I've had the Masters of the Chapter set since Apocalypse came out, but I've only painted two of the guys. I also had an Emperor's Champion lying around for whatever reason. So I put together and primed a small Honor Guard unit for Pedro:

I'll also try and paint a razorback for them to tool around in!

So I've been been painting a lot in the past few days! I finished up the honor guard:


Chapter champion with relic blade:






This dude's my favorite:








And this guy's pretty cool too:

Looking good. I like the gold bionics.

Thanks I'm very proud of my gold technique.

I've been really, really, insanely busy for the past month and a half, with real life, commissions, and the holidays all going on. In this time I managed to paint one chaplain for my Crimson Fists! Here's Chaplain Ortiz:






Next up are some assault Terminators:

So January allows one list change, and here I go, changes in yellow:

Pedro Kantor: 175 COMPLETE
Master of the Forge with Conversion Beamer: 120
Assault Terminator x9: 360
Sternguard x10, combi melta x2, power fist: 285 COMPLETE
Rhino: 35 COMPLETE
Tactical squad x10, melta, multimelta, power fist: 200 COMPLETE
Rhino: 35 COMPLETE

I'm painting up the Terminators now and they're looking awesome; expect pictures by the end of the month

ok, I'll expect pics

also, are you going to get the 40k 25th anniversary model? It's a crimson fist waving an ork head.
And it comes with a cool banner

You bet your ass I am! I love that mini, and I adore RT in general.

I'm advance ordering mine

EDIT: Just did, and now I'm definately starting a Crimson Fist army, my 2nd Favourite Chapter!

I LOVE this army. So well painted. My favorites are the Sternguard. I'll probably get the 25th anniversary model too. Cheers from a fellow CF player,

Thanks! Always happy to hear praise from a fellow Son of Dorn I've got a big army outside of this project, and I'll post some whole army shots once I'm done!

Also, expect an update on the Terminators tonight or the next night! Regardless, expect 9 assault Terminators to pop up here before the month's out

YW. Sounds really cool. I can't wait to see the termi's.

P.S Is the Tac squad guy from the death world supposed to be a house orlock member from Necromunda? If so I'm just going to have to steal that idea...

Nah, there was a theme in a painting competition to have a Catachan influence somewhere in that month's paintjob, and having an awful lot of Catachan bits around it was pretty obvious what to do!

Anyway, INBOUND TERMINATORS!

Dayum that's some nice stuff you got there! Proceed with the excellent work

Really awesome. I'll take the House Orlock idea anyway (so I guess I just inspired myself)...

Don't worry, I've got House Orlock and Goliath gangs ready to paint whenever I decide to get into Necromunda

Love this army!

Thanks
So, for February, I'm gonna paint up my Master of the Forge with Conversion Beamer and a squad of assault Marines!


I'm super stoked to paint the thunder hammer sergeant!

Is he double-handing the hammer? did you use death company bits for that or something else?

old school rapier model.... classic!

Yeah, I bits ordered the Death Company thunder hammer and shaved off the blood blood bits. I've been hanging onto that rapier forever, decided to finally put it to use!

Awesome stuff! Crimsons fists are one of my favs and this thread is definitely doing them justice! Kudos to you! and Exalted because of that awesome land speeder down thing you got going there!

Glad you like em! Irony is that I actually don't own any intact land speeders so that wrecked one's the only one I've got!

loving the MotF!

I used him in his first game on Thursday - he fired 6 times and missed every single shot! He then got eaten by a daemon prince. The extra dreadnoughts were great fun in a Sternguard list though!

I was going to go prime these guys the day after I posted them, but I was all out of primer, and my backup can wouldn't spray! I got some today, primed em up and started painting though!

Looking good SRM
I like the SW bolt pistol on the honor guard

This reminds me, I need to update my own Fists soon, finished a few squads but havent inked yet...

The SW bolt pistol on the honor guard was equal parts me wanting to use an ornate bit, and me not having any stock bolt pistols left! I've been using the bits from one Space Wolf box for three years now!

Great stuff! Keep it up!

Ive been using and trading bits from my SW sprues for about two years or so

And theyve lasted multiple army 'choices' and are present in my fists as well

Looking nice!

So I just wrapped up my assault Marines! I'm not happy with the chest eagles, and the highlights could be better, but I love the sergeant (Vasquez) and I'm that much closer to both finishing my hobby progress challenge and a Space Marine battle company!
