Anyone else play Imp Fists?
« on: August 4, 2002, 10:18:58 PM »
I started an Imperial Fists army last year because I was sick of all the people who play U-marines. Nobody (around here anyway) seems to have any sense of fun or adventure. So I started my banana marines and I've got a good start on them. I should be able to play in a tourny with a little more painting and some more models.

Anyone else play IF's? Or what do you think about them if you don't play em?

I do. I chose them because there weren't any others around here playing them, plus I like the Yellow/Red color scheme -- they really stand out on the battlefield.

I've got some pics of my guys up here: http://www.eldersign.org/40K/index.html under the Imperial Fist link. Do you have a gallery of your army?

Sadly I haven't got any models totally done AND I don't have a digicam or a scanner at my disposal. (yeah, I'm in the dark ages out here)

That army looks awesome! Most of that stuff looks propainted! Only one thing... aren't IF tanks commonly black?

Not that I've ever seen. Where've you seen black IF armor? Perhaps those splitter Black Templars?

I don't recall which number WD it was but it was when the Crusader came out I think. They have an all-black paintjob with a yellow circle enclosing a yellow "Imperial Fist," like their chapter symbol, only yellow. There may be pics in the new rhino WD too, I don't know.

I like the idea better (I can just primer the tank black instead of painting endless coats of that thin yellow paint on it), it's just a reverse color scheme if it isn't the norm- instead of yellow with black fist, black with yellow fist.  :-\

I don't have that WD issue (248), but I do know that C:SM has pictures of yellow IF armor (Predator, etc).  Seeing how the Crusader is primarily a Black Templar vehicle, I'll bet they just felt guilty bailing out on us so many years ago and put our Chapter Symbol on their tanks as penance  ;D

Heh, heh, that's it I'm sure.  ;)

Or maybe certain tanks have a yellow scheme (the pred) and others have the black scheme (LR's). Who knows, as long as it's got a big fist on it I guess.  :P
