BobaHats's Imperial Fists

Well, I finally decided to start a thread to show you guys my Imperial Fists Second Company. There are loads more on their way so I hope to be updating this thread regularly.

 

Second Company Captain Toku-Meiji (I'm planning on giving him a Storm Bolter instead):

The first three members of Toku-Meiji's Command Squad under Sergeant Hyrez:

And finally, my Lysander conversion. I always thought the standard GW mini was a bit too 'sneaky' for Lysander:

Let me hear what you think. ;)

well painted with a difficult colour well done, i really like what you did with the helbrecht model, how did you get rid of the combi melta?

 

It took ages of filing and sawing... and as you can see there's still a feignt sign of it left. I got fed up... ;)

I like 'em alot, what did you do to convert lysander?

 

I used the standard Lysander body and removed the head. I then gave him new arms from the Terminator Assault Squad set and added the Fist of Dorn head to the top of another hammer. I gave him a new head so that he was looking in the other direction and gave him a mohawk and goatee using Green Stuff.

 

Thanks for the comments guys. ^_^

Hi BobaHat ;)

 

Overall, great looking Imperial Fists! Keep up the good work. My favorite of the ones you've posted so far is the Dreadnought, where I think the weathering looks really nice. Great job with a very difficult colour.

 

Look forward to what you have for us next.

The weathering on the vehicles is superb. How'd you accomplish that?

 

It's simply a gentle drybrush of black and 3-4 shades of brown using a tank brush. The chipped paint is done by painting watered down black followed by bolgun metal.

 

The fist-vents on the captain's pack are great. Those look like they came from a second edition snapfit sergeant, or are they from the third edition arm sprues?

 

They are from the plastic arms that came with the 2nd ed metal marines.

 

Thanks for the comments guys. More to come soon!

Seconded and that's what I thought. Consider the idea SO nicked! ^_^

 

Great conversions and paintjobs; this will look killer on the table (or display cabinet for that matter). Please keep going... <_<

The Second Company Captain is definitely my favorite of the bunch. You've managed to get that 'Fists yellow down, and the Captain is quite characterful; an epitome of your own Imperial Fists force. The only thing I'd personally add is a head-swap to the Captain. The good ol' beakie is nice, but a barehead or different helmet would suite the model much better, in my opinion. Other than that small nitpick they look fantastic. An army to be proud of. :devil:
Great work mate, specially the Chapter Master.

 

Which one are you referring to? :D The guy in the billowing cloak and beakie helmet is a Second Company Captain, and then there's Lysander.

I am working on the Chapter Master as well. I am doing Vladimir Pugh himself, and he will look nothing like that cheesy Calgar clone that is depicted in the Codex, who everyone seems to think is Pugh... ;)

 

Soon to come:

- Converted Razorback with the Lascannon/Plasmaguns weapon combo.

- Land Raider

- Devastator Squad

- Chapter Master Vladimir Pugh

- The last two guys from Toku-Meiji's Command Squad

- 10-man Scout Squad with CCW

- 5-man Scout Squad with sniper rifles

Look forward to viewing more of your work.. fantastic so far..

 

Favorite is Second Company Captain Toku-Meiji..very nice conversion. I threw a beak on my Helbrecht as well. Never thought of grinding off the combi.

 

The weathering is impressive.

 

Keep up the good work.
