almightyjesus55 Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 UPDATE Just finished another marine and gave the others IF icons, although I know they are red, but It was the only ones I had and my freehand fist looked bad. I also started working on my sergeant and Dreadnought... here are some wip pics...

Lachdannan Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Looks like they are a promising start. Those decals btw are the Crimson Fist ones. I'm sure when you get around to getting some boxed sets, you'll see the traditional Imperial Fists decals (on the white background). Â Still, your work is getting better. Hope to see a combat squad in the near future :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254724-imperial-fist/page/2/#findComment-3108459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyjesus55 Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks, and about the tactical squad I hope to get it done in like two weeks, but I am a slow painter so yeah. Also I'm hoping to get some actual IF decals so they actually look like IF. Finally do you know if you can repose plastic space marine like the forgeworld resin ones with hot water?

Lachdannan Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 No you can't. Reposing plastic, in my experience, is a lot of cutting, and pinning and greenstuff. You cut the limb into its general bits, pin them to the desired shape, and then GS the joints. Not easy (or at least for me, I always have trouble with it).

Dosjetka Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 No you can't. Reposing plastic, in my experience, is a lot of cutting, and pinning and greenstuff. You cut the limb into its general bits, pin them to the desired shape, and then GS the joints. Not easy (or at least for me, I always have trouble with it). Yes, it is indeed a pain in the arse. I tried to repose a pair of legs just the other night and it took me about two hours to get to where I am now and I still have got to re-attach a part of the leg, seal the opening with greenstuff and then do some more GS work. Too much hassle. Also, when you re-position the legs, the torsos look too small, so you have to bulk those out too. Â TL;DR version: Don't do it, as it is too much hassle for such a small thing.

lorenzo_ishivar_kain Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 My humble opinion mate, try the skull white spray.. I use a completely different method to paint IF, but I suggest you this one Skull white base-> seraphim sepia wash-> averland sunset-> Casandora yellow wash -> averland again except the recesses -> highlight with yriel yellow Or try this one skull white base and casandora yellow wash over it :) in the end you can highlight with white scar :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254724-imperial-fist/page/2/#findComment-3112657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyjesus55 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hm thanks mate I'll definitely try this, also except that I don't have the Casandora yellow wash, but can I try to do Agrax wash after the white base and use the Sepia wash instead of the yellow wash? Â Â EDIT: Nevermind saw the yellow wash, I do need it to try that recipe.

Lachdannan Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Those are coming along well. I might suggest adding a little water to your yellow, as I can tell its a little rough. But really that is a minor nitpick. I think for your first models, these are shaping up nicely!

almightyjesus55 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 I really should add alittle water to my yellow, but I just forget or get lazy lol.

Lachdannan Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Very cool. Â So what kind of bases were you thinking for these guys? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254724-imperial-fist/page/2/#findComment-3118274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyjesus55 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 I was thinking of giving them some type of urban rubble feel bases. Also in the following months I'm gonna start my pre-heresy Imperial Fist, so yeah.

Lachdannan Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Nice, Imperial Fists lend themselves well to rubble bases. I have found the 40k basing kit to be helpful, as well as any kind of bits and bobs around the house. Recently, I have been really getting into this hobby train store that has tons of cool bits, so its worth having a look around. Â And really, Heresy Era stuff is always a pleasure to see, look forward to it.
