C3nturius Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Ive recently come back in to the hobby after a 17 year absence. I browsed through the lexicanum to find a chapter that I liked the look of and decided on the firehawks. I have painted a few models for practice and then decided to paint this commander, could I have your thoughts please?? http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7037/6961405697_621cb4c8b7_s.jpg Only thing is Im new to this site as well so not really sure how to get a good quality large image displayed either!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/75930299@N08/...in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/75930299@N08/...in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/75930299@N08/...in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/75930299@N08/...in/photostream/ all I could do was post links to the images!!

The Colossus Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Ah that commander looks awesome. Nice flame pattern, i cant paint flames worth a damn. I note you're going old school with the scheme, not the newer FW scheme. Gonna include any legion of the damned? :lol: Be cool to see a whole army Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248557-firehawk/#findComment-3009627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Nice work I like the flame patterns on him. And that's a nice yellow. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248557-firehawk/#findComment-3009636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yellow marines are always a striking view!! I Would change the gold on the backpack to silver, though. Yellow + gold its a bit too much methinks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248557-firehawk/#findComment-3010106 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers dude, its taken me a few minis to find a yellow that I really liked. Im not keen on the new FW colouration as Im not too keen on orange. I tried using sunburst yellow but its too bright, I tried using golden yellow but thought it was too orangey, so made my own with a bit of trial and error which is an approximate 70-30 mix of sunburst yellow and iyanden darksun Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248557-firehawk/#findComment-3010534 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have managed to get a few LOTD minis and I have a few in paint so I could practice painting black, which I find is worse than yellow. You get good coverance with the paint but its a bitch to highlight. I'll post up some more pics once Ive completed some more minis. Got a few conversions planned too so I'll post those up as WIP's!! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248557-firehawk/#findComment-3010536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
