Imperial Fists WIP

[chosonofchaos]

Thanks everyone. I have devised another scheme along the lines of a desert/wasteland fighting force. I haven't done any highlights yet but the basic scheme is zandri dust for armour and corvus black for fatigues.

This test piece is for how I would paint the vehicles along side the other scheme. Ive used skavenblight dinge instead of corvus for the armour as i think corvus might be too dark.

As for army makeup,it will be a heavily mechanized army I''ll probably end up with 5 or 6 leman russ with hellhounds and maybe some basilisks. Let me know what you think, I am very much suffering from decision paralysis at the moment so any help would be great.

I prefer the DoW-inspired scheme. Speaking of, would you mind sharing what paints you used for it, please?

Lovely fists!

 

Personally, I'm quite partial to the first guard scheme. The second one looks good, but it's very similar to the Fists. If you're planning on fielding them together, it might look a bit too same-ey?

Yeah I think I'll stick with this scheme but might do a couple of tweaks. So the armour is based with 'corvus black' shaded with 'nuln oil' then edged with 'mechanicus std' then 'dawnstone'. The fatigues use base of 'castellan green' shaded with 'nuln oil' (I might actually swap this for a green shade) then edged with 'loren forrest' and 'straken green'.

Here is the test model now based. It looks a bit out of place with forest camo on a wasteland/desert base. Perhaps they were just issued with the wrong kit by the munitorum?

So I haven't posted in awhile with progress being very slow with the way my works going at the moment but I though I might make a post of my recent completions. I've managed to get some things painted. Ive just finished the two dreads and the chaplain which ended up taking a couple of months with my limited painting time. I completed the scout bikers earlier this year for a comp in January. I'm definitaly happy with the way everythings coming out lately. Hope you all like.

Excellent work on the sons of Dorn.

Love the scout bikes! Great squad.

Finally got the last of my tactical and devastator marines finished for my army. So now all I have left to go is a bunch of vehicles and I'll be done.

Here are the two finished squads.

Squad VI tactical

Squad X devastator

So Ive pretty much finished all of my 'mini' marines bar a couple of characters and vehicle crew. Quite sad as I probably wont ever field any in a game so It's going to just be a display only army soon, but I feel the new primaris stuff is just so much better scale wise. Anyway, I'll post some more soon, Ive got 4 landspeeders in the works at the moment so I'll keep you all posted.

Your Fists are executed brilliantly, and use my exact favourite style of basing! Would you mind sharing your recipe for the mustard yellow?

 

It would be great to see a few more ‘head on’ shots to really appropriate the paint job, rather than the more overhead angle, if possible.

Good job on Dorn's sons.

Sorry to hear you'll never field them, but it's nice to see some well painted regular marines.

Just another update to the project. It has been moving at a snails pace but still moving nonetheless. So here's whats been in thje pipeline for quite some time but so glad it's finished now. Completed two Stormtalon Gunships which I think are really great models. Now my airwing of four is complete.

Good job on the gunships. Edited October 25, 2020 by Bjorn Firewalker

The meticilousness of your yellow horde is very inspiring

[Noctus Cornix]

Really lovely highlight work, man. I love the clean, classic aesthetic to every model. 

 

Well done!
