I want to start with the fruits of my hobby labour over the last eight months. In late-fall I began to feel the familiar itch to start a new project and went looking for a fun technique to employ for inspiration. I settled on a Primaris-only Imperial Fists army for a few reasons:
- Lends itself to a small-scale army with few figures
- A simple but excellent recipe for vibrant yellow (link here)
- The Primaris figures are lovely
The yellow recipe comes from Chapter Master Valrak, the internet's greatest Imperial Fist proponent. I substituted his use of Lamenter's Yellow as a glaze (now out of production) with a mix of vallejo yellow ink and vallejo glaze medium. Worked a charm!
I cut my teeth on an initial ten marines and a captain in gravis armor in the fall of last year. Once Covid-19 hit I had a lot more time on my hands so I threw myself back into the army and churned out a unit of aggressors, a repulsor executioner, and a librarian. Here's what we've got so far:
 |
| Group shot without librarian |
 |
| Aggressors unit. |
 |
| Repulsor Executioner with liberal oil wash for weathering. |
 |
| Repulsor bum. |
 |
| Primaris Librarian, probably my best painted figure yet. |
 |
| The cloak is done with multiple shading glazes and vallejo weathering pigment for the dark staining. |
The remaining minis on the painting block for this army include:
- Primaris Lieutenant
- Five man intercessor squad
- Tor Garadon
Once these are done i'll have a 1000 point battleline force to play around with. Tor Garadon is going to replace the gravis captain, whose paintjob I don't love. I'll make a new post for the army in all it's glory once it's complete.
Many many thanks to any returning readers, and I look forward to once again contributing to this blog. I hope you are keeping well and staying safe!
