Firehawk

Recommended Posts

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??

Nice work I like the flame patterns on him. And that's a nice yellow.

 

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

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? :P

 

Be cool to see a whole army

 

Thats the plan. 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
