These were given to me assembled and unpainted. First time working with a color scheme other than silver metallics (my armies are Necrons and Grey Knights). Went with the Crimson Fists, although I have no plans to start a CF army. Anyway, here they are!



Edit: Someone pointed out that they should probably have Crimson Fist decals, something I'd totally forgotten about, but they are now 100% as complete as they're going to get.

Those are really nice dude, the hard edge highlights look fantastic! And the THs, choice! Did you follow Cattafish's tut?

Superb lightening effect!

I'd also be very interested.in how you did it!

Well done!

Yep I based the thunder hammers on Cat's tutorial =o) I do it a little different, but the end result seems to be roughly on par.

Anyone interested in how to do it should follow the following link:

Added some stuff, I guess I wasn't as done with them as I thought lol

The decals still look a bit wrinkly because this was about 1 minute after I had applied Microsol to them.




I didn't gloss coat the shoulders before applying the decals which I think was a mistake... Oh well, there's always next time.

These were before I applied the decals, but they show some of the writing on the heraldry and purity seals:


















These are up for (passive) sale, right here on Dakka. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/391552.page

what size paintbrush do you use for the lightning? I have tried to replicate but even with my smallest brush, the paint either dries before i can get it on the model, or goes on in thick lines.

10/0 is the brush size I use for the lightning, but you have to use a really light touch.

Ok now they're finally done for sure, I'm not adding anything else no matter how badly I'd like to LOL. Here's a shot with decent lighting.



There's a bit of glossiness from the decals, but I think a coat of dull coat will take care of that.
