"This is my rifle..." (My Imperial Fists thread)

[Meph]

Your title makes me think of a different rhyme: "This is my rifle, this is my gun. This one's for shooting, this one's for fun." But maybe I have a dirty mind ...

Oh, that jumped to mind immediately!

Nice stuff man! Keep up the good work.

Meph: Thanks! I think the fists themselves need more definition, but working on the white will probably help the problem too, good idea

Chris*ta: Thanks man! I'm not sure about that pic, I just grabbed it [URL="http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/File:Neophyte_Scout.jpg"]here.[/URL] LOL, ya, take your dirty mind over and read the whole [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifleman's_Creed"]Rifleman's_Creed[/URL], kinda funny if taken out of intended context!

Everyone: Thanks a lot! I really appreciate everyone stopping by and the kind comments

I just finished off a couple more scouts. I can't seem to settle on how I want to paint things, so there are some little differences here. I took the yellow highlight a little higher and changed my red up a little.

Also, I changed the black up some, adding in blue from the Space Wolves family for all layers. I don't know if any of these changes actually come across in the pics, but in person, I'm liking the black better.

I think I mentioned this before, but when it comes to the chapter badge I start with a decal and then paint over it. I think the transfer blends to the rest of the model better once it's shaded and highlighted. Also, my painting is not perfect, so that decal looks way too crisp and neat by itself!

I changed the skin up too, partly to try something new and partly because I just finished Sons of Dorn. The recruits come from all over, so I don't think I'll have a set skin recipe.

Again, I've missed some details that I'll have to come back for, but these are done for now. Painted the lens on one scout but not on the gun of the other...Doh!
