Eight's Upcoming Imperial Fist Army (Dread & Squad 24/05)


Eight

Recommended Posts

Greetings!

 

Welcome to my Imperial Fist blog.

Yes, more Imperial Fists.... :lol:

 

I shall begin by saying I have never ever painted yellow before. Not even as a trim.

 

Quite why I chose Imperial Fists, I shall never know.

 

And I chose to do my commander first.

 

Ah well, let us begin.

 

Here is Captain Daecus of the 3rd Company. (I'm not good with the Fists fluff.)

About 90% finished.

 

Currently painting the AoBR Dreadnought and Tactical Marines.

 

Peace out.

Nice, I like the look of him so far. Yellow is a hard colour to get right, I had not painted yellow either until I started my Fists, and now it haunts my dreams ha ha! There are plenty of quality tutorials out on the net (inlcuding Lamentor's on this site, which I think is top notch), they helped me a lot when I started. Looking forward to seeing that dread mate

Nothing wrong with more Imperial Fists! Always good to see more. I like your conversion of the Emperor's Champion as I'm still trying to figure out how to convert mine! Your yellow is pretty good for a first time yellow painter. Keep up the good stuff!

Cheers guys.

Dread should be finished today, but it's slow going, as I cannot get a satisfactory yellow..

Seems the technique I used on the commander (who will also be finished today) doesn't work as well on larger models.

I'm screwed when it comes to the two Predators! ;)

Sorry but I think they look to dirty, I in my novice opinion would have either a yellow or light brown wash on them.

Have to agree. A Yellow Ink might bring the colour through a bit more? I've had P3's Yellow Ink and Windsor and Newton's Canary Yellow Ink reccommended to me, it might be worthwhile checking those out. (Or, of course, GW Yellow Ink - which is discontinued).

Your painting is good, But I would thicken the color on a few red areas, because they look a little splotchy, like the red bolter casing, and the eyes could use a highlight. Its a good yellow, but a little on the chalky side. A touch of paint here or there could do wonders with little effort.

 

Not bad at all though!

 

Be sure to post pics when you get the army finished!

 

-P

Or....I could just fail to update until after getting home from work on Saturday evening.....

C&C welcome as always.

Quite why I chose Imperial Fists, I shall never know.

 

But still it was a good choice. I love how you do your bases, different and neat. However, isn't most of this supposed to go in the WIP thread as "Hall of Heroes" is supposed to be finished stuff :D

 

Keep up the good work for the yellow horde

Ah, cheers man. :)

Oh, crap. You're right. :D

I'll remove the WIP attack bike and combat squad.

The attack bike wasn't even going to be Fists anyway. :)
