Nards08 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Ok here it is. My first WIP pictures for the Imperial Fists Expansion. The first is my Captain. Before picture from when I painted him the first time back in 2000. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/2012-02-16192358.jpg Here is his current state after some small conversion work http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/2012-03-13185319.jpg Part of first squad, trying to figure out what I want to do with the bases http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/2012-03-13185154.jpg The rest of first squad http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/2012-03-13185237.jpg This is the original squad I painted a while back. Changed how I am doing yellow as well as company so these guys are getting stripped and repainted. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/2012-03-13185047.jpg Still have a rhino to build as well. More to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Looks like a good start to the expansion. Like the finished marines with the green trim, looks like they work well. What were you thinking for the bases? Rubble from an Imperial city? Grasslands? Something more exotic? Still, look forward to your progress!

Nards08 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think being Fists rubble will be the way to go. The one that is based is the first attempt but it's too flat for me. I need to add more rubble in different sizes. Just trying to decide how I want to do it. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Foes Remain Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Rubble with bits of building here and there, the IF are decent urban fighters and siege specialists so it will fit in with their role. Also, am I the only one playing Spot the Difference with the captain pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Oooh ooh I really like the green. It never even occurred to me that it could look good, but behold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nards08 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Well thank you. I wasnt sure it would look right either but after I did it I couldnt turn back. As for the rubble I beleive I am going to chop up bits of old spruce and use them as large chunks of masonry. Gonna give that a shot this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 For Dorn! Great job, though sad to be losing a brother of the 5th! :sick: Nice conversion on the Captain, I can't wait to see him progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Looking quite nice B) The yellow is a bit too mustard-y for me, but I'm looking forward to seeing the whole force painted. Keep up the good work! Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nards08 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Little bit of an update. I'm terrible about WIP shots but here are some finished shots of the rhino and part of the tac squad. I have quite a few of these old rhinos sitting around from about 11 years ago so I figured why not put some to work. If anyone has a few of these older style rhinos around it would be a first founding chapter. Sorry that the pictures are a little rough, all I have is a camera phone and a kitchen light. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/Warhammer%2040k/2012-04-01201644.jpg The light makes the Rhino appear lighter than the rest but in person they are the same yellow http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/Warhammer%2040k/2012-04-01201711.jpg http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/Warhammer%2040k/2012-04-01201727.jpg http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/Warhammer%2040k/2012-04-01201742.jpg http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/Warhammer%2040k/2012-04-01201804.jpg And the whole group as of right now. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af155/Nards08/Warhammer%2040k/2012-04-01201610.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Very good. Like the rhino, got a bunch of these in the shed. Nice to see it back in action. Brings back some good memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Great work. The more I see of it the more I'm liking the green shoulder trim, gives a great contrast to the reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
