Mass progress on Imperial fists

 So a wile ago I was given an air compressor and an air brush I am still learning to use it but at least so far it makes a damn good tool to lay on nice smooth layers  to bring up yellow from black the first two shots are of the base "Heavy goldbrown" vallejo game color number 72.151

 these other two pictures are the same models with a layer of "sun yellow" vallejo game color number72.006 

Iron clad dreadnought

Well seance I have bean fooling with plastic card lately I thought I should finish up a project that has been shuffled around my table for years. Next step painting.... I am sure it will be done any time now...

Venerable Brother Lacedaemon update part 2

Well the yellow is done and most of the details have sorted themselves out. as you can see there is at least one white plate that need some thing on it but I can't seem to decide on that that is yet and the eagle on his chest plate need some high lights. Plus I am not thrilled with the plasma coils.
Still i should have him finished soon

Imperial Fists:Dreadnought

This Dreadnought is a test for some of the new paints and I have found that i love the new "shade" Reikeland Fleshshade. It does not seem to pool the way the old washes did. Don't get me wrong they washes where great they certainly made my projects look nice what with the depth that they add. Also the new yellows averland sunset covers even better then Ilanden Darksun. But it is also a bit more orange looking then it's predecessor. Yriel Yellow is the replacement for Golden yellow and I don't believe that there was much if any change with this one. It might be just a shade brighter but it certainly is close.
The Dreadnought  it's self is repaired from some silly things I have done to it over the years. The multimelta was a twin linked lascannon at one point because the original was hacked up to make a right hand close combat weapon for a custom ironclad dreadnought that I have still not completed but will be working on again soon. It's storm bolter was drilled at one point but the holes were horribly out of alignment so I filled them back in with green stuff and painted on black spots for barrels. The shield was not to cover over a blemish but to make it stand out from the other dread from the assault on black reach box I have painted up totally stock. I don't know who first did this little conversion but I saw it first on one of the pictures of the days on Bell of lost souls.
There are still allot of things that could be improved with this guy but I think I got want I wanted as far as a second multimelta dreadnought with a bit of a different look to him.           

Venerable Brother Lacedaemon update

Sorry no fluff update for this one. But I thought it might be nice to see this guy broken down into all the pieces he is being painted in.
Right now I  am still working on the yellow it is simply the most time consuming part of painting Imperial fists. After the yellow is done the rest falls together very quickly. So only a few more sessions to go to complete him.   

Venerable Brother Lacedaemon

Venerable Brother Lacedaemon is in the process of interment in one of the most holy of dreadnought shells that the chapter still maintains.
The story of his fall will be told at the completion of the process. For now we can only tell you that the omnissiah has accepted the first stage willingly and we pray that he allows this to be success.

I  managed to get to GW yesterday and decided that wile getting some of the new paints I would get my self a little treat for completing my imperial fist army. I have wanted to get one of these venerable dreadnoughts seance they came out. But never had a real reason to get one with so much else on my painting plate so I held off. Now seems as good as time as any what with the new paints to try out. I might as well have something I really want to paint up.So far i have fount Khorn red to be a good replacement for the old foundation red. Also the new foundation yellow covers about the same as the old one. I have  test pots of the texture, dry ,Glaze and shade that I want to try out but have not had the chance yet. But soon I will I am sure.
