Imperial Fists Pre Heresy Armor

Here's another Pre Heresy squad.  I must say, this is by far my favorite of all those patterns.  Some of them are really difficult to work with.  It can get very frustrating when trying to prep them for painting.

  1. Absolutely amazing work. Could you tell me how you painted the armour?

    1. Thanks! There are a few step by step posts on this color in the Storm Eagle section (I think you can search that in the little box on the left column).

      I started with GW Tauscept Ochre. I gradually lightened it with a yellowish white color, working all the way to my brightest highlights. I then used some glazes to shade my darker areas. Eventually, I mixed a darker brown into the Tauscept and picked out all the darkest shadows .

      The rust was done with a GW calthan brown which was watered down, using it almost like a glaze. I did pick out a few parts of the rust with some lighter orange.

      I hope this is helpful!!

    1. The '7' on the shoulder pad was to do something as different as possible from the previous two squads I had painted... so they would be easier to tell apart :-)
