Previously on Plus One. There's no serious warhammer YouTube that seems to want to touch it and also the Three at one and six with the one who are the only minutes not to share a code then we're asking what Warhammer Duncan does in his assembly videos which are put a link to him to keep 28 mil heroic scale marines and then if you've gone the site for the English instructions to be a paro symbol you may already recognize as the symbol for all you can put it aside but when these were first released in 2017 in Japan they didn't go straight for the new primaries and now the conclusion I've put together and finished painting up these blind box space marines eventually when I got around to it ultramarines nope uh not on my watch I've done them all as crimson fists original and the best here are the eight unique scopes I got if you remember from the previous episode only the captain was missing so we've got savastas here with his chain sword and plasma pistol I thought I'd make a bit more sense for the sergeant to keep hold of his equipment rather than running around the Imperium without all of his gear so I took the optional helmeted head cut the peg off the bottom and attached it to the side of his thigh castor the generic trooper doing a glamour shot with his boulder this one's going the running man vanyal lobbing a grenade uh garrosc who's just finished posing for dual wielding monthly there's promethor who has the plasma gun and also an artificial arm as it turns out when I'll go around painting him um tightest the lazy clip trooper and last but not least remus the heavy gunner with his op missile launcher who's definitely not just the sculpt from the devastator squad I should probably rename them all so they sound a bit more like crimson fists rather than greco roman inspired ultras but never mind you may have also noticed that these minis aren't exactly stuck anymore I've always hated putting on transfers so I use these guys as a great excuse to try out some of those 3d printed squad markings you can get from shapeways I got some tactical arrow symbols some of these auto zenos type badges which fit in really well with crimson fists and the iconic fist symbol for their left shoulder the great thing about 3d printing is all of these pieces were already curved to fit perfectly onto the shoulder pads the fist one doesn't quite sit as tightly on the shoulders I thought they would from certain angles at least I did have to cut back a few of the tactical symbols with the hobby knife so they'd fit like on the missile launcher guy where his arms slightly covered I also added a skull onto the sergeant's one but that was about it I gave them all a pretty simple paint job mostly base coat with wash over I can always go back over and et holla the armour later but I'm pretty happy with these I put maxiola over them and in a couple of places like the lenses I've gone over with a little bit of gloss to give the glass bits a bit more shine the other thing I wanted to try out with these minis are these pilot super fine metallic permanent ink pens yeah we've got a gold one and a silver you push the nib down a few times to get the ink flowing and then just color straight on they work pretty well for the gold especially for some of the imperial eagles on the bases like this one the coverage was instant and was super shiny with normal gold paint usually after undercoat with something like brown and then do a couple of layers this was one coat done the thing is well it smells a bit odd so I'm guessing it's that sort of alcohol based and it went on no problem but it didn't like it when I tried painting over it the big flat areas on the bases are okay the metal gratings only needed a couple of coats of black wash but I also did most of the guns with the silver and that's when it went a bit wrong any paint I put over it just beaded up and ran off I must have put three or four coats over in some places and that was primer and black which both tend to wipe out paint pretty easily they are much finer than a sharpie but also much more prone to sort of gouging out blobs of ink so I had to keep using a tissue to absorb the first bit before then coloring over the model you can't get the ink off once it's dry dye though without messing everything else up and it takes maybe two seconds to dry so good luck mopping it up if you put it over the wrong bit by accident I managed to darken things up eventually washes did seem to work better than paint because it could sort of pull and dry over the top of it and the matte varnish did take off the brunt and most of the shine where I needed it to but I lost a lot of depth and detail doing it at least it only really messed up the weapons and they all look consistent as a group these pens did work out well for the missile shell and the end of the plasma gun so it's not all bad you may remember from the previous video that I unboxed a whole brick of twelve the other four were doubles of garus guy and titus and caster well nobody likes clone troopers in 40k so I keep bashed them with some leftovers I had lined around this is garus two beaky head swap with a combi flame and a combat knife in the other hand the left arm is completely new and I've painted him up to be a sort of second sergeant so I can mix things up for kill team or maybe make up to five man taxquats from the 12 minutes I have as I've taken off the bolt pistol I went back in and glued some plastic off cuts into the empty holster to make it look like it was still holding something is that a stern guard head probably titus two became my comms specialist the existing sculpts seem to fit perfectly for a marine looking down his or specs and the clip on the floor easily got covered over with a sucking red skull the standard backpack was also switched out to because you always need more aerials with your comms guy if you plonk it right next to the original and look carefully it's still obvious that they're the same sculpt but on the tabletop from three feet away you can always tell that this is the comms guy and this isn't guy and the running man got a ruin based from I think the assault marine kit and a new helmet with a heads up display oh and a melt a bomb because it's part of his back story I don't know I might have glued the ruin a bit too close to him though because from the side it looks more like he's just about to trip over and clamber over it the last one is castor the second he stands in as a veteran specialist for quilting I've used another beaky head but this one has the laurel wreath which is from Marines that have been on and thought valor and doing the dishes and usually veterans or some sort of heroes the first company of crimson fist is made up of entirely of veterans and they're both their fist painted red so I did that and there we go I tilt it the head differently from the regular castor to so it looks more like he's looking in the same direction as his bolter it's a subtle change but if I just get castor one you can see it easily helps separate the two out I've also added a bit of cork and a few extra bits to the bases to vary them up a bit from the originals and added a few extra purity seals here and there these were a lot of fun to paint advice on assembly these are push fit kits with very high tolerances between the pegs and the holes even unpainted I had to apply a lot of force to push some of them down fully so that they would join together you need to push them straight down too I tried twisting a little bit to get guy and money's foot but the peg just twisted around and snapped so push it straight on and don't sort of try and worry it because it's just going to go wrong some of them could be assembled completely and then painted but I had to paint from me thought the castors the garices and reamers without their arms on so I could get at the chest and the head's more easily if you do the same thing I'd recommend thinning their pegs or widening the holes with a knife and then cutting down the length of the pegs too before trying to assemble them otherwise you won't be able to push them together properly even if there's only a tiny amount of paint on either end or on the peg or you try and apply glue to the hole they'll fight you and you either snap the peg off or you'll get gaps and then you'll be annoyed poor guy and copped it again before I figured all that out if I get the angle just right you might be able to see his left arm isn't quite all the way in you have to tilt it can you see just about right that's you lot all my space marine heroes assembled converted and painted up as crimson fifths for episode 13 I'm very grateful for all the support and comments you've been leaving it's always really interesting to find out what everyone else gets up to with their hobby been on a bit of a mini binge lately it is after all one of my three pillars of play on the old channel banner yep that's the one but it's back to dnd in the next episode so get hyped for that how do you handle duplicates in your miniature collection do you leave them be or do you convert them if you ever try to use your markers or pens to cheat on your favorite paintbrush let me know downstairs thanks for watching take a rummage in the description box for more content on this topic and subscribe for more plus one
