Aerixis Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I really like it man, though I think it might be a tad vibrant.... http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/imperial%20fists/6.jpg I painted mine almost the same as yours, although after the Gryphonne Sepia wash I built up a layer of Iyanden Darksun and Golden Yellow, then neat Golden Yellow. I think by keeping the bright yellow as a highlight it keeps it from looking too 'cartooney', in my eyes. Also, when you come to highlighting them dont use Sunburst Yellow, try using Bleached Bone instead, it looks awesome! Looking forward to seeing more dude!

Dejay Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Really like all your work, and your commanders pose is really cool. Simple yet kind of regal and authoritative. I'll be watching this space. ;) Thanks mate :) I really like it man, though I think it might be a tad vibrant.... http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h167/aerixis/imperial%20fists/6.jpg I painted mine almost the same as yours, although after the Gryphonne Sepia wash I built up a layer of Iyanden Darksun and Golden Yellow, then neat Golden Yellow.

I like brightness, although I really like those Fists, I'll try the Bleached Bone because it looks ace. ;) That's an awesome Sergeant! How did you do the chainsword arm pose? Thanks mate, it's straight from the sprue ;) Another update too guys, I've finished the squad at last.. http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/8049/thsssquad1.png http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/7802/thssgroup2.png http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/4336/thssgroup3.png At last eh?

Battleflag Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I would like some more updates, please. :) This army is by far my favourite Imperial Fist army. Are you planning on doing any vehicles at all? edit: nevermind, can't wait to see the rhino!

Lucifer Fellblade Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 These are amazingly painted, the dedication to painting that much yellow is great, and they look awesome. My one nitpick is that you go to such effort with great painting but you leave the mold lines in a lot of places, really takes it down a notch for me.

IronDuke Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 That squad is a formidable sight now it is finished. Excellent painting and great basing as well. Keep it up!

Burias-Drak'shal Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 The terminators look excellent, and as ironduke pointed out the basing looks great as well. Keep up the good work!

Dejay Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hey all, long time since posting in here, but I've been at it again. ( I as busy building WFB Chaos and Empire armies ) I decided to finish my Sternguard because, they're basically all I have at the moment :mellow: Only the power armour is done on this guy so far. http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/9691/sterngaurdwip1.png http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/6866/sternguardwip2.png The worst thing is I had to read my own tutorials to remember how to paint them <_< Also, I have this which I hate, the yellow isn't smooth at all, any ideas on a fix? http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/5741/rhinowip1.png Thanks for reading all :) Edit: I think something from Warseer is linked here, although I have reported it.

pattison Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Great Imperial Fists! You make Dorn proud! You use a different shade of yellow, but I really like it. Generally I see that there is the "shading into brownish" and the "shading into orange" methods. :D I do the latter for mine. It's funny to see so many "yellow-enthusiasts" commenting, Fists, Lamenters, Malevolents all around sniffing the awesomeness of yellow marines. :) Yellow power armour FTW! It's for brave soldiers who don't need camouflage (even the mosquitos will attack), and for brave painters of course. Respect to all of you. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191107-imperial-fist-log/page/3/#findComment-2721173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes me want to have another go at my IF! Thanks guys, it's appreciated. Just a little update, I felt like modeling yesterday so built up some more Marines. I wanted them to look fairly dynamic, so with the spare bits that I have (not many) here's what I have. http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/225/tacsquad1.png http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/1443/tacsquad2.png Also, while mooching around in my cabinet, I thought I would do a group shot :D http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/2592/groupshot1.png Thanks for reading & the comments all.

Marshal Roth Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 These really are beautiful Imperial Fists. I must ask though what is the ratio of your golden yellow to water? I've been following your recipe but i can't seem to get the ratio yellow to water right.
