DietOfLiquor Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Love the work man. The yellow is amazing.

Lachdannan Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 @Dorns_fist thanks for the kind words. I do plan (at some stage) of doing a 'yellowwing'. I have a the parts, and even have knocked up a command squad. And I do plan on giving them all the OSL eyes, as I really like that look, and their own heraldry as well of course. However this is something for the future. @DietOfLiquor Thanks so much! Yellow isn't that bad a colour after you've got a recipe down. Plus it looks awesome on the tabletop. I say take the plunge ^_^ I am planning on finishing my Imperial Fist Vulcan, just to get back into the swing of things before the Imperial Fists painting challenge. Just trying to finish off some other non-power armour stuff first.

Dosjetka Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 @Battle-Brother Ludovic Cheers, its about time I did something yellow. Looks like it might very well be the boarding marines from the cover of Shadows of Treachery. I'll be watching :P Ludovic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239900-imperial-fists/page/4/#findComment-3009450 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, have you considerd maybe using a logan wing? i've thought about as you can really have a personalised termie army. rob Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239900-imperial-fists/page/4/#findComment-3009470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well just finished my Heresy era Land Raider so thought I might as well post it here. Also I realized that I haven't posted Sigismund or the veteran boarding marine, so I'll correct that mistake as well. Any c&c welcome.

alloyslayer Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That Is an amazingly fantastic painted army, you should be really proud of them My favourite model is that boarding veteran, he looks epic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239900-imperial-fists/page/4/#findComment-3019034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Rathul Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hm. I imagined Sigismund to be Black, yellow, and white across all the armour or sumthin. But, it is superb. Two thumbs up sir.

Lachdannan Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 @alloyslayer: Thanks, I am quite proud of them. Have spent a lot of effort on these guys and its always nice I've done a good job on them. I'm currently in my WIP thread making the rest of that boarding marines squad. @Brother Rathul: Thanks Rathul. I did a considerable amount of research in order to get his armour correct. I think I've struck a happy medium. I know its not until the final siege on Terra that he gets named the Emperor's Champion and paints his armour black, but he has always been mentioned with his distinctive black and white heraldry, with the Maltese cross. I did find his description eventually in Horus Rising where he is described being in the 'golden armour' of the Fists but with his black and white heraldry. So in the end, I gave him the yellow armour but changed him pads to his personal heraldry, and I like the result. @Castellan Alaric: Cheers Castellan Alaric, very happy with them both. The Land Raider itself has been hanging around gathering dust for years, so its nice to be able to freshen it up for battle once more. @Dakkin'Outta'Control: Thanks for the kind words. It sure does, its one of the few armies I have that I can field completely painted, and it looks great seeing all that yellow on the field.

Lachdannan Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Well finished my next squad of marines for the Expansion. A set of 10 Boarding veterans. Spent a lot of time with freehand on these guys, so hope you like. Any c&c most welcome. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-388.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-389.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-390.jpg Next up is another Rogue Trader era Land Raider.

Tyrannicide Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Just an awesome sight, man. Well done. My favorite is the one of the left swinging his chainsword.

Lord Ragnarok Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 In the dictionary entry for an Imperial Fist marine I would picture one of these with the Mark III plate and boarding shields. Looking absolutely brutal. My favorite is also the swinging chainsword.

StormDragon Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The boarding marines look amazing. I love the battle damage on them it makes them look really brutal. I have to go with the others and say my favourite is the one swinging the chainsword. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239900-imperial-fists/page/4/#findComment-3050338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexCrute Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Not enough has yet been said about those boarding vets. :P There, that's better. Vote #3 for chainsword backhander. It's a wonderful way to use up boring bolter arms isn't it?

Lachdannan Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 @AlexCrute: Cheers! Yeah the chainsword marine is one of my favourites, and was a bit of a pain to pin together, but worked out in the end. @Castellan Alaric: Thanks! I based them off the Shadows of Treachery artwork. Go the full how to in my WIP thread. @Mantras: The fists are actually 2nd Edition space marine fists. Got the idea from someone on here, though I can't remember who.

Lachdannan Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Here is the finished Land Raider in all its glory. Its a little shiny still due to the Agrax Earthshade, but hoping to get a Matt spray to fix that. Next up is a small squad of Huscarls in terminator armour. As always any c&c most welcome. http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-396.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-397.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-398.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-399.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb383/lachdan/Picture-400.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239900-imperial-fists/page/4/#findComment-3055516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude with a Brush Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 At the moment I have very mixed feelings. Because dang those marines look nice, battledmg and OSL just makes them pure epicness ;) But then the OSL on that tank looks tacky, and metals look, well, kinda boring :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239900-imperial-fists/page/4/#findComment-3055539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thanks Dude with a Brush. Quite happy with the boarding marines. To be honest the OSL on the Raider is not something I'm 100% happy with, but since I've got a few deadlines coming up, I think I'll leave it for now. What was it you didn't like/could add to the metallic?
