You know, your captain with the TH/SS looks like he laid eyes on something terrible.

Nice work

Love the libby, dreadnaught could use something to spruce up its multi-melta, but overall they're pretty good

haha that is a nice touch, although i had not noticed xD BUT IM GLAD YOU LIKE IT!

THANKS! and ill get that multi melta, and how would i make them look better over all? any ideas? cheers!

Is it in a shower?

I think they look great, a couple of the bases are a little large for my taste but that’s me. I agree about the captain, the facial expression is spot on…. Keep up the good work.

Maybe you could paint the barrels black or drill them if you had the time. The DMM looks kinda weird without it IMO. Still a great army though

haha thanks mate!

I declare this: awesome.

very nice. I like the use of those grey knights (I think) termie heads. Nice work on the chaplains too.

I really like the land raider.

I'm also a fan of your basing scheme, I do think you should re-edge them in black or brown, will really clean up the look.


Great work.

thank you!!! also i am working on the landraider again i hope like it when im done and yes you are correct the bases do lack, ill give it a try cheers!

I love what you do with your weathering, I also love your colour scheme, the Templar Stormshield are a nice Nod to the progeny of the Imperial Fists.

Now, for a little criticism (please don't get upset) i love you paint scheme, but I can often see mould lines. Which is disappointing because you are a good painter, but the lines just seem to pop, especially on certain models or flat armour surfaces also drilling out the bolter barrels and weapons . Please don't be upset, I mean this as positive criticism, because if you got these nailed it would be A+ not A- in my eyes.

Ending on a positive note, nice to see that you are a Salavager like me, buying old or badly done miniatures and resurrecting them.

HAHA! cheers mate and no worries i love criticism! so please dont be afriad to tell me anything, i a new painter so i know i have lot to learn. One step i do always forget is those damn mold lines xD BUT as for the barrels i just got my drill and have slowly started drilling them haha the chaplain has them drilled out

An A-!!!!! REALLY? DO YOU REALLY LIKE THEM THAT MUCH?! thank you very much!!!!! and ill work on making the mold lines disappear, and any more things you can think of please tell me i only started around september! so i still have tons to learn! cheers!!

Wow, your painting skills are lengendary!

Gearhart wrote: An A-!!!!! REALLY? DO YOU REALLY LIKE THEM THAT MUCH?! thank you very much!!!!! and ill work on making the mold lines disappear, and any more things you can think of please tell me i only started around september! so i still have tons to learn! cheers!!

Yup, its the way you paint is quite interesting. It's like impressionism, you get a really good effect without painting every detail in. I also love the weathering, I like my Marines to look like they've been earning their kills, with heavily pock marked, dented and dirty armour. Parade Ground Troops look smart, Infantry on the field will be dirty or else they aren't fighting hard enough.

Yes I really like your painting, the airbrushing of the base colour over the White primer gives a really nice look to the whole force.

I love the weathering on the vehicles, but you need to do the same on the foot-troops in order to tie them together, not a lot but enough that it adds depth and ties them alll together.

a warm feeling in my pants..and its not shepperds pie......

I just realized that the TH have some BT icons on them, was that on purpose or not?

Nice work.

But why Templar SS?

Very very nice looking army...wish I painted to this standard

Just a warning before any mods chime in, but WIP shots do not go in the Painting & Modelling Showcase forum.

Great work either way.

So... Much... Yellow...

Looks really nice, especialy the TH/SS guy.

looking great!!!!!!

motivates me to finish my vehicles, here are my troops;

i also have plenty of imperial fists icons as well...cheers!

mostly bc they just look amazing but i also wanted to add uniqueness to each model, but i also have so fist shields ive been working on

Hey. All look great. Really impresssed with your style and overall look. Any chance of a quick explaination of how you achieve the dust effects, particularly round the feet of your terminators and chaplains? It's something I'd like to try on my next project.

Many thanks

Excellent.

absolutely!!!! thanks for aking and im glad you like them. Well the process is really quick and easy! i use weathering powder from vallejo, burnt umber is the one i use. if you want to put it on thick its best to dip the brush in the pigment then dip it in rubbing alcohol. but for a thin layer i just brush dry pigment on. then i use a q-tip and dip it in rubbing alcohol to clean off areas where the yellow should show i hope this helps!

Really nice models, the weathering gives them a good feel. I've been seeing alot of Imperial Fists lately...

Thank goodness GW finally has a yellow worth using.

Great work so far. How long has it taken you to get to this point? I'm working on the third Company and have been for about ten months longer than I've been on Dakka here and I'm still not finished. I have 3 bikes to finish, two tac squads a dev. squad and 4 Rhino's.

I must admit I did stop for 8 months and build a 2500pt 'Nid army, with enough models to get it up over 3000 still unfinished.

