BrotherSeumas Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hi fellow hobbyists! Been collecting for about 7 years on and off and have decided to actually finish and play with an army for once! My victims this time are the Crimson Fists :) The fluff behind them sounds great (although not for them ;) ). And the coloured fists just add the fun into painting them and making them stand out on the battlefield. Here's a test model using the "Viva Metallica" method. Yes that is the free AoBR model from months ago :lol: Tell me what you think! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y299/solinvictus/CFTermie1.png http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y299/solinvictus/CFTermie2.png http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y299/solinvictus/CFTermie3.png http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y299/solinvictus/CFTermie4.png Gotta get me some new paints and models. Thanks BrotherSeumas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 The Terminator itself looks good, but a little more time spent on the gun will make it look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tybrus Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Drilling out berrals is a MUST! Other then that looks great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I love the darker shades than most crimson fists armies, and the highlights are great. Other than what others have said about the storm bolter, i'd work a bit more on the red. It is a bit bland. Don't just wash it though as that will make it look too oily. Definetly a good start though. I am usually not a fan of the crimson fists scheme but i like this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudge Dreadnought Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm afraid the only large red areas i've painted were cloth, so i don't have any useful suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherSeumas Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Got a few bits from GW Direct today. Mr Pedro Kantor, to lead the force A Chaplain with a Power Fist. May or may not use him, but he has a POWAH FIST!!!!!!!!11!!!!!1 Veteran w/Power Fist 1 --- to be used as a Sergeant Veteran w/Power Fist 2 --- as above Imperial/Crimson Fist Upgrade Pack ---replace those vanilla pads and backpacks damn it! Ive trimmed, filed and washed them. Just need to go and retrieve my Green Stuff to fill in some gaps between arms etc. Oh and I've got a small bucket load of other bits coming from another site :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherSeumas Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Very nice :tu: I approve. ;) thanks :) Ok so I'm still waiting on this order from another site. Don't think I'll be using them ever again. But the main reason for a post here today is, how the hell can i easily get metal to stick together (and stay stuck) without pinning? Thanks Brother Seumas On another note, I found a shop with Midnight Blue still in stock <_< didnt buy any though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Richard Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Nice work.. I look forward to viewing the rest of your army. My greatest struggle is to get ALL of the mold lines filed down. It looks like you did a pretty good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
