Default Imperial Fists A few models from my 4th company

First up is my test model, getting the color right and all that, he is a converted Tyrannic War Veteran





Next is a Sgt for one of my tactical squads:




Here is an assault marine:






Here is my Assault Terminator Sgt:





Here is one of my modded Scout Bikes ( I did not know they were going to redo the models) I have always hated the tire on bikes to fat so I trimmed the whole thing down:





Here is Lysander:






And finally my Terminator Librarian:







So just a side note none of them have any decals, I am not good at them so I painted all the details. Please give my critique and advice as you see fit!

Thanks,
ImperialFist4th

Wow they look amazing in particular Lysander & the termie librarian. Great paint job and posing just one question what did you use for the checker plate on the bases? I like it looks simple effective and doesn't take away from the models like some more elaborate bases. Only model I didn't like was the scout bike, well painted though I actaully love the standard bike tyres, I think if you are racing around a battlefield covered in debri you want big fat stable tyres. At least you didn't pose him popping a wheelie that is really starting to annoy me with some peoples work yeh looks cool but why would you be doing it on a battlefield?

Every model looks superb and I especially like the biker, he looks like he's ready to chop some poor guys head off and his bike reminds me of a dirk biker, all slimmed down and ready to maneuver some tight corners, much like a scout bike should look.

I like your lit up psychic hood. Nice detail!

The Terminator Sergeant's thunder hammer looks brilliant, but why didn't you carry that effect over to the Fist of Dorn? Isn't Lysander miffed that his hammer isn't as sparkly as one of his underlings?

The bases are deck plating round bases from a company called Epicast, I had to buy almost 150 for the whole company. Ths proved to be difficult as the sources for the bases always kept a small amount on hand.

Thanks for all the replies, the reason Lysander did not get a nifty hammer design like the Sgt. was because I was unsure of how it would turn out and I went with a safer approach with Lysander.

The rest are great... but that Librarian is FANTASTIC.

My only comment would be your paint looks a little thick. Other than that, Awesome, that is one Army I would love to crush beneath my Chain Axe.

Like everyone has said, it all looks amazing.

While the Librarian is my favorite of all. The only thing is the rest of his face desn't seem to continue the glow. I would think think that part would glow most, being inside a hood and all. But still amazing...

Nearly everything about those models is fantastic, my only criticism is that the bike looks a little bit too high up for my tastes. Fantastic nonetheless! :rockon:
