Crimson Fists hobby thread

Good stuff, man, good stuff. I really like the tone of colours and the shading/highlights. Right up my alley.

Really nice work on the Plasma glows and the glass viewports!

I also appreciate how you are keeping the crimson areas minimal. Often times when a chapter has a trim color, painters will overdo it and you end up with that "football team" look. Sometimes less is more!

Thanks Big Red--I spend a lot of time deciding which colors should go where. Glad those careful choices are appreciated! I just did some work improving the plasma glow too!

Brakkart, the Las/Plas is from here: [url]http://bitspudlo.com/products/las-plasma-platform[/url]

It needed a good deal of work. Lots of bubbles and sharp edges that looked weird to me. I also ended up loping off the existing lascannon and replaced it with one from the razorback kit. The existing one was a little bit sloppy looking and the one from the kit has some more detail and is a little longer. I also sculpted lenses onto the targeter thing because they will look great painted up! I think it was roughly as much work getting it up to snuff as it would have been doing a conversion using the razorback turret and plasma guns. I do like how it looks old-school since the las/plas configuration is only on the Mk1 version of the razorback. I am actually going to be using this on a future deimos kit, so it should fit in nicely with that model.

I'm sending a threeway-split personality here...

Arg! Oops. It's because the post had be be approved by an admin (because of the link?), but I didn't catch on...for a while. Maybe I will just edit those and make them blank.

Anyways, here are some pics of the razorback progress. The turret is done, though I might add another purity seal on the side were there is already a purity seal (smaller one higher up). Good idea?

Here are pictures of the finished Razorback! Not the greatest picture quality, I keep meaning to set up a better photo setup and never do (because I am painting !

Really nice clean work!

Very impressed!

So what's next? More tanks? Flyers? Infantry?

I have a vindicator that is almost finished! I worked on it along side the razorback, so it just needs finishing touches. I also assembled a space marine with a lascannon today for a tac squad, so I think after the vindicator is done I am going to do him, a sgt. with a combi plas, and a sternguard to round out squads/add options
