 So hi all, iv been looking for a good Forum for a while and the users here seem really helpful and not all D** ks when it comes to some newbie questions 
Im an imperial fists player to the end but i carnt help but feel like i bet on the wrong horse (hint for reasurance), GW seem to have no love for this chapter just its succesor chapters crimson and templars whitch dosnt help me either. Box sets for everyone except imperial fists 
I havnt got round to actually playing a game yet :( as im still in the painting proces and looking around everyone talks about table-top quality and somthing eles how good to minis have to be for a game with someone ima put some pics of the 2 squads iv done if you can give me some feedback, Are they good for table top cause iv seen some really awesome minis,
Assult squad, i think its illegal? power wepons and stuff?
not finished all of this squad
Chaplain 
i dont know if im allowed to post images here but newbie gets away with everything 
So i hope you kinda like my stuff and i think ima post some of my green stuff work for some help but you guys get a preview
iv stayed true to the fluf, IF are master sigers and win at urban warfare so i gave them all bases witch resemble a broken run down street with some ork heads hope you all like
he gonna be an objective marker, the lighter stuff is miliput the green is green stuff

Looks nice! I like the "dirty" yellow of the termies contrasted with the deeper red accents and the white helmets. The chaplain is well painted - especially the OSL, which I haven't managed to get right.
One bit of advice: the cape on the model that has the back banner looks limp and needs some support. Using greenstuff by itself has this problem. Since you've got the milliput, use it to make a 'skeleton' in the basic shape and waviness you want the cape to be, then after it's completely cured put a layer of GS over it, building it up little by little until it's the shape and size you want it to be.
Whatwhat has an amazing tutorial in the P&M tutes regarding simple and effective GS techniques. The cape/cloak technique I described above is taken directly from it and is treated in greater detail there. Try making chain using his technique and use it to border termie pauldrons - an awesome and simple technique with great results.

OSL is object source light, its usually painting glows from light, here its the glowing effect the chaplins eyes have on the helmet.

Welcome to DakkaDakka!
EDIT:^ Beat me to it. OSL means object source lighting. Painting light or glowing effects comming from an object. eg. Your chaplain's eyes.
Nice job on the Fists by the way.
