beauf Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hi Guys, I've been a member of this board for longer than I can remember ( I think I even entered a design a marine banner contest many many years ago! ) And I've had various models and paints etc since I was probably 7 ( I'm 33 ). But all in all, I've spent a shed load, and done nothing. Well I've actually dug out some bits and bobs, grabbed some new paints and started to have a tinker Below is my first attempt at a model, any thoughts? changes? or tips for me? Like I said, go easy, if I get slaughtered they might go back in the cupboard for about 20 odd years Cheers! http://www.beauf.co.uk/40k/hawk.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiv Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Solid Paint Job as far as I can see, are you gonna freehand the chapter badge and tactical symbol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauf Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'm not sure on those bits yet, might have a play on a spare shoulder pad see if I'm up to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith776 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Nice purple colour, nicely done highlights. I'd say an all round pretty good job, definitely tabletop standard with a bit of work on the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Looks Good. Here is a link if you do not do free-hand .http://www.shapeways.com/model/1599634/20-28mm-shoulder-pad-custom-raven.html?li=shop-results&materialId=61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstra Sumus Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 The purple is a lovely shade. The second I saw his face, Darth Vader started talking in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspecti Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Looks good, though the shoulderpad trim could perhaps be in a brighter gold, but that's just my opinion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Kravin Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Looks good. I think the flesh looks a bit grey and unhealthy which gives it a slightly chaos-y feel but that's a niggle. Lovely purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauf Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 As for the face I initially wanted to do a Raven Guard successor chapter so found the Hawk Lords, liked the colour scheme... played on the lighter skin but the wash does make it look pretty damn unhealthy!Seems it took me so long to come to painting one they are now deemed an Ultramarine successor though lol...
