Cheers guys! yes they are indeed Gorgon termies with warders shields, they'll count as tactical termies with a power fist in games :-) I just liked these more than the standard ones now as I find them a little boring after painting the BA ones which are just sexy!

I've just finished the yellow on one of them now.......

Darn fine looking Bikers you got there. Nice job.

Ork bikers are looking sweet as, bro! I'm still not entirely sold on those Gorgon sculpts personally, but I love the yellow you've used.

Really cool Ork bikers - suitably grimey and dirty. Love the skin tone, it gives them lots of character.

Thinking this head for Lysander maybe? it's the Imperial Fist bare head from the warders kit? just want some opinions? Lysanders Hammer arm will be a more pulled back ready to strike arm not at rest. and while I was mucking around I popped a SoH (I think ) bare head on Kantor, it's not quite right with the mohawk but it's good to get an idea with a different head on there while I wait for the others to get here

Lysander looks good !
Kantor does not !

That head/face for Lysander is awesome. Bloody perfect. Not so sold on the 2nd fella though

Kantor head isn't doing much for me either. Lysander head would look better on either model.

I got to go with the choir on Kantors head, it doesn't really do anything for me. Although with your Damo skills I could see you tattoo a fist on one side of the Mohawk and (forget their home world name) on the other side of it.

Also out of curiosity, The imperial are supposed to be the not Spanish faction right? They talk about torture (pain glove/inquisition torture) and being skilled swordsmen, but the Name of their Homeworld was Inwit, an ice planet, That makes me think of the Inuit (eskimo tribe), who as far as I know are not excellent swordsmen, but who do scrimshaw bones. Any ideas of history that I'm missing.

I'll second the Lysander yes Kantor maybe not comments, the swap on Ly definitely, definitely works but I tnink Kantor needs something with a thicker jaw/larger head generally, something quite chunky and rough-looking.

@Theo: Pretty sure there's elements of both going on. I definitely recall reading about some scrimshawing in the Chapter, but the knight/swordsmen thing is a big part of it as well, which spins off into the Black Templars. And the siege/defensive warfare thing in contrast to the Iron Warriors' siegebreaker/offensive warfare style. Pinning down the IFs as 'historical faction in space' is much more difficult than, say, the WS Mongols or UM Romans or SW Norse ect.

Yeah don't stress guys, Kantor won't be getting that head lol :-) I was just playing around with what I had at hand! I'm pretty sure he'll get Loken's when it arrives, Lysander was a lucky break as that head came with the warders and I hadn't really thought of it until last night! but it works great!

Got nearly all of Kantor's Loken head done, just a few more touch ups and some eye work and he'll be good to glue! still thought i'd show you since I go it and pretty much just started painting it up so do we all still agree this is the correct head for him?





and I also have to show you something very special a new addition to my family! this is my new fuzzy daughter named Daisy-May and she's absolutely amazing! i'm as proud as punch and she fits in perfectly with all of us!

Loving those Imperial Fist Termies! Can't wait to see more of them.

EDC

Paint work amazing as usual even if it is a steroid induced bully boy

Daisy-May looks awesome what a cute looking dog, although I am sure a see a hint of mischief behind those eyes

Nerdfest, the Imperial Fists are looking fantastic. those models are so much more dynamic than the standards. you really do such an amazing job with faces. cant wait till they finished.

and Daisy-may is gorgeous mate. puppies ftw!

Did you paint Kantor's hair white in honor of Daisy-May? He is looking excellent by the way

Aughhhhhhhh New fuzzy kid is so friggin CUTE!!! Beautiful new addition!


(Kantor looks great too, but Daisy-May is just dawwwwwww!)

Poor Oscar, totally outnumbered by fluff. Looks like you missed a big mold line on top of the backpack for Loktor.

Good Lord that head is HUGE. And Daisy-May is adorable!

Gorgeous looking dog there- very white! Does that breed shed much fur then?

How many dogs is that you're up to now then Nerdy?

Kantor is coming along nicely! Love the yellow!

Thanks guys, Kantors pack does indeed have a very shallow line on it that shows up with the wash, hopefully I can remedy that next session and the head indeed does appear to be large but it's the same as a normal head except for the expression and the fact it's sitting in Blu-Tac

bad news, I don't like the Gorgons now so they've been stopped. put in a box. and shipped to someone else.

Good news, I am getting some hammernators to run with Lysander instead so any 3rd party additions to Termie armour you know of tell me!

and really, how could you NOT love Daisy-May? there is indeed mischief there behind the eyes! it's apparently fun to take underwear from the bathroom through the house and out the back door and it's also fun to pull the cord on the N64 controller making the system fall and shut off 1.3 seconds from finishing 1st in Rainbow Road! but I forgave her...... so now I have 4 furry children to keep me busy! 3 Samoyeds and one good dog

I base coated the colours on Kantor this morning so hopefully I should see him done this week along with some basic work on LittleH's band of guys

Daisy-May looks lovely Damo. Welcome to the troublesome world of four dogs, life will never be the same again

Ha I am sure your only using the "I dislike now" as an excuse to create yet another unit

I feel your pain with the N64, we had a flop eared dwarf rabbit ( which in no stretch of the imagination was a dwarf anything ) we used to let happily hop around the room, on one such occasion I was blissfully playing golden eye last level for the seventeenth time with better results when all of a sudden the controller goes unresponsive ?????

At this point Bailey the rabbit goes happily bouncing past, so in sheer desperation I try to figure out what th hell has happened, on closer inspection after checking the controller was connected properly I noticed that there was some damage to the wire, yes the little bugger had decided to have a little chew on the way past ............

The new family member looks super cute! I also love Lysander's new head. Something about Pedro's head doesn't quite work for me, though. It's not the paint - I just can't quite put my finger on it... maybe it looks a bit too big? Or maybe it's the blob of blu-tac causing it to look too big? I'm really not certain...

Cheers Az, I think it's because it's sitting high with the Blu Tac? or maybe the angle makes him look bigger? shouldn't be long until I can fit it in properly once I get some armour finished on him :-) I tried the eyes today and ended up making a smudgy mess which I very nearly cried over! :-(

Kantor is done! finished and looking regal as 'F' love the way the yellow looks with the bare head and the embellishments, I wasn't going to use the banner, but last minute decided t use it as I've not had a character that stands out with one before but I figured the Fists are pretty codex compliant and would have 'Ultramarine' style decoration?

I'll be looking forward to doing Lysander in the same style, it's bold and clean and I like it

here he is then, Kantor the man!

Bad ass man! He's looking mean and awesome in equal measure!

Questions.....

Isnt Pedro Kantor the Chapter Master of the Crimson Fists? Why is he painted yellow? Or am I missing something.

Looks good man! Should be a nice way to open up the lists he makes viable but still keep it yellow.

One would assume this is his long lost brother in the Imperial Fists, Peter Kantor
