Imperial Fist Marines (WIP)

So after much thinking, I finally start to paint an Imperial Fist army. I'm being suck dry by the ''overlord'' layers of yellow I need to apply on a single model. But ultimately, I hope the army stands out on TT.
I manage to finish the sergeant (haven't done the banner yet) I like his two-face sort of like a Tyranid ripped one part of his face.

I can only wish You to keep such standard on whole army

I love it - striking color scheme. If you manage to paint whole army like this, it will look wonderful on a table. This is not a standard table-top quality IMO.
About the yellow - looks completely different (and better!) than usual yellow tone on models. This is perhaps you're not using the white primer for painting yellow, as everyone does
I really like red&white checkers pattern. It fits well with other parts of models, and will surely help to build unique feel of your army.

Right, do we have some more hard-core painters here?
OK, just to be more precise:
About the yellow - looks completely different (and better!) than usual yellow tone on models. This is perhaps you're not using the white primer for painting yellow, as almost everyone - beside you, Demi and perhaps few more crazy guys - does.

Thanks CofC Cyber-zombie,
uhh... although I would love to aquire a Vallejo paints but they don't sell in my country. I use Citadel Colour Ultramarines Blue + Skull White with each layer brighter than the previous one.
Yeah I.. never used White Primer before...

But I see black undercoat get's a nice sort of thick darker yellow.

A little country in Southeast Asia called Malaysia.
Here even Citadel Colors are rare. The most common paints here are Tamiya Acrylic Paints. They're everywhere and requires thinner, which is good for drybrushing.
Whoops forgot about this:

Uh.. I 'm not a familiar TT guy still learning to play actually.

But I'm planning to check out the latest GW Space Marine Commander/Command Squad/Terminators/ and Honor Guards.
