The Best Fist Tutorial!

I think you found gold my friend.
I'm testing it out right now on my PH fists(siege themed)

Looks like a good approach. :) I'm in the middle of putting together a similar tutorial, which I was going to post; perhaps I'll move to this method instead now... We'll see.

I just finished basecoating my flamer trooper I hav'nt highlighted yet but I did the yellow wash on his beak and it is terrific.
the key is the smooth even basecoat
This will be my new method but I do want to try a chestnut ink with red instead of brown next and put up a poll which one looks best

ive tried chestnut, black, brown, and flesh

and i honestly prefer the brown

_____

also, matte medium works just as well as washing liquid...though it wont leave ur marines smelling like a spring meadow :P (like mine did)

Have you seen how they've done yellow on page 41 of the new painting guide?

I have, the drybrush portion is not right for Marine armor it makes it look blotchy

i havent....

it says basecoat blazing orange,heavly drybrush white,the use the new gryphone sepia wash same as pg 37 in the old book but the old one says yellow ink.
I'm getting a good result by going by the guide after the brown ink stage,I hit it with the grophone sepia for shading then I will go over it with vomit brown,highlight then ink.

ok ive tried that...boo....i much prefer this method

Here are 3 guys I did using the new method

Hi all,

I'm new on here, but just thought I would say thanks to Rogal Dorn for thinking my tutorial worthy enough to post a link to! :)

Hope you guys find it useful!

All the best,

Wil

:)

its definantly the best tutorial for yellow, ever made...


also remember, im the one who emailed you through my email: lord.macharius007@gmail.com, just to give you credit for such a great method. i hope you stick around on these forums man.

ah yeah I remember :)

Yeah I will be sticking round, seems like a cool and friendly forum!

Good to have you on board Wil.

That's some smooth looking minis you have (so is that site of yours ;) ). Shame they're fists, but we can't have every thing :D

wow Iacton....man, your just hurtin me all over today....did you forget your medications? you know, the ones for crabby old farts?

His auto-narthecium seems to be in working order...

Welcome Wil, good to have you around! :D

thanks for the warm welcome guys! :D

Looking at your chequer effect and your yellows, I bet that you could paint a mean Lamenter marine - just a thought ;)

Excuse me for the heresy of suggesting a non-PH legion :P

That's 10 "Hail Warmaster!"s Iacton... :D

10 hail emperors or a Chuck Norris Signature ™ roundhouse kick from Vred :P

I think I'd rather take the roundhouse and the eldrow bop :P
Warmaster schwarmaster :rolleyes:

What have I told you people about taking my name in vain? You'll not go to Vredland (Patent Pending) when you pop your clogs if you do! :P

Iacton you forgot the Splap! in there.... :lol:

Thanks a lot!! I tested the scheme on my free WD termie and am now gonna buy a whole apocolypse company to convert to pre herasy imperial fists! I think the tutorials on the bretonnian helmets and pre heresy terminator helmets are gonna prove invaluable in the future months

im glad i could help

and ack! you have the name of the main character in my book :blink: !

It was me reading your mind (dont tell anyone)

best way to paint fists... dont bother... or paint em with lone wolfs blood effect... thats what they will look like anyway!!! :lol:

Wiltrichs that tute is awsome dude!!

im gonna use it for my 'fists' that im bringing to the Gedren Prime camaign, hopfully with any luck they'll look just as good!!!!
