Warhammer 40,000 – Imperial Fists Call to Arms Pt 4

It is time to start some painting. But I still need to paint a tester model, to check if the colour scheme is working, if I need to replace a paint or go a different route.

As mentioned in the first article, it makes sense to do some mock up of the poses, to ensure that all pieces fit together. I really like these heroic poses of the Space Marines. I mean look at this guy: he means business!

To move on, I split the prepared miniatures into two lots - main colour yellow and others. I am going with TITANS HOBBY Imperial Yellow Matt Primer and all those who get a white primer, if the majority of the miniature is not yellow. For White Primer I either use Army Painter or Titans Hobby / MIG.

Among the miniatures primed white, were the scouts and two of the characters. Yes, I saw that mould line that I missed before and I'll take care of it.

Warhammer 40,000 – Imperial Fists Call to Arms Pt 3

I meant to post this two weeks ago, but I got caught up. Never the less, it is time to give you an update, as I have been busy behind the scenes. We left of in part 2 of the Call to Arms with setting the tone and giving you context on the scope and that this project will depict a Space Marine force of the Imperial Fists' 3rd company. I did a quick check if I had everything that I needed to move on and for stock taking, I still wanted to clean some parts to inspect them closer, so I setup another jar for paint stripping.

These were mostly some bits and pieces, weapon options and spares for Terminator and Assault Squads. Not necessarily part of the core army project. But now everything - with the exception of some vehicle parts - is stripped.

Among the "strippers" was this goofy mystery guy, who had such a thick coat of paint, that I actually could only properly identify him once the paint was off. And he's a Blood Angel Death Company miniatures in Mk VI armour.