I must say I like that you have the Templar shields, it adds some flavor to the unit but it shows honor to the successor chapter, perhaps if those marines had been in the legion at the second founding they would have gone off into that grand army of Dorn's children so righteous is their fury toward the Xeno's, the mutant and above all the Heretic. ANd like everyone else has mentioned great photowork and skill with that pic of Lysander, the facial work you did on him is superb.

Im sooooo sorry for the late replies .....but will start up this log shortly as time progresses and will keep and extra eye open since i never get the notifications!

YES thank the emperor! lol although i cant say im a huge fan of citadel in general cheap paints at too high the cost.....and as for modeling? i started in 9th grade so wasnt big in painting but that was 5 years ago...but if you mean sitting down and painting i started almost a year ago....i would do test models here and there but nothing excessive and most of those models have been stripped lmao and ive also notice people like my photos a lot but i never realized they looked so much better haha and cheers i was really proud of lysander hopefully when its time to paint the finecast model i will do it justice as well haha

Looking good, looking good

Always had a soft spot for imperial fists (god damn it games workshop brainwashing making 13 year old me start ultra smurfs). I love the weathered and rugged look. Makes them look like they have actually left there star system (which cant firmly be said for there blue brothers).

These models are awesome looks like they have been to hell and back.

BETTER PICTURES....

Its good to see battle damage on your troops and vehicles, nothing worse than when tanks and armour look like they have never been used.
Currently doing a diorama between Khorne Bezerkers and Space Wolves with 15 models in total, and would like to add battle damage to them, any simple but effective pointers?

The method i use is to take a sponge and cut off a small bit off. I then dip this in runefang steel...i then make sure to have only a little bit, i use a napkin to remove excess......Then dab it on, most the time it is trial and error. If you like i can post a picture of the sponge i use, its the sponge usually used for heavy grime, really hope this helps! cheers!

If its not too much trouble then that would be really appreciated thanks!

These are legitimately beautiful

Wow those terrmies are awesome. I wish i had the Concentration and skill to sit down and create something like that.

That is a beautiful army and you should be very proud of it. Amazing work!

Even if it hurts to say that as a long time Iron Warriors player!

They look like they're probably no strangers to the imperial fists' old standby, the pain glove

These models are superb. Your painting style is simple and effective and your models will look great on the battlefield.

As a first time painter, this is probably one of the harder color schemes and you are nailing it! Well done.

Lysander and Imperial Fists have always been some of my favorite models/chapters. You are doing them justice for sure!

Forge world cataphractii pattern terminators

The shade of grey on those Cataphractii is just beautiful! How did you get that fresh from the forge effect?


I kid, but still, I'm impressed every time I see this thread, great work as always

AHAHA! if only they came yellow! and im glad i can impress you with each update! but wait till you see how many cataphractii i have ;D

I love the Cataphractii Terminators. They have a lot more character than normal terminators.

If you do happen to get more forgeworld models, like different marks of space marines, you may want to spread them around. It would add more visual niceness, and be to the fluff, as different marks were spread around.

I love the dirty, dusty, weathered look on the vehicles, and on the legs of the units - that 1st photo in your 2nd post is a cracker, not just in showing off the units but overall composition as well!!!

haha yeah i was really pleased with how much detail was in the cataphractii and no worries i will be adding another company of all forge world so 100 troops but im not going to purchase them until the imperial fist legion is officially released cheers

thanks im glad you like them! and even when i took that photo my mouth dropped but ill have to take an updated image as ive collected a few more models since then.....

Nothing? please i really need help if im going to continue

I like the plasmagun. Are you getting a dorn model when its released?

The olive leaves green really pops nicely on the yellow, great job

I like the models overall. I think the yellow needs something more - either wash or highlighting to bring it more...
The only other thing I think your base needs more too it.... Maybe some dead static grass or rocks of a lighter color, I would like a little color in there. Just my opinion. Looks very good over all.. Cheers man

TheAngrySquig wrote:I like the plasmagun. Are you getting a dorn model when its released?

Thank you sir, and certainly if any of them Dorn will be the first! Although ill probably work on him for a week until i feel he looks ok xD

Thanks im glad you like them and yeah i actually just finished him, atleast i think so. (pictures below) let me know what you think with the new pictures! thanks!

IMO the green plasma coil doesn't really fit in the yellow scheme. Maybe you could try a purple/pink alternative.
Overall very nice cataphractii. Well done!

Love the partly bionic noggin on the one guy!

Your weathering and subtle battle damage just keeps getting better and better. Really inspiring.

I like him. The terminator helmet adds a lot of character to it.

If you're going for a wasteland sort of look, maybe you should make the base just a bit darker, so it looks blasted and burnt.

Hello everyone, i wanted to ask how clearly you can all see the paint chipping as i think i may have not captured it properly....

