Dejay Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hi guys, I thought i'd have a little go at painting yellow, so I decided to have a go at painting an Imperial Fist. I've never tried yellow power armour before, so I thought i'd share. http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6107/imperialfistvet1.png http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/9590/imperialfisrvet2.png http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/6240/imperialfistvet3.png I know some parts of the legs still need doing, and then I need to start highlighting too, but it's a start :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191107-imperial-fist-log/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Lord Captain Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Looking good so far mate! How did you achieve it? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191107-imperial-fist-log/#findComment-2266795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejay Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Thanks, quite simple really, although that took around an hour to achieve. - Chaos Black Undercoat - Iyanden Darksun, watered down, 2 coats on the most part, to get a good coverage. - 1 Coat of Gryphonne Sepia over the entire mode, then 2 more coats only the the recesses / areas that you want shaded. - Around 8 coats of Golden Yellow, or until you get a even coverage. - Sunburst Yellow highlights - 60 - 40 mix of Sunburst Yellow and Bleached Bone, for extreme highlights (Although only applied to 1 pad so far) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191107-imperial-fist-log/#findComment-2266800 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dejay Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hi guys, a little update of what else I've done, sorry about the lighting though, I'll take more pictures during the day tommorow ^_^ http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/7129/fistvet1.png http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/5025/fistvet2.png http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4684/fistvet3.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191107-imperial-fist-log/#findComment-2267142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andse Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Yellow looks very good :woot: But I don't think I'd ever have the patience to do so many layers :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191107-imperial-fist-log/#findComment-2267188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
white radish Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well done with the yellow. The update looks like there's some additional texturing done, though it's hard to see with the lighting. I also want to do a yellow army after my Ultras because yellow isn't an easy color to do, and I will have to try the Iyanden Darksun foundation... but I am still deciding btwn yellow/black CSMs or an actual Iyanden army.

Wolf Lord Ronin Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Usually Im more of a fan of the muted/gritty/darker yellow Imperial Fists, but seeing this has changed my mind. Hope to see a whole squad sometime Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191107-imperial-fist-log/#findComment-2267802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dejay Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi guys, another update, he's pretty much finished bar his back pack. http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/9968/impvet1.png http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/5469/impvet2.png http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2636/impvet3.png I also bought some resin bases, which arrived today (yey) http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/4567/resinbases.png Not quite sure how to paint them, and add static grass or not, but they were only £2 for 10 so I thought I'd give them a go :) EDIT: Sorry about the blue glow on the pictures, my TV was on lol :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191107-imperial-fist-log/#findComment-2269692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Really nice model there and your painting is really good! I'm liking the yellow a lot, and it's a hard colour, yet you painted it very well! ^_^ Are you just going to do this single model or is there more on the way?

Capt. Lysander Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Really nice yellow! Extremely smooth and clean. You managed the details well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191107-imperial-fist-log/#findComment-2273599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Really nice! And great choice of mini too!

Dejay Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Really nice model there and your painting is really good! I'm liking the yellow a lot, and it's a hard colour, yet you painted it very well! B)Are you just going to do this single model or is there more on the way? BBL Thank you very much, yeah it's a pain to do, but when I put that Veteran next to my Red Sons Of Orar Vets, he just looks so much better in my opinion. And in answer to your question, yep, I've started on a tactical squad for now :) Really nice yellow! Extremely smooth and clean. You managed the details well. Thank you, it's taken quite a while. I think I'm slowly improving though. Really nice! And great choice of mini too! I have thought about breaking off from my Blood Angels to try an IF marine...May well give it a go now! Thank you, I really like the pose, plus I can use him as a Vanguard Vet or just a Tactical squad Vet. Give it a go I say, I got bored of painting red ( see above :) ) and decided to try yellow, glad I did. Thank you all for the kind comments. Anywho, as promised, although still lacking better lighting, the finished Vet. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3134/finishvet1.png http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/7593/finishedvet2.png http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/3636/finishedvet3.png His resin base, part of the 10 I mentioned earlier in the thread :) http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/935/resinbase1.png And finally two of the above mentioned Tactical Squad I've started.. http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/7531/fistmarines111.png Thank you for reading and commenting all :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191107-imperial-fist-log/#findComment-2273859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
