Here is one of three Rapiers that I painted... two of which were in this Imperial Fists scheme:

Simply stunning! Ever since I started my Imperial Fist I've always looked at your work in envy. Your style of painting is an inspiration to any Imperial Fist player. Thank you for sharing!

Inspiration to any player. This stuff is just top freaking notch!

Flippin amazing man.......give me 5 years and I'll try catch up ok?

Is it me or is that marine humping the rapier.
but seriously sweet paintjob

those models look amazing.
I'm planning on making an IF army myself and was wondering what colours did you use and where are those bases from?

Many thanks for the kind words!

The bases are from Dragonforge Designs.

Here are a few blog posts that show me painting some Imperial Fists terminators in the same scheme:

Awesome paint job. The NMM looks great but the most impressive part about the model is the attention to detail and the weathering/wear....the chipping effect is perfect.

James, what size bases are those? I think that's a rad idea, and I'll now be putting my rapiers on them as well.

Thanks!

I don't have them here to measure (they were commission pieces), but I would not be surprised if the round parts were just about 60mm.

Ahh...So Dragon Forge made them for you special . They look great. I really dig that idea and I'm going to steal it. Now if only some of your skill was attainable through osmosis......

Hopefully some of the how to articles on the blog could enhance the osmosis... They are all over the place

Words fail me mate, but my admiration is endless...
100/100 flawless......
a standard to inspire and envy....!
