War Head Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 hello everyone, I must have painted about 15 - 20 marines recently in different schemes, trying to settle on a Legion and scheme I was both happy with, and could paint easily... finally... I chose the Imperial Fists. I've never painted yellow in any volume before so it's a new experience for me. I've done the below sergeant, which I really like but I'm stuck on what colour to do the base. I want the yellow to stand out so I'm thinking a dark brown? I obviously have things to finish on him but so far so good... what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Melice Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Donno, looks pretty good to me, I'd ad a bit of purplish shades to make the yellow pop and tie everything in, add a bit more weathering and some free-hand details, and I'd say you got yourself a nice model! keep going!

GrandMagnus Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Nice pose, really imposing and menacing. Maybe go for something dark to contrast the sharp yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokersminis Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I would say use some sort of concrete or plating so it looks like they are standing/guarding/patrolling a wall or fortification of some kind. That would fit the Fists like a glove, if you pardon the pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I think an urban grey/dark brown would be the best contrast. Are you using the Army Painter spray to base these? Great start btw, looking forward to seeing mroe of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromancer Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Looks really good. I'd say a dark brown base would work, something like a Mournfang Brown maybe? (If you use GW paint) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Awesome stuff! Is that just a regular power fist or a Solarite gauntlet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primarch83 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I agree with Joker. Make it look like he is on a fortification, that could be a really cool army theme all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
