Hey up guys been wanting to do a new space marine army for a while and finally decided i wanted to do a Imperial Fist one and have now nearly finshed the first 5 marines and would like some feedback of what you all think to them

Wow! the weathering on the yellow is really well made. The shading is awesome too!

Yes great weathering. Looks like something from the 70's lol. Or a junkyard. Great models 9.5/10

Interesting technique, well done look like the fist should.

They're almost too dirty for my liking, but they look awesome. However, you've got to paint their eyes!

Those are some excellently painted Imperial Fists you got there. Yellow looks good (a mandatory requirement for painting good Imp. Fists).

My only issue is with the weathering. It's been done well in practice, but the placing of them is a bit random. Might be an issue of less-is-more, but I think what irks me about them is they dont appear to be placed in areas that would suffer the most amount of weathering. Places like the edges of armour plates, as opposed to a random bit of weathering in the middle of the plate. But that's just my opinion. Otherwise, as I said, a good job.

I have to agree, most people jab around the edges of plates with a tin bitz then some sort of silver.

Short of that, it looks very solid.

To much battledamage for my taste, but fine skill.

Nice!

Those miniatures are amazing. The yellow is great (very few people can paint yellow well) and the weathering is perfect! Keep up the good work.

Nice yellow, good weathering, great blacklining!
I love them.

Looks really battle worn. Nice models!

thanks for all the comments guys really liking the feedback off everyone and dunno if anyone else sees it but i think they look like there in a cartoon with how their painted if that makes sence

This. Looking great with the technique, but you could improve on the placement and size of the paint chips...they're too uniform.

Very nice. I like the mid campaign dirtiness of the armor.

Very nice indeed, only advice i got is to brighted up that red details so they are as bright as the shoulderpad rims, becuase i think they are being swallowed up by the bright yellow.

loving the positive comments thanks guys and cheers for the tips so i chose the right chapter to do

Any more pics? We want MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!

Not at the moment dude got the next 5 in the early WIP stage but hav got 10 sternguard, Pedro Kantor and Lysander sparyed ready to be painted

I'm a fan of these. Its a great mix of bold coloration and weathering. This will be a very dynamic looking army.
