Hey guys, while its not a PH entry, I hope you'll forgive me for posting it here. He is in a mk2/6 hybrid artificer suit anyway wich is my nod to the PH comunity.

Here is the unpainted model


Here is a brief update of what I've done



Big thanks to Iacton for hosting my WIP :) Should have a few more pics for you when I've managed to track down a camera.

WOW! Im stunned! :blink:

that is beatiful!
awsome work dude, is he your sculpt or was he pre-bought? either way he's awsome!

the only thing i will say tho is where is the armour on his fore arms?? :huh: they look a little weedy in compareson to the rest of the mini, but thats just my opinion

awsome work dude keep it up and keep us well informed ;)

Ber-luddy hell... that's outstanding... :blink:

Share your secrets! I demand it!

Dang thats Purdy !!! nice work

Ninja posting

I know the secrets..... :ph43r:

hehe! Nice stuff and the metals are looking rather loverly ;)

Am i right in thinking that it started life as the FW showcase Marine?? :huh:

He looks awsome but is he wearing sandals :P

Thanks guys

Yes it started out as a FW showcase marine.

It was sculpted for me by Giganticdark from CMON.

No he's not in sandals.

And yes, thats metallic paint. ;)

Aww, I liked the idea of sandals... even if I flinched when I imagined an Ork stepping on his toes! :D

I am in amazement, that is a wovly model :wub:

Really amazing! I can't wait to see it painted!!

Looks very nice!

Well, thats amazing!

I guess if you were to say anything about Sandals then you would also have to say what is worse? every other GW space marine that has the most vulnerable part of the body unprotected with marines without helmets, or this guy who runs the chance of an orc stepping on his toes? Or perhaps even worse, running into an enemy with a chainboot? :P

Its really beautiful... I especially like the "Lamda" sign and the ancient Greek crest...I am Greek, that explains it all I guess :) ...

Well I'm back from Prague but I've got swineflu... My entry is at my LGS so I doubt I'll be able to get it finished in time. Oh well there's always next year right? :)

Oh duuuude... that's unfortunate! Should have stayed away from the unpasteurised lagers, eh? ;)

Get well soon!

I think its because of the 90% recycled air you get on planes these days, oh well atleast I didn't feel rough in Prague, but then again that would of been the boobs and beer keeping me all happy :P

That sucks royally....

Are you still attending GD though? I am guessing that Gigantic is taking his bad boy along...?

I think Nedlol is the first of us to come down with that SH$%

I would bet my bottom dollar it was from the dirty plane.
And you know the guy who gave it to you felt sick before he went on the plane but the ASS just had to travel anyway.

Sometimes I just Hate people
If Swineflu was something really deadly ,Nurgle would claim the Earth in no time at all due to modern travel.

It is not if but When..... :unsure:


rant aside, that Marine is pure Win I hope to see it on the GW page soon

[thread hijack alert] My wife had the swine plague shortly after we returned from holiday in Mexico. Ironically she caught it from her friend's little girl... 5 days in bed, feeling pretty grotty but nothing more severe, thankfully[/thread hijack alert] (sorry)

I thought I had it a few weeks ago... turned out it was gastroenteritis, or "stomach flu". Still wasn't pretty - I didn't know I could poop that much and not go 2-dimensional.

The crazy side of my brain has me thinking this is all hype so everone lines up demanding shots which have RFID chips in them so "the Man" can keep tabs on us all

It is funny how the news hypes this all up, by all accounts it is just like a normal flu which people do die from too.
They say things like twice as many people will DIE!!!!
well of course if there are two flus going around then twice as many people get it and yes twice as many people die.
I wonder why the media would hype this so?
I wonder if Ted Turner,and the other media moguls have any stakes in pharmaceutical companies?
I bet they do.

Well with recycled air on planes there days I'm supprised that I was the only one out of the 4 of us that went that ended up with it.
Oh well its an experience that all I can say, nothing quite like having to rush to the toilet about 15 times a day and not being too sure what end its going to come out of until I get there :/

Yeah Scott I'm still gonna go I've got plenty of time to get over this nasty s**t, just gonna keep taking tamiflu and paracetemol until I feel well enough to get out and about. It'd be great to meet up with you and the others and maybe go for a pint.

I think Giganticdark is taking his big'un to the event, I just wish him the best of luck with it :)

Will, by any chance do you have a tinfoil hat? :P

He keeps it next to the hatch to his nuclear bunker ;)

Fortunately (?) here in the UK we get tablets and are sent to bed most of the time if we get ill, rather than stick a needle in at the slightest sign of a sniffle :D
