Luke Jordan Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 hello folks, my first post here, so I thought I'd start off with a bang. These guys are my current commission, can't wait to get some stuff of my own done.

SteelPaladin Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 They look great! Very nice yellow, and top notch weathering. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293485-heresy-era-imperial-fists-for-dorn/#findComment-3740039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Pretty solid painting there. I think the basing may have been a mistake, though. You typically wanna choose a color that contrasts with the model. It's not a rule, mind you, but it is a common technique people use to help their models 'pop.'

Luke Jordan Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yeah, unfortunately the best contrast for yellow is purple, which would look weird... Just went for a reddish-brown Martian sort of thing.

Firepower Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 A simple gray stone or urban basing would've worked. It doesn't have to be the exact opposite side of the color wheel But what's done is done. Live and learn. Etc. Still, the marines are quite well painted Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293485-heresy-era-imperial-fists-for-dorn/#findComment-3740088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Jordan Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 They're a commission. The basing isn't really up to me tbf. But most folk seem quite keen on them. But as you say, what's done is done. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293485-heresy-era-imperial-fists-for-dorn/#findComment-3740116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
