Ok guys, here's the next installment of the Space Marine Chronicles! It was time to finally face the Crimson Fists. I tried to be as unbiased as possible when telling you the lore about this loyalist(?) chapter, but you might be able to tell how I really feel! Please feel free to defend them below, or maybe you're more on my side? These are a very cool looking chapter though, and you can see how easy it would be to gather a force together very quickly!
Drop more requests for chapters below!
Basing scheme:
AK Terrain Texture paste in Firelands-perfect dupe for Martian Ironcrust but a lot cheaper!
Allow each stage to fully dry in between!
Gryph-Hound Orange (contrast)
Ryza Rust (dry)
Screaming Skull (layer) Light drybrush over the top!
Paint list!
Primers:
Chaos Black (full coat)
Grey Seer (lighter coat)
Leviathan Blue (contrast)
Flesh Tearers Red (contrast)
Black Templars (contrast)
Leadbelcher (base)
Nuln Oil (shade)
Kantor Blue (base)
Mephiston Red (air)
Evil Sunz Scarlet (air)
Corvus Black (base)
Leadbelcher (base) and again for weathering

@mirage809 Месяц назад

Gotta love the Crimson Fists. They're the original marines, back in the days of Rogue Trader these were the posterboys. They're also a great way to paint sons of Dorn without dealing with yellow or declaring a crusade every 30 minutes.

@madmerlinsart Месяц назад

I've loved the Crimson Fists ever since my first issue of White Dwarf, which I did a review of on my channel for my 15th Hobby-versary, and it's grown ever since. I must admit I think the Crimson Fists were better under the direct control of THE Crimson Fist, Alexis Pollux. Captain of the 405th company of the Imperial Fists and a master of void warfare. I've even painted his heresy model in Crimson Fists' colours and used to field him as a Chapter Master with Stormshield, Power Fist, and Combi-Melta. My love for them will never die, no matter how cool other chapters may be.

@MediocreHobbies 9 дней назад

That’s fair.

@gkiyo Месяц назад

Working for the inquisition is definitely shameful, but from my reading of the heresy books, Dorn would be much more appalled by the whole chapter who _forgot that the emperor wasn't a god and all worship him_ 😉 Black Templars do look sick, though, I have to admit. Thanks for the video, this is a great scheme. Love how that blue came out.

@mikeisernie Месяц назад

Yeah, I'd go with the Crimson Fists just being good sons of Dorn and following orders rather than being lackeys to the Inquisition (that's the Minotaurs and the....Red Talons?). Also, aren't the CF secularists...unlike the heretical Black Templars.

@williamamely7038 29 дней назад

Thanks for sharing. There are quite a number SM chapters with interesting back stories. Others, weird as well. I don't like the paint scheme for the Crimson Fist, but I do like the Soul Drinkers' scheme.

@cillamccarthy6987 29 дней назад

I may stand corrected but its normally just one red fist on the right side as you look at the nodel, left fist of the model itself. But as you've done both fists he would indeed be a vet, squad leader most likely. I forget the tale now but the red fist i think is meant to represent blood of someone that they wash their hands in once they become full battle brothers. Crinson fists hold a special place in my hibby journey as they were the very first image i saw of the 40k universe. When i got rouge trader at a boot sale for £3 as a 8/9 year old. It captivated me and ive been hooked on the hobby ever since...

Heresy! The Inquisition will be coming for you! The Crimson Fists were on the original Rogue Trader cover, they were THE original space marine chapter. They deserve respect for making 40k what it is today. I also happen to have an army of them and have been playing 40k since Rogue Trader, so they hold a special place in my heart.

My only arguments are Pedro Cantor is awsome, he made sure a mother and her children got to safety. Also the greatest tank ever whose machine spirit woke up and began destroying orks until it was destroyed but Pedro managed to recover it and had it rebuilt. That and the Inquisition hates anyone who looks in their general direction of the galaxy lol Great video as always Andy, maybe the Mantis Warriors can make an appearance when you're able

@timothyharnedy4495 28 дней назад

I love the Crimson Fists. The dark blue is a very appealing colour with the red as contrast, and the stubborn determination to keep fighting against overwhelming odds is a story trope that does it for me every time. As a teenager my space marine army were Blood Angels, but I painted up a single tactical marine - one of the 2nd edition starter set statue marines - as a Crimson Fist and gave it to a step-nephew as a Christmas present one year, which sparked years of gaming and painting interest for him. One of the projects I have in the back of my mind to pursue is a Crimson Fists army, probably mainly with Horus Heresy miniatures. But we'll see. I'm enjoying Orks mostly at the moment.

@tremolo_painter Месяц назад

My first Space Marine love. Superb colour scheme, excellent for a beginner. Pedro Kantor is a boss! And then I read Rynn's world. I just couldn't look at them the same way. The proud sons of Dorn, defeated by themselves :( So I went traitor, and started on Dark Angels ;) Love your paint job here, and really enjoy your calm and funny delivery

@GordonStraker 13 дней назад

I read in a very old white dwarf that when the orks managed to surround some of the surviving fist's they were aided by a ghost army of space marines, The legion of the damned and because of that aid they were able to clear out the orks that trapped them in a culvert.

