MiniB1084 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hi everyone, I am currently painting up a Imperial Fists 5th Company Force and Have chosen to paint the Aquila's on the marines chest plate silver, rather than the red show on all official GW stuff. My question is have you painted yours like the official stuff or have you made small alterations to the colour scheme? Thanks very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I find that a silver or gold chest eagle looks really good on imperial fists. Makes it look less cartoonish. I’m away from my models for the weekend but most of mine have silver chest eagles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinstryfe Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Not Fists, but I frequently make those sorts of little aesthetic changes. It's lore friendly as well, as Marines are supposed to vary things occasionally to make it harder for the enemy to follow. jeremy1391 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nusphigor Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I paint mine in the same black of the 5th company trim.However, I take a lot of liberties with my fists as i mix lots of pre heresy and post codex iconography together.In fact even if they have black trim i don't even think they are 5th company XD jeremy1391 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Sacrifice Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I've done all mine as red and never considered otherwise. Black, gold, silver, bronze would all work though imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maritn Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I've painted mine in a dark grey, which I use for other parts too (e.g. holster, pouches). My Fists are basically only yellow, black and grey (aisde from some details and helmets of sergeants). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