Well, I just noticed, as I wasn't studying it too hard - dang, that is some beautiful wear and tear. It looks battered, yet good for ceremonial occasions. Barely.

I think you can see the paint chipping just fine. Particularly in the photo taken from the rear where there's less other details to take your eye. I wouldn't try to make it much more pronounced, I'd imagine it would be pretty easy to over do it. The way you have it now is, I would say, just about perfect. You still just doing it with the sponge and that one tone of silver?

Great, I'm glad it is visible and yes it is easy to over due but i feel i might try bringing the silver out a bit more. Also i still do it the same way but for this model i actually used Iron Breaker instead of Runefang Steel...
Im thinking adding a bit of Runefang Steel, what do you think?

Badass! I commend you. Yellow is so hard to work with.

Well i would like to apologize for my long absence, the holidays proved to be draining and once the holidays were over i had a leak in my 125 gallon aquarium. Well i repaired my aquarium and spend some ttime getting it back to its former glory. But now i have free time to spend on painting every now and again. Cheers, hope to be back with a great update soon. Until then my friends....

Thank you brother as said ive had to repair my large aquarium which ended up costing a lot more then i intended. So my re-supply of forge world will be down the road but i will certainly work on what i have in front of me for the time being cheers!

Thank you sir, i greatly appreciate the encouragement hope to impress you with my next update.

No interest?

I've been following this thread for a while and am surprised at the shear determination you have shown so far. Your army looks great and very well done

Brilliant work keep it up bro

Course not *cuddles*

All the pre-heresy stuff FW keeps releasing has me excited. I love how you use the red and grey to break up all that yellow on the termies. Imperial Fists were always my least favourite 1st founding colour scheme because of all that yellow and those guys there can show how the yellow can be toned down for a nicer, more even scheme. And you've got some nice skill in painting too. Too bad there not all pre-heresy, but eh, whatever.

Thank you so much, the encouragement certainly helps my determination But unfortunately my addition to buying models is far greater to my addiction to paint

Haha! I know the feeling the forge world stuff has really god me excited. Also dont you worry i will have plenty of forge world models currently i have 40 cataphractii and 10 tactical but those are a surprise LOL
Thanks, im really glad you like my style of painting. Hope you liked the weathered versions more

Update!

Love the look of these guys so far. The terminator with the (i'm guessing) heavy bolter is slightly brighter then the others. I'm personally more fond of his colouring then the slightly oranger ones the other terminators have, though both look good.

I do have to echo an earlier response in that the green seems a little off for yellow armour. It's good, but i feel like a different colour like a purple or even a blue might look a bit nicer.

Overall, great work and i'm looking forward to more.

Thanks! im glad you like them. Also the lighter one will be the color scheme i had purchased the wrong wash which was used on both the Sergent and heavy flamer. I will be trying another idea but it will be yellow not orange like the others. As for the Plasma Blaster i do agree another color would have been better but in my defense i only had a few colors to choose from and since lascannons are blue i went with green but certainly likely to change when and if i get a hold of some other color. Thanks so much, the criticism really helps so much!

Loving the pre hersey termies

What exactly are you looking for? For over all darkness, I use Burnt Umber Vallejo Pigment. But in the lighter yellow models i used Casandora Yellow wash over Golden Yellow and brought out the yellow back on the surface leaving the crevasses with the wash. Any other questions feel free to ask.

Ahh sweet that is similar to how i paint mine. a step by step tut from start too finish would be cool though

HAHA! absolutely, well how should i start...lol ok...
For the yellow you will need;
1:White Primer
2:Yriel Yellow
3:Casandora Yellow Wash
4:Lamenters Yellow Glaze




OPTION 1:
Step 1: Prime the model white, i use Krylon flat primer.
step 2: Base coat the entire model Yriel Yellow.
Step 3: Add a layer of Casandora Yellow wash. Now you could leave it at this step, if you chose to remember light the coat the lighter the yellow the more wash you add the more of and orangy yellow you will get.
Step 4: i go back on all surface areas with Yriel Yellow.
step 5: coat all of the yellow(crevasses and all) with a good layer of Lamenters Yellow.

OPTION 2
Step 1: Prime the model white.
Step 2: completely cover the model with Casandora Yellow.
Step 3: Once layer has dried, add another layer of Casandora Yellow.
Step 4: Add Yriel Yellow surface area of the armor.
Step 5: Add a layer of Lamenters Yellow Glaze.

hope you find a use for this my friend

Neet that helps out alot. its very close to what im doing but im slowly getting through step 3 hopefully will finish my first batch of terms by this weekend

Gearhart,

I love your cataphracts. Seriously beautiful models. The one with the power fist set to punch looks like he's about to mash someone's head in. Great job.

Stunning. Massive kick in the a$$ for me to get my blood angels done!

Lovely stuff! Been looking for inspiration for my Cataphractii.
