cathar the great Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I've just finished reading this thread and was wondering. What is the DIY Swapping Project 09? How do I get involved and what do I do for it? I'm pretty new to this website so please excuse my ignorance to this subject. It's a project where anyone can sign up their DiY Marine chapter or Chaos Warband. Then you get assigned someone else's and make at least one Marine based on the color scheme and fluff of someone else. But the deadline for this one was last year. Contact Ferrus Manus, maybe you can still join... EDIT: Looks like Ferrus was faster than me XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Here's my contribution: It's an Emperor's Word Sergeant. To do: - Base - Maybe add some more scroll work - Paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 ok boys and girls i have a modeling update! i have got some bits and built most of him, i also decided that a dragon like thing was needed, so a scale tabbard made from GS i have changed the tabbard ever so slightly since these pics as it looked a bit odd to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The tabbard looks more like chainmail than scales, but I guess you can fix that with the paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Everything's looking great. @Ferrus: Drill those barrels, lol. I need to see if I can find enough bitz to build a Chaos Marine before I start actually doing so. Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little brother Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 An early pic of Silver Pheonix's Pheonix Legion. Will probably paint him up as a veteran sergeant. The tassel on the head will be re-alligned so it streams backwards. The blade is only a mockup so that I can get the proportions correct. http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo58/littlebrother2008/IMGP2554.jpg http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo58/littlebrother2008/IMGP2555.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonkin Arenis Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 i have a head update, i figure marines with gas masks are always bald, well this young marine has long flourishing hair (accidently looks a bit like mine :S) :) :) That's great SB! :D I have been given little brother's Emperor's Hunters chapter, and I am doing for him the Captain of the 8th Company, Master of Flight... Which is still a little pile of bitz on my work-'table'... Wish those damn orders from Bitzbox got here faster... :( Anybody have any links to a Bitz website that could be better or summt?

Brother Argent Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 :) Little Brother. Awesome. I'm pretty much speechless... (Let me assure you that is fairly rare for me). That blade is perfect. I can't wait to see what you do with a bit of paint. I can't wait to see what you do in terms of house markings and any honour markings, if he;s going to have them. I'm wondering if your going to remove the Chaos arrow off his head or not? I'm really excited to see how you do this guy now. I suppose I'd better get a wriggle on with Dark Brotherhoods Dark Brotherhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Small worded update from me on my fallen marine: The horns on the helmet have fallen off sadly and have been lost to the warp due to their size, so our fallen friend simply has a normal Mk.VI helmet but now with a sratch across the left side as if a blade sliced against it. The despoiled cuts on the Aquila on his chest have been deepened so it'll look more visible after being painted and finally I've drilled a bolter shot on the helm on his trophy rack, perhapos signifying an "execution" style exit for this marine's former "brother". The base will be worked on soon, I'm considering adding more helms of his former brothers or maybe body bits. But it's only a small base so I can't do too much. Then the priming and the future painting! Well that's it for now. New pics coming soon hopefully. Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Alucard Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Not a good picture but, armour nearly finished Any idea which chapters would look best for the helmets on the backpack? Don't really want anything that will distract you from the model and easily recognised chapters would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Any idea which chapters would look best for the helmets on the backpack? Don't really wont anything that will distract you from the model and easily recognised chapters would be cool. Black Templars and maybe the Sallies or Ultras? I'm still waiting on bitz, but i'll have a mock-up of the pose drawn by the weekend... -_- Arenis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Alucard Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 looking good Sword Brethren. Like what I can see of the flames. On another note, i am going to paint the helmets on my marines backpack in the colours of two of the other DIY swap chapters.
