Crimson Fists - Power Armour

 I finally got around to re-doing my Crimson Fist army. I sold off the entire lot a year or two ago, but rebought into it but just the Primaris Marines stuff. I'm just doing Kill Teams right now for 40k.

Here is a tutorial I did on how I did my Crimson Fist armour.

Primaris Intercessor vs. My Very First Model Part 2

 Well, I power through this model tonight.

I'm mostly pleased about how it turned out. The colour choices I made in 2001 are just wack though!

I still need to matte finish the model... especially that red section on the back, but I think the idea comes across.

Primaris Intercessor vs. My Very First Model Part 1

 I started playing miniature wargames with Warhammer 40,000 back in 2001. I came across my first ever model last month (I'm so glad/surprised I kept it).

Someone online suggested that I paint up a new model at my current painting skills. Challenge accepted!

I'm using CK Studio's airbrush method... I realised two firsts though:

1. First time painting an intercessor (wow!)
2. First time painting yellow.

There was a learning curve and I had to start over once.

It was looking really ugly and then I started the filter phase... I might have overdone it. However, I'm not doing Golden Demon here and I'll just keep trucking. It still will look better than back then!

And are we too washed out now?

Introduction

Hey to those reading this....

So, at somewhat of an invitation to a Facebook group, I have started this blog to chronicle my progress with airbrushing. I recently completed CK Studios' 101 class, and I have learned a lot! Time to put it to use.

A bit about myself:
- I'm an elementary teacher from BC, Canada
- I've been playing 40k since 2001 (3rd ed)
- I play Eldar, Necrons, Crimson Fists (Space Marines), Orks, collecting some Dark Angels, want to start Ashen Claws
- I also play X-Wing, and I'm trying to get into Blood/Blitz Bowl, Star Wars Legion, Blackstone Fortress
- I have young kids, so I don't get to play much at all and my painting is limited to late nights

I'm attaching some progress photos from the 101 course.

Later,
Lane
