Vich Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Afternoon all. Have started an Imperial fists force and would like to log my progress in some sort of paint blog. This thread will be picture heavy and excuse my painting standard i have alot to learn but hopefully people can give pointers on where to improve. Thanks in advance. http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0893_zpssgavu5su.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/IMAG0919_zpsea3sbmdp.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1016_zpsukhgseot.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1025_zps4ksn1mxa.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1056_zpswegmybvi.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1057_zpsr8bx9tnq.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1058_zpsd12ufbjd.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1066_zpsk9go96ta.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1149_zpsfyovphq2.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1152_zpszz5bpgn8.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1155_zpscaop5kbp.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1164_zps7q3gskja.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1003_zpscxr3z83p.jpg http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/zolpidems/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1004_zpsbmi7u12l.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312114-imperial-fists/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds Of Fury Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 As a fellow Fists I'm impressed. How are you painting? Just a base color and then a shader? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312114-imperial-fists/#findComment-4143220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vich Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Grizzly as it happens no I don't And winds. I airbrush a base then lighter colour from above then an oil wash at the end. I'm not a huge fan of stark highlights on marines. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312114-imperial-fists/#findComment-4143940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packe Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 As a person who can't paint "nice and tidy marines" I approve of this, allways loved Fist but me and Yellow does not work. Looking forward to seeing more stuff. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312114-imperial-fists/#findComment-4144017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Great looking Fists, though we'll have to differ on strong edge highlights. Love that stuff. It's my bread and butter. What are you planning on adding to the force in the future? And any fluff to share with us?

Adeptus-Alaska Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 yeah, that standard of painting thing..........wow, you paint better than most of my friends. and we've been at it for 2 decades. your yellow is solid and the grittyness is perfect with being over the top. well done all around. son of Dorn or no, that librarian would make a pretty fire.......

Looking forward to seeing more stuff. :) cheers dude. In my opinion fists should never be clean anyways. I've seen some really nice clean fists but dont feel they shoud be parade ground condition at all times. That and dirty is easier to paint..... Great looking Fists, though we'll have to differ on strong edge highlights. Love that stuff. It's my bread and butter. What are you planning on adding to the force in the future? And any fluff to share with us? oh strong edge highlights can work no doubt dude but for these guys it really wouldn't work. Strong edge highlights on a battleworn marine just doesn't quite look right in my opinion and for rank and file i find it pretty time consuming. As for upcoming units, alot of metal boxes, more dreadnoughts and next month a sicaran or 2 and lysander and some th/ss terminators. As for fluff these guys are yet to see battle so will forge a narrative around their upcoming battles. Loving that librarian! keep it up =) Cheers bud. Spent a bit more time on him. Just need to finish up the blue and he isnt far off finished. yeah, that standard of painting thing..........wow, you paint better than most of my friends. and we've been at it for 2 decades. your yellow is solid and the grittyness is perfect with being over the top. well done all around. son of Dorn or no, that librarian would make a pretty fire....... wow thanks dude means alot. Ive been painting just over a year but only really this year full time. I have alot to learn but have been lucky enough to be part of some great communities that have really helped my painting. And yeah the librarian is my nicest piece but I'm hesitant to battle damage him incase it all goes wrong.....
