Seahawk Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I have discovered the ridiculously easy way to paint Imperial Fists: Prime white, one coat of Casandora Yellow wash, and done. :P So I felt like painting up one of my extra captains this way for funsies. It's quite a shock to put him next to my recently painted Typhus (down the threads page a bit) and realize just how BRIGHT the Imperial Fists scheme is. That's okay, I like it. I like this method as it's very similar to the 'eavy Metal paint job of the '90's. Anyway, gaming-standard IF dude! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/comparisonshots2.jpg This is probably the way I'll be painting most of my yellows on marines from now on.

Olis Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Wow, that's a ridiculously good yellow for that simple recipe. Not a fan of the green base, but then, I'm just nitpicking. Nice job. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262207-imperial-fists-5th-co-captain/#findComment-3193629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 It matches my Ultramarines bases, and I otherwise don't care for bases, so blaaaaaa :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262207-imperial-fists-5th-co-captain/#findComment-3193630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 A very simple an effective technique. Though he does look a little lonely there all by himself... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262207-imperial-fists-5th-co-captain/#findComment-3194157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 For yellow, not half-bad at all. Nicely done. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262207-imperial-fists-5th-co-captain/#findComment-3194193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 hah, love how such a simple recipe can have such good results! nice miniature, though it looks like the bottom of the face could do with some touching up? might just be the pic though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262207-imperial-fists-5th-co-captain/#findComment-3194252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 His chin really is that jowly. I got it second-hand, and he used a bit too much...whatever on attaching the head, so I stuck with it and gave him a funny face. Still, I did a meh job on the face. Mainly it was to show off the yellow :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262207-imperial-fists-5th-co-captain/#findComment-3194335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapter master Benji Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Very similar to how I do my world eaters. prime black, spray coat of angels red, and wash of baal red. done. Wonderful natural shaded look and you can move right 2 doing the details that bring the piece altogether. Well done.

Dosjetka Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Looking good, Seahawk :D Though he does look a little lonely there all by himself... :blink: He does, doesn't he? :lol: Ludovic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262207-imperial-fists-5th-co-captain/#findComment-3194489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Simply beautiful and beautifully simple. Kudos! Method noted. Not so interested in doing IFs but rather some Scythes of the Emperor.

Validar Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'd paint the trims something (black seems fitting), but yeah, great job Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262207-imperial-fists-5th-co-captain/#findComment-3194559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I did not need to see this. Now I want to do an IF army. Its an army I've always wanted to do, but shied away from due to painting yellow. No longer! I happen to know that my brother has two lots of unassembled and unpainted AOBR marines under his bed... Time to visit my parents house and pillage them! Thanks for the inspiration.

tiny sam Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 It's quite a shock to put him next to my recently painted Typhus (down the threads page a bit) and realize just how BRIGHT the Imperial Fists scheme is. well it is somewhat intended, they are the Imperial Fist they don't run or hide. They raise their banner in the light and die as hero :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262207-imperial-fists-5th-co-captain/#findComment-3194711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verythrax Draconis Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Threadomancy? I loved it, it nice, as I hate painting yellow as well. Is there a way to make the yellow look a bit more paler? Or maybe it's just the camera that gives that orange/redish tint to it?

Seahawk Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 It's mostly the camera; it's fairly pale, only the shaded areas show any kind of orange. That's alright though, because that's what good shading on yellow looks like.

Firepower Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 That face...he looks like Statler. Or maybe Waldorf. I can't remember which is which. Very pretty all the same ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262207-imperial-fists-5th-co-captain/#findComment-3237754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy-xc Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Wow, I needed this thread. Awesome painting tip. Gonna start trying it. I have a HUGE backlog of IF marines that are pissed off that they've been waiting for paint for over 20 years, lol.
