Here are some pictures of my Crimson Fists. In 2009-2010,
I painted this army for the Tale of 40k Painters
thread on Warseer.
If you're interested in the methods used to paint this army,
head over to the Mek Shop and
check out the full
project log. It details the progress of this army over
the course of a year.

HQ Units
|
 |
Pedro
Cantor
This is one of my favorite models in
the Space Marine line. He's got enough 'bling' on him to
make him look the part of a Chapter Master, but so much
as to be ridiculous.
Oh, I also used the original
spelling of his name from back in the day. |
 |
Chaplain
with Jump Pack
Another model with a lot of character.
Chaplains with jump packs were all the rage in previous
editions of the Space Marine Codex. Nowadays, not so much,
but he still looks cool. |
Elites
|
 |
Venerable
Dreadnought Orion
Ah, I love painting dreadnoughts and
this guy was a real pleasure. I'm particularly proud of
the freehand banner. |
 |
Sternguard
Veterans
Very cool models, but a pain in the
butt to paint. All the fiddly bits and the areas to paint
the chapter iconography are really small. Aside from the
painting woes, I like how these guys perform on the table.
The different ammo types are great and they're pretty decent
in an assault, especially when you have Pedro around. |
 |
Terminators
Gotta love the Terminators. I was thinking
of doing Assault Terminators, with Thunder Hammers and Storm
Shields, but decided against it. These guys are the Crimson
Fists after all, it seemed just wrong for the models
not to have powerfists. |
Troops
|
 |
Tactical
Squad 1
The Tactical Squad is the bread and
butter of any standard Space Marine army. You need these
guys to hold the ground gained by your other 'flashy' units.
They don't excel in any one area, but can do any job reasonably
well. |
 |
Tactical
Squad 2
Another of the bread and butter units. |
 |
Scouts
with Sniper Rifles
I love the look of these guys, but don't
expect much in the way of killing power. Their job is to
camp on objectives and keep out of sight. |
Transport Vehicles
|
 |
Rhino
The ubiquitous armored box to get your
Tactical Squads where they need to be. |
 |
Razorback
I usually load the Sternguard into the
this thing, with Pedro Cantor going along for the ride. |
Fast Attack
|
 |
Landspeeder
Tornado
Armed with a Multi-Melta and Heavy Flamer,
this thing is perfect for use against their favored enemies,
the Orks. |
 |
Assault
Squad
Another unit painted up for how they
look as opposed to any tactical effectiveness. The Chaplain
joins these guys and are used to help bail out any unit
that gets into rouble, or to mop up any stragglers. |
Heavy Support
|
 |
Vindicator
This thing is so ugly it's actually
kinda cute! The pug-nosed brutal look of this tank matches
it's battlefield role perfectly. Get in close and blow BIG
holes in the enemy battleline. Subtle it's not.
|
 |
Landraider
The big boy. There's something impressive
(and somewhat intimidating) about dropping a model the size
of a shoebox on the table. well... maybe not that
big, but pretty damn close
