Well hello once again, You may remember my Imperial Fists Terminators... commissar.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=picpost&action=display&thread=13519Well in light of the new '3rd UK get together' which I would like to attend, I decided I needed an army, and since I'm bored of all my other, unfinished ones, I decided to do an Imperial Fists Army. This is going to be what I hope is a quick project. This means that I've ordered a Space Marine Battleforce, some MK 4 Armour from Forgeworld to spread throughout the army and some Yellow spray paint. I'm going to literally assemble everything, spray it yellow, Gryphonne Sepia wash, white highlights and then detail, and voila. Anything I have in my bitz box is going to become the Special stuff, like the Techmarine I will show in a second, so I hope you enjoy this thread, and hopefully there will be some more pictures in the coming week....    They probably won't be as detailed as the Terminators, but they will be grubby and damaged don't you worry. Cosmic |

Good luck, the termies were badass and I'm sure this will be sweet too.

Thank lads glad you all approve. I'm intrigued Nathaniel!! Quick question about yellow Spray Paint.... I was planning on using the Plastikote spray paint range, they've got the perfect yellow colour as a base, has anyone else used stuff like this? It's enamel and that's my only worry, might be a bit shiny. |

Exciting! The Fists are such a classic chapter.
Are you a fan of the Lysander model?

Yeah they are I think Yellow is the best colour for Space Marines, it just fits right. I'm not particularly no, might have a bash a making my own somewhen. |

 Enamel makes me very sad. If you intend doing anything over the top of it... well, just forget it. You'd have to use enamel paints and stinky thinners. And enamel sucks to paint with. I think 'army painter' do a spray on yellow thats pretty 'fisty', and it won't totally ruin your models like enamel would.

Thanks for the info I had a rummage and found a Plastikote 'grey super primer' that I used to use on my Bismarck, so I gave it a go, and it works great, all I need to do afterwards is a watered down layer of Golden yellow and the Fists are perfect! I'll throw up some pictures later |

They're pretty hardcore..... I envy your painting Skills Looking forward to seeing the finished project I'm hoping to expand my Orks further for the next get together, maybe 1 superheavy on the way, i'll have words with Anthony when i have money to buy one of 'Our' Skullhamma's Not played Marines properly, so looking forward to seeing you at the third get together cosmic Dave |

looking good! I love how your 'basic quick paintjob' is twice as good as the table-top standard armies I usually see |

Thank you effect well as long as they av some paint on then anything is table-top I suppose... Well they've been dirtified and they're almost done, I'm now starting to hate the Blue eyes, so I might change them to green or something. Again these are just quick, I'm not going for neatness or anything  Cosmic |

Yours are the nicest Fists I've seen. The terminators are amazing and the way you painted the thunder hammers is incredible. Very impressed. I'd love to start a Fists army, but I unfortunately suck at painting yellow!

They're a bit rough around the edges yeah, but good nonetheless. Rough is an understatment! ;D But they're rough and ready and this should allow me to paint a lot, quickly,to an alright standard so much as they look good as an army. Thanks Cestus, I just hope people will see the Terminators first before these, and then at least they can see I'm not always this messy! Yellow isn't that hard actually once you find a way that suits you. These are a grey undercoat, Golden yellow, bleached bone highlight and it's that simple. |

No problem. These will be the next 4 additions to the army...  With the battleforce and extras that I already have I think I'll be able to have.... Commander 2 Tactical Squads 1 Assault Squad 1 Scout Squad Rhino Dreadnought 3 (or 4) Bikes Techmarine and possibly a Devastator Squad So not bad! Cosmic |
