the current plan for the army is 1000 points

 

there are two 5 man dev squads with 4 ML each and a PF on the sarg

two 5 man tac squads with a melta in each

a dred with assultcannon and storm bolter

a termanator squad with an assultcannon

and a chaplin with jump pack

 

i have played 1 game so far and took out an all infantry guard army by makeing smart use of cover and keeping his hardest hiting guns out my LOS of most of my army. i ended up shooting allmost all of his units to death by the end of turn 7 he had 2 guardsmen left maning 2 morters he had hid in the back

 

i have not decided on how to expand the list so far but i am working on sevral moddels that are not on the list for this force allready so we will see where this takes us

this is the whole army as it stands right now and yes the dred is black templars and so is the one tac squad :P i have a bit of painting A D D so i decided to make it a Rogal Dorn themed army that is played as codex SM's

WOW nice looking fists so far. I love seeing WIP army threads, helps to keep me motivated as well seeing armies form.

 

As for your plans however, i don't want to burst your bubble too bad, but you need more tacs marines unfortantely. Reason being is you can't field a 5 man unit now with an special weapon in it. It really sucks because i too would love to do that, as well as being able to field two special weapons in unit.

 

I look forward to watching this thread now, as i love seeing progress.

I am working on my marines and i keep losing motivation to finishing them, so threads like this really help.

ok new expanded list is worked out

 

2x 10 man tac squads with a melta and ML

2x 5 man dev squads 4x ML and a pf on the sarg

a 5 man termy unit with assultcannon

a dred with assultcannon

a ven dred with assultcannon and flamer in a drop pod (for scareing the hell out of people ;) )

a 5 man assultsquad with PF on the sarg

and the assult pack chapplin

 

for 1505 points

 

the idea is to be compact enough to use the cover to great effect and keep some strong back up plans workibal witch is what the chapplin and assult squads are for and

and you have to love droping a ven dred on people and lighting them up

 

i am working on painting somting right now and should have it posted later tonight and the conversion for the ven dred is underway i just dont like the mettal one GW has

out so i am doing somthing similar but just for my fist army B)

 

edit: i gess i should add a new pic of the army mind you the ven dred is very WIP nothing is evan glued in place and most of the work has not ben done also the drop pod needs to be changed a bit to make it imperial fist and not blacktemplars

ok first off the days work

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v670/Samadhi/dev1.jpg

 

not to bad he still needs a few things but the base is done minus the grass and his base armer is finished i need to decide how i am painting the ML still and finish the other odds and ends.

 

i figure i should post some things not for the curent army but that i had painted wile learning to paint imperial fists

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v670/Samadhi/librarian.jpg

 

and yes i know that librairans should be all blue with the chapter shoulderpad but i never really liked that and i figger the imperial fists might be a bit resistant to some of the teachings of the index so they might just let there people sport the chapter's armer

 

eather way he was the first yellow i had painted and i decided he was a bit to bright so i started darker after this fig and never let my self get this bright agaion

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v670/Samadhi/wirlwind.jpg

 

this was to teach my self to paint yellow in a very smouth flat manner i still need to highlight it and shadow it a bit but the idea was to get the base to be as good as possibal

oo and the WW part pops off and i can put the hatch on it to use as a rino if needed

i was experimenting with white primer with this one and one day i will finish it but not any time soon

alot of work done the army is more then half finished. i compleated the whole blacktemplars squad and another fist termanater so all i have left is the drop pod the ven dred, assult squad and 9 devastators

oo and the last 3 from the fist squad. if only the local craft store had dullcoat left i could seal the figs i just got done o well hear is a shot of most of the army as it stands right now.

oo and i got a chance to try out the citadel spray gun. it is ok i gess but i would have ben just as well off finding a spraycan of a paint shade that was close to what i use now and it would have ben alot cheaper

o well you live and learn i gess.

It's interesting but it's not a hen, ugh i mean... yellow - i mean it's a very cream looking colour and some of the later pictures look gold, that might not be the case, it could just be the pictures.

i kinda get why you think they look creamie. i have yet to really work out how to take good pics and i do very little editing of them when i have taken them (i shrink them 50% and crop that is it) also i dont have a good daylight bulb so the light its self it a bit yellow i should try in daylight.

 

also my highest "hightlight" is iyanden darksun i find most imperial fists come up really bright and i was never a fan so when i set out to paint my force i decided they should be much darker and have no edgehighlighting insted i am makeing sure the depth of the armer stand out a little more with the wash of ogrin flesh the redish brown helps tie the yellw to the red in the moddle and also provides some nice lowlights.

 

any way my fault on the bad pics i will try to correct them when i get a chance
