But enough of the complaining, it just came out, give it some time.

Back to MY P&M! If I'm painting a Tiger Claw that is in the early stages of chaos corruption, what color should the angelic jump pack wings be?

I'd do them a dingier color that blends out to white (or w/e color they normally are), almost like a "chaos meter" if you will, perhaps something dripping off of them.

Edit: DCMs that are having issues with the SM codex, to not pull this off topic anymore, would you mind putting your thoughts into the SM thread in the DCM Gamers Den?

Are you thinking of using the Chaos SM dex this year?

No, not at all. It's for a swap.

Alfndrate, I need to become a DCM first, but even then I'm not sure I'd get involved with an internet debate full of gamers over things such as a new codex. Arguments based around experience and opinions genuinely aren't productive. Especially when it comes to a game as diverse as 40k. I'll stay in my own little corner of the hobby and continue to enjoy every minute of it without getting bogged down with whats the newest power list, blah blah blah.

Once again, back to the P&M. I collected my bits for Ygg's marine swap and decided the wings on the jump pack actually don't look good with the armor I've chosen to use. SO forgot my previous question about what color to paint the wings because he isn't going to have the wings, just the jump pack. Oh, and a volkite charger and a shield!

Now to select some bits for Ramos and Lucarikx.

DCMs don't argue, we discuss in a gentlemanly manner.

I mostly put the call to the DCMs that didn't like the new codex to tell me why in that thread so we can pester you more about painting in this thread

Also, I just can't wait to see what you'll come up with for the swap !

Still haven't figured out mine... Maybe the boxes I'll buy today will help me

What boxes are you picking up today Yggs?

Ok... Here's what forced its way into my "shopping cart" :
- Tactical Squad ;
- Sternguard Squad ;
- And... after seeing them in 3D, in real... a Centurions kit !!!

(Yeah, it could have been worse for my wallet )

This is my shopping list as well, minus the Centurion Kit, but plus a 25th Anniversary Model from last year (my flgs owner has one possibly at his other store). Figured I'd grab it if I was going to make Crimson fists

I was looking at Centurions... then I noticed the price tag and walked away.

I've been mostly good though!
Only bought codexes lately.

Agreed, 62€ (must be around 75$ for you ?) is a hefty price for three models... But the real models more than convinced me !!!

We'll see, anyway...

£47.50
Basically £16 (€19 / US$26) each!
I'll just grab a box of hammernators for half the total price / 1/4 the price a model...

Hell, for less a full squad of 6 Centurions I can buy a full squad of Termis + a Land Raider or Stormraven.

'course if you're not as poor as me, it's probably slightly less insane looking and easier to justify getting them. xD

Okay, my swap for Yggs has been put together. Well, his pieces have been put together to make larger pieces but he isn't totally together yet. He is now down to four pieces. Three of which need to be primed. Then we take some pics and we get started on the painting.

As for my other two swaps, I need more legs. MORE LEGS! Perhaps a new tactical squad is in my future, or perhaps some sternguard. Hmm, decisions........

Game Empire re-upped on Sternguard squads. They also sold their last 2 old Tac squads, so I missed that. Remember that all the Sternguard have integral tabards covering their junk.

If anyone wants to see a near complete new Tactical Squad guy, you can find it on my new P&M blorg.

*PLUG* *PLUG*

Ah yes, the shameless plug. By the way, my old friend and Adepticon teammate has a new P&M thread go check it out!

It's a..... different.

No, but seriously, its great. Go check it out.

In other news I received Jaska 2 today. He arrived in one piece. Once I make his base all nice and pretty I'll get some pictures of him.

My local Game store says GW is flooding store with product very soon. So I'm guessing there will be no shortage for your discretion able income.

Moonpie is shameless.. so true!

If I had any sense of shame would Ice be my bff?

Yesterday the weather finally cooperated with me so I got some priming completed. Here is a picture of some of my WIP space marines. The black model on the right is my swap for Yggs. In the back ground you'll see Jaska 2 and then two of my sanguinary priests.


Here are also a few shots of my shattered aquila terrain piece.


Front and back. Still lots to do but a lot closer then we were before.

Why am I airbrushing things for you when you clearly already have one??

I don't have an airbrush. Otherwise I'd do them myself for sure. A friend of mine just got one that I painted that piece of terrain with.

Speaking of which, how awesome do the tanks look? I can't wait to get them and get some stripes on them.

Now that I'm done with Thing2's b-day presents... your tanks go to the top of the painting pile. Should have pics for you by next weekend.

Nice terrain, IceAngel!

I'll get pictures of my GMS marine up soon.

Lucarikx

Very nice, I live in Texas so I know what you mean about the lack of cooperation from the weather.

its ok ice angel, weather understands your lack of cooperation. Neat marine progress.

Great WIP models... though I cannot see much about mine

Yours is assembled too, I'll post pics when I can get internet on something else that my crappy phone

Yggs, I can't wait to see what you come up with.

I haven't added any paint to yours yet. I'm waiting for my buddy to return from his vaca so I can use his airbrush. In other news, my other marines have arrived today so I can start putting together Ramos and Lucarikx's guys together. I'll probably have them together before Ygg's guy gets any paint unfortunately. In the meantime though, I have been painting small amounts of blue on some Ice Angels. The painting fever hasn't hit me yet.

By the way, the new 40k space marine boxes are great. Huge improvements in overall bits quality.

Now, back to picking out some bits!
