Crimson Fist Sternguard Squad #1 Progress

After a bit of a break again I got painting my Crimson Fist Sternguard. As with most of my Crimson Fists so far I still need to clean up the base mainly and clean the higlights so I have something to batch paint, which I like. So with that in mind please don't be to quick to judge.

One last thing I noticed the mass of cat fur on my photo tent which I shall clean before taking any more pictures  but it'll probably be apparent in these so sorry.

Let me know what you think.

Hopefully tomorrow I should have some Necron Warriors to show you so till then enjoy!

Crimson Fist Librarian in Power Armour

So I go this in the mail a couple of days ago and just got done painting him and just need to add details in the way of writing some scriptures, add some washes and clean up all the chips and give it a coat of varnish but other than that I like how he came out.

It is a metal miniature which is becoming a thing of the past for GW, if there's a couple things I'd say I don't like about metal it's how heavy it is and how easily the paint chips.

I will re-base this guy also as I feel he needs a bit more of a special base so looking out for one. If you could post a good place to get a 25mm hero base it would be greatly appreciated!

Crimson Fist Tactical Squads Progress 1

This is the first part of a few parts due to not all of them being finished and after taking the pictures I can see that these need there highlights tidied also but it gives the idea of the scheme I'm going with for them.

I gave myself a little break and on that break I've been reading and thoroughly enjoying the Rynn's World book from the Space Marine Battles book series. I'm about 3/4's of the way through and I'd say I recommend giving it a read if your interested in more detail in the Rynn's World invasion.

On to the picutres.....

Can you guess/do you know who the model on the right was? I have changed the arms so this may hurt your chances of guessing but it's a fairly old metal model. 

List your guesses in the comment section and I'll tell you if your right. 

But as I said earlier in the post you can see (sorry there a bit blurry) the highlights need a little tidying but I'm happy with the rest.

Really enjoying painting these guys and am getting through pretty well and nearly finished most of the units. The problem is mainly waiting to buy/things to come through the post for me to finish them off. 

Lastly I'm going to mention this once again, the giveaway is still going on until the end of the month so get your entries in.

Crimson Fist Autocannon Dreadnought #1

So as I said before I'm trying my best to get these done quickly so mainly I'm batch painting everything which means things are getting finished alot slower but quicker if that makes sense....

Anyway I got this Dreadnought to an acceptable standard tonight and thought I'd show you. In need of a couple of washes and also neatening the highlights but other than that he's done and I'm working on my next one as I'm writing this. I'm also batch painting two Razorbacks and Rhinos also so expect pictures of those also. I also have a Tactical Squad pretty much done and a Sternguard Squad just missing a Power Fist so coming along nicely.

Before I show the pictures though I'd like to remind everyone of the giveaway that I'm holding http://www.40kn00b.com/2012/02/150-followers-giveaway.html please if you haven't already entered do so, want to have as many people enter as possible.

Crimson Fists Vindicator WIP

So this is the reason I've been gone so long, stripped everything started Crimson Fists. But first had to get the motivation to do so, got it and gave it a go. I've started work on a bunch of troops but dropping in an out of doing different parts of the army to avoid getting bored and I think it's going fairly well.

I'll let you be the judge of how I'm doing.

What needs to be done:

1. I need to finish the highlights
2. A couple more washes
3.The treads
4. Clean up (because as you can see it's still pretty messy)
5. Add tank icons

What you think of it so far?

Thanks,
