Behold! Are you not entertained?! Been making a bit of a mess lately with a little bit of yellow and a whole lot of Terminator. The bases you see on the right are just termie bases with a different material from the usual green stuff; plumbers putty! It's a two-part ceramic-like material and I used some tools to mold in the cobble stone pattern. Kinda an experiment to be honest :) I'll have the

Hey fellas! After another loooooong hiatus, I've picked up the old brush again and once more started slaving at my Imperial Fists. For the more astute readers, maybe you've heard of my old Fist army I sold got into the hands of the owner of Battle Foam and now holds a hallowed place of honor in a display case in the American southwest. They've also been mentioned on 40k radio and referenced as "

I just sold my Imperial Fists army. For 200$. Yowza. See, I have several addictions in addition to 40k. I love Star Wars. To that point, i needed cash to buy a Mandalorian helmet. I know, huh? More to the point, I've been working towards finishing my IF terminator force. Though I did sell my TH termies :( I still have a lot to finish. Don't worry, I did sell the army to a good friend of mine.

Today I am changing gears. For a year and a half I have been extolling the virtues of yellow paint and it's application to tiny men in the service to the Holy Emperor of Mankind. Well, in my search for a suitable game to play with the kids where I work(I am a correctional officer at a juvenile facility), I stumbled over some interesting images of mech/tanks at Fantasy Flight Games, purveyors

Thar she blows! I have finished my first terminator for the Fistwing army. I'm going to go with "Fistwing" until something better comes along. :)You can see I have given this fella the converted TH/SS I had been working on, and they came out beautifully. I also went with a different paint scheme for this IF. I have switched from a vomit brown/flesh wash ink/yellow ink to Iyanden Darksun to

That's the finished product. I'm pleased it came so close to what I had envisioned. It's not that I don't like the basic storm shield, I just felt I could give it more character. I started by removing the buckle that connects it to a normal shield. The main portions were of course fashioned from plasticard, the back a thicker version and the front piece was a paper thin section. My wife

I finished my deciding on what my next project will be! Loganwing army dressed as Imperial Fists! I picked up a package of CCW Termies and began the process of making things difficult for myself. I didn't feel the typical termies had enough character, likea blank canvas. They have lots of conversion bits for Wolf Gaurd, and the Deathwing, so how could I bring the "oomph" to these guys?

Well, in my last post I kinda came down on GW for not making a TF cannon with good meeting seams on the barrel...well I was wrong. When I put the stabilisers on the barrel, the seams completely disappear. Sorry GW, my bad. This model was one of my favorite to ever paint; Techmarines are one of my all time favorite sculpts. The models that are

Well, here's my latest attempt to resist building upon my IF force....failure. I finished this LR just the other day. It's got a bit more white on it than I had originally planned on, but I feel it's an excellent contrast to the yellow and the black.I kinda went decal crazy with this piece, but you can only build so many of these beasts in your life and this one's mine. I liked the thunderbolt

It's done. I have at last finished my Imperial Fists army. All 2000 pts of it. Here stands Lysander, exemplar of the Imperial Fists. I used lots of scab red as that's the deepest red I could find. Nearing the end of his construction, his cape was missing something. I decided to free hand a bit of ornamentation onto the interior of his cape, and it really carried the piece. This is a close

My time painting my core force is coming to an end. I'm kind of sad. For the last year and more I've dedicated most of my modelling time and painting efforts towards my yellow fellows. I've been toying with the idea of splitting my next extension for my force into a White Scars pure bike force(see above photo....ok, so those are LotD, but I love doing choppers, and those ain't mine btw!).

