Pre heresy Imperial Fist Army.

Hey dude, just read through all 8 pages, and wow, this army is super sweet. I'm gunna toss in a vote for the gritty marines, it fits the we've been wageing unceasing war for the last 200 years feel of a pre-heresy great crusade army.

The only thing that your army is missing is an actual Dorn model, may I suggest:

this model based of this artwork from the Heresy Art books:

The mini is found from eBay seller, the models available week to week vary, but are in some type of rotation. If you'd like a scale shot check out my Thousand Sons WIP, as it has a Magnus of the same scale.

Cheers, and keep'em coming *subscribed*,

Thanks Grotsmasha. I have kept an eye on that seller but haven't seen Dorn come on there. The Marines will be dirtier once I have weathered them. I plan to paint this rhino first, finish the rest of the squad (Bolters should be arriving soon) and then start to weather them.

 

I have made some progress on the Rhino over the past few days. Here is base coated and highlighted with a airbrush.

Next on the list is shadowing with oil paint, weathering powder and white spirit.

 

Cheers!

Great use of Blood and Skulls bits there, Tom does some fantastic pieces for the pre-heresy tanks,

 

Anyone who wants any then send him an email for the preheresy rhino set's as he doesnt have them on his web store.

A very friendly bloke :wacko:

 

I've got 5 rhinos on order from him and will be setting up my own wip plog on here next month once my throne of skulls Dark Eldar are finished.

Much better than Chapter House.

 

..what is better? The heresy rhino kit?

 

 

Great army here Shaw..my respect..

Only downside is your amazing dorn is not very fluffy..

He has always been described with boltlike weapon and a sword..

 

Beside..those old rhino resin parts you showed? Where can I find? The Blood and Skull link over here doesn't work.. :rolleyes:

Thanks very much guys,

 

I used my dorn for the tempus fugitives campaign and he was armed with what I modelled him with. I want to do another one one day.

 

 

I spent a little time today with the airbrush on the tank.

Look what Santa got me!

 

A Contemptor Dreadnought! I love these dreads! The normal one looks a little strange now. Like he needs an extra section between the body and the legs.

I also purchased a pot of liquid green stuff which I am finding really useful for smoothing out small holes and scrapes like where the Aquila once was.

 

I have also made some progress on the tactical squad,

I still have alot of work to do on them but I hope you like them so far. I will get some more closeups soon.

 

Cheers!

Nice work, that is a very similar look to what I was planning on doing with my vehicles. Is it an oil wash? What color did you use?

 

Ashton

That is one lean , mean , yellow fighting machine you have shaw3029.

 

Personally I prefer the clean yellow look but on the other hand I like the gritty defenders of Terra theme you had going for the Heresy campaign.

 

Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

That Tac squad looks excellent as well as that contemptor. Those mixed marks make it look really cool. Loved this army from the beginning, so its great to see it back. Your Sicarius conversion inspired my own commander.

 

Keep up the good work!

Thanks ever so much guys. Means alot.

 

Redfinger. Its Burnt Umber oil paint mixed with some rust pigment and a bit of scorched brown and chaos black thinned with white spirit.

 

Done a little work today with the airbrush. Its very work in progress. Its hard to see the blending in the photo at the moment.

Cheers!

Yet another WIP shot.

 

The black areas will mostly be metallic and Ive still got to add weathering powders and battle damage.

Cheers!

Cheers guys, Steal away Asterion Moloc. Remember credit where credit is due :)

 

He is finished!

 

I really liked this kit. Certainly one of the most fun models that I've painted. I shall certainly be getting another kit. Two asssault cannons and a cyclone missile launcher. :)

 

I made a few mistakes with painting this guy so Im looking forward to having another go at some point.

Hogun, I will be getting myself one of the new Landraiders at some point.

 

I've done some work on the second tactical squad and my forgeworld order or gunz has arrived.

 

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/Newweapons1.jpg

 

I added a new squad member using the Forgeworld MK5 kit. I still think mine fit in rather well.

 

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/shaw3029/Pre%20heresy%20Imperial%20Fists/Newweapons2.jpg

 

I just need the heavy weapon backpacks to complete the squad.

 

Ive also done some arm replacements on the sternguard and they now have the forge world guns although none of them are gled on yet.
