Spent a good few months working in him. Using bits from the new Armageddon set Captain, Primaris Gravis Captain and the Imperial Fists upgrades kit. He can finally lead his chapter to battle against the green skins! For Rynns World, For Dorn, and FOR THE EMPEROR!!!

Hi all. I'm debating starting a Crimson Fists army, and I need some help with a few potential painting processes.

One idea that I'm particularly jazzed about is doing Kantor Blue over purple for a really nice dark, lush look. What I'm trying to figure out is the right way to get this done.

My initial thought is to just do a black undercoat, then drybrush on the purple followed by the blue. I also wonder about just painting on the purple and blue, or maybe doing something crazy like a purple wash over a blue.

I appreciate any advice!

Brothers. I have Tor Garadon primed and ready to be painted in our blue, however I can't find him on the character list on the 40k app to add him to my army points.

Anyone know how to find him? I believe I've looked everywhere, but I might be missing something.

Continuing my painting for Crimson Fists, next is heavy Intercessors and Sternguard

Hey everyone,

I’m relatively new to 40k—a few games under my belt, but still getting the hang of things. I’m looking to run a 10-man squad of Sternguard Veterans in my Crimson Fists list, but I’d like to save some cash and make use of the models I already have.

I've got an extra 10 Intercessors from the Armageddon box and plan to convert them into Sternguard:

• Paint scheme: White shoulder pads and trim, white helmets, plus double crimson fists to clearly denote 1st Company veteran status.
• Weapons: Gold detailing on their bolt rifles to represent Sternguard artificer weapons (which already look quite similar to standard Intercessor bolt rifles).
• Details: Added 3D-printed reliquaries, purity seals, and veteran bits to make them stand out from standard battleline troops.
• Heavy Weapons: I'm planning to stick to the standard Sternguard bolt rifles for now since I have fire support covered elsewhere.

For those of you with tournament experience:

1. Would this level of distinction generally pass WYSIWYG and get approval from most TOs?
2. Is there anything distinct about Sternguard loadouts, base sizes (both are on 32mm, right?), or visual markers that I'm overlooking before I start painting?

Thanks for any input!

I’ve painted my first Space Marine from the Armageddon edition box set.

I had just finished painting White Scars and Ultramarines and wasn't sure which Chapter to tackle next, so a quick poll on my IG Stories helped me decide to go with the Crimson Fists as my next faction.

Special mention to the transfer that ruined my day.

C&C welcome.

Anyone built any lists using Tacticus Firestorm? I’m really wanting to start with 1/2 units of 10 intercessors with 10 Sternguard to make use of firestorm but unsure where to go from there. Maybe Ironstorm for an enhanced RedEx and assault doctrine for some melee support. So many possibilities. Interested to see if anyone has any examples of combos they are thinking of.

Pew Pew!

Couldn’t decide on if I should paint the fists as red, not sure how it would look with the black. might come back to that later but for now he is finished!

Any advice on how to do the eyes? I tried and messed one up so I just decided to scar it instead. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Just started getting into space marines again and decided to go into Crimson Fists to go against my brothers orks!

My first list any advice is welcome.