It's been a year since I started I Love Yellow Paint, and the hits just keep on comin'! My third and final Tactical squad is completed. I had alot of varied poses going on in my squad, both for fun and to break up the monotony. Here's the backside of the sergeant. I gave him a head from a Cadian Gaurdsmen, talk about a promotion! The Cadian sprues have lots of gritty faces for anyone looking

This weekend, I had the pleasure of being sequestered in Gouldsboro Maine, on vacation. Well, just a lovely weekend and a pair of tanks stood between me and perfection. This is a shield I took off a SM command sprue arm. I couldn't find an adequate stand alone shield so I had to improvise. I'm really pleased with the results. A couple of decals off the baneblade sheet made for some really

Here's my latest work on the Predator tank w/reinforced armor. Let's face it, any tank for the Imperial Fists has gotta be beefy. The reinforced armor gives it that built up look. Like the rest of my Forge World pieces I've ever recieved, the armor required some work to get onto the kit. This piece is by no means finished. I have the basic vomit brown finish applied and the flesh ink to the

Well after a two month long hiatus for religious, financial.....and being lazy reasons, I'm back. I've had experiences that would have killed other men, scene sights that would blind the sight impaired....wait, is that possible? Anyways, I started a D&D campaign and dungeon mastered for the first time ever(I loved it, who'd have thunk?). I even passed a urinary stone! Yay? I'm very close to

I am finally finished painting all my Rhino/Razorbacks! I am SO glad I will never have to work with a Forge World rhino door ever again. You would think they never size these things before creating molds for them; awesome detail? check, interesting/obscure design? check, fits right onto the model it's meant for? well.... I worked in a different stripe design for each Rhino Hatch. The barber

Thar she blows, gents! The last dreadnought I have to paint for my IF force. This one took me only about a week, going quite well with my plan to finish this army by the end of may. Ambitious aren't I? I've made his arms interchangeable, because that's just economical. I've dubbed him "Isardi", partially because of a well written Star Wars character who was a cold-hearted b*tch, and partly

Here's my second Rhino for my Imperial Fists. The yellow came out WAY better than my last Rhino, and I fixed the problem with the strange film that accumulated on my last by adding less detergent to the ink mix(the detergent helps break the surface tension so I don't get pooling). The yellow was the legendary discontinued Citadel yellow ink. I also changed the paint scheme for the Fist emblem

This right here is the "contents" of the Ravenwing Battleforce Box (retail 90$ US). The 6 bikes even out the price, individually selling for 45$ per 3 biker box. Then you get a landspeeder, 35$, and an attack bike, 25$! That alone would make this kit a valuable resource for folks making a Ravenwing force, White Scars, or a counts-as Korsarro Khan flanker force. The real killer is the large 10"x

Well I've run into an obstacle while composing my Fists; I've gotten frustrated and tired. So tired that I have delayed and delayed my friends request to paint his Space Wolf Venerable Dreadnought. Even claiming victory in Marchs' Painting Competition yesterday hasn't kicked my butt into gear. I've gotten this way every once in a while. How does everyone else deal with this slump? I think that

Well it isn't exactly what could be considered a blood bath, but that's what happens when you play hard in a speed painting competition! For 8 hours the best painters in Bangor Maine gathered at 3 Geek Gaming to crank out some big bugs; Carnifex speed painting! This is a pic of Becker, this is the fella that pulled first with his beautifully painted carnifex(below). Yes, he paints that way.

Well, there it is. I now have all of my materials for my Imperial Fists army! Now all it needs is adhesive, paint, and time....precious time.Today I got all my tactical squads chopped and shopped, that's twenty SM's in total, the remainder I have to paint for the force. I got a few dynamic poses in there, as I hate the standard SM hugging a bolter to his chest. Dammit! Extend that bad boy

The Imperial Fists are reputed in the annals of Imperial history as the personal gaurd of the Emperor during the Crusade and in the Defence of Terra. In seeking to personalize my force of Fists, I delved into a bit of research to find an aspect of their real-world analog that I could exploit; the Praetorian Guard of the Roman Empire.The Praetorian Guard were an elite formation that served as the

Well, the initial 24hr soak in simple green couldn't pierce the adamantium hide of the LR. I'm reimmersing this monster and I'll pull her out again in about two days. Well, back to the hobby table, I have some more Fists to work on. Until next time, I love yellow paint!

