Crimson Fists are the best Chapter!

Instead of transfers you could use Imperial Fists Primaris upgrade kit where you get shoulder pads embossed with a fist that you can paint in Crimson Fists colors. More expensive but easier.

They look great! I’ve been thinking about how to do the Primaris Sternguard Veterans as Crimson Fists. I thought a marching red tabard would be too much but the colour scheme is perfect! What an inspiration! I’m going to get mine built today!

Nice walkthrough/tutorial. Simple, but veeeery effective. These are the kind of techniques I always look to incorporate and are, imo a high value for approach for new hobbyists too. Good work! Sternguard Crimson Fists... Such a good pairing too. ✊

I've just started in the hobby and am building up a small army of Crimson Fists. This video has really inspired me!

Really nice blue. I use a silver base coat and use a blue contrast over it to get a nice metallic look on mine

From all CrimsonFists painting vids out there, this is my favorite - looks just right between serious and show-off, just the way I was looking for. Never painted a model, and don't have time and guts to do it anytime soon, but if I ever was - I would try to follow this guide. For Cantor, for Dorn!!

Lovely work on the Crimson Fists! They were on the shortlist for my space marine legion too (ironically, they didn't make the cut because decals were hard to obtain) For applying transfers, I don't know if this helps with old ones, but I always use a layer of Ardcoat first (then Lahmian Medium to take off the shine) - that seems to provide the best surface.

Thanks! Crimson Fists are my faves and I'm building up a small force now!

Great job, we're on the same page for colour scheme, though I went down the sponge painting front, I like you clean style too though, good work!

I've loved seeing you develop your crimson fists! Hopefully you'll be getting them on the tabletop against a certain Wintersy SEOy person soon.
@JacquesWood952 10 months ago

I must say. Seeing how easy you made this look, I’m inspired!….to outsource it to you….really enjoyed watching the process though

Have you tried a gloss varnish on the shoulder pads before applying the transfers? You can apply a matt varnish after to get rid of the shine.
@circusskillz 10 months ago

with an extremely sharp blade cut a small diagonal line in the 4 corners of the transfer ( dont cut all the way into the middle ) this then allows the transfer to spread out naturally on the shoulder pad. Shouldnt get a massive gap but easily repaired with a paint brush if needed.

Just in the process of painting the Indomitus and Leviathan Marines as CFs 😊

I don't suppose you have a full paint list do you?
