whoa! I like 'em! I love the librarian, I dont recognize the model, who is it? or is it a conversion?

Crimson Fists I think are my favorite chapter

**Ultra mortalitas**

I think the librarian is from space hulk.

AntZ1988: I think you might want to rename your chappy, so people dont get it confused with the ultramarine chaplain.

Nice work by the way.

**AntZ1988**

the librarian is the standard gw terminator librarian i just repositioned his arm and perched him on a peice of slate to give the impression that he is exersizeing some sort of evil doer

**Ultra mortalitas**

i stand corrected. My memory is terrible. :(

**Praxiss**

Very nice. You've done them a lot light than my CFs (i liked the idea fo a dark, brooding paint sheme). What paints did you use?

**Death Gear**

Looks great

I love the highlighting on them

I feel the basecoat looks a little bright for crimson fists but I think its cause of the light in the pictures.

**AntZ1988**

the basecoat is regal blue washed with black drawing ink then highlighted with ultramarine blue..... i like to put my own touch on armys so i can distiggwish mine from other players and it gives them a unique feel i think

**oadie**

Any chance of a group shot (a few different models, at least) from farther away? I don't want to say "TRON" until I know what the extreme highlights look like on the table. I agree they look a bit bright for CFs (I recall an UM army with the blue painted up almost identically), but if that's what you were going for, then ignore my commentary. Also, a some of the highlights look a bit uneven. You might want to consider going back and straightening up the edges with your base color.

Criticism aside, while not exactly my cup of tea, the paintjob is certainly striking. I also love the base work. Enough to give them the extra pop that drybrushed sand lacks without being overly elaborate. Kudos.

**AntZ1988**

the highlighs are a bit scruffy i admit but it was purly because i had to get them all done for a doubles toriment

the colors i used on these i was shown by a worker of GW norwich because he used these colors on his models just the other way around and his were very blue lol.... the highlights look completely different on the table in natural light i will take a group shot for you of thewhole army......i never use sand on my bases i use model railway flock a different one for each force on these i used one called dark tarmac with static grass and flock .

**Behind th Mask**

I think they look good man. I have always been a fan of the Crimson Fists color scheme, GOOOOOOO PEDRO!!!
