WingsOfTheFalcon Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 First things first, my apologies to any fans of my Iron Snakes army, as it's been 'rebranded'. Nothing painted to show yet but here is my take on Pedro Kantor: http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_luwz4hzl4i1qd9z3no1_1280.jpg Love to hear your thoughts, hopefully some shiny yellow coming this way soon!

Olis Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'd like to echo Dorns_fist - nice adaption for your Kantor proxy but I hope that he's got the right backpack on! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242163-imperial-fists-wip-thread/#findComment-2927474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Cheers for the feedback guys, and yes I did remember the ammo pack for Kantor!

Redfinger Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I think something that really makes yellow pop is contrast, I personally think the yellow looks a little flat, and if you added some contrast it would make for a lot nicer look.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 @redfinger - Yeah I agree, the yellow needs a lot more work. I've only done a basecoat and light wash, no highlights yet. Hopefully that will help to make it pop a bit more?

Brother Pheidias Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Everybody loves the 5th. Company :) Looking forward to finished pieces, and that Kantor works really well!

AngryJohnny Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 It's too bad about your Iron Snakes, I really liked them. That said, I am a proud Son of Dorn, so any IF/CF/BT army is a win in my book. I like your Kantor counts as. I always liked the model your using for his base & wish I could have got my hands on one. Everyone does 5th company IF though, I say you should go with 4th company. Green looks really good with yellow. (I'm not biased or anything :)) Nice start on your yellow - are you of the brighter yellow or darker yellow camp for the IF?

Lorenzen Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hadouken! surely you mean Shoryuken? the yellow on the emprah's champion looks a little thick.. and tbh id could do with a higher contrast to it.. yellow isnt something ive played about with too much but a dark brown/black wash in the recesses could do it the world of good i think Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242163-imperial-fists-wip-thread/#findComment-2929370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly_bear Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 That's very good free handing there fella, may I suggest or ask if you have used ogryn flesh as a wash for your base oat of yellow?

Redfinger Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 That's very good free handing there fella, may I suggest or ask if you have used ogryn flesh as a wash for your base oat of yellow? Ogryn will give your yellow an orange hue, I would recommend a mix of Sepia and Mud. Of course you could get some burnt umber oil paint and blend that into your yellow, that is what I have done on my marines; I think your highlighting is coming along, but you need to start working some shadow into your yellow.

d Karma b Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 It left my fingers before I could stop typing... the tac boys look like they're all set to burst into song and dance. :P That freehand is very well done (I'm green with envy right now) and the bastard-halberd weapon (looks more like a nagitana to me) is awesome. Well worth following to see how you bring the rest of your force to life. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242163-imperial-fists-wip-thread/#findComment-2932956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
