Show me your Imperial Fists

I have just started redoing an old DIY army into Imperial Fists (Stripping the paint and repainting)

I only have one squad done so far.

They are a little shiny because I went a little heavy with the overcoat spray.

I used the yellow foundation paint (cant remember the name), the Gryphonne sepia for shading the resessed areas followed by a light coat of golden yellow over the foundation yellow.

I am only aiming for a decent table top quality so there are better painting styles from others Im sure.

Its a nice change to paint yellow instead of the black and white of my Templars

Oh and I used the foundation red followed by blood red on the chest eagles. I have found a better result with my second squad Im doing by washing the foundation red with the sepia or flesh wash before drybrushing the blood red over it.

These guys are done as second company so I just kept the yellow trim on the shoulder pads.

If you prefer a darker colour check out this tutorial: Imperial Fists Painting Guide by Chaos Bunny Studios

 

It lists all the paints you'll need, and is fiarly easy to achive. I used it for my Fists Scout Sarge that I just posted, but substituted Skull whit for Bleached Bone as I'm running really low on it just now.

Well thats my Imperial fist squad, I will be expanding that squad into a full army as my next main project...

Personally im really happy how they came out, espically considering they started out looking like this:

That was part of a collection of really badly painted minis I picked up from ebay... all I can say is I am glad I didn't pay much for them! ;)

Here's some of my earlier work:

I recently started on refreshing my old Fists with some new (cleaner) paintjobs though.

No where near the quality of some of the others but here is my Imperial Fist Captain of the 5th Company

Wow nice fists. How did you do those fantastic bases? :P

I mostly use the techniques described in this tutorial, and add in the occasional aquarium plants or twigs for more visual interest. The bullet impacts in the water were done by stretching some cheap hobby glue while it dried (basically you WANT the kind of glue that leaves strings of glue all over the place for this).

Here ya go, this is all I have photoed right now. Once I get my hobby stuff set back up I really need to get around to photoing the rest of the Army
