Terminatorinhell Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 oh man... i love that shade of yellow, very deep and rich without the SHOOT ME glow. Absolutely perfect for IF, whats is the recipe if you do not mind my asking?

odinswolf Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 white undercoat, then golden yellow followed by a slighty watered down ogryn flesh wash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170436-quick-update-on-imperial-fists/#findComment-2013353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 That simple?!?! amazing!

odinswolf Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 well the tanks were a different recipe involving sunburst yellow with several airbrushed washes of a brown ink mix(did these last year). i found this too hard to copy for the marines and found the above mix to be as close as it can be Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170436-quick-update-on-imperial-fists/#findComment-2013406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinyRhino Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Everything looks great, thought he temptation to push the tanks around inthe sandbox is overwhelming. Tonka Tanks! vroom vroom!

odinswolf Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 ok i just "shaded" the entire foot slogger army. it looks fantastic while wet but time will tell how it will dry. basically i used 4 pots of ogryn flesh wash with 2 pots of water to thin it. then i DIPPED them <_< i hope i havent ruined the lot lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170436-quick-update-on-imperial-fists/#findComment-2015197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Take a dry reasonable sized brush and wipe all the models down abit, washing the brush for every model to get rid of excess. It miiiiiight just help B) Otherwise I forecast serious thickness of orgryn flesh on parts of your models :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170436-quick-update-on-imperial-fists/#findComment-2015241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
odinswolf Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 just got to do the guns and add transfers ( this is just 2 that i ran out to see how they would look nearly finished) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170436-quick-update-on-imperial-fists/#findComment-2019627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaw3029 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Theres alot of Imperial Fist armies at the moment and you have a very nice looking one. Do you have a close up of the librarian? How did the dipping work out for you? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170436-quick-update-on-imperial-fists/#findComment-2019681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
odinswolf Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 dipping didnt go that badly really. the marines did end up with a few splodges(tm!) but overall they came out quite well.they did look a lot better when wet tho, i havent got the librarian finished enough to post any pics but will asap the photos look a bit washed out ( the yellow is darker in my eyes) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170436-quick-update-on-imperial-fists/#findComment-2019700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
odinswolf Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 drilled all the gun barrels out yesterday, hope to get the guns and eyes all done this week.

Honsou18 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 these look really awesome, I'm trying the same thing with my IF army, but I'm using Gryphonne Sepia instead of Ogryn Flesh. I cant wait to see more :D EDIT: Damn smiley Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170436-quick-update-on-imperial-fists/#findComment-2021685 Share on other sites More sharing options...

odinswolf Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 added the gun and painted in the joints then varnished the shoulder pads to try and help the transfers stick better.. now I only want to do a bit of detail work ( purity seal, mouth grill etc) and get the rest of the squad done to this standard ( not going for anything amazing.. just want a half decent tabletop army). I wanted a dirty /been on patrol look instead of a fresh from the factory force and i think its worked. should get the first full tactical squad finished this week then its on to the command squad. trying to break up the painting to keep it interesting ... yup i know there are mould lines and some dodgy painting but when they are the table i dont see the faults :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170436-quick-update-on-imperial-fists/#findComment-2022475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaHat Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Great Fists! I really like how these are coming. A slight note though... Imperial Fist sergeants don't have red helmets but rather yellow helmets with red skull motifs. Check out the complete Imperial Fist colour and insignia guide here. :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170436-quick-update-on-imperial-fists/#findComment-2032494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
odinswolf Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Thanks for the link :) I wish I had seen that site months ago, I was going by the "Index astartes 2" guide showing a pre heresy fist with a red helmet and the space marine codex (quote, typically sergeants have red helmets) now I've seen the right way I have just noticed the assault marine eargeant in the 2004 codex with a red stripe and skull :D However, since they are already painted, I'm keeping them as is because they are easier to spot Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170436-quick-update-on-imperial-fists/#findComment-2032754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElTanko Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Nice looking IF you have there, i really like the jump pack exhaust idea, very original.
