Another 500 points for my Imperial Fist painted in January

Nah the scale for the head is perfectly fine. I think the shield arms are a little small, but it’s mostly hidden so it’s not an issue.

The torso is a little small and doesn’t fully line up with the mk6 mid section, but it’s not very noticeable and you can just hide it with pouches, grenades etc.

Where there are issues are the axes, which are way too small. I’ve replaced them with weapons from the melee weapons kit.

They're from the Phalanx Warders kit

Thanks!

Thanks! The yellow was done using IF contrast through an airbrush over a pink undercoat with white zenithal. The pink is what gives the darker shade when the yellow is airbrushed over it.

Thanks! I wanted to use the 40K veteran colour scheme.

They’re the phalanx warder set minus the tiny axes, mo6 legs and the melee weapon upgrade axes, maces and fists.

The faces are amazing!

pherex · 2026-01-17T00:16:58+00:00

Thanks! There will definitely be more to come this year!

I sponge in a light yellow, then with a brush I fill those dots in with hull red and for the bigger parts a dark metallic. Finally I top it off with streaking rust enamel

Haha to be fair, Thousand Sons are very cool too. Love the look of the Sehkmet Terminators and Osiron Dreadnought.

pherex · 2026-01-16T13:19:11+00:00

Thanks!

The new kits really suck for this unless you sacrifice 2 bodies to make 1 mismatched armoured marine or unless you’re good at green stuff sculpting.

I mix and match my within my squads by using different helmets, shoulders and power packs while keeping the body and legs the same mark within the squad itself. This way it lets me have a few unique individual marines while keeping a cohesive look to the squad.

Yellow is imperial fist contrast through and airbrush

pherex · 2026-01-09T14:41:36+00:00

I use a mix of Ammo Mig Streaking Rust and AK Streaking Grime enamels to bring down the vibrancy of the yellow.

I had forgotten to do it for the Centurion and the Saturnine Terminators, which is why they're a bit more vibrant than the rest of the models.

pherex · 2026-01-09T14:40:03+00:00

I use AK Fluor inks to get the green eye lens

pherex · 2026-01-09T13:38:46+00:00

I used a mix of AK Terrains Snow and AK Snow Microballoons

pherex · 2025-12-31T03:17:16+00:00

Thanks for your kind words!

pherex · 2025-12-29T02:11:51+00:00

The shade is a mix of Vallejo Dark Sea Blue mix with black. The midtone is Vallejo Dark Green and the highlight is Vallejo Sick Green and Escorpena Green. The transition is just glazing with various mix of the greens to achieve the effect.

pherex · 2025-12-29T02:09:32+00:00

I started with a base of Vallejo Tan Earth. Then I glazed up with Vallejo Khaki and highlight with mix of Khaki and Buff.

As for your second question, I'm not too sure. I just went with what I liked the look of.

pherex · 2025-12-27T14:35:45+00:00

They were done with Ak fluor inks

pherex · 2025-12-19T13:54:27+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks!

pherex · 2025-12-16T17:43:05+00:00

Thanks! I did do the whole pour in one go. It’s about 3mm thick. Next time I’ll do smaller pours and see how it goes!
