Combat_Vet Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Greets, To take a break from my wolves, I'll be doing a new army. It wil be a second founding chapter of the Imperial Fists. I plan to make them very scout heavy for fluff reasons. My goal is to build: Commander - total conversion in Articifer Armor Tactical Squad - 10 man Scout Squad - 10 man with bolters Scout Squad - 5 man with sniper rifles (If I finish these I'll try to add some fire power with a dread and a converted tank of some type) What I'm thinking of for a scheme is this: http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/linetrooper.jpg I'm still working out the fluff, so I'll only be doing basic troops. Once the fluff is hammered out I'll add some vets and special stuff ;) Better days, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165216-wip-for-my-pledge-to-the-call-of-the-imperium/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Scheme is good, what shade of green is it? And as every good DIYer knows, 2nd Founding is off-limits ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165216-wip-for-my-pledge-to-the-call-of-the-imperium/#findComment-1943990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castlerook Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The colour scheme looks very similar to the Subjugators http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Subjugators Anyway, good luck with the army.

Combat_Vet Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 OK, I've worked out most of the kninks with the fluff (and changed the name :( ) I'm not real sure about the paint scheme now either. but with the rate at which I paint, I really need to get started. So, which one would look the best? #1 http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/linetrooper.jpg #2 http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/GREEN2.jpg #3 http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/redchapter.jpg #4 http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/RED2.jpg I may go with a solid color for the troops and use the yellow arm for vets (or a special squad). Thoughts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165216-wip-for-my-pledge-to-the-call-of-the-imperium/#findComment-1945796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
im terrible at painting Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 1 it's the coolest. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165216-wip-for-my-pledge-to-the-call-of-the-imperium/#findComment-1945810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Seconded. 'One' is the best looking. Although, 'Two' is a close second. I don't like the red ones, however - they're too far away from the Yellow-Shades of the Imperial Fists to be remotely related. Stick to either One or Two as your scheme.

Cornelias Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 yeah i like the green one, reminds me of someone on the boards Scions of Dorn which always impressed me alot. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165216-wip-for-my-pledge-to-the-call-of-the-imperium/#findComment-1945823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I agree, the green is good. The yellow arm for vets is a good idea too :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165216-wip-for-my-pledge-to-the-call-of-the-imperium/#findComment-1945831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Greets, I have the basics of a test mini done and I'm not sure if I should continue. Is this paint scheme going to be too close to Dark Angels? http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010872.jpg I did the scout as a test mini because scouts will be the majority of the army (fluff reasons). ++ as a side note - I never realized how small the GW scouts were. I feel like I'm painting midgets (no offense to the little people) ++ http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010873.jpg Better days, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165216-wip-for-my-pledge-to-the-call-of-the-imperium/#findComment-1952951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
