Crimson Fists - Commander & Standard Bearer - WIP

 Hello everyone!

So these figures is what I've been working on lately, sadly time hasn't really been on my side because I'm currently doing my bachelor project, which does take priority :-p


They are still very much a "Work In Progress", so somethings will definitely change before you see the finished version. The Banner will probably be done at a later time, probably at the same time I do the one for my anniversary figure.


Hope you like them!

Crimson Fists - Casualty - Painting Guide




Greetings!

So I'm still paint testing here, to figure out how I'm going to paint the rest of my Crimson Fists units. You might have seen my last test, but of course I didn't write down any directions for that one....I'm a moron.

So I've been painting a couple of figures and paint stripping them the past month, until I remembered that I had this fine figure laying around so I thought I might as well paint it.

I used mainly Vallejo colors for this figure, actually I think I only used Vallejo colors :-p

For the Power Armour I used the following colors:

Base coat:
  • 72.019 - Game Color - Night Blue (It's very dark, a lot darker than GW Regal Blue (Or whatever its called now))
Hightlights:

  • Night Blue (See above)
  • 72.022 - Game Color - Ultramarines Blue
  • 70.902 - Model Color -Azure (Most likely a paint in the Game Color range that match this one aswell)
Painting:

  1. Night Blue base coat
  2. Night Blue 6(7):1 Ultramarines blue ratio + a few drops of water to thin it down
  3. Azure 1:1 water mix added to above mixture
  4. Repeat the above highlight if needed. Depending on how much time you wanna spent.
  5. Finish of with a fairly fine edge highlight of pure Azure (probably thinned down slightly)
  6. Depending on how much you have highlight it might be needed to tone down the recesses of the armour. I used a black wash to pin wash where needed.





For the cloak and Fist I used the following colors:

Base:
  • 72012 - Game Color - Scarlett Red


Highlights:
  • 70.909 - Game Color - Vermillion
  • White (any white will do to be honest, but I used a white from the Vallejo Model Color range)



Painting:

  1. Scarlett Red base
  2. Apply black wash, I used Vallejo Model Wash - Black (You could also just do the base coat with Scarlett Red and add drop of black and then continue from there with highlights)
  3. Scarlett Red + water highlight
  4. Add a few drops of Vermillion to the mix
  5. Repeat step 4 if needed.
  6. Add a drop of white to the mix for the highest edges.



For the rest of the gear you can use whatever colors you want :-)


Finished figure (Still missing base)











*Update 25.10.23* - Base Done
So I manged to get the base finished. I should probably have used a 60mm Dreadnought base, but sadly I didn't have one laying around.







Hope you like it.

Crimson Fists - Librarian


Hello everyone

So its time for an actual update (huzzah!). This time it's my Dark Vengeance -> Crimson Fists Librarian. This figure have been about a year in the making and only just recently got in the mood to continue work on it. I think it turned out fairly decent, if I had painted it now, I would probably have painted the Power Armour differently, but cba to do that now :-D



Anyhow, here's some pictures of the finished model. 







*Note to self* Get better at taking pictures....and learn to freehand paint a proper fists...


I know it was a short post, but better than nothing!

Hopefully there will be more soon.

Chris




*Edit with more "better" pictures (hopefully)*

Work sorta resumed!

Hello everyone!


Just got in the mood to paint some space marines again. Sadly progress is very slow since I'm currently writing my bachelor project so don't have that much time/energy for painting :-(

But I will post here as soon as I finish something!

Stay tuned.

Work currently on hold!

Hello everyone


In case you haven't noticed I've been slacking a bit with the updates for this blog for quite a while now. I haven't stopped painting I've simply changed my focus towards Flames of War at the moment.

So if you are interested in what I'm currently doing you should go check out my other blog :-)

Hopefully there will be new updates here in the near'ish future :-D
