Back at the yellow

Greetings frater!!

Ive been focused on my guard army, FoW and finding my way with a new airbrush and am excited to be back at painting the glorious yellows of the VIIth! I got my second copy of Extermination and have been re-enjoying the color playes (sold my 1st one after a digital donwload... I like paper!)

This will be a spot where I post my meanderings through finishing my Heresy Fists so that I can sell them and dedicate my energy to building and painting a (second for me) true scale army.

I built a Wolves true scale army when their 'dex dropped in 5th and my goodness that was an intense labour of love on my part... the sourcing for all those termi legs and the like left me wanting more of that awesome 8' transhuman physiology looking like hes actually 8' tall next to my guard dudes;)

Then the Heresy became reality and I was swept into 30k with a vengeance... I sold everything I had (except my sons orks) and dove head first into the fluff explosion. The train was a blast and with the passing of Mr Bligh seems to have taken many hits in the FW realm that I no longer know whether it/ we will ever get to the siege.

I traded the first Heresy Fists army 4 years ago to a lovely Brit for all kinds of FW guard armor and that reinspired me to biggerize my dudes. The second Heresy Fists army grew from the ashes of the first and now I have a large army almost fully weathered and ready.

The upcoming Fists will be based on our esteemed fraters works on true/art/big scaling marines. The plastics available this time around are incredible! I have a set of plastic Cat and Tart as well as the primaris side of DI, a true scale rhino kit from Blood & Skulls (its a deimos kit Tom did years ago), 2 sets of FW custodes termis (apologist beat me to using them as a bigger and bulkier termi), a Telemon dread Im going to use as a Levi as well as the lightning from my current army (favorite paint job Ive done so it stays:) and a Glaive.

BUT, I shall be ready, the sons of Dorn will be ready to hold the line at the siege and let the traitors and heretics shatter themselves against out shield and impale themselves upon our sword.

Shown here is the last of 3 Javelin las speeders and the 2 members of my predator squadron. (Plas pred is rocking a shapeways upgrade kit and the autocannon dude is owning it in a Blood&Skulls ensemble)

yellows laid down...tried the airbrush over straight white...OMG...so much easier than spraying the black/grey/white :/

second layer of yellow, filled in the blacks and then lined everything in burnt umber- it was late when I finished up and not super happy with the line integrity in some places. Ill be starting metals and base the tracks and then varnish, then weather.

Overview of current painting portion of the project... a few odds and ends- need a head on 1 dude, 2 guys need arms, 3 need weapons, the co champions sword broke off (Sighs heavily in regards to FWs flimsy resin swords and halbred tips :down: ...), 2 or 3 pads and that should have them straight.

Few more termis and the contemptor

Decided as he other termis are all CC armed that these guys would complement them with the combimeltas and heavy flamer.

Idea is to deepstrike them with Sigismund and wreck face.

The contemptor, sweet brother
