dex_911 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi all, For years I have wanted to start an army log on this glorious forum, so finally I have! Below are the first few photos of my Crimson Fists army which is WIP. This army is brand new for 8th edition and will be focused entirely around the new Primaris marines. Why the Crimson Fists? I have loved them from the very beginning! The deep blue colours with the contrasting red fist. The level headedness of the marines themselves. The tragic loss of so many brothers during the Rynn's world incident. The hatred of the Greenskin! - I love all of this. Reiver Sergeant: "Hush brothers, the orks are near..." http://i.imgur.com/zCk1mDQ.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/0EX93F2.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/UKni0Co.jpg?1 I aim to be posting updates frequently of my progress so please do follow and if you have any questions let me know! Cheers! Dex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dex_911 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Thank you all for your kind words! I aim to have this army around the 2000 point mark - I just need to wait and see my options when the codex comes out. I also have my eye set on a Kantor conversion using the store birthday captain model, so look out for that when I get my hands on him :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Looking great so far, dex. :tu: One nitpick: the Intercessors could do with the same weathering process you used on the Reiver, in my opinion. Makes them look more gritty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex_911 Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thanks Brother Chaplain! I tend to agree with you, I will look into weathering the intercessors also. Thank you for the feedback :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Very nice, loving the subtle highlights. What's the blue recipe if I may ask? I have my eyes on doing some CFs soon and yours look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dex_911 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thank you all for the encouragement! I have had a few questions regarding the blue recipe: 1. Chaos Black Undercoat 2. Kantor Blue Base 3. Druchii Violet Wash 4. Bring raised sections of armour back up with Kantor blue. 5. Highlight with Aldorf Blue 6. Extreme edge highlights with Hoeth Blue. 7. Armour joints and recesses control wash with Nuln Oil Hope that helps those who have asked. I also have just completed 2 5 man squads of intercessors and a lieutenant. Photos coming soon!

Ancient Terror Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Beautiful. The almost 30k-esque muted paint job is spot on. How do you plan to handle Hellblaster plasma guns against the dark blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex_911 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Brothers! An update for you all. I received my box of orks last week and proceeded to butcher them for my display cabinet. Some green stuff was used for the gore on some of the models, but mostly it was just a good hack and slash of the ork bitz. (was really fun!). If you notice one the orks being flung back, that's where my librarian will be, casting his psychic power. I have also photo'd the art piece next to my cabinet, more to come on this as well. Hope you enjoy! http://i.imgur.com/7SPcX2P.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/0G4wn4h.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/QRcVVIU.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/ss8xGFA.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/KNmXs4E.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/hSPY4UG.jpg?2 http://i.imgur.com/eSjaIcw.jpg?1 And my dreadnought is ready for painting: http://i.imgur.com/a4Ndtox.jpg?2 http://i.imgur.com/LLCzyY7.jpg?2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magos Kasen Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 These are really nice, I like the display board, and the gold on the chaplain is spot on. Looking forward to seeing the dreadnought painted up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
