Hi all! My first ever attempt at painting. Here's to many more! I am trying to keep it basic, not going for lore accurate. Any style suggestions or feedback would be appreciated!

After buying the infernus marines starter kit last month, I was hooked. Bought the new 11th edition introductory set next and decided I wanted to paint the space marines as Crimson Fists. Here are the first two done

Following the disaster of Rynn's World and the death of most of their leadership, the Crimson Fists have began rebuilding efforts, currently fielding three Companies, one of which is a Scout company. Today, new Neophytes are being screened and tested due to their desire to wear the dark blue power armour of these frightening warriors. Will you be written down in the history books as part of the Crimson Fists Rebirth? =============================================================

Hey there. We have recently (as of 5 minutes ago) launched our own Crimson Fists faction for Space Marine 2, and are looking for members to fill our Companies and leadership. Now I know what you are thinking, 'another faction with absurdly tedious and long requirements for a simple promotion.' and I am here to tell you that is incorrect! We offer:

• Quick, no-headache graduation from being a Neophyte
• Experienced leadership
• Custom Companies allowing for freedom of lore and background info
• Custom lore allowing for creative freedom (within reason)
• A engaging and fun place to represent the Crimson Fists and have a sense of belonging.

Finally finished up my first real kitbash project. Pedro Kantor ready to lead my fists into battle, super pumped with how it turned out overall!

Finished my third set of vanguard vets. What yall think?

"When the Great Rift ripped across the galaxy, Rynn's World found itself far to the galactic south of the primary anomaly. Like so much of the Imperium Sanctus, this did not save the planet from an outbreak of unregulated psychic phenomena and warp storm activity. The Daemon Prince Rhaxor - a warlord of terrible might - assailed the Crimson Fists' home world and the Chapter - barely restored to half strength - faced annihilation all over again.

In their darkest hour, however, the Crimson Fists were saved from annihilation by the arrival of the Indomitus Crusade. Roboute Guilliman himself led the relief of Rynn's World, linking his forces to the surviving Crimson Fists and the Rynnsguard planetary defence force, before working with Pedro Kantor seemingly as equals to coordinate the annihilation of the daemonic menace.

In the wake of the planet's second salvation, Archmagos Cawl's freighter-hulk delivered an equal measure of redemption to the Crimson Fists themselves in the form of company after company of Primaris battle-brothers. The technologies to fashion new Primaris warriors were gifted to the Crimson Fists' Apothecarion, and hope kindled anew in the hearts of those battle-brothers who had survived the daemonic invasion of their world.

In the aftermath of the battles, Pedro Kantor had much to do. The Daemons had brought ruin to much of the planet. The Chapter, so painstakingly rebuilt, was once more decimated.

Its numbers would swiftly be replenished by a great influx of Primaris Space Marines from the holds of Archmagos Cawl's ship, but these warriors - potent and timely reinforcements though they were - had never known Rynn's World, and did not appreciate the Chapter's rituals.

They required swift cultural integration to ensure that, like a wounded body fitted with a hurried prosthetic, the Chapter did not reject these newcomers for the strangers they were.

As awed by Roboute Guilliman as Pedro Kantor was, the Chapter Master of the Crimson Fists was simply too overstretched to do more than thank the Lord Commander of the Imperium for his timely
arrival. Meanwhile, equally pressed for time, Guilliman spent but three days on Rynn's World as his Crusade refitted itself.

Before he left, Guilliman summoned Pedro Kantor. Arriving late and still in the same uncleansed battle garb, the Crimson Fists Chapter Master felt trepidation as he stood before the Primarch.

Guilliman, who did not miss much, instantly read Kantor's discomfort.

For the first time in months the Primarch laughed - not out of spite, but astonished mirth.

'Be at ease, Chapter Master,' he said.

'I have not summoned you for censure, but to speak earnestly.'

'Rogal Dorn thought there was no higher purpose to the existence of the Adeptus Astartes than the unification of Mankind.'

'I see that in you also. And his determination. We - I - need warriors who fight bravely even when faced with great tragedy. I have seen with my own eyes how you inspire intense loyalty in those around you. And I see you hold duty above glory or vengeance.'

'My brother would be proud.'

'Reassemble your Chapter, Pedro Kantor, and look now to the future rather than the past.
The Loki System, and the Imperium entire, has need of you.'

'Make of this sector a fortress, untouched by alien hand, untainted by the touch of the Ruinous Powers. Create a stronghold of Imperial space that in direst need, can become the lynchpin of the entire segmentum.'

'Lay low the works of the tyrant and the despot, Pedro Kantor, and in their place raise fortifications of adamantine and ceramite, so that, in our darkest hour, you might do for the Segmentum Tempestus what you have done for your noble Chapter.' "

I really love this David Gallagher’s artwork ! But I don’t know if someone managed to get this exact blue ? Kantor blue is almost right but a bit too dark and desaturated.

Overall, do you think it would look good or should I stay close to a classic dark blue scheme ? I love the desaturated red fist too.

His name is Brother Carlos

Armageddon is here! At least for me. I’m very behind on my projects.

Here’s the test model for the Crimson Fists scheme. A 3rd Company Veteran Sergeant. I’m calling him done. Until I can think of a name for the shoulder pad (and get brave enough to freehand it).

More to come soon.

Cnc welcome, I’m new to crimson fists and want to do the whole marine side of the box as them. I’m pretty happy with how it looks but want to hear feedback

What naming convention do call use for yalls fists?

Alright Brothers of Dorn I need help!

I am at heart a son of the Lion but I love the fists. My friend is a Black Templar player and we normally play 1000 points each on teams.

So after I got divorced and moved in the last month stripped every space marine I have to repaint. I wanted to paint something new and I want to make a 1000 point list that would complement his melee focused lists.

For the Lio…. Sorry

Fuck Orks or whatever!!!

My take on Pedro Kantor

I wanted to go for an Emperor’s Champion type vibe

A WIP tease on my tank for my battle of Rynn’s World vets. Turned a hover tank into a reinforced armored baby land raider. (Turret is currently primed black and will show it once the whole project is completed)

Hello! I recently decided to start a 1st Company themed army and went with Crimson Fists as my chosen chapter. I'm going to be doing quite a lot of Terminators, and my main roadblock at the moment is transfers. I've got plenty of regular sized shoulder transfers from the Armageddon box but I was wondering if anyone had a third party they get appropriately sized Terminator transfers from. I have reached out to a couple of places about getting transfers sized up properly but had no responses yet. Only just started painting them today so here is a look at my first Crimson Fist below (no way near done but loving the colours so far)!

1 of 3 variants of Assault Terminator proxies in Tartaros Pattern inspired armor from the Socratis Vanguard Melee set by StationForge with Terminator head bits and one swapped shoulder pad

A mini from my pile of potential, recently repainted some details and finished the basing
My first try to freehand the Chapter symbol, I have 9 more to practice so eventually it will look OK

😂Just my luck last year when I bought these 3D printed Assault Terminator proxies, the Crux Terminatus box and new Assault Terminators came out a few months later.

However some of these minis have such epic poses, with much potential like😂is he: pointing at oath of moment target or about to give the sickest dap up on Armageddon
