According to my reading, I've done a couple of things that defy the fluff:
1. Imperial fists guns are black and grey/silver
2. The iconography should be a black fist on yellow or white

I've done these things to break up the monotony of yellow/black. I've never actually played a game at a FLGS. I'm pretty confident that no one will even notice, let alone care, but there is a part of me that is a little concerned that my fluff-defying antics may be poorly received.

Should I change the paint style or do I need a chill pill?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113347.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113347.page GMT
So does anyone who objects to the way you paint your mandollies.

They're Imperial fists - they're yellow, they have a fist icon (and besides, Crimson fists are THEIR offshoot, so perhaps the pauldron has been "borrowed" and they believe that repainting it will anger the machine spirit (stupider things have been done by marines).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113357.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113357.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113389.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113389.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113404.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113404.page GMT
Better to work on painting technique and other stuff rather than worrying about what others think about it!

Keep on truckin' mate!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113433.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113433.page GMT FLGS who has a black with pink trim meched up IG army. All of his rhinos have hello kitty heads, and all of his stuff looks amazing. Its amazingly detailed and well done. I've only ever heard one guy fluffhammering him and he got shut down by everyone else with a brain.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113502.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113502.page GMT
Screw fluff! As much as this game is about the history of each group, and that fluff is typically what draws a player to their particular army, it's really only a little part of the game.

The other part is about it being YOUR army. Paint it as you wish, play it as you wish. If somebody cocks off and complains about "Oh, your fists aren't done right," they need to pull the spikey chaos marine out of their butt.

Side note:
I've seen some very cool pink marines myself ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113582.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5113582.page GMT OP here.

Thanks dakka, you guys have certainly quelled my concerns. I will stop worrying about the colours on my space dollies and paint them how I like them!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5114953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496729/5114953.page GMT
