My friend has recently started an Imperial Fists army, he`s still at the buying and building stage and i`m ashamed to say, i cannot help him much. I`m a dyed-in-the-wool Eldar player and the only thing i know about marines is that they squelch when you`re scraping them off your boot....
However.....i think a force made up of wall-to-wall yellow will look amazing on the table and that Lysander figure is one of the nicer ones around for marines IMO. Someone should do a list or two and tactica for IF`s and give us all a break from DA, BA SW and UM`s.....
I think the problem lies with the difficulty of painting yellow. You either spray everything black and then try to "bring-in" the yellow gradually using a mid or light brown or even Bleached Bone, or you go the whole hog and spray white, then coat yellow with washes of orange or brown ink for the recesses. This of course means that you`ll be blacking-out all the none-yellow bits for the rest of your life....
Teleport Assault is a good reason to play the Fists though, and is great for anyone who loves Termies...or yellow......
Also, if you are into fluff reasons, then how about the bravery of Brother-Captain Escharra from the book "Storm of Iron"? If you haven`t read this yet then you really need to....
Wuestenfux, Uzzy....anyone.....
how about a Tactica Fists then?
Happy gaming, Reborn.
