Shaw3029's pre Heresy Imperial Fist log.

[Darren Richardson]

I've also been working on the command squad but the dog ate the standard (limited edition!) so I've had to replace it with a new red scorpion one..

ARGHHHHH the dog ate it!

So how many times has your dog eaten parts of your figures now?

Still I know what having pets are like, I had a cat who would go to sleep on my books/papers when I was reading, and my current cat likes to give my figures a whack with his paws, just because they are "In His Way"!

As for your army, just taken most of the morning looking through your posts, fine work there Shaw, love the work on your tanks most of all.

[shaw3029]

Not that many luckily. He's only a small do so he can't mange much

Glad you like the army!

Here are a few quick shots of my "finished" command squad. I am tempted to go back and redo the praetor as he's a fair amount darker than the rest. But il finish the second Typhon first. Although I have been a little distracted painting my old orc blood bowl team.

Apologies for the poor photos. They are unfortunately some of the worst I have taken,

Cheers.

[shaw3029]

Another crappy photo I'm afraid. This time it's my 25th anniversary sgt conversion.

Very much looking forward to the forge world open day tomorrow, Lets see what book 3 brings

[interrogator_chaplain]

Wow! Those Typhon's look awesome! What's crossing the paint table next? How about some wish listing?

Seeing as Alexis Polux and Sigismund are in the next book, Dorn himself might not be far off. If you were tackling Dorn, would you give him the same battle grime as the rest? Or would you tone down the dirt and grit?

[shaw3029]

Cheers, I picked the book up yesterday so I'm currently going through it working out what to do with all the lovely new rules and how that might affect my current army lists.

I'd like to have sigismund and I do expect forge world to do a model of him as he is such a iconic character and has some fantastic rules.

As for Dorn, if workshop ever made a plastic thunder hawk if have him in his personal transport but I've not put much thought into painting him, I'm sure he will look very different to the standard marines, being gold. I'd go for a similar looking gold to what I achieved on the banner above.

Cheers!

This whole log is inspiring to say the very least.
I love the weathering, makes me want to grime up my Iron Hands more as everything I was calling finished, just doesn't look it anymore!

[shaw3029]

Cheers. That's exactly what I did to separate units. What I once thought was finished was actually far from it.

Had a nice couple of days browsing over the latest book. I won't be adding much to the army but Sigismund will definitely be making a appearing and my command squad look like they will become a unit of Templar brethren.

I cracked the weathering powders out this morning and did a little to each tank to mesh them all together, I also did the same to the contemptors. I'm a lot happier with them now.

My plan is to just add a couple of new bits as and when they come out. I'm very much looking forward to the weekender in May. Who knows we might even see Sigismund, he's on the cover of the ticket after all

[shaw3029]

I've stolen one of my contemptors to add to my ongoing iron warriors army, however I decided to upgrade the existing contemptors with a havoc launcher.