The above pictured land raider, pattern terminus(see; titan gut-puncher and carnifex smiter) was apparently buried a year ago under detritus and old issues of Maxim in the back room. It was unearthed and presented to me as a painting/modelling challenge. I don't know who built this blocky turd, but they must have forgotten that this is a $50

Here it is, fresh off the bench! Meet my Ironclad Dreadnought, Malatesta! I put a few more coats of yellow ink on him(thanks BigWill for pushing me not to give up on the Wil Davies method), and this is the result. I went whole hog and built the base all from scratch to match the base on my Mortis pattern Dread, I cut up pieces of plastic card, glued them together by their flat sides, then

When it's vomit brown! I've finished a brand new Ironclad Dreadnought and I tried some new things with my layers to make the piece more yellow. I even switched up my brand of yellow ink to match what Wil Davies did. Alas, I was disappointed. The color can't seem to get to that yellow. They would make an excellent group of Howling Griffons.....but not Imperial Fists. I have to scrap my whole

Well, it's almost a new year, and to kick it off I have something new I was thinking about the other day; a list of Modelling Commandments I live by and wanted to share with the rest of FtW. I envy the weekly Rogue Trader Fridays(never miss a post!), and Ron's Top Ten List every Tuesday. So I suppose I'll break up the established tedium of midweek with this pushy bit of prose. My first

Well, some doubted, some hated, but Mortis pattern dreadnought cares not! This is actually an Attack on Black Reach dread with Forge World autocannon hate-throwers. I went really simple, nothing fancy. The metallic portions were the biggest example; just boltgun metal washed with badab black. It dulled down the metallic so the focus is really on the yellow. This bad boys name is "

I was just thinking to myself while scanning a ton of photos into my compy, "Gee, this is tedious. And boring. You know what else is tedious? Painting that yellow onto Imperial Fists. Hell, I bet if Imperial Fists were real, they would use painting yellow as a masochistic ritual instead of The PainGloveohmygodepiphany!!!" That's right. Yellow paint plus agony plus Games Workshop equals

Games Workshop has announced the date for Gamesday 2010; saturday the 21st of August. My wife(the most loving and generous creature on earth) has made my decade and said we can head on down to Maryland and attend. We have to start saving and getting ready for the trip as we live in Maine, as that's quite a slog for our New Englander sensibilities. More importantly, I have to start some concept

Well I didn't finish my To-Do List in time for today, but on the bright side I got a lot of work done! Those Ratmen, my Devastator squad, and as you can see, I've black basecoated my dreads and have applied my vomit brown on both of them. It also appears as though bad times could get worse for Obama.

At last! Devastator squad reporting in! I FINALLY FINISHED THEM! Super happy with how they came out, and the base adds alot of depth and story to these guys. I used walnut scree on top of super glue and flattened the pieces as much as I could to create a textured look, spread some matte varnish on top of that and dunked the base into sand. I let that dry and added some albino moss on a few

Soooo....yeah, someone at Games Workshop is having a little fun at my expense. They made these craptastic blocky looking bitz kits for my boys, then just today GW releases these kits for the Crimson Fists...look at the flowing shapes of the emblems...glorious.... So WTF am I supposed to do? How am I gonna manage to build my IF if GW is only giving love to the CF? (note; sarcasm oozes off this

Ha-ha! Another project bites the dust! Scratch those friggin clanrats off the to-do list. I really went pretty basic on the paint job, scab red on hoods, codex grey on cloaks, covered by a gryphonne sepia wash. The armor was mithril silver, and the sepia wash made it look nice and dirty, almost like dried blood. Perfect for filthy ratmen. I finished her off by gluing small grit art sand to

Well, I've been sitting on my hands of late, and the work has been piling up. Let's see...a battalion of Clanrats for my friend...that squad of devastators for my yellow boys as well as my mortis pattern dread and an ironclad on the slab. Soooooo, yeah, lots to do! I'll be busting out those rats first, they're easy enough. The IF stuff has been sitting for a looooong time too...guess I just

