Yeah but if you combined me and my brothers forces each and every single army we have of 40k. We would get 20k points. 14k of space marines
Imp fists look great. Weathering works.

My collection for 40k is over 30k maybe more. Lol I'm a dork Thanks for the imp fist comments btw!

I like your pastel appraoch to the yellow armor. Its nice to see the tint changed up from time to time...great work.

Thank you! I just felt that the bright vibrant yellow was too gaudy. Mine is more like slighly brighter than off yellow I think.

Again nice!

Your necrons look cool as flook!

I find my camera phone is actually pretty good, but its 5mp. In the kitchen in the afternoon is the way to go! Go as close as your focus lets you and stablise your hand on something or just with the way you lean on your kitchen surface.

Probably a lot more pro's out there to give you better advice but Ive been getting nice results recently that way. Beam lights are great too.

Great thanks man! I appreciate the comments on the crons. Since there pretty easy to do and I picked a fast scheme to replicate I actually painted all of those necrons within 2 weeks. I have more on my painting desk to do. 5 more destroyers, 3 heavy destroyers, and a tomb spider.

I totally thought I had posted here yesterday? wow, uh, i guess I didn't cause can't see my post!


I wanted to know how you paint your Imperial Fists since I have trouble painting yellow and i really like the way your IF look.

Thanks for the comments.

Yellow:

Based white primer
Base layer iyaden darksun
Heavy wash gryphon sepia
Heavy drybrush golden yellow
Heavy drybrush sunburst yellow
Medium drybrush 50/50 sunburst yellow and white

Red:

Gw red foundation (forget name)
Wash baal red
Hardline highlight blood red

Silver:

Boltgun metal washed black

huh, that's interesting. Where did you get the primer for the starting color. I like that scheme, I may want to try it out! Great work!

Well the primer is made by a company Board to Pieces. I use there white, its half the price of GW's and is just as good IMO. The base yellow (Iyaden Darksun) is made by GW and i apply it with an air brush but you could just back hand if neccesary.

Short update for anyone interested

My land raider is about 50 percent complete know. I will have more info plus pics soon. I am still finishing that darned plague furnace for someone so the fists are only a couple day hold. More later Thanks!

Hopefully tomorrow raider pics for anyone that has been watching thanks!

awesome!

Hah thanks. In a last minute change I am adding some
More detail so the raider hopefully will be tomorrow afternoon posted.

Ok way over due pics as usual. I actually did a few other small projects before i finished this so thats why i havent posted for a while. I have picked up some more models for the force though. I have a second tact squad to paint, 10 sternguard, a lysander (a must for any real fist army), 2 Rhinos (or could be razorbacks) and a drop pod. Oh and 5 cc terminators. SO i have alot left. But complete is a commander, a tact squad, 5 shooty terminators, and a godhammer pattern raider!! Yay! Incase you were wondering my side project i mentioned were 10 chaos marines (slaaneh) 10 khorne bezerkers and 2 chaos rhinos, but now the fist are back! lol

So what do you think? Q and C welcome. Sorry again for the pic quality, makes the yellow not seem as bright as it really is.

In this instance rotate is your friend

After straightening my neck again, the LR looks good. One small point I would make is the top could do with some more datails picking out just to break up the yellow a bit more. Even painting the grills by the exhausts might do it. Otherwise, very nice.

i'm watching, and I'm enjoying. keep up the good work mens

Thanks! I can't decide what to paint next for the force. What do you guys think? Sternguard? Lysander?

nice landraider!

I would like to see some ornate veterans, maybe some vanguard?

Well since your the only person to say anything at all I am going to go sternguard as I already have the models.

LAND RAIDER!!!

Lookin good. Must get round to finishing my Crimson Fist one.

One thing you really need to do is show what chapter they are. Currently they are yellow marines, I don't see a single IF marking. Rather than repaint the captain's cloak, a stripe around the edge would give it some more life; he's the captain afterall.

Like a red tip on the clock? That's a good idea! I am going to do some water transfers for the force btw to signify fists. Thanks!

Ok so i have cleaned and assembled 10 sternguard, pedro cantor, and lysander (I am painting them all at the same time.) They are based white and now the first yellow layer is on, hopefully pics soon and a better update!!

Sweet army but not a fan of the yellow, maybe try a new stage-by-stage

Looking forward to seeing the Sternguard.

Icelord great job on your marines!!! Can't wait to see more!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. They are still coming along as I have said due to my random projects I am just finishing 3 jacks and a warcaster for my menoth force but don't fret the imp fists are still in the works!

Well after a month of no updates I am back. In stead of painting models for my imperial fists (as i probably should) I have instead been working on some other projects. 1 was finishing my raven wing contingent for my DA, and 2 I built a new table! Its 2 4x4 sections so i can play any combo of GW game sizes and i can play warmachine. What do you guys think? Sorry this pics are semi dark. I can take more if people want me too, also i corrected the land raider pics so there facing the right direction ont sideways!

You will see some unfinished terrain in the back groud. We just finished a battle prior to these pics. Some of the building are 40k terrain and some are from my last Mordheim campaign i was in!

Also i included a far shot of my necrons (just like on the table) from my shelf. I am in a tournament on the 5th next month and have 7 destroyers on my painting table currently being finished for the event. But thats what I have done now. Though i would include it for fun!

But you have.. then you added.. with all the paintings.. and .. more.. with the adding and the painting so quick..

Holy crap man. You either won the lottery when you were 12 and have nothing but free time or are rediculously dedicated to this hobby! AND you play warmachine, mordheim etc.. good god! What the hell?!

I sir, salute you as supreme geek and bow before your sheer awesomeness! Well done bud.. you're really living the dream!
