WolfofWinter Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I normally paint Space Wolves, or SoB, but I wanted to have a go at doing something a little out of my comfort zone, so I thought i'd have a go at an Imperial Fist. I did a bit of research on the web, and saw a looooot of different interpretations. I wanted my guy to look like he'd seen action, and didn't want him too bright and cheery. I like to think he turned out just where I wanted him. Pretty pleased with the results, although I wish I had a couple of clearer pictures now... Now, to try something that is red... >shudders< http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab241/lairofthehorde/Imperial%20Fist%2010-16-13_zpsltswtkvs.png C&C welcome!

Dosjetka Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Excellent result! For someone painting yellow for the first time, I'm really impressed :) Is there any chance we'll see some more Imperial Fists in the near future?

WolfofWinter Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks! Well, I actually really enjoyed painting him, and there is something to be said for painting weathered yellow, I think it makes rust etc really pop, so I'd say there is a good chance of some more coming down the line I have some surplus termies that I could probably do to keep him company!

SnorriSnorrison Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Well mate, I think he looks very cool. The battle damage is very well done, and the yellow has a nice tone to it! Nice shading, it looks quite natural. I struggled a lot with my first attempt at painting yellow, so well done doing it on a larger scale! Neat details as well, the "shaved" head looks good, as do the writing and freehand. I'm pretty sure the sword looks awesome too, wouldn't mind another shot of that. What would be improvable is the face, I know that the BR minis are a bit less sharp in details, however some eyes wouldn't hurt. It just feels like it got less attention than the rest. Anyways, good on ya mate. Do a Blood Angel now!

I'll have to get some more shots and post them in the thread. Not sure i'll be painting any Blood Angels, but I have some Word Bearers... That's a very well done fist! Thank you good sir! >doffs cap< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312560-first-attempt-at-an-imperial-fist/#findComment-4151046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
