LouisT Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 uptil now these are all the pics i have, but i have still some completed models that i need to take pics of, got lysander almost done as well as the company standard bearer, just finished a razorback. Right now i've converted 3 shooty space hulk terminators and made 'em cc. should be done in a month or so as the average painting time for 1 fist is +- 20 hours and i don't paint that much :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216552-imperial-fists/#findComment-2582423 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vash113 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Those are some very nice Imperial Fists, we've been seeing quite a lot of good Sons of Dorn lately, I wonder what the reason is... Anyway great looking models, looking forward to seeing more!

Nikolakhs Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Tips? How about you give us a tip and tell us how you did that yellow, I'm really interested as that looks simply stunning. Other than adding the same level of depth to the metallics of the weapons as you did to the yellows whites skins and purity seals, I don't think there's any criticism of these. Please, more? -Nikolakhs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216552-imperial-fists/#findComment-2582714 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souitenesse Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Magnificent. Very vibrant colors, yours is one of the most crisp and well shaded yellow i've ever seen. Those are models you can be proud of. Would you mind to give us the way you paint your white? I would love to know how to shade like that :) Thanks a lot and congrats!

LouisT Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 wow thx for the comments fellas :) ok, for starters i never basecoat with white or black, i just paint the yellow areas macharius solar orange, the white areas astronomican grey and metal areas boltgun. I then wash the entire model badab blacK then its all highlighting (the entire model that is :P). for the yellow its macharius - lianden darksun - 3 thin layers of golden yellow - 50/50 golden yellow/skull white, always leaving a bit of the previous layer shining through. this is extremely much work (as is said 20 hours a model), but the result looks nice ;) for the white its astronomican - badad black wash - again highlighting stages codex grey - astronomican grey - 2 thin layers of skull white as you can see it's not very difficult (well maybe the golden yellows because that's the most annoying colour ever made) its just a lot of patience and a steady hand :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216552-imperial-fists/#findComment-2583197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
