Imperial Fist Captain

I did my research of course and he is the captain of 5th Company by his shoulder  plate trim.

For fun and for a friend of mine I decided to changed things up with space marines with a captain of the Imperial Fists. He always liked the fists and their successor chapters so it was just natural I picked one of them.

Rather subtle, but he does have some conversion work in the form of his thunderhammer. If I remember correctly (I did this months ago when I wasn't posting) I used the hand and handle section of a Blood Angel glaive encarmine, the arm and part of the handle of a power axe from the assault marine squad and the head and power generator section of an assault terminator hammer. Not the most clean conversion job, but painted you can't even tell so I declare it a success. The rest of him was made using the space marine captain set with the head from left over bitz I have.

The most annoying and tedious part of this was the fact he is almost entirely the two colors I hate doing the most, yellow and white. White I already know the frustration with it from the white possessed marines and my Sable Swords, but yellow I was rather worried about since I never did it before. Looking up a method online to get a good yellow I went with one that including a layer or two of Iylanden Darksun (sorry for my misspelling of the name if so) washed in Oygren Flesh followed by a layer of more Darksun on select areas to create a sort of shading. Lastly I highlighted in Bleached Bone.

As for the Imperial Fist emblem, I tried the water transfer sheets, but as always they are highly tedious and half of the time they came out lopsided or with bumps so I resorted to free handing. Making sure I captured all the major parts of the emblem, I came out with a successful chapter symbol.
