arutha Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 im not really liking the bases on the vets. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Support By Fire Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Very nice all around. One thing I try to do with an army, is to keep all of the bases similar across the board. Keeps a uniform feel to it, but maybe not the tall grass that the scouts have (scouts are more in the brush for cover an all).

The_Chaplain Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I can't really say anything about the veteran bases. I think they look great, but if you want them to look like the scout ones i suggest using some sort of glue dissolvant to free up the white flock and reglue it with the grass one you used for the scouts.

arutha Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Snow bases were my intial thought. The scouts on the other hand I fealt they should be in deep cover, especially if they are snipers. I do have to agree uniform bases through out is the way to go.

kernmist Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I've got the same veteran squad (See here). I've not tried to fit them in as Sternguard - not too sure you can make the weapon loadouts fit. However they do fit quite well as Jump-Pack-less Vanguard which is what i've done. Put them in a drop pod like I intend to and they'll look cool.

Pork Chop Express Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I like what you have done so far. Your blue looks really good and they really look like fists, not ultras with red gauntlets. I am experimenting with some crimson fists myself, would you mind explaining how you built up your highlights?

arutha Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 I prime everything black first. Start with necron abyss as my base. First highlight is regal blue. Then I mix in a small amount of um blue. I work my way up to pure um blue. The extreme highlight is ice blue. I am thinking about adding another step mixing the ice blue with the um to make the last highlight a little more subtle. Water everything down of course.

Vash113 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Woa, lots of nifty Forge World and GS gubbins, and the proper use of the Crimson Fists crimson fists, always nice to see, the army looks to be coming together very nicely, I particularly like your work on the banner.

arutha Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thanks, Need to do some clean up on the banner and shield before i actually start to paint it, but am pretty happy with the way they came out. Made molds of all the icons that come from the FW icon packs.

Tyrannicide Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Nice army and house too! Your red is so vibrant, it really lends itself to the dark blue of the Crimson Fists and I think all the symbols help the army stand out. I'll make sure to keep a look out for Warhound Titans around these parts of the wood too. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150988-crimson-fist-wip/#findComment-1833976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