@crisisgear 29 дней назад

My favourite chapter is still the Marines Malevolent (loyalists but utter bastards, one of their captains killed a sister of battle for missing a chord or two in the emperors hymn). Just always found information there is on them very fun and different, kind of like a vague mirror of corruption of the imperium of man and the Emperor's original wishes for mankind (and no not corruption like chaos). Do like their armour colours as well, black with sandy yellow parts.

@katfezza4570 Месяц назад

Never considered doing Crimson Fists before, but that simple paint scheme is making me consider it. I don't know if that counts as success or fail on your part. Regarding transfers you can order transfer sheets (for inkjet or laser printer) and print your own decals. The only downside is most printers can't print white. Just paint some white behind the area you want to apply the transfer.

@colinplatt1963 Месяц назад

Great video and painting as always! But yeah, honestly, I'd never thought too much about some of the inconsistencies in the background of the Crimson Fists. Interesting, so, incompetent AND treacherous... they were never on my 'need to paint these' list, but are now on my 'never need to paint this' list 🤣

The Chapter that always survives no matter the odds, respected by all including Girly man, the Inquistion and the Eldar and seen as important. More human and compassionate to those weaker than them, almost on a level with Salamanders and Lamenters. Disciplined and cool paint scheme, the ORIGINAL poster boys of the Space Marines, without them on the cover Rogue Trader might not have hit with such a bang and 40k (and therefore GW) may not be such a thing! Poster boys of 3rd edition codex too till the Dark times, when Ultramarines somehow became the poster boys instead (look mum I'm blue, it's even in my name and I'm super good at organising, I'm so exciting)!

@ericred5305 29 дней назад

Just goes to show you how fashion affects even Warhammer. A few years ago, the Crimson Fists were really popular, and then they vanished like they were hit with a bomb...the Imperial Fists were nowhere to be seen for years, mainly because painting Yellow was a pain, and now they are everywhere...I used to have to freehand the insignia onto my lovely Raptors, and now they are the flavour of the month, even with a decal...I wonder if the Crimson Fists will make a reassurance...

@evanfish4505 Месяц назад

Crimson fists player here While many theories have been posited regarding the destruction of the Arx Tyranus, most fans believe that it was simply a malfunction, or WAAAGH! shenanigans As for why they're so beloved? We'll, my best guess is that that they occupy the bizarre niche between "mainstream chapters" and chapters nobody cares about, while also being easy to build and paint In a sense, it's all the advantages of building Ultramarines, with the only downside being that they're kinda boring when you compare them to chapters with more support TLDR: they're an easy army to put on the table, with great lore to read, and our fellow sons of Dorn would do well to remember that our chapter never was wiped out, nor did we butcher Custodes😂

@chasseurdedemon Месяц назад

at first, i wanted to play Imperial fist, but yellow is hard (started at 5th edition, yellow was horrible), black templar were not my type of gameplay, and i wanted to play some Dorn chapter (cause i really like Dorn) so i looked for successor chapter and found CF, i love blue and it was a truly good start for me as beginner. So be it ^^ Now i've got 2 more SM army (DA, BT) and i probably will love CF till the end ^^ But yes, sometime lore is lore XD

@euansmith3699 27 дней назад

Given your disdain for the Crimson Fists, how about making some objective markers, with Pedro's boys cowering on them, waiting to be rescued by your other Space Marines? 😄👍 I've got a soft spot for the Crimson Fists, ever since reading "Battle at the Farm" in my brand-new copy of the Rogue Trader rules book back in 1987.

@tqk1976 29 дней назад

Crimson Fists are the OG space marine chapter. Unpopular opinion: they should have been the Legion and Imperial Fists should have been the successor. They predate the Imperial Fists and its silly that the Crimson Fists have to play second fiddle to something that got retconned into existence.

Imperial Fists are the old fashioned Great Crusade forces, treasuring the values that made them Terra's Praetorians. Black Templars are the reaction to the Horus Heresy the unstinting rage that resulted from the great betrayal Crimson Fists are an aspirational chapter, not building fortresses or avenging the betrayal, but instead building a better Imperium.

@divingMOBIUS 26 дней назад

Just a word of advice, the "wiki" is a more embellished read, but it is much more unreliable than the lexicanum. Kind of two different standards there. Lexicanum tends to be much more well cited and kept to what is trackable whereas youll run across a lot of embellishment on the wiki that isnt often cited and sometimes is flat out wrong. I enjoy the wiki myself but its an important distinction. as far as the chapter, im actually on the opposite side of you, i like the imperial fists, but black templars are one of my least favorite chapters and the crimson fists i think are really neat xD (for background im a avid space wolves fan and loyal Son of Russ, so you can dismiss be as a savage :P )

If we go back to the source (cover of Rogue Trader) most of them have only the left hand. One guy at the bottom has his right hand crimsoned, but we can't see his left hand. That recent MTO of the Rogue Trader book was one of the best WH40K purchases I've made since I bought the original one back in the 80's. Which I still have, but it kind of fell apart, so it's packed away somewhere. Here's hoping they are going to do the Realms of Chaos books sometime soon.

@yellowsign Месяц назад

I do think it's really, really odd that GW deliberately choses to give a 'poster boy' Chapter this weird, ignominious background of blowing themselves up. Like, why do that? On the other hand, I do really like the resultant Chapter, who chooses to rebuild, rather than expire in glory or vengeance. Very different from most Chapter attitudes, but, to me, a distinctly Dorn-inspired attitude. Rather than picking honor, or glory, or vengeance, to pick continued resistance.
