That banner model is sweet dude, hows the IG coming along? got many more tanks?

**lipsdapips**

Cheers guys, yea Knightley I have a hellhound and Leman Russ in box that ive had a while, but nice shiny forge world is distracting me

Exams are on the approach, so work may slow im afraid :\

**lipsdapips**

Ahh, may have forgotten to post a pic with the last update heheh...here it is

**Paradigm**

Excellent freehand!

**Nevelon**

Wow.

Alway love seeing your work, very impressive. Especially the Ultramarines. Not enough of us out there.

**lipsdapips**

Sorry for the questionable photo, i'll post better ones tomorrow when I have more time

LDP

EDIT - Looking at it, i'm wondering if i should chuck something above the eagle? The spacing just seems a little odd to me. Any thoughts as to what though guys? Then again maybe its fine

**Paradigm**

I'd leave the space, as whatever I could suggest to fill it (II, the skull or the arrow) already feature elsewhere on the banner. I think it looks great as is.

**nerdfest09**

Wait a minute...... that model looks .... *gasp!*.... PRIMED? don't tell me you're now priming before you make us feel crap about our paint? either way...... good job!

**lipsdapips**

Ooohoohoo you know it Nerdfest, welcome back

Rumour's even circulating that I drill barrels now

@Paradigm yea I agree with you there, I dont want to potentially ruin something thats pretty much fine

**Knightley**

Nice freehand,

I also may have started the rumours of the barrel drilling

Wait. Priming. Drilling?

NO. YOU WILL NOT TAKE ME ALIVE.

*Dons tinfoil hat*

**lipsdapips**

YO
I have returned. The Ultramarines require my aid again, and i've answered the call

Painted this sergeant to mark my return. Gunna work on a squad of 5 termies next because I need some done.
Tell me what you think guys! Thanks for tuning in.

LDP

edit sorry about the pics, I cant seem to locate my camera at the moment...so i've used my phone instead.

**Paradigm**

Looks good, I like the green sword effect and freehand laurels.

**Nevelon**

Love your Ultras. Simply amazing.

**Knightley**

Yay, looking amazing, hope to see more soon

**lipsdapips**

Hey guys,
Started painting up a forge world captain I got a couple weeks back, did a head swap and modelled a cloak onto him, so he has a more sweeping, badass stance

Very early stages, and again, sorry for the terrible quality images, I will improve them once I find my blasted camera

LDP

**Biohazard**

All looking good buddy. Great to see you back at it.

**brushcommando**

After skimming through this blog for a while, I must say, you have some pretty darned cool models on here. I love your use of different plastic kits to get a lot of mileage out of your poses

**Nevelon**

How many captains does he bring you up to?

Nice looking mini.

**Meph**

Ow nice! Those are some pretty smurfs. That red laurel wreath works particularly wekk.

**nerdfest09**

Dude looking good with the hammer! something a little different to see a marine rocking a power ball pean hammer :-)

**lipsdapips**

Woohoo! Good afternoon all.
Finished the Champion a couple days back and used him in a game against Knightley yesterday. What a blast

So i'll posting the pictures of him, I was pleased with how he came out

. Also I've revisited the finecast sicarius model I got a long while ago but discarded and neglected because it was missing the plasma pistol hand and had a horrible warp on the helmer, and therefore meant I couldn't assemble the model how I wanted, but now I've taken him back and Assembled and primed him how I liked using the plume from the helmet in his hand, and new tactical squad helmet, and the commander plasma pistol from a web exclusive captain. I'm very excited to paint him

stay tuned!

LDP

**brushcommando**

Excellent work! That champion turned out amazing!

**Paradigm**

Very nice work as ever! Subtle but striking.

And now you're doing another Captain!

**Knightley**

What a mighty champion, he certainly did smash some terminator faces.

**Nevelon**

Do you do battle reports? Seeing these guys one at a time as they get paint is impressive, seeing them on the battlefield would be amazing. Even if you don’t do a full write up, snapping a few pics next time would be appreciated.

**lipsdapips**

I'm fairly sure a bet rep will be going up on Knightley's blog soon, so you can check that out. I've done a bat rep on this blog before a while back, also against Knightley, but yea man, i'm keen to do more!

**Knightley**

Yep, will post the Batrep once I get through remembering everything that happened, hopefully tomorrow.

**lipsdapips**

Hey hey hey!
Work is well underway on Sicarius, and I'm getting quite excited now because I can get onto the fun stuff

Stay tuned,
LDP

**Meph**

Good job, man! That's a pretty blue.
