Kizzdougs Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Brilliant work! The gold/yellow really makes the minis look like they're almost 'glowing', it really brings them to life. The bases are also great and add a lot of character to the Cataphractii :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289905-heresy-era-imperial-fists-metallic-colour-scheme/page/3/#findComment-3686724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicant Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hey Corai, If you ever paint any vehicles in this scheme, please post pictures! I would love to see how that turned out.

karden00 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Sexiest Fists ever. Really, hands down. If I could be so bold as to point something out that looked a bit off to me (I hate to sound so presumptuous) it would be the little laurel on the right leg of the first marine you posted on page one. The laurel, which would look fabulous on any other paint scheme, is kinda lost on top of the gold. Perhaps a silver or even green might make that detail pop a touch more? Of course, its an amazing model, and that is just a very small observation I'm making Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289905-heresy-era-imperial-fists-metallic-colour-scheme/page/3/#findComment-3701381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Marcus Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Topic Followed! Mate your stuff is impeccable!

GrandMagnus Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Daaaamn I just love your golden yellow. Those terminators look brutal, I like the mix of Justaering and regular tartaros terminators.

TheForgottenAngel Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 If I saw these on the table I would steal them ....... but seriously you almost made me want to start an Imperial Fist force. Your Imperial Fisters are Fistfuls of Freaking Fisty Awesomeness.

Kamehameha! Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 These are pretty special, man. Can't wait to see that Praetor with a bit of paint on him!Mind sharing how you get that lovely rust effect on the bases? Looks awesome.

corai Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks Fraters! If I could be so bold as to point something out that looked a bit off to me (I hate to sound so presumptuous) it would be the little laurel on the right leg of the first marine you posted on page one. The laurel, which would look fabulous on any other paint scheme, is kinda lost on top of the gold. Perhaps a silver or even green might make that detail pop a touch more? Of course, its an amazing model, and that is just a very small observation I'm making I know what you're saying, but I decided to leave it just gold like it was embossed detailing on the armour (like you see on a lot of artwork for the emperor) rather than detail grafted on (I was also not trying to pull focus from the more traditionally heresy sections like the chest and helmet). If I were going to use the model as a character I'd probably do more but he's destined to end up as the sergeant of a support squad I think so he doesn't need too much bling! now... MOOOOOAAAAARRRRRR... Pleeeeaaaaaase Soon...soon. I've got another 5 termis on the painting desk waiting for a dry day to undercoat and after that I'm torn between doing a 10 man breacher squad with a dreadclaw as a ride, or a 10 man THSS termi squad using the phoenix guard terminators as the base (lovely detail, already have loin cloths and knightly helms), lopping off the eagle wing on the shoulder (replace with templar or grey knight tilt shield) and sculpting a chest tabard to connect with the loin cloth for some heresy era Templar tartaros termis to run around with Sigismund. These are pretty special, man. Can't wait to see that Praetor with a bit of paint on him!Mind sharing how you get that lovely rust effect on the bases? Looks awesome. It's deceptively simple. The base is all given a basecoat of leadbelcher. Washed with nulnoil. Drybrushed with leadbelacher and ironbreaker and then pinwashed with the new oxide wash (who's name escapes me, the turquoise verdigris one). Then another drybrush of ironbreaker and onto the typhus corrosion. Liberally on the bottom of the base, pinwashed on the rest. Finally stipple Charadon granite, then black to get blast effects and stipple Ryza rust over prominent sections to diffuse it. Hope that helps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289905-heresy-era-imperial-fists-metallic-colour-scheme/page/3/#findComment-3702024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
horiable Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 You did a beautiful job, brother! I have to ask, how did you add the spikes to the shoulder pads on the terminators?

corai Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Been a while since I've done any of these as I've had some square based deadlines come up. I have started painting Captain Anvillach and his termi friends, but in the meantime I've been knocking out a few counts as conversions too: Lets start with the big man, Rogal Dorn: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/photo1_zps419a19cc.jpg It's just a counts as until FW gives us an official model so I wasn't too concerned that the chest detailing isn't accurate etc, it'll do as a get me by until then And what would Lor Dorn with out his first Captain? http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/photo2_zps07060755.jpg This is a ridiculously simple conversion for Sigismund. I wanted somethign which will work, but which I won't feel bad about shelving once an official mdoel come sout, so when FW release their Sigismund, this guy gets relegated to a templar brethren or legion champion Speaking of Templar Brethren http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/photo3_zps3dbaedbe.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/photo4_zps8be5dfee.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/photo5_zps9a3fe719.jpg I'm really happy with these guys. I'm planning another 5 using the same mdoels but drilling out the bare heads and adding mre FW legion helms. Hopefully these will see some paint after I finish the terminators!

corai Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Been a while since I've been able to do much hobby of late but I've finally finished Captain Anvillach http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IF7_zpsecd19122.jpg and a second termi squad to run around with him http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IF1_zps22dcdf35.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IF2_zpsbe55880b.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IF3_zpsd0f86083.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IF4_zpsc07e309f.jpg And here's how the small army is looking so far: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IF5_zpsc2a93b8a.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/Corai/IF6_zpsa7438b3f.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289905-heresy-era-imperial-fists-metallic-colour-scheme/page/3/#findComment-3833276 Share on other sites More sharing options...

corai Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks guys I even got a rare chance to run themacross a table last night. The shiney new paint job must have offered some extra protection as I seemingly couldn't fail anarmour save and the traitorous turn coats were gleefully swept beneath the feet of the VII!

Millicant Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Corai, I am EAGERLY awaiting any time that you apply this brilliant scheme to some vehicles. I'd love to see how it turns out, as well as get your feedback on how to make it work. If I haven't already expressed it - these are incredible. I'm working hard to imitate you right now, actually. Don't worry - I will definitely be sending credit your way for this scheme.

I've got only a handful of grey knights left to paint before I can get back to full speed Imperial fists, especially as I need 2.5K fully painted for the campaign weekend in April (link in sig if anyone else wants to attend) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289905-heresy-era-imperial-fists-metallic-colour-scheme/page/3/#findComment-3919057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
