Imperial Fist is a rich, warm yellow Contrast paint named after the Imperial Fists, one of the First Founding Space Marine Chapters and the sons of Rogal Dorn. Applied over Wraithbone or Grey Seer, it produces the Chapter's distinctive yellow armour from a single coat — a deeper, more orange-shifted yellow than Bad Moon Yellow, with the Contrast formula creating automatic shading in panel gaps, armour joints, and surface detail recesses.
The paint is designed for Imperial Fists and their Successor Chapters — including Crimson Fists and Fists Exemplar — where yellow plays a primary or accent role in the scheme. A Wraithbone primer followed by a single Imperial Fist coat brings a Space Marine to a strong foundation for highlighting and detail work. Beyond Space Marines, the paint suits Stormcast Eternals armour in gold-adjacent schemes, Custodian Guard armour panels, amber gem effects, warm metallic washes, and OSL warm glow effects from lanterns and flame sources. The orange-warmth of Imperial Fist produces a slightly more aged or sun-soaked yellow than the purer Bad Moon Yellow, making it the better choice for weathered or seasoned armour aesthetics.
