Freakiq Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Grew bored of my Ultramarine army and decided to strip all 4500 points of them. In my search for a simple scheme to repaint them in I found that Casandora Yellow over white was the quickest way to get a marine finished and looking decent. Attending a paintathon this weekend, will have at least a squad finished by Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yellow looks nice. Some more foreshortening would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 That is one very nice Imperial Fist, although battle damage is beyond my skills, yours is bang on. Right spots, not over the top. I look forward to seeing this army develop. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 That's quite good. Just gonna leave the eyes yellow? How are you doing your weathering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiq Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 @Darkven: What do you mean by foreshortening? @Grotsmasha: Thanks. That's quite good. Just gonna leave the eyes yellow?How are you doing your weathering? The eyes are actually red with orange highlights. Might make them less orange in the rest of the army to make them stand out against the yellow. The battle damage is just Stormvermin Fur mixed with a bit of black applied before the yellow wash. After the wash I painted minor highlights in white underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Perspective/camera angle. Sorry, not sure how it translates into English properly :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Chronicler Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 So let me get this right...you used only a white basecoat and Cassandra yellow with a few white highlights to makes such a beautiful yellow colour scheme? That is genius brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Lovely work. Loving the yellow. But does this mean that you're ditching your Star Phantoms too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiq Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Lovely work. Loving the yellow. But does this mean that you're ditching your Star Phantoms too? Sadly, yes. They're a lovely chapter but the work to make them look even decent was too much. Perspective/camera angle. Sorry, not sure how it translates into English properly Ah, then I understand, no worries. Will post more angles when I've got more marines painted. So let me get this right...you used only a white basecoat and Cassandra yellow with a few white highlights to makes such a beautiful yellow colour scheme? That is genius brother! I painted some very thinned Badab Black into the recesses to darken them a bit before the yellow wash. But yeah, it's very quick. Can't take credit though, an anonymous painter on /tg/ gave me the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Ah, a shame. But yeah, I get the reason behind you letting go the Star Phantoms. Actually, I may follow your technique to paint the Imperial Fist army I've always wanted. Crediting you, of course, for the idea :) EDIT: Oh, and I do love the fact that you paint the cooling vents on the backpacks in gunmetal silver. Looks great and breaks up the yellow quite effectively :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattleBrotherJohn Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 That is a very handsome Imperial Fist . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 "Looking decent", eh? I'd like to see what your level of "great" is. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bro Castiel Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Very nice effort. You have some very nice skills on show here. The battle damage is something i have never quite been able to pull off, and as such my marines go into battle with their armor shining as if it the first time it since being unveiled by the tech-priests. Yours however look like they have seen significant action. I commend you! Keep up the awesome work mate! Cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febelcrofas Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Grew bored of my Ultramarine army and decided to strip all 4500 points of them.. This makes me a sad panda :( seriously though that fist is awesome and as others have said your weathering is top notch. Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Very nice marine. Might have to try that out for myself. For the effort involved looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
