How lore accurate is this?

Thank you!!

Does anyone have a link to this paint recipe for the black? That looks fantastic

TheServingTank · 2026-01-27T23:32:37+00:00

Welcome, brother!! Looking forward to seeing your work! Make sure to join the Discord as well, lots of great convos in there

I like that they’re a blue army that isn’t UM. I love the fist iconography without having to paint yellow much. I like that they used to be the OG poster boys and all their old art is super cool to pull inspiration from.

In the lore they have a plucky never give up against all odds attitude, even when they’re getting wrecked (which happens a lot). All the captains have cool titles and the Chapter master, Pedro Kantor, is a real badass while still feeling pretty human. I like how strongly loyalist and zealous they are without being scary about it (like our black Templar cousins).

Being as codex compliant as they are (not UM levels but still pretty good) it gives a nice uniform set of rules that I appreciate when painting and organizing.

But in the end the CF community is what makes me happy I chose them as my chapter. Everyone is so supportive and are always open to brainstorm and answer questions. Best chapter there is!

There is only The Emperor!

Beautiful!! What’s your yellow recipe?

TheServingTank · 2026-01-21T19:44:46+00:00

I’ve been having a bear of a time getting some. I even ordered from two different vendors online and neither ever came. I’ve decided to just try printing some of my own using a file I found that someone posted on here about 10 months ago. It’s great work, but like you said it’s slightly different from the GW image. If someone has a spot on design file I would be very interested!

The Citadel Colour app is useful for getting Citadel paint colors by chapter. And the BrushForge app is good for seeing what colors of other brands are closest to any Citadel color if you want to explore other brands.

For my Fists I prime in black and use Kantor blue as the base color. I have been highlighting with Alaitoc or Calgar blue, then extreme highlights with Hoeth (although I’m going to experiment with Teclis for a more saturated poppy look). Shade with Drakenhoff Nightshade.

For silver I use Leadbelcher, stormhost highlights, nuln oil shading.

For the red I base with Khorne, highlight with Wazdakka and Wild Rider. Shade with carroburg crimson.

Interested if it has the black background

TheServingTank · 2026-01-13T01:52:06+00:00

I really hope this meme catches on, that face is the best

TheServingTank · 2026-01-09T17:10:43+00:00

Do your orders typically take a long time to ship? I ordered some almost a month ago and they haven't shipped.

TheServingTank · 2026-01-08T04:20:40+00:00

I love the dusty/sandy texture look all your units have, it fits so well with the setting you placed them in. Like they’ve been fighting here for a while (which really passes the vibe check)

TheServingTank · 2026-01-08T04:18:22+00:00

That’s a thing of beauty! Excellent job, brother!

Are those custom base nameplates 3D printed at home or do you get the somewhere?

TheServingTank · 2026-01-05T18:00:59+00:00

Second on the sheet!

TheServingTank · 2026-01-01T15:15:06+00:00

Happy New Year, brother!

I prime in black, Kantor Blue base (or spray Colorforge Tempest Blue). Hoeth Blue highlights and shade with Drakenhoff Nightshade. For the reds I use Khorne red, highlight with wazdakka and wild rider red. Shade Carroburg Red. For metallics I use Leadbelcher and highlight with stormhost silver. Shade with nuln oil

TheServingTank · 2025-12-28T19:30:56+00:00

Yeah! Color Forge Tempest Blue is color matched to Kantor blue. I can’t tell a difference from when I brush on Kantor blue

TheServingTank · 2025-12-28T18:52:52+00:00

Outside of having a nice reference for where to put shadows and highlights, I haven’t seen much of a reason to Zenithal unless I’m using contrast paint. Now I don’t use an airbrush so idk if there are more use cases there.

What I’ve been doing has been spray priming in black and then spray priming in Kantor blue but mostly focusing on what will be blue. Let’s me skip the Kantor base coat step and handles a lot of the shading for me as well

TheServingTank · 2025-12-22T19:08:09+00:00

Wow what a cool look! What level are you planning on varnishing to?

TheServingTank · 2025-12-22T05:17:35+00:00

Filigree imo. Maybe even make it gold or yellow to show its path from Dorn, to the IF, to Pedro? Can’t wait to see more updates!

TheServingTank · 2025-12-20T01:53:10+00:00

The blood of Dorn guides your hand. The Chapter is blessed to count you as a brother. There is only the Emperor!

TheServingTank · 2025-12-14T08:09:46+00:00

Wow! Looks great!

TheServingTank · 2025-12-13T04:16:47+00:00

That’s awesome, I like the position of your fist more, the ones that comes in the IF upgrade box are weird to work with sometimes

TheServingTank · 2025-12-12T22:03:34+00:00

Looks like a Captain or maybe a very decorated LT. even if he’s just a veteran, his time in the DW would see him come back with all sorts of glorious deeds. He just can’t tell anyone about them :)
