lionofjudah Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So i cant find my previous posts on my army painting activities so figured Id start another thread and use it to show all the fun of painting and converting my Imperial Fists army. I am a painter and not so much a gamer so some of the dudes may not be armed with 'legal' options as I move through this blog- not to worry as each will also have an appropriate fluff reason for anything and everything:) I am adding to my ETL completion of http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps3toyinps.jpeg and http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsrktt7jrj.jpeg These are all wip members of Siege grenadier Sectum 33 under the command of Piongren Instructor Ryiodin E'modii- he's the cat sporting the templar cross. This squad from a mixed platoon of counter sappers based in the Obligarch kommidi sector of the 92nd's full frontal defense of the Perdition gate at the Siege of Terra. http://i.imgur.com/28h2kb3.jpg Im working on fluff for each member of the squad and will be adding these guys to my HH force. This is my second round of IF army painting and I really enjoy painting yellow;). I have the rest of this squad built using Immortals bodies and will prime them asap.

Doctor Perils Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Very good looking yellow stuff ;) I have to ask: is there any logic behind the different arm, pad and head colourings? I suppose a lot of it denotes rank, but I'd love to have a more detailed explanation :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325271-lions-log-of-glorious-yellowness-the-ironfists-of-the-viith/#findComment-4483425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 These men of the 92nd are all veterans of dozens of sieges and display their prowess in various ways- the blackened gauntlets on several shall display tactical markings and acheovenments during campaigns, the red shoulders mark several of the men's acknowledgement that the blood of their brothers of Clan aveinii was shed on Istvaan. The blacked helms are of Terran veterans and the red helmed dude, Maxis, is my vexilla bearer who is wearing the helmet of his mentor in the 92nd, honour guard Vaxilly Drogun, who was slain during the initial assaults o the Perdition gate by the World Esters. The vexilla bearers of the 92nd are honored and revered as exemplars of their unit and Maxis is a true Inwitian. He lost his own helm protecting Medicae brother Svarti who was rescuing the fallen Droguns gene seed. Maxis attained the 92nds honour colors from the fallen Drogun while attempting to reach the flashpoint storm section that was defending the breach. As the 92nds colors approached a choir of angels wrath descended on jump packs to assist the beleaguered defenders in pressing the Eaters back and retaking the lost Avenue of Prisrch which was objective primaris for the Eaters that 4th day of the fall.

Brother Pheidias Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm liking these alot. They have a cartoony look about them, not technicolour, but more of a gritty, 90's style comicbook with anitheroes and Xtreme Kool Letterz :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325271-lions-log-of-glorious-yellowness-the-ironfists-of-the-viith/#findComment-4484712 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionofjudah Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 So I know I have said it before but I am reformatting my army idea... still at the siege...still a pioneerkompanie and now with added god machines. Ive prepared my 1500 list for the Tale of 20 challenge as well as the Imperial Fists Expansion. Here the tale of 20 list- Id like to throw my hat in the ring for this... 92nd, the Ironfists of the VIIth. heres my list: HQ Legion Centurion with AA, PW, boarding shield, MB and JP-110 Elites Contemptor- CCW/ Chainfist, 2 grav guns and a DDP- 305 3 thudd guns with shatter shell-180 Troops- Legion assault squad- sgt with AA, PW, 2 PW, MBs all around-270 Tac squad-sgt with AA, MB, PF, vex, vox and add CCW in a rhino-235 Fast attack Sky HUnters- MB, culverin-160 Heavy Support Fire Raptor with AC-210 Now having found that the new FAQ means only 1 MB per squad means Ill be dropping the MB's from the assault squad as well as adding combat shields to them. Will probably throw combat shields on them as well as adding a few moar dudes there maybe. Ive added an Atrapos as well as a Warhound... now we're talking breaking out the airbrush and learning new skills as the weather chills as well as rethinking the broader implications on the tabletop. For a 3k list I can now add a small knight contingent (have an archeon and am thinking about a regular GW knight to round out the 3) as well as the points investment of the warhound. Wonder what legio the frater might recommend for the hound being allied with the fists at terra. Im thinking continuing the Hawkshroud house theme for the knights and would like a complemtary color for the hound to balance the yellows. Speaking of, Ive started a small Salamanders and BA contingent to add in some other colors as well as bringing on the 'ights to the table. The colors of Ras shall be seen again and the 5th edition army of the Lions of Judah shall at least have a representative back on my table;). These will count as Fissts in my army and fit into my army by being on an exchange mission with the Fists at Terra when the greater heresy broke and the travesty at Istvaan became known. The Salamanders (5 man pyroclast squad repurposed to be parts of a tac squad) received their orders to stay at Terra and learn the art of counter siege to share with their parent legion once they had cleansed the traitors on Istvaan...upon learning of the betrayal there each man swore that they would not leave their position at the gate until their brothers loss had been avenged. The angels were on Mars with a tech brother developing a high speed jump pack delivery unit when the heresy saw them embroiled in the defense of Mars as agents of the XXth sowed destruction amidst the factorium. The Fists on Mars assisted the Angels in tracking down the traitors and the remaining angels accompanied them to Terra to mount the defense there. Ahhh....here is the 'in' on the Warhound;)... I hope to get a bunch of sleep at some point and sit down to write out a big ole piece of fluff. :) Thanks for your joy in this hobby of ours:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325271-lions-log-of-glorious-yellowness-the-ironfists-of-the-viith/#findComment-4494999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Short update- been rocking a holy hell cough for a few weeks now and between RL and that I've not been sleeping enough to take advantage of my late nights painting time. Still rocking the cough but finally have an update- http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsqtcblnvv.jpeg http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsilckdseq.jpeg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325271-lions-log-of-glorious-yellowness-the-ironfists-of-the-viith/#findComment-4526273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionofjudah Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 The 2 dudes are part of an allied BA attachment that will include these 2 dudes as part of a veteran squad, a 15 man assault squad with a jump praetor and a squad of jet bikes.
