| Quote (CyberShadow @ 07 2004 July,22:18) | | I seem to remember a painting article a while ago, where someone in WD was collecting a Crimson Fist force and listed a bit of background. But, all that I can remember is that the average trooper had a single fist in crimson, the the officers and higher ranks had both crimson. |
The back cover of (UK) WD 234 features Dave Taylor's Crimson Fists, which include a simple, but nice conversion of Captain Cortez (which looks better than the horrible new GW mini imo)... and as noted by CS, only the officers have two fists red- all the normal troops leave the right hand blue.
A look back at 'Eavy Metal from WD 94 (which was also when the original RTB01 marines came out) has all marines with both hands red however, and they have a red stripe down the middle of their helmets as well... guess its up to you to decide what guide you want to follow!

I think you misinterpreted me a bit there Maksim- the second bit was just my description of the 'Bloodied Fist' article, not a seperate one...
Have you managed to track down any of the WDs etc which have been mentioned?

No. I wish...
Of course, I haven't asked L-4 for xeroxes yet either...
Shalom,

Hi!
Interesting stuff. Getting into this fluff a little more since I am making the new netepic cards and there are rules for these extra chapters.

As a side note: I was looking through my FW books and found out that the second Armor book has the Rinn's World stroy about the Crimson Fists in it around an Ork Battle Wagon entry.
Shalom,

Another tidbit on the Silver Skulls: Looking through the Rogue Trader book, I noticed that the Silver Skulls appear to be headhunters, with the heads and/or skulls of enemies hanging from their armor.
