Red Skullz**

@battle8rother: it is looking very nice mate

On the Friday night of Adepticon at approximately 7 PM (or as soon as we can find a free table in the main hall), the Wardens of the Maelstrom and the Redeemers of the Maelstrom will revive the epic stuggle of the Badab war. 8000 points (or two full Adepticon teams), 4 rebels, 4 loyalists will vie for superiority on a desolate battlefield in that far-flung region of space. The Fire Hawks, Red Scorpions, Marines Errant and their Adeptus Mechanicus allies will try to bring the four rebel chapters... Tiger Claws, Lamenters, Executioners and the Mantis Warriors to heal.

We invite all of you to come join us to witness this historic event, and well as joining us in a mixer of sorts. A chance to meet us, see the armies in person & maybe even run one of these storied chapters whilst it's owner takes a pee break! We'll provide some limited quantity of libation and nosh to get things rolling... but it's probably best if you bring your own lest you be disappointed. We'll start to set up 7ish... but if you want to wait until the battle is rolling to swing by, 8 PM is probably a more reasonable time to join us.

Dakkanoughts on our two teams are...

Myself (Gitsplitta)
Solar_lion
Briancj
whalemusic360
Ramos Asura
Yellowbeard
IceAngel
inmygravenimage's... well... graven image!

I hope you can join us... it's going to be a really good time!

Feel free to cross-post this as you like. This is an open invitation to Dakka and the 40k community at large. I'll post it in a couple of different places on Dakka myself.

See you there!

One of the joys of Adepticon this year was meeting Alfndrate and completing our GMS trade. I present. Brother Arngeirr of the Space Wolves/

Nice work Alf, thanks!

**whalemusic360**

As a heads up for all, I have been made aware that Lorna has been initiated several several trades, got the one from his trade partner, and then never sent one in return. I would recommend avoiding him at this point.

**1-i**

I second the notion.

**Knightley**

Has anyone done a swap with Funkyh and received the model?

**whalemusic360**

Negative. You have another bad egg? That is almost impressive.

**Stormsung**

Git, I don't suppose you'd be interested in a Great Marine Swap?

What do I have to do to qualify to be in this GMS? I'm currently working on an objective marker and a Sergeant, would those be eligible?

**cormadepanda**

Anyone interesting in swapping for an ork?
