Beginner painter here. Just trying to get a feel for of if I head down the imperial or crimson fists route.
These both are the best I can do right now. And I would appreciate any advice.
In all honesty I probably found the crimson fists a little easier. The black and blue base colours hide a lot of sins.
The yellow does pop however
First world problem for sure I know!
When I’m painting imperial fists I normally do a wash of a 1 to 1 mix of casandora yellow and lahmian medium.
What would be the equivalent for crimson fists?
Leviadon blue 1 to 1 with lahmian or contrast medium?
Or Nuln oil mixed with something?
All the signs are pointing to Crimson Fists having a massive rise in prominence this edition.
We’ve got the fresh models for painted up. The arch enemies, the Orcs, is very thematic.
I’d expect Pedro is a few months. And maybe a new book or extended lore mention too.
Plus the decals in the starter set. Shame our brothers, the OG Fists don’t get decals too.
Anyway, what are good books to read? - I’ve just gotten Ryne’s world on Audible.
I’ve got a small problem with perfectionism. And I’m just about ready to chuck another mini in the bin. This guy, I was pretty happy with.
At least until I took a photo and saw how shite the eyes are.
Anyway for what it’s worth I’m super happy with my yellow. And I found that painting the pauldrons is super easy with Tamiya 3mm masking tape!
But the eyes. They’re going to put this mini in the ‘rage out this is crap’ pile
Hey all I’m a relatively new painter. I’ve got a few Imperial fists. And I figured to try our blue cousins.
What your go to painting guide or YouTube video?
I like a relatively bright imperial fists scheme using their contrasts paints and have an IF combat patrol to paint, if that helps.
Bringing this here from the infernus thread.
I was looking at an old codex supplement. Maybe 9th edition. And found this squad of veteran intercessors. Is this not a thing any longer?
Are the only veterans in the current codex: bladeguard, sternguard, and vanguard?
I’m only asking as the white trim is cool as hell.
Just before I finish and commit to a squad. Thought I would check if I’m going outside the codex here?
