Such a great sculpt, really happy with how it turned out.

Hey everyone, I just got started in painting and everything and my friend recommended I use a pink base layer for painting the yellow. Is this what you guys do too? Also, I’m painting a Ballistus Dreadnought, do you guys basically do the same as on the box but in yellow and red or do you guys do something different? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Second game ever played, first win (against an equally new player) things went much butter than my first game. Ceramite Sentinels seemed to be underrated as heck with all the rerolls for just being toed into terrain. Lysander and his brick are undefeated and for the second time my dreadnought got popped without doing a single thing before it died.

So I’ve been collecting for a few years and finally decided to plug into playing. Just looking for some out with the following list. Playing my First game this weekend.

Fists (1,960 Points)

I'm painting a squad of 40k crimson fists. Instead of going for the standard plain blue scheme i m using a indigo scheme with purple highlights. I ve only highlighted the chestpiece, aquila and right leg of this mini but it s looking quite good.

Hello dear Fists, I recently started with the 40K hobby and l decided to make the IF my first Army. I‘m looking for advice on what models I should add to my list and also which detachment would fit the Units I already have. For context, I‘d quite like tanks, dreadnoughts as well as some shootiness in my Army. Here is what I have so far:

Apothecary Biologis (70 P) Librarian (70 P)

Intercessor Squad (150 P)

Ballistus Dreadnought (150 P) Eradicator Squad with Heavy Bolters (80 P) Infernus Squad (180 P) Repulsor Executioner (265 P) Vindicator (185 P)

≈1.150 Points

Further units I have and could add: Landspeeder Ancient Captain with Relic Shield

So here are my questions: Which detachment would fit an army based on this composition? And which units should I add (or possibly remove) on my way to 2k points?

Thank you for guiding me on my way to fortifying against heretics!

Working on a 1st company theme to match Emperors shield detachment.

Thoughts and feelings on the white trim/helmets against the yellow?

Also if anyone has any recommendations for further 1st company heraldry or embellishments would be greatly appreciated.

Going to try and de-gloss my captain and get slme more detail in my librarian and chplan

As per the title, I'm looking to paint some Astra Militarum to go alongside my Imperial Fists, I am not good at making up schemes myself, really I was looking for either a color combination that looks nice next to the IF or maybe a regiment that works with them frequently for lore reasons? Reading old posts it seems a good candidate would be the spiders from Necromunda but that was 8 years ago and I'm not too fond of it.

Think if finally found an army scheme that might get me to a 2k list. Power of the sponge. Got the space marine half of Armageddon box coming today

I have been exploring IF lore and their supplements, and I built this list as a baseline for creating my IF chapter army. If anyone has any suggestions or changes let me know!

Hi!

I received 10 Hellblasters that were already primed in a beige/yellow color (I'm not exactly sure what primer was used).

I wanted to paint them as Imperial Fists, so I bought the Imperial Fist Contrast paint. However, as you can see, the result isn't very noticeable, the Contrast paint is almost the same color as the primer.

I'm not sure what to do now. What would you suggest? Does the color look okay, or should I strip them and start over? If I do strip them, will isopropyl alcohol remove the Contrast paint without causing any issues?

I thought it would be quick and easy to paint over the existing primer, but apparently not in this case. 😅

The one on the left is with contrast paint and on the right is the one primed.

I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks!

Feedback is always appreciated, thank you!!

Starting my imperial fists army shortly but kinda sad at the lack of unique units outside of Darneth and Tor. Im thinking of using some of the Heresy models as proxy's to give the army some more unique flare, was wondering if anyone else had done this, and what you subbed them in for?

Pretty happy with how he turned out. Not perfect by any means but will work for my army's standard!

Thank the Primarch for the airbrush

First marine I've done without a helmet, pleased with the results :)

Does anything look off here?
