I've been painting Imperial Fists for quite some time now and I thought i would show some of them off. Going to start with This one fella and maybe post some more pictures of the rest of the army.

Nice work sir. That's a very nice and consistent yellow, gotta love the battle damage as well.

 

The non-metallic metal is nice as well, a subtle look that still looks metal. The scratches on the chain sword are a nice touch to, not too much but effective.

 

Nice to see you bothered with the text on the papers to. Never got why marines didn't bother with a more permanent method for doing their oaths.

Beautiful models. Yellow recipe?

 

Thank you very much. It's quite a simple scheme as follows:

White undercoat.

Smooth Golden Yellow basecoat. 2 or 3 layers quite watered down

Highlight of a Mix of Golden Yellow / Skull White 75% / 25% all Raised areas.

Controled Gryphonne Sepia wash over all yellow areas. Don't let it pool to much on a flat area. Careful not to leave brush strokes.

Re-highlight with the same yellow/white mix.

Any damage is done with Dark Flesh.

Thanks buddy! I really liked the yellow and i will sure try it out soon. Congratulations!

Can't wait for the rest of the command squad to be painted. Have you finished the scouts yet?

 

Command Squad is 75% done. Really need to get started on the banner.

Scouts.. i have one almost finished. Got the bits i need today to finish off my scout sergeants and storms. :D

I also have a scout objective marker almost finished. Probably have that finished first so he'll be next up.

Btw Where is the Helmet from that the twin swords marine have ?

Afraid its from the venerable dreadnought kit.

Thanks fellas for the positive comments.

Army Pics:

These guys were painted years ago. I've been working on a lot of different armies since but what the hell. These fellas are the meat of the army.

Command Squad

New command squad on its way. These guys have done me well but are a bit dated now.

All of these marines have been undercoated in black and worked up though foundation paints and citadel yellows. It was a massive amount of work and i feel is not the best that i can achieve these days. I will retire a few squads here and there but the main part of the army will remain unchanged.

Still i have a few projects in the pipeline and am excited to get them underway.
