How I Paint My Crimson Fists Space Marines

How I Paint Crimson Fist Space Marines

I have never been a fan of mixing colors to get just that right and crisp tone, I just work my way up from a clean basecoat with drybrushing my highlighting colors until im satisfied. Although there are some steps in between that are crucial to have the right depth of the colors and especially on the armor.

Preparation
1 - Clean and assemble models.

2 - Drill holes and apply magnets where suitable.
3 - Glue sand to the tops of the bases.
4 - Spray with Games Workshop Chaos Black Primer.

Blue (armour)
1 - Start with a basecoat of Necron Abyss.
2 - Then liberally highlight with Vallejo Ultramarine Blue. No worries to overdo the drybrushing at this stage.
3 - Wash the entire model with Leviathan purple and let it dry for some hours

4 - Wash the enitre model with Badab black and again, let it dry for some hours
5 - Drybrush gently with Ultramarine Blue until you have achieved the right feel and highlighted edges

Crimson (hands, purity seals, lenses, squad/chapter markings)
1 - Start with a basecoat of Mechrite Red.

2 - Wash with Devlan Mud.
3 - Drybrush with the smallest brush with Blood Red.

Purity Seals (parchment)
1 - Basecoat with Vallejo Ivory.
2 - Wash with Delvan Mud.

3 - Highlight with Ivory again

Metal (weapons, chest eagle, decorative elements, trimings)
1 - Basecoat with Boltgun Metal.
2 - Wash with Badab Black.
3 - Lightly Drybrush blades with Boltgun Metal.

These recipes I found while trying to find out the best way to color my Crimson Fists.

I will update this post with pictures of every step as i go along...
