Crimson Fist: Chaplain Olmos

Chaplain Olmos is a recent addition to my collection when I was able to snag one of the very cool chaplain in terminator armor models. I had an extra HQ spot open and a chaplain is a handy upgrade to my massive terminator squad. With his leading them it gives the squad a better chance to land extra damage. I have had some great results with him so far in the few battles he has fought and the model is one of GWs best terminator characters they have ever made I think....

Crimson Fist Motor Pool: Predator Battle Tank

Finally the last piece of armor recently finished for my Fist army....A Predator battle tank! One of my fave tanks in all of 40K, when I began building the army FOC I placed at least 1 Pred in the intial army force. I had a lot of fun building and painting this tank and I'm looking forward to using it in my games. I packed as much firepower into this tank to take down anything heavy that I might run into. All lascannons with a HK for extra killing power!

Crimson Fist Motor Pool: Razorback #1

As we trek thru the motor pool we come to my next new piece of armor, the multi role Razorback! This tank I put together to transport and support my Sternguard squad that I have already built. Again I have taken the FW armor add on, and as a bonus since this is going to be a special ride for my elite troops I picked up a FW Heavy Bolter turret. It gives the tank a unique profile compared to a standard twin linked heavy bolter armed tank. I also gave it the storm bolter upgrade for more Dakka!

Crimson Fist Motor Pool: Rhino #1

Let's start off the return of the blog with a little armor! In the last year I have had a chance to 3 tanks which I will feature in the coming weeks. This week I will start with the humble Rhino transport. This one was built for use with my Tac Marine squads, and has the markings to go with it. I still need to finish another hatch with a second storm bolter to use as having 2 sets of twin link bolters, but for now this will have to do. Overall this model was fun to paint but the extra armor from FW required a little bit of work to conform to the body, but that's resin for you.....

Rynnsguard HQ Back Online!

Well it's been a while since I last posted anything on my blog. This month we got a new Marine codex and with it some new additions. The Crimson Fist have gotten a few additions like Bolter Drill, and Pedro Kantor is still in the book along with all his special rules. I have gotten the bug back again to work on my CF and I am working to get some tanks and speeders done along with a few new additions to the army. I also have a new blueprint on how I want the 4th company to look, thanks to Planet Strike I have a basic blueprint of what the CF have left to work with.....



Time to get to work!

Enjoy! :)

Crimson Fist: 2nd Tactical Squad

A bit of a surprise addition to the army when I found these marines. I was looking in a storage box of marine stuff when I ran into these models. These are marines from the previous 40K starter box, the Battle for Macragge box set. A few of them I had use for test paint schemes and a few were primed, but it was a full squad with a heavy weapon and assault weapon waiting to find a home. I figured these guys won't take long to paint so I added the extra surprise tactical squad to the army. One challenge with this squad was they didn't have molded tac squad logos so I had to use the tac logos from the FW CF decal sheet and they came out perfect, similar to the first squads look.

Crimson Fist: Tactical Scout Squads

At the start of the Rynn's World Challenge I had all these old metal scouts waiting to join the ranks of the new army, and some I had already started working on years before. Since the army is a post Rynn's World invasion force scouts will play a major role in the army. So round 2 of painting brought these guys around to finish. This is 2 squads of 6 scouts each, with a rocket launcher for a heavy weapon. Basic scouts with bolt pistols and combat blades for holding objectives or infiltrating into enemy lines. The scouts were a change from the same ole same ole of painting power armor.

Crimson Fist: Terminator Squad (Part 2)

What's better then 5 terminators? How about 5 more with heavy weapons! After finishing my first 5 AoBR termies, I got to thinking that they need more firepower so I picked up regular terminator box set and got to work. The first 5 weren't that tough to paint so I didn't think these would be either. A little more of challenge and the bits allowed me to make they look a little different, I also added some chain fist to bring the pain to some tanks in close combat. I chose the Cyclone Launcher and Assault Cannon for my heavy weapons choice since this squad is mostly shooty. Well now that I have a full squad, time to find a transport

Crimson Fist: 1st Sternguard Squad

The unit that started this whole project. This was the first squad I painted up in the CF colors. The unit sat around doing nothing for a long time, after a while I did get around to building up a few of the models with weapons and gears. After a while I got busy elsewhere, now that the project is in full swing I have come back to this unit and finished it off finally. Armed with new Forgeworld bolters for a better sternguard look. They also have some modified markers to show they are different from the rank marines, two fist painted red, also infantry markers in silver instead of red, as well as different chapter insignia. I've been told that GW no longer makes these kinds of fist shoulder pads, and I have a few more, so I might add few more veterans in the future, for now 5 is enough. Enjoy the modified motion detector I put on the heavy bolter.

Crimson Fist: Captain Alessio Cortez

Captain Cortez is the leader of the Crimson Fist 4th Company. He is known as the Master of the Charge, and besides Pedro is the only other CF character with his own model. I picked this model up a long time ago when I began collecting pieces for my Crimson Fist army. While it is known to be the most notorious model ever made by GW, it's still CF history. I liked the character in Rynn's World, and like his background. So for now he is my army leader, a basic captain with a few upgrades.





Enjoy! :)
