r/ImperialFists

Trying to get back into painting some 40K after focusing on other things. The Sons of Dorn will forever have my heart though!

Pretty happy with how he turned out! The plasma bleed light is probabbbbly a bit intense, though 😅🤓 Feedback is always appreciated! :)

Khabor Trexus, the newly promoted 1st War Leader of the Celestial Lions, is one of the few remaining Firstborn Astartes that managed to evade the wrath of the Inquisition.  He is equipped in Indomitus Terminator Armour and wields the 'Spear of Khattar' and the Storm Shield 'Kaisereine', bringing the Emperor's vengance and defiance wherever they are aimed. He returns with his recently restored Chapter to Armageddon's 4th war. His hatred for the Orks is matched only by those of his brother Chapter of the Black Templars. He has vowed to cut down anyone who gets in his way of restoring his Chapter's honour and avenging those battle brothers who were wrongly slain by the Inquisition.

Yup, starting a new army. As the Celestial Lions are a successor of the Imperial Fists, I'm gonna run this guy as a Lysander Stand-in

I now have all three dreadnought types! After playing my first two matches with the brutallis and redemptor and losing them immediately I’m excited to use this guy and potentially not lose him immediately.

I recently started painting Imperial Fists and I am having a blast. Looking forward to having a sizeable force of the yellow bois!

My first attempt at hand painting the logos instead of using transfers. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

The detachment grows

This is my Ancient in Terminator Armor. Body of Leviathan Captain. Extra Hammer from the Assault Terminator box and I think the head is AOS. Also He has a Shield on the back. Maybe I should take some pictures of that.

Thoughts on yellow? Too orange?? First time trying pink/yellow contrast so not sure how it's looking.

C&C welcome!

In some ways quicker than a gladiator because no turret. But the the truck bed was more intensive than I expected.

My fellow Imperial Fists, unfortunately I have never won a match with my IF. I have played several other factions, and the winrates are mostly balanced, yet i have never won a game with my IF.

So I ask for List review and was hoping for some constructive feedback and suggestions. My last match was a crushing defeat from space wolves, i was basically tabled in turn two. So i came up with this list.

Image of Ballistus just for fun, because recently painted.
