Pig Of Sparta Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Salutations! some of you may remember this project that I started what seems like an age ago from the WIP section. Well since my CoI stuff sitting idle while I wait for my new brush, I decided to get him finished. With a little assistance from my shiny new bottle of MicroSol, I'm now pleased to unveil Veteran Brother Sergeant Iagan of the Imperial Fists in his finshed form :o.

Tyrannicide Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Very nice Imperial Fist. Much different from the normal lemon-like tones of yellow that the Fists wear, but it still looks very good and has been painted to a high degree. My favorite part of the model is his helmet, the Veteran Sergeant markings look expert! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 @ Mjolniir: actually it's vomit brown ;). I know it's not a traditional yellow, (more of a New York Taxi yellow) but I preferred how it looked to the more traditional yellowy yellow. That's not to say that I don't like Fists done in yellow, but I prefer mine this colour... @ Puddle: Thanks, it was actually done like that to save time. Normally I do back packs the other way around with the armour colour on all of it save the vents and ports etc. However I think I might do display mini's backpacks like this from now on. @ Trick3y: I'm not so sure it's get a Golden Daemon, but thanks for the complement :). @ Darth Potato: I added the stripe to his helm on Iacton's advice, and I'm really glad I did, I think it was the something missing that completed how I wanted him to look. Glad you like it. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry T Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I like the kit bash a lot and you have painted it very well Pig of Sparta. I for one love your take on Imperial Fist yellow and the helmet just makes the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil galed Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 mmm its nice, don't think you can consider it yellow but thats not a negative, is the chest eagle not highlighted at all or does the picture not show it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Of Sparta Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 @ theredcorsair: thanks, I kinda came up with it by accident when I was playing with some bits :). @ Perry T: Thanks brother, this yellow's pretty forgiving when you're painting so it's much easier than traditinal yellow. @ gil galed: You can just make out the highlights on the chest eagle in the first photo, it's not very harsh though so it's kinda hard to make out. It's a little clearer in real life though. @ Shaun Carlin: Thanks, my painting has come on in leaps and bounds since I signed up on here. Seeing some of other peoples work makes me keep pushing harder to make my own better ;). @ Fausto2071: it's ok, the mini's from the Sternguard Veterans set, but without his usual arms it can be hard to tell. @ InKaras: yeah, the yellow may haunt me for the rest of my days I think :P. @ Terminatorinhell: the recipie is pretty easy, its Vomit Brown, shaded with Devlan Mud then highlighted with Vomit Brown with increasing amounts of Skull White mixed in.

Rogue Trooper Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 That tutorial and the model you've shown are brilliant; both make me really want to try doing Lamenters instead of DIY! The power unit's colour scheme is so clever... damnit mate, you've created such a brilliant model here; pose, colour, painting... everything! Seriously, brilliant. Now I'm off to buy some Vomit Brown and practice my checkerboard... RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigger-than-Jesus Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I know I could get killed here (maybe less likely know than when MOS was here, but still) but I like that yellow, it just seems to make sense for IFs to use a more muted colour scheme, what with them being siege specialists and all, bright yellow wouldn't really make sense.

Basilius Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Not sure if I am overly taken with the Vomit Brown, but I can't deny that mini is really nicely done - good work. Something for me to aspire to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
