Hi All,


These are the first completed Fists from my new army most of which are Dark Vengeance Converions (its fuin to scratch DA Icons away )


My Lib is done in a more Crimson Fists Blue seeing as they are successors of the Fists, i think it came out great but iam a tad biased.



Let me know what you guys think and if there is areas i can improve??


Thanks

Don't make me download them to see them would be my first suggestion

It worked out pretty well! Ace work!

Upload them to a site like Imgur, Imageshack, or Dakka's own (and wonderful) gallery. I don't want to download a bunch of files straight from your computer dude.

They're on his gallery page, SRM.

Yah my only complaint is the file format ;p. otherwise these are awesome. Nice clean work on the yellow.

Wow. That is really something special. I can't imagine how long it took to get rid of the DA iconography.
Interesting choice of yellow. A lovely bold colour.

How did you go about shading? I've been looking around but I haven't seen anything this convincing. Even the Eavy Metal guys yellow shading seems a little unnatural.

So they are! Didn't bother checking. I'll post them for anyone else who's apprehensive:





First of all, great conversion work! The best conversions are the ones that look like you didn't have to do anything at all, and those models look like they came out of the box that way! Your yellow is excellent, and the transition to the edges is nice and smooth. The reds are a little muted for my tastes, but good. The flesh is looking pretty good, but you gotta paint the eyes! One final nitpick: the black base rims. If you softened them a bit by painting them brown, you'd bring more attention to the miniatures. Overall great work!

They look great and I'm going to have to steal this idea because I seriously dislike DA and don't know what else to do with those models.

First of all sorry for format (first time i posted pics) and thank you for the comments, special thanks to Brother SRM saving me a job

I didnt think that the bases rims would really make a differnce but after having a look at some pics they definatly do and the eyes well i am obviously smart because i forgot to put them in (apprently my Sgt doesnt need eyes he just hears really well)

Also on the converions it didnt take as long as i thought it would!! the first couple took forever but once you get used to the process its really quite easy just have to be very carefully where and how much you dig in (dont want to dig a ditch in his shoulder)

ill post my Terminators and Captain Lysander soon

It probably took you forever to remove all the dark angel markings. But you did a really nice job.

They're quite lovely. Very sharp painting.

Nice work Brother.

Very nice work! I'm looking forward to seeing more

Nice work! Nice yellow!
Been looking at the DV box set but couldnt be arsed with removing all the DA detail.....now.....just might give it a crack!
