You might PM him... not sure if he still follows this thread.

I think I will paint up this marine first that way I don't waste anyone's time. Then when it's done I will post pictures and see what others will trade.

**Gitsplitta**

Sounds like a plan. Part of the fun though... is building and painting a marine that meets the needs of the recipient.

**Stormwall**

Oh? I thought you made the Marine and traded it. I didn't realize the person requested anything other than the chapter. I misunderstood, my apologizes. I just started the prep work on this base and guy for nothing then haha.

**Gitsplitta**

Not necessarily... ask SL, see what he says!

Looks like a great build to me!

**Stormwall**

I pm'd him. I'll wait and see what happens.

**Gitsplitta**

He's a good guy. He'll get back to you when he can.

**Sageheart**

Nice to see this still.going! Four years now. Some awesome models recently.

**Stormwall**

Oh I know both by his projects and his attitude. I've been subbed to him since he made this bad boy:

Edit: Sorry. Off topic at best.

A couple of days ago I found something old that's inspired what I'll be doing.

Yes.. I am lurking. Doing a lot of travelling.. but very close to finishing Azazelx's Trade... PM me you address. also.. do you want to base him or should I?

Hey guys, I keep seeing everyone talking about the Great Marine Swap in all their P&M blogs and finally found this. Would love to trade with someone if anyone is interested. I play BA. Thanks!

**Shadowclaimer**

I have some marines, I don't play any specific army but we play Deathwatch and I'm just looking to paint up some marines random chapter-colors and send them out for personal practice and others to enjoy.

If anyone's interested shoot me a PM, preferably leave the left shoulder off (or have a Deathwatch shoulder.)

I'd love to start taking part in this and it might actually get me to paint more.

The immaterium is a strange and tenebrous thing, a void beyond the bounds of space as man was meant to know. It can be traversed but never held for it moves perpetually in every direction. Its tides flow out to every shoal and to every knowable and unknowable coast before doubling back on themselves to compound and refract their forces back upon themselves. A continuous, ever-changing sea.

Brother Iwazaru, a veteran of the final days of the Badab War, had taken to the void. His assignment, as per the terms of his chapter's surrender, had seconded to a Battle Group Heroic. At the time the battle group was far away from Badab in the Malkira system working to deal with an issue involving an awakened warp gate. Iwazaru embarked upon a single-man craft and was born out into the warp.

Weeks passed then months. Eventually Iwazaru's cryogenic system ran dry and he was rousted from his frigid, chemical slumber. He had drifted off course, tossed carelessly upon unknowable tides as his ship had been sent tumbling for too long across the ether. Time itself is such an inconsistent thing within the warp. Years had passed in the real world while he had only felt weeks, weeks alone and hopeless. Iwazaru turned inward and sought peace through prayer and meditation. Eventually, through faith or through chance, Iwazaru found himself at the coordinates that had been dictated to him so long ago.

He arrived in Malkira only to find that his hosts had already departed. With a bit of cunning though he brokered travel after them. A Rogue Trader got him out of Malkira and a Q-Ship took him half way. The last stretch came from a Mechanicum Explorator vessel. At long last Brother Iwazaru was where he belonged. Task Force Heroic; The Cadian 55th, Sons of Antaeus, Iron Angels, Sons of Medusa, Ghost Bears, and even a cadre of Lamenters… also veterans of Badab… had been deployed to the Xukarath system to fend off a splinter of Hive Fleet Leviathan. Iwazaru found himself in the thick of an ugly, savage conflict that had expanded beyond the claws and fangs of the Leviathan to include myriad other Xenos and Heretical forces. Iwazaru had been given purpose once more… back into the fray, back into the thick of battle.

Took a while for this particular Adeptus to find his way from Gitsplitta's bench to my mustering grounds. A lengthy stretch, certainly, but he has arrived when the enemies have become plentiful. A surplus of foes from every creed and composition await him. Let us hope he has the fortitude to stand alongside the other Battle Brothers.

Well played Sir. May I re-post on my Mantis Warrior blog?

Go for it.

Hopefully, now that all pending transactions for the GMS are concluded we can start the exchange back up again. Dust things off and the like.

**IceAngel**

Thanks for the fluff. Great job on the model Git.

**Master Azalle**

Praetorian! I'd be down to swap

Check out my Angels of Vengeance, I can also post some better quality pictures of anything I have for you to get a better look!

I have the ability to make any kind of marine (tac, dev, assault) let me know!

**Master Azalle**

Outstanding! Looking forward to this side project!

**Master Azalle**

Hey Guys! So I've painted up a few extra Angels of Vengeance. One for Preatorian, once he's completed his marine.

Is there anyone else up to swap? I've also expanded my Unforgiven Chapters to include Angels of Vigilance.

There are so many talented modelers out there, I hope mine can make the level.

I don't know the Great Swap is still live or not, but if it is, I'm interested in swapping marines. The Red Scorpions need to send their brothers out to fight for the Emperor.
