ron Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 A Hawk Lord I did for someone to show them the process of painting purple. Can be used for other chapters like Soul Drinkers as well. Here's my blog with the step by step for painting the armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJB Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Fantastic work as always Ron I really like the base and weathering on the legs, was it easy enough to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Very easy The trick is getting a good basecoat on the model to work over, but the "weathering" is done with powders and is very simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogan Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hm. Looks nice so far; I especially like the weathering. Thanks for the tutorial! There are, however, a few things I dislike. The fig doesn't look finished yet, mainly due to the overall lack of depth. A little highlighting would do wonders and catapult it to the realm of "top notch". Also, some more depth (darklining) could improve the Hawk Lord beyond limits. By the way - painting Hawk Lords is awesome. Not only because those guys are hardcore (using the former colour scheme of *the* traitor legion AND heraldry resembling theirs), but also because purple is a rare colour (which looks ace if done well).

AngryJohnny Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Nice job Ron. I really like the weathering & the base. Would you happen to have a tutorial on how you accomplished this? I think it would look really nice w/my own army. The purple is really good & I like the overall all look of the model. Are you going to do more Hawk Lords or was this a test/how to mini?

ron Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Rogan: Points well taken. Something I can work on with my next model. AngryJohnny: This was just a test model to show someone else one method they could use to paint Hawk Lords. I won't be starting an army of these guys myself since I have a Deathwing force to work on. As for the base, it's crazy easy to do. It's given a quick coat of GE Charadon Granite and then once dry, it's a matter of applying a few weathering powders over it. I used a couple different shades of brown/red colors to get the effect. You literally just dab it on there and then blow off the excess. Truth be told, it's still something I'm working on doing myself. I know people who use powders for basing almost exclusively, but I'm still learning how to. Right now, I add them into the base for effect after painting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
