Battle Captin Torodin Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I have been slowly building this army over a year or so, now everything is painted to a standard i am happy with i am working on their bases, because i model isnt truely finished until it is based. Bit by bit i will be sharing my completed force, but for now i am kicking things off with Rapier Crew, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304288-pre-heresy-imperial-fists/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo13 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Great yellow man. One thing you may want to add color to the plume to break the model up a bit. Overall looks fantastic, loving the iron warriors head on the base.

Jeff Newton Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah it looks great but the plume a bronze color would really break it up and help. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304288-pre-heresy-imperial-fists/#findComment-3969255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battle Captin Torodin Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Cheers, took me a while to sus out the best way of building a strong yellow. I understand where you're coming from but i am going for the almost homogenous, rank upon rank look. Just a side note, the head is Emperors Children, i did consider Iron Warriors but didnt think a grey/silver helmet on a grey base would add much so went for a dirty/dusty purple.

Battle Captin Torodin Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 A small up date now. Some of these aren't based yet but they are in the que. Apothecary (i actually have two but they're both MkIV so theres little point in taking more pics) The eagle eyed among you may notice my sergants dont have a left shoulder guard, they are currently on route from FW Big Block o' Boys Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304288-pre-heresy-imperial-fists/#findComment-3987260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle Captin Torodin Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks man, appreciate that. my method is: spray black, spray white (i find white over black gives a good base), base coat Averland Sunset (water it down quite a bit to get a smooth cover) wash with a mix of sepia and earthshade (about a 50/50 mix) apply averland sunset over the armour panels again leaving the wash in the recess, finally shade with lamenters yellow to make the yellow "pop" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304288-pre-heresy-imperial-fists/#findComment-3993410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
