Hey guys,

So I took the plunge into the hobby and subscribed to Warhammer : Conquest ! I’ve got my first couple of magazines and a few head sprues and I’m ready to start my journey. I’ve opted out of painting ultramarines and have decided to paint the marines as imperial fists, much to my own dismay. So here’s my first model painted up, please feel free to give Criticism and thanks for reading !

That looks amazing. And the beard suits him. You've painted before, though, right?

Thanks for the kind words ! I have but not since I was about 13 and that was a long time ago now, but it was never something I did very well, I’ve just spent a whole lot of time watching video tutorials and reading articles and tried to take it slow. I regret the yellow choice slightly haha but I’ll get there in the end.

Very nice work on the yellow and the battle damage, the head really suits the model too.

What's your thinking behind the white shoulder pads?

You painted that yellow right on target. The head swap is also well done. I'd gladly throw dice on a table hosting your Fists.

You might regret the yellow now, but in short order you'll find painting yellow a simple and fulfilling experience rather than a chore. I used to dislike painting white, but after lots of Elves I find it enjoyable and the finished product a source of pride.

Joining the chorus of people celebrating your starting paintwork, [i]especially[/] since its yellow! I'm going to second CaptainWaffle when I say that painting yellow will become a source of pride and you'll be proficient at it (to the admiration of many who don't get to paint it as frequently). I also enjoy painting white when I must for veteran helmets and apothecaries.

May I ask what your formula was that led to such a successful first endeavour into painting your imperial fist? Your work goes to show how handy patience and careful, guided application can really go the distance! I'm subbed and keen for more progress

Hey guys.

I’ll make an effort to reply to all of you individually some time later on, I find it a little awkward using my phone !

Thank you all for the compliments, I really appreciate you guys taking the time to comment. Here’s a little peek at what’s in store for the weekend !

Thanks again !

I'll echo what everyone else has said. Great start on a tricky colour.

The descendants of Dorn seem to be popular among the people collecting Conquest. Just surprised you didn't go Celestial Lions!

A simple headswap does wondrous things for a primaris marine. Nicely done mate.

Thanks man ! It really does make a world of difference, I’m not a massive fan of everyone wearing the same helmet so expect plenty of head swaps as the blog goes on !

Hey everyone !

I’m going to apologise in advance for the picture quality ! It’s something I’m going to look into improving as the blog goes on !

So update time ! I’ve finally got my hands on some decal setting solution so I can put my forge world transfer sheet to good use. I can’t say I’m being lore correct with the markings since they are Horus heresy ones so I’m just picking ones that are aesthetic pleasing to me.

Also kit bashed a lil something with the lieutenant model ! I’ve left the ultramarines sword in place because I don’t have access to a great bits surplus or have the moddeling skills at the minute. If anyone mentions it, I’ll explain it away with a bit of background info, something like it was a gift for actions during the indomitus crusade (I believe that’s the right one)

Anyway thanks for looking !

Hey guys !

Another small update, I managed to get a few of the pox walkers finished ! Need to get bases sorted but I’m really pleased with how they came out, had a lot of fun trying new techniques.

Thanks for looking !

Hey guys !

Finished up the rest of the pox walkers today, Nice to have a finished squad !

Put together the first reiver, I don’t want to use the skull mask heads as I feel like they don’t fit with my idea of how the imperial fists would do battle. I guess I just find them a bit Night Lord’y, so I’ve decided to use the Mk6 head because they are supposed to house a bunch of extra sensors and so on that would aid the reiver in completing his mission, Let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking !
