WingsOfTheFalcon Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 I don't think my mobile has done the yellow much justice, here's the pic the GW staffer took of it: Got to pull together the remainder of a command squad in time for next month, what should I include?

Lachdannan Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Looking good. You thinking of doing a shooty or a close combat command squad?

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 I think it'll be a bit of a mix.. here's some models I'm thinking about including. It's more of a painting project, rule of cool applies so it doesn't have to be game legal. http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lybqraZOwV1qd9z3no1_500.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242163-imperial-fists-wip-thread/page/3/#findComment-2976305 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleal Baros Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 These guys are looking great. Sternguard were quite obviously sculpted to be yellow, the models scream IF.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Cheers guys, hopefully I'll get some pics in decent light of the whole group soon! Fyi, the recipe I'm using is: Basecoat Army Painter Deamonic Yellow Wash Gryphonne Sepia Layer Sunburst Yellow Edge highlights 50:50 Sunburst Yellow:Skull White Final highlight Skull White Very quick, I'd recommend it to anyone thinking about Imperial Fists.

Kuma Khan Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I love Imperial Fists. I bought a box of 5 marines together with my Grey Knights just to paint them up as Imperial Fists, but so far I have not dared yet :) .

verpine Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Very pretty, I like it. Not a fan of the bright bronze fuel canister, looks out of place, but I guess that's personal preference. Anyway these are very well done models. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242163-imperial-fists-wip-thread/page/3/#findComment-2988669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfinger Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I dont know if the bronze/brass color is that good of a choice, I think it kind of washes the yellow out.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hi Red, I think that might be largely down to my sh*tty cameraphone! The yellow is actually quite vibrant, I'll try to get a pic with my SLR as that will give a truer reflection of the colour. That, and the yellow hasn't been highlighted yet, I'm just trying to build up a nice flat colour atm.

Redfinger Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 yeah, it still doesn't work for me...to much "warm" going on..it is applied well and looks "technically" correct, but I am not digging the choice of colors.

zxyogi Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Looks good! With my Malevolent Dread I gave the gold or bronze some wear and tear and aged it as best as I could, it came out ok. Try and age your gold/bronze for a better effect!

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Oh well, you can't please everyone all of the time! Perhaps if I add some verdigris to the bronze it might have a better balance?

sioka Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Some times it is good to have elements of warm and cool colours on a mini the same as using contrasting colours. the yellow you have for the main colour seems to be quite a cool yellow so the bronze is a nice contrast due to its warmth, like you say some verdigri would add yet another element of depth to the mini the colour is natural alongside the bronze and adds contrast to the armour. If you decide to do this you could also think about using some very thin glazes of the verdigri mix to add depth to the yellow armour in the shade areas just remember to add some Vallejo glaze medium to your mix.
