sar mikael Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 a few nice conversions there and it really looks as though these fisters are coming on! looking forward to seeing the final product, esp on the chilled out commander.

manofmanynames Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Looking good, can't wait to see them finished. I really like the command tank, where did you get all the parts? Also the predator turrets on your razorbacks look cool too.

Asrech Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 The commander got a good look going, empire head? Gives of the air of standing shouting orders to his troops, well done. The repressor is a unit I've considered myself, simply because I love the look of it. It's bigger thanks to the added roof and turet and actually looks like it just might be able to fit the 10 marines. The razors I'd constantly forget and think they were preds, good idea to put thedozerblade on them as it makes them stand out appart from normal preds. Looking forward to seeing some more paint on these guys! Cheers!

W.A.Rorie Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 You know the one thing I have not seen yet is Lord Hellblade himself, Pedro Kantor. I like what you have so far almost feel the Promethius looks weird with out the FW doors but it maybe jealousy on my part. and where did you get a crested plastic head on the sternguard sgt.

Crazy Eight Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 I am going to scratch build Lord hellblade so he will be incoming in the next month . I know wot you mean about the doors but i just didnt have enough cash left over in the end so its going to be the cheaper emblems which i think look almost as good but half the price . The crested sternguard head i made myself using the crest from a eldar guardian just trimmed down and a bit of filling and green stuff and boom 1 crested helmet :-) Just need to get some paint and some back packs on these bad boys then i should be ready for there first game Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192410-start-of-my-crimson-fists/#findComment-2285240 Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.A.Rorie Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Crusade Company is supposed to be 193 marines ( the number of marines that Survived the Rynn's World Diaster) led by the Chapter Master instead of a captain so all aspects similar to 1st company but larger in size Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192410-start-of-my-crimson-fists/#findComment-2286232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattison Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 lol yeah that is the down side especially since my detail painting is shocking due the fact that i have shaky hands no good but i will try my best Impressive amount of units there, they look really promising mate! One tip for the shaky hands: I had the same problem sometimes. Then I started to use head-mounted magnifiers (sounds like teleshop eh?). So since then it works in a way, that I start to paint with my magnifiers on and after a few minutes I simply forget how small it is what I paint and then my hand stops shaking! Yeah it may be psychology, but worked for me, maybe would work for you too. Good luck with your army, you can't go wrong with the Fists! :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192410-start-of-my-crimson-fists/#findComment-2286298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
