Ok, so I've been collecting Imperial fists for a while now so I thought it was about time I showed it all. So, here you go, however, I should also mention that I am still to assemble another vindicator, 3 more captains and 9 rhinos and I am working on a custom converted 10-man honour guard squad and need to get Marneusand paint him as an imperial fist. However, further assembly has been put on hold as I ready up for a 'tourney and I decided I've already got enough Imperial Fists for now. However, the long term goal is to have a complete terminator 1st company, I already have the whole 2nd company and part of 6th and 7th.

I'm sorry about the picture quality but it wasn't easy taking these pics with so many and them being on the floor. Also, I'm sorry about the different standards and rate of painting, some are done, some are primed, some are nothing and some are in a friend's swamp colour scheme (he stopped playing space amrines so I bought them).


So, here's the army as a whole, in total it's 8720 points (yes, I spent 3 hours setting it out and then working it all out). As for stratagems it already has:

Hold at all costs
Careful Planning
Ambush
Precision Strike
Surgical raids
2 x Orbital Bombardment
As well as the one's I choose during deployment.










This is captain of the 6th company, which is where the drop pod tactical squad have came from.


Captain Lysander


captain of the 7th company (the completely bike company)


Lonely dreadnought


Chaplain who travels round with Chapter masters.


The bikers of 7th company


yes, I know one terminator is missing, he's being converted into an objective.


2nd company command squad, ignore the banner, it's from my mates swamp marines, can't remember what it means.


Drop pod of 6th company.

So, what do you think?

Good work, impressive army overall.
Is yellow as bad to paint as they say?

It'll will lok much more impressive when the whole lot is painted. You're off to a great start.

Thanks for replies.

Yeah getting all of it painted is going to be absolute hell.

Also, yellow is hard to paint when you're starting and I found that tutorials on the internet and stuff don't really help me but one of the employees at my FLGS showed me how he painted yellow quite effectively and that helped a lot. Now, I find it easy as I know what I'm doing and have done it before.

Oh this looks good, but it will look epic when its all painted, keep up the good work sir

Uploaded the rest of the pics.

those look very good bro