Well, the better artist won today, and that wasn't me. We started the competition at 1pm, 5 competitiors, the pieces were chaos knights. It was very quiet the whole time, only the rough scraping of brush on model breaking the tension. In the end, a gentleman whose name escapes me emerged victorious. His piece was the green knight. I placed about 4th. I was very defeated by my friends Zach

My FLGS is sponsoring a painting competition today. Guess where your friendly local painter will be today. Oh yeah, that's right.This will be my first painting competition. Even though it is a small one, in my mind, it's for all the beans. My arch-nemesis, Zach, may be competing with me today. I intend to take the field today and destroy him. No fancy maneuvers, no tricks, just victory.I

Good morning folks, and happy Veterans day. I'd like to take a moment on my little corner of the internet to thank those brave individuals serving at home and abroad in our armed forces. Your work is appreciated, and I wish you all safe journeys as you pursue the goal of protecting America and prosecuting the difficult task of war in the name of freedom. Thank you also to those men and women

Ah, my Severites. This is just a bit of a change of pace for me. Prior to Loving Yellow Paint, I Loved Kit-Bashing. These boys you can see here are my home brew Imperial Gaurd regiment, the Severites. They had really low-tech(note the las-locks instead of lasrifles), and had a Baroque sensibility to them. More than that however was the copious amount of kits it took to create a squad of

I've been known to collect a little too much. I have 4 concepts for armies currently in progress(Imperial Fists, Severites, a Death Korp army, and some stuff for WHFB). I have a whole short list of projects for other people; a chess set for my brother for x-mas, a double set of armies for a friend of mine in payment for work on my car, and some mock ups for a colleagues' FULL THRUST ships.

Ah, the crispness of autumn! Well, actually the crapness of autumn in Maine. But the turd tastic weather has allowed me to delve into my workload! Voila! Et un Razorback(I don't speak french, and the only french I know comes from World War II movies, so if that last thing makes no sense, not much I can do about it.)!

Gar! Yet another commission for my pal Nick. This time it was a piece I was only vaguely familiar with; Dreadnought! I had the distinct displeasure of putting together a Venerable Dreadnought kit about a year ago. Damn. You. Games. Workshop. This half pound piece of crap destroyed my entire complement of drill bits, didn't fit half the time(the chassis was a bastard), and ruined two metal files.

I just finished a commissioned piece for my pal Nick; a Damocles Rhino. The kit is actually from FW, and it’s really just the satellite dish and a comms package on the right side of the Rhino. As you can tell from my blurry (sorry) pictures, they are done up in a Space Wolves color scheme. The yellow was actually a tasteful mix of Iyanden Darksun and Golden Yellow, it produced a warm yellow to

Just a quick shot from the hip, I got my Forge World order in a weeks time!? Yup, my friends and I ordered enough goods for free express shipping and man, was that shipping express! For those not in the know, Forge World is a subsidiary of Games Workshop that does some of the most exquisite model work ever witnessed by man(check 'em out- forgeworld.co.uk ).

Well, there's a bit of work I've done this afternoon on the first of the yella fellas. Of course some might be confused as the "yella" portion is more of a pale brown. s'truth, the actual base color is vomit brown. I've put some watered down scorched brown(50/50) in the crevices of all the armor, and it certainly has picked out all the details of the Fists. If anyone is curious about what my

When you first begin using a new gadget as a hobbyist, whether it's flocking, new brushes, or even a new sculpting medium, there is always a learning curve that simple instruction can't bridge. The difference is time spent behind the wheel as it were. I've Just finished putting multiple coats of vomit brown on my Space Marines, and I can definitely see myself using this airbrush to further my

I have just got my first airbrush set complete with compressor. It was a bit of a farce as I realized that i have never actually used an airbrush before. My hands are still covered in paint as a result. The models themselves are looking ok, and I trust with more coats the coverage will be uniform. As a personal note, don't shop at AC Moore. Over priced and under knowledgable. Even with

In this blog you will see a daredevil miniature painter take on some of the most hair-raising tasks an artist can! Doing an entire Imperial Fists army? Thrills and chills indeed!
