tdemayo Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 After much dithering, and a few different test models, I have decided to start some Heresy Era Imperial Fists. Most of my initial models are GW plastics, as I am on a limited budget, and am saving my Forgeworld dollars for unique tanks. Here is a test run of some tactical marines. I am aiming for a mid-Heresy force, leading up to the Battle for Terra. So I don't mind having some Mark VI heads or ersatz Mk V pieces. These Marines are about 1:1:1 Loyalist Tac Marines:Chaos Marines:Khorne Berserker parts, with some additional heads from bits order, and some leftover bolter arms: http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/HHTestIFs1_zpsfe3c4a74.jpg[/url] A converted Rhino, with a front made of plasticard: http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/ConvertedDeimosRhino2_zpsee509bbf.jpg http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/ConvertedDeimosRhino_zps11a67ffe.jpg A more ambitious attempt to made a Land Raider Proteus, with old-school treads. I'm not entirely happy with the results. The top and front don't have quite the right shape. http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/ConvertedProteus_zps11646741.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293642-bananarama-beginning-imperial-fists/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 This looks like an awesome start! I would recommend painting the bases in a way that makes them more uniform, but it could just be the picture.

tdemayo Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Oh, yeah. I think the base rims still have some paint slop I need to clean up when I finish the batch.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I like the vehicles conversions. They are very impressive. WLK Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293642-bananarama-beginning-imperial-fists/#findComment-3742981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdemayo Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 More Imperial Fists. I have completed the Rhino and the Land Raider. (I think maybe I have overdone the dirty look.) http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/LandRaiderandRhinoIF_zps639b758a.jpg http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/LandRaiderIF3_zpsccc4afaf.jpg http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/LandRaiderIF2_zps5e519299.jpg http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/LandRaiderandRhinoIF_zps639b758a.jpg http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/RhinoIF1_zpsf1caba23.jpg http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/RhinoIF4_zps9e1ecd86.jpg http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/RhinoIF3_zps164a3271.jpg http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w535/tdemayo/40k/RhinoIF2_zps89d20861.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293642-bananarama-beginning-imperial-fists/#findComment-3754418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Cool stuff. I like the use of Warriors of Chaos helms. It's always common for chaos marines that it's nice to see them being used for a loyalist faction. Although I'm sure they've been used before on loyalists this is the first time I seen it.

Bob Hunk Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Nice work on the vehicle conversions, I think the Land Raider looks ace. :) Quick question, the Marine that's on the far left of the first picture, second row back, where's that helmet from if you don't mind me asking? I can't quite make it out. Is it BA or Sternguard?

tdemayo Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 I think it's Sternguard, with the crux on the forehead. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293642-bananarama-beginning-imperial-fists/#findComment-3754929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
