Grizzly_bear Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 If anything the typhoon would make a great actual sized LR(without the uber cannon of course) Great painting and weathering fella Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169850-pre-heresy-imperial-fist-army/page/15/#findComment-3442828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaw3029 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Thanks man. The typhon is the same size as a spartan without the front ramp.

Doghouse Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I've been watching you develop your Fists for a few years now mate and they look amazing now. I love the dark and gritty feel of a campaigning army and these are top notch! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169850-pre-heresy-imperial-fist-army/page/15/#findComment-3445540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Thanks man. The typhon is the same size as a spartan without the front ramp. I haven't seen the size comparison of that but ill certainly check up on that. Next update?

shaw3029 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Cheers guys! Doghouse. That is exactly the look I'm going for. Jaspcat. What is that? Dorms fist. When I finish the Spartans I will post some size comparissions up. Finished up another 10 bolter marines. They seem to be getting dirtier and dirtier. I now have two completely finished 20 man tactical squads. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/image_zps870979ec.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/image_zps4a0af39f.jpg http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/image_zps03dade6c.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169850-pre-heresy-imperial-fist-army/page/15/#findComment-3449030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Great looking squad fella. May I pass a constructive critique comment over? There's too many looking to their right with the same style pose. But that's a personal preference I try and eliminate with my models. Nothing against yours by any means Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169850-pre-heresy-imperial-fist-army/page/15/#findComment-3449212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaw3029 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 These are the filler marines so I didn't spend as long posing them once they are mixed in with the other 30 you won't notice.

shaw3029 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 One of the squads is modelled as running and the other as standing and shooting so that's how I identify each squad. Here's a quick shot of my latest sgt. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/image_zps1c433e00.jpg I also decided to change one of the rapier crews. So here is the newest crewman. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/image_zps0bf15448.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169850-pre-heresy-imperial-fist-army/page/15/#findComment-3452449 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Your work is really impressive Shaw3029... The Typhon is really top notch! Now the bolter guys look like they got out of the iron cage... Dirty but ultimately victorious!

shaw3029 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Thanks guys! Captain Semper. Glad you like them.

Tyrannicide Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 The Rapier battery looks mean. I love how the weathering turned out on them specifically. I always thought the two bodies that came with the Rapiers looked awkward but you've managed to convince me otherwise. Great work, man. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169850-pre-heresy-imperial-fist-army/page/15/#findComment-3471563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaw3029 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Cheers guys! Dearth Potato, The crew do look a bit awkward. I made them remote operated rather than having on of the crew standing on the back holding a giant lever. A bit of cutting & hot water fixed that problem. I also wanted them to look different from each other. Nothing worse than having identical models.

Greyall Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'm usually not a fan of heavy weathering. But this brings mud tears to my eyes. I'd give you a Dornian kiss if that wasn't the name of a world-shattering haymaker.

I'd give you a Dornian kiss if that wasn't the name of a world-shattering haymaker. Lol. Really glad you like them. I think the weathering style is like marmite. Some people either love it or hate it. Painting and modelling ideas really, you've done an amazing job and I hope I can do half as well I posted up a painting tutorial earlier in the thread. Testing it out on a couple of marines. If you need anymore detail than that just ask. As for modelling. You can't go wrong with the forge world models. Will you be doing heresy imperial fists? I believe the book is due out at Christmas. Hopefully with lots of cool new models.
