Awaken_Realms Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hello, For a significant amount of time we’ve been working recently on a Horus Heresy era army of Imperial Fists army of big proportion, centered around Sigismund taking the war to Mars – we’ve painted it in a less-common, metallic approach rather than usual bright yellow. How do you like the final effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikhalLeNoir Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Okay. That is awesome. Do you have maybe a tutorial how you achieved the gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedInventor Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Looks great, the yellow is definitely unique. I really like the techmarine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphariusOmegon108 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Damn! Could you tell us what colors were used for that gold armor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Talon Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Wow awesome painting... but what happened to the cockpit glazing on the fire raptor? Looks like someone fat-fingered the ejector button for the cockpit.... Seriously though, it looks like the glass is missing. As for the subdued metallic color, it's hit or miss. I can see good and bad parts about the overall color tone used. My biggest beef however, is all of that green. I could definitely see if being used, yes.. but it's used a bit abundantly. Kind of in the same way that I don't necessarily approve the notion that every space marine should have blood-red eye lenses on the helmets. Not every weapon needs the same exact color highlighting. E.G.: Blue plasma coils, green/orange volkite glows, purple/green/random grav-gun, and so on. If it works for the customer, then nice. personally, that light just meshes horribly with the color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Eh, skillful painting but definitely not the scheme I would have chosen. And I must agree with Brother Talon, too much green. And why would the Auto-cannons have osl? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It is well done, but hate the colour scheme. The colours are suited for Custodian Guards not Imperial Fists. Imperial FIsts are yellow, this is not even a metallic yellow, it is brown gold. Also I think the green OSL is a bit overpowering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 While excellently painted, I'm not overly keen on the scheme itself (Imperial Fists are yellow, these guys look like GDI) and there is just too much OSL, both in quantity and intensity for my liking.

AGPO Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'll stand up for the colour scheme. It's an original take and I think better reflects the character of the fists. 2nd Co Ultramarines went from yellow to gold, and even the studio Fists have gone from canary to mustard yellow down the years. There's room in this hobby for interpretation and IMO this one works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratboy1664 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 It would be interesting to know if GW would have chosen this more golden scheme over yellow if the paints had existed at the time to allow such a scheme. On the other hand at first glance you would not recognise this as an Imperial Fists army (more likely a successor) and so in that regard I think the interpretation doesn't work but like AGPO said nothing ventured nothing gained.

sockwithaticket Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I thought these were Minotaurs on first glance. The green is overdone and clashes badly with the scheme. In many cases it's applied completely nonsensically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiltysparc Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I actually really like the color scheme, clearly well done technically, and I think it's a cool take on IF yellow. Though I find the green osl a little wonky on the non-energy weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
