Black_out Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 And so shall the epic battle brother wearing the MK3 helm in the epic charging motion be named Serje Pantimion! If you'll allow it, of course. Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Awesome. Henric Isenhart is BadAss. As well as the whole squad. Great painting and posing..I should make my future squads in the same manner. Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hushrong Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I would be honored to name that last assault marine with the breacher helm: Battle Brother Jorun Stahl, if that sparkles and pleases! Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanist Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Nice work as always. Do you have a list of all the names that have been used so far? And am I right in thinking your going for germanic names? I'll have a think on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Thanks, guys! Mechanist, above, asked about the sort of names I´m aiming for, so I thought I´d comment on that in general: The Imperial Fists are quite obviously based on Prussian culture, and as such I´m shooting for mostly Prussian-Germanic sounding names. That doesn´t mean that they all have to be that way - far from it: The Imperial Fists recruit from many worlds, and so their names should reflect that. It´s why there´s a sergeant Zol´Tara and a Techmarine called Torias Khation in the army. I actually try to stay away from purely modern sounding Germanic names. So if you like to name a dude in my army (welcome to it - to me it's very inspiring and motivational, and I am very grateful to the more than 60 frater who have done so up to now) please think about what 30 millennia (my Fists are situated in 32K, the time of the The Beast Arises novel series) will do to given and family names. 38,000 years of mispronounciations, misspellings, evolving consonants and vowel shifts will turn a name like Janus Brand into Dumes Blin, and Volkert Schmidt into Vocki Spud. I keep a list of all the miniatures, their names, the frater who named them and links to their claims here, if you're interested in former named or future to-be-named miniatures. @ Black_out: Serje Pantimion is a really cool name - very 40K. Thanks, buddy! @ MikhalLeNoir: Go for it! Just a bit of extra attention to pose goes a long way! @ Venomlust: Glad you like it, mate! Thanks again or naming one. If you want, there are still nameless devastators. @ Kierdale: CHeers, buddy! Care to name an assault marine or devastator? @ hushrong: Cool! Thanks for that name! I have 40K-ified it a little, if you don't mind. @ Mechanist: Above is a comment that answers your question, but which is also directed at anyone naming my marines.

Doctor Perils Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 <3 <3 <3 kirchberg is so pretty Augustus, you've done an awesome job - not only the painting but the pose is also realistic and dynamic :D Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Cheers!Another five assault marines finished! Meet the first half of XIV Assault Squad http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20170302_003_zpst15bmclf.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20170302_004_zpsa8i0emht.jpg Veteran sergeant (Eviscarator) - Targus Vor - Race Bannon Sergeant Vor has a reputation of being an exceptionally harsh officer, who leads through fear and brute force. He leads his squad with an iron fist, demanding the utter limits of perfection and allowing no dissent from the codex whatsoever. He has been known to force his subordinates into the pain glove and to collectively beat those who do not meet his expectations. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20170302_008_zpststrisln.jpg Battle Brother - Gregaras "Ironheart" Basqess - Vazzy A resolute proponent of the codex astartes, brother Basqess has been dubbed ´Ironheart´ by his fellow squad members, for his utter emotionlessness in executing sergeant Vor´s orders to the letter. Some say his psycho indoctrination process got the better of him. Still, his combat record is flawless. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20170302_005_zpsxdburt6h.jpg Weapon Specialist (Flamer) - Pyrese Tor - Eldrick Shadowblade Brother Tor delights in his duty as a weapon specialist, often being the first in suggesting to breach an enemy encampment by whittling down the occupants with a flamer, and then volunteering for the execution of his plans. He has become so skilled with his favourite weapon that he is able to spout his flames over walls. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20170302_014_zpssawgfluu.jpg Battle Brother - Lyran Roth - Dosjetka An agile thief when he was still human, brother Roth is the prankster and self-appointed morale officer of XIV squad, something he is often derided and even punished for by Sergeant Vor. Still, he has earned the respect of all his squad-mates for his skill with the jump pack; once disabling a renegade Valkyrie assault carrier by flying up to it in mid-flight, and attaching a melta charge to its engines. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20170302_017_zpshmwo78st.jpg Battle Brother - Arios Taal - Pearson73 Brother Taal has earned a reputation of being an emotionless slaughterer, who favours hand to hand combat over any other kind of combat. He has passed the opportunity to lead his own squad on more than one occasion, preferring to remain amongst his brothers and closest to the actual fighting. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20170302_011_zpsegla9skx.jpg Hope you like! Comment and feedback most welcome!Replies: @ Lord Thørn: Glad you like him! Cheers, buddy! @ Eldrick Shadowblade: Thanks. I'll try to do more of them in the future.

It's pretty inpsiring to do, actually, so I do recommend it. I'd be honoured if I could name one of your guys :) Hidden Content I love the snippets of fluff you attach to each character, I think I need to start doing this myself! i agree , how do you come up with names for everyone? I don't! I ask other to name the miniatures and the name plus the finished marine give me a sense of their character, which gets the creative juices flowing. You're most welcome to name the last unnamed marine in XIV squad, the flamer specialist. :) Black_out 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thamier Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I like to add a bit to the fluff of these guys, and i think you should add Markon Talleos as your flamer specialist, quiet before battle but volatile as fire once battle starts :) Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
