Here they are, enjoy the pics, and thanks for looking!

Lovely Yellow!, How did you get it so crisp?

And where did you get that strange looking melta-gun from?

Very nice!

Heresy-era meltagun.

And damn! Way to mix up the eras with the armor!

Those look fantastic! I love the turquoise eyes, it gives them a very unique look.

The bases look fantastic. Nice paint work!

If you look in the SM Codex, and you take a close look at the Ultramarine 2nd Company, no two suits are the same, they are all different, all from different era's and unique in some why. I am trying to achieve the same effect with my build. I am hoping by the time I am done with the entire 5th company it will have a unique look to it.

The yellow was achieved with oil paint, Windsor and Newton Cadmium Yellow.

Very nice, very nice! Did you do the conversion on the combi-melta yourself? I'm really liking the veteran's helmet colors on the Mk3, too.

Beautiful

I love the way you've mixed the armour variants within the squad, if I had the money I would love to do this.

Great paint job too, son!

The bases were painted black, dry-brushed chainmail, washed Badab Black, then I used weathering powders for the rust effect. The combi-melta is actually out of the commander box set, though I have had to scratch build a few for this army for the other sgt's

That is some crisp yellow!

Great looking force Red. Very clean lines, and great looking rust on the bases.

I am glad you noticed them....as am far more experienced painter taought me years ago, never "underestimate the presentation of a clean paint job."

Thanks,

Ashton

Very nice job. Love the bases.

That's a very impressive paintjob

Hmm those Mark V Helms look kind of nice, they're from forgeworld aren't they?

There are so many things I love about this squad. Making them all unique gives the squad character, I think. I tried to have the same thing for my squad but I don't have as many kits, haha.

Dude you have nailed the yellow and with the mix and match of different mk power armour you have an original looking force going on.Great wok there mate.

Exceptional work, love the paint job and mixture of different armor!

Nice work, i am a big fan of yellow and you did it very well.

Man Im a huge fan of yellow paintjobs and the Imperial Fists, and Ive got to say you did both with great work!

Keep it up, would love to see a full company painted like this

Love it..

Really fine looking. Like it a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Very Nice.

Very nice. I know yellow is a huge pain to paint.

Awesome. Always good to see more Imperial Fists out there, much better painted than mine.

Awesome colour! Yellow is horrible to work with, and it's nice to see someone patient and skilful enough to craft Imperial Fists
I like it and I envy the patience you must have

Incredible I really appreciate the colors and all the effort that went into assembling all the different armors!

Thanks for all the positive feed back guys.

Many of you have mentioned how long it must have taken, well this is the advantage of Oil paint, the coverage is great on them and the painting process is actually quite fast.

Ashton

They look awesome, would love to see a blog or army prof if you're collecting a full force!
