No interest?

I've been following this thread for a while and am surprised at the shear determination you have shown so far. Your army looks great and very well done

Brilliant work keep it up bro

All the pre-heresy stuff FW keeps releasing has me excited. I love how you use the red and grey to break up all that yellow on the termies. Imperial Fists were always my least favourite 1st founding colour scheme because of all that yellow and those guys there can show how the yellow can be toned down for a nicer, more even scheme. And you've got some nice skill in painting too. Too bad there not all pre-heresy, but eh, whatever.

Haha! I know the feeling the forge world stuff has really god me excited. Also dont you worry i will have plenty of forge world models currently i have 40 cataphractii and 10 tactical but those are a surprise LOL
Thanks, im really glad you like my style of painting. Hope you liked the weathered versions more

Update!

Love the look of these guys so far. The terminator with the (i'm guessing) heavy bolter is slightly brighter then the others. I'm personally more fond of his colouring then the slightly oranger ones the other terminators have, though both look good.

I do have to echo an earlier response in that the green seems a little off for yellow armour. It's good, but i feel like a different colour like a purple or even a blue might look a bit nicer.

Overall, great work and i'm looking forward to more.

Thanks! im glad you like them. Also the lighter one will be the color scheme i had purchased the wrong wash which was used on both the Sergent and heavy flamer. I will be trying another idea but it will be yellow not orange like the others. As for the Plasma Blaster i do agree another color would have been better but in my defense i only had a few colors to choose from and since lascannons are blue i went with green but certainly likely to change when and if i get a hold of some other color. Thanks so much, the criticism really helps so much!

Loving the pre hersey termies

What exactly are you looking for? For over all darkness, I use Burnt Umber Vallejo Pigment. But in the lighter yellow models i used Casandora Yellow wash over Golden Yellow and brought out the yellow back on the surface leaving the crevasses with the wash. Any other questions feel free to ask.

Ahh sweet that is similar to how i paint mine. a step by step tut from start too finish would be cool though

HAHA! absolutely, well how should i start...lol ok...
For the yellow you will need;
1:White Primer
2:Yriel Yellow
3:Casandora Yellow Wash
4:Lamenters Yellow Glaze




OPTION 1:
Step 1: Prime the model white, i use Krylon flat primer.
step 2: Base coat the entire model Yriel Yellow.
Step 3: Add a layer of Casandora Yellow wash. Now you could leave it at this step, if you chose to remember light the coat the lighter the yellow the more wash you add the more of and orangy yellow you will get.
Step 4: i go back on all surface areas with Yriel Yellow.
step 5: coat all of the yellow(crevasses and all) with a good layer of Lamenters Yellow.

OPTION 2
Step 1: Prime the model white.
Step 2: completely cover the model with Casandora Yellow.
Step 3: Once layer has dried, add another layer of Casandora Yellow.
Step 4: Add Yriel Yellow surface area of the armor.
Step 5: Add a layer of Lamenters Yellow Glaze.

hope you find a use for this my friend

Neet that helps out alot. its very close to what im doing but im slowly getting through step 3 hopefully will finish my first batch of terms by this weekend

Gearhart,

I love your cataphracts. Seriously beautiful models. The one with the power fist set to punch looks like he's about to mash someone's head in. Great job.

Stunning. Massive kick in the a$$ for me to get my blood angels done!
