lionofjudah Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I love the Fists colors and the look of the Hands ... I'm combining the two and starting my siege force...:) This guy is very WIP... primed black, coat of brown, brown/yellow, yellow and a wash of Vallejo Smoke... http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/E88CC87A_zps62aabaec.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289845-starting-my-iron-fists/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Some more work on Veteran Sergeant Alrion aligned as a tech adept with the Iron Fist chapter. He is a comptroller for Castellex Battle automata and will be armed with a Thunder hammer. http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/photo_zps186d4c7d.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289845-starting-my-iron-fists/#findComment-3661927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Made a lil more progress... http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/5E3A4638_zpsee7d0e38.jpg http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/8C24AA96_zpsf975f2b0.jpg http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Snapbucket/F280977D_zps7e1c05a5.jpg Ordered 2 Rapier destroyers and 2 packs of iron hands mkiii pads for my guys... With the rapier crewmen I will have enough dudes for a 20 man squad. Have 3 thallax and a castella for the mechanicum alliance thus far. I am resisting the temptation to get started on them until I work on my guard a lil more. Let me know what y'all think of the scheme. Also, wondering if you think the cog on the vex and his chest should be black or red to denote vet status or mechanicum status. Will be painting a half mechanicum skull/ 1/2 hand-fist in the vex.. (at least I will try my best :)! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289845-starting-my-iron-fists/#findComment-3663765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Wait. So, is this a Legion force that has adopted another's tactics during the Heresy, or a Chapter in the 41st millennium that still structures itself around the Legion template?

lionofjudah Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 This will be a legion force leading my guard army whenever the humble might of the militarium is graced with some HH goodness! I believe in a combined arms tactical approach and outside of my Wolves have been fond of the Imperial Fists yellow and the story of Rogal Dorn's defense of Terra and the Iron Hands implacable approach to warfare, their fascination with the perfection of the form for fighting on in the utilization of cybernetics and the fall of their primarch at Istavaan. I feel like both of these Legions are a balance to one another and their appearance on the table will be a nice balance in the yellows of the Fists and the blacks of the Hands by basing my force on Veterans of the Fists.

Ah, gotcha. Makes sense now, and I'm definable curious where you take these guys. :) Beautiful work on the glow of the Volkite weapon, by the way.

Probably will only be an Apoc sized army group...feel it befitting my chosen theater:) Feeling a one at a time painting will allow for some serious attention to each of these gorgeous minis.

Hyaenidae Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Lol, I got that same tech laced head laying about somewhere, but I've been too much of a wuss to use it, because of all the crazy bits and bobs sticking outta his skull. If I could make a suggestion? Mix either some light grey, or light blue into your white. It helps with coverage, gives the pigment a bit of strength, and allows you to edge highlight in pure white. Just a thought. Looking good so far, man. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289845-starting-my-iron-fists/#findComment-3668111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Thx heathens... Is the white to strong on the x on his vambrace? I try n thin and mix as much as possible n layer up my paints.

Hyaenidae Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It kinda seems like it actually isn't getting enough coverage, to be honest. I also was originally noticing the eagle's wings on the shoulder plate, but I just realized that you used grey intentionally. My bad, man.

lionofjudah Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Is actually Privateer Press coal black over black and a black/gray hilight layer. I got the idea from Extermination, page 66 and Legionary Gunther's armour. Also, I'm using a new yellow recipe that seems a little better. Black primer, bootstrap brown, bb/vomit brown, vomit brown/deep yellow.
