Crimson Fist Themed Force

Pics:

I got the hankering to do a marine army about a year ago. Always like the paint scheme - so I went for it...lots of fun to paint...but still C:SM


Just a couple shots of the main force:

Looking at the speeders, I can tell that you have strong attention to edge-highlighting, but the assault marines look a bit untidy. I'm guessing that you dry-brushed the entirety of the models, but the stippling effect makes them seem a bit untidy.

On the whole, I think the army looks great! I find the Crimson Fists to be an army that is actually quite striking due to the colour scheme and think that you demonstrated that really well. As stated, I think there are places that could be tidied up a bit, but that's not to suggest that they don't look great! :)

Congratulations on finishing them up! I'm about to finish up my Blood Angels today and marking that project off is just a great feeling. :)

Very nice. As someone who is often accused of playing Crimson Fists (despite my army's color being red...) it's nice to see an actual Crimson Fists army all painted up.

Any Crimson Fist is a friend of mine. They're nice man, very nice.

... only one little thing (I know, you didn't ask for comments/critiques directly, but seeing how you posted them and all) I'm just wondering if you knew in the fluff that they don't all have Crimson Red fists? In fact, most have Crimson Red Fist, and only veterans have both gloves painted Crimson.

Other than that, they're great! :)

Great paint job, good to see minor chapters get a spin (saw a death spectres army the other day at my local GW store, army looked awesome) the Crimson Fists in particular have interesting fluff. Really a fan of your highlighting but you may have slightly over done your dry bushing a little bit but overall a very impressive army.

HA, honestly I didn't know that! I more wanted to make sure that they were not mistaken for ultramarines!

I've just read a few things on the GW site and in the 'dex - it was more a fun painting project, I always thought Drop Pods looked really awesome...IG is my first and for-most army...but to play and paint!


DRYBRUSHING: yeah, I get a little impatient sometimes when I paint...Mostly I just want to see it finished! I'm learned to take it easy/easier on the drybrushing.

For this army though, I think I'm done with it for now. (NEVER REPAINT...I now have an unfinished dwarf army...again) 'nilla marines really don't fit my play style, and I really didn't want to build razor spam... I'm actually debating on ebaying this force...I am a little hesitant though...because they do look 'striking' on the table top (from about 2 ft :P)

Thanks for the CC
