Prince of Blissful Discord Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I'm considering doing a Fire Hawks army based on the IA9 colour scheme. However, I'm a bit stuck on which colours to use. I was thinking Merchrite Red for the red, and Iyanden Darksun for the yellow. What does everyone think? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall_Brant Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 That could work. But it seems like it would be a little flat. Here's what I came up with. My suggestion for the yellow: Iyanden Darksun base Wash of Devlan mud Reapply Darksun, keep away from recesses, rivets, and so on Highlight with Bubonic Brown Extreme highlight of Bleached bone if wanted. Red: Merchrite red base Wash with Badab Black Reapply Merc red, keep away from recesses, rivets, and so on Highlight with red gore Extreme highlight of blood red if wanted. hope that helps.

Olis Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I was going to advise something a little different (the yellow being highlighted up to white through bleached bone and other yellows) but Brant's idea sounds good to me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Blissful Discord Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thanks for the replys both of you, your probally right in that it would be abit flat, but I was planning on weathering them so i didn't consider it a concern. However, two of you have said the same thing I will apply highlights and the like. Many thanks, Prince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall_Brant Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I was going off this pic ( http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/File:Firehawksmarine.jpg ) while coming up with the color system. Amendment: If bleached bone is too bright golden yellow/sunburst yellow might work in it's stead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retribution2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I was considering Fire Hawks for a Badab War campaign, but when I was trying out colours, red didn't spring to mind. I more went with a sort of burnt brownish orange to go with Iyanden Darksun. Just felt it was more inline with the IA9 pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
