I tend to not push the backpack quite as far as anything else, as I don’t want it distracting from the head and shoulders when viewed from the front.I’ve finished all my undercoat work, and am ready to take this from browns to yellows.

Obviously will not work on black since you want the opposite effect. But I think I just need a little bit more practice.Edit: I think Iyanden is the best Contrast paint for Fists.I have experimented with various contrast paints on various bases. I follow that up with Rhinox Hide across any edges or wear areas, modulating the intensity depending on how much wear that would take. Unlike the Ultramarines, they did actually participate in the defense of Terra and Dorn himself boarded the Vengeful Spirit with the Emperor and Sanguinus, though apparently he got lost along the way and wasn’t around when Horus killed one and mortally wounded the other.Aside from Dorn, two prominent Imperial Fists characters are Sigismund and Alexis Pollux. I want the highest points like the top of the helmet and shoulder pads to be pretty close to pure white, and lower spots like upper arms and kneepads to be just a touch darker.

But the brighter colors work fantastically like this. With the yellow armour complete, I then work on all the other details.

At this stage I also add a couple of spot highlights of pure white, such as the centre of the feet, under the eye area above the “cheek” panels etc..Jack’s method is similar to mine in many ways and yet you can see it’s a completely different result as well. I use Scale 75 Lilith Yellow as a nice bright pale yellow.Weathering is in a couple stages, all done with a sponge. Both one coat over Wraithbone. It doesn’t work as well if you’re trying to blend a nice transition across a panel as working with oils, but it’s a great pinwash. They are notable for being the only chapter that recruits from Terra and one of their duties is presumably still to help guard the Imperial Palace, alongside the Adeptus Custodes.

He has chosen to go with warmer tones, like Richyp, which definitely changes the feel of the whole mini, as well as using heavy weathering to both tie the model to the base and better define edges.Imperial Fists Captain Tor Garadon. As such, we will be looking at two airbrush methods as well as a contrast method that are all hopefully fairly simple to do. The shinier the better. My company inform me that their new primaris brother just don't fit in the safety harnesses. One minor deviation is the chest aquila is typically the same color as the shoulder pad trim and matches company colors.One common heraldic ‘flair’ you will see on Imperial Fists is checker patterns. And the Chaplain won't let us ride unless we buckle up.My company inform me that their new primaris brother just don't fit in the safety harnesses. One thing I have noticed if using the grey seer/wraithbone base route on flat power armor plates, they end up blotchy without a lot correctional work. As you can see, it’s a much warmer result and is also quite fast. Get a good smooth coat, it’ll make pinwashing and decals much easier.Decals want to go on relatively early in the process, that way any weathering done is over top of them, blending them in. Well, there’s lots of ways to do yellow and so we will cover a few. Presumably they will get some unique Command Assets but it is still a mystery what shape those will take.So, how do you paint Imperial Fists? I have experimented with various contrast paints on various bases. You currently have javascript disabled. You would think they wanted me to do work or something.... I've used Iyanden over wraithbone spray for vehicles and it is fantastic, it gets rid of the previous problems that I had with patchy colouring on large surface areas. I have no idea why this is, aside from looking good on yellow (see: Lamenters), but you’ll often find a kneepad with a checkered pattern or adorning banners. Like an oil wash it can be cleaned up with white spirits as needed. For the Imperial Fists, I wanted to go with a stoic model with a relatively static pose to exemplify the Fists’ stalwart nature. They also harbored a rivalry with the Iron Warriors, who So, Imperial Fists are kind of like yellow Ultramarines that like to build stuff and haul around heavy weapons. Thus I have found a light drybrushing of a similar layer paint tends to bring out the contrast and solidify the color. This sprays nicely. We want a perfectly smooth surface for the next 2 steps.Use Microset and Microsol to apply all the decals you’re planning to use on the model.

Frankly, they don’t get a whole lot of attention and as such as not particularly well developed.
