MithrilForge Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 @Fr33Dom- thanks for looking mate, yeah all the new stuff from Vigilus is very cool (i borrowed the book from a mate and now i don't want to give it back ) I love thunderhawk blue as a colour so this was the perfect excuse to paint something up with it, although i gotta say i'm glad the white is limited to the Helmet,arms and backpack things that can easily be painted separately from the main body!

Axineton Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Did you use ulthuan grey for the white? Looks crisp either way buddy. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353597-wip-necropolis-hawk-for-killteam/#findComment-5248153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 undercoat was corax white spray first layer of "White"was celestra grey then i carefully washed recesses with nuln oil or agrax, then tidied up with 2 thin coats of Ulthuan grey, i'm yet to highlight with pure white, i left some tiny areas celestra for shading purposes and quickness/efficiency i'm thinking of using Lahmain medium with the Ulthuan so it's not as much a chalky white...either that or i weather it to look war torn and dirty to hide that effect cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353597-wip-necropolis-hawk-for-killteam/#findComment-5248166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewarriorhunter Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 That's looking really nice. Really clean painting. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353597-wip-necropolis-hawk-for-killteam/#findComment-5248846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
longjohnsilver Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The painting looks really clean and the base contrasts nicely. Thought I'd seen this Chapter in a White Dwarf but they were Astral Hawks not Necropolis Hawks (just checked).

Dracos Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Mithril I love your Necropolis Hawks. I wish I'd had the guts to do them myself but afraid I just couldn't do it justice. At least with the Warhawks I'm just competing against myself I have a query though. What made you decide to go with that pigmentation as opposed to the usual pasty appearance of the Raven Guard? I ask because I'm sure at some point (probably Shadowspear Reivers) I'll be forced to make a similar decision and not sure what I'll decide to do there. On one hand, I think a dark pigmentation would look better with my models, and on the other want to go ghostly to really sink in the Hawks are a RG successor Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353597-wip-necropolis-hawk-for-killteam/#findComment-5252130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 Thanks for the looks guys, @ duz- yeah I might just be my ulthuan pot, my mate doesn’t get the effect I do, maybe a new pot is due . @ Inq Dracos- thanks for the positive comments !, as to the skin tone... I’m more for rule of cool than fluff nazi so I didn’t even think of Super pale ravenguard geneseed skin colour lol, I have done it on a couple of my raptors but this scheme is so nice I wanted the skin to pop brightly, that’s the only reason for the skin tone. Hope to post more on Monday. Have a great weekend guys!

duz_ Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Oh no what happened to his arms?? Primarisification process defect? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353597-wip-necropolis-hawk-for-killteam/#findComment-5253521 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Oh no what happened to his arms?? Primarisification process defect? in the Background you can see them on paint pot tops...isn't that how Primaris Marines are made on Mars Didn't you get the Data Slate Memo about it from Cawl ?!?... His arms and backpack are White...I will always paint them separately from the torso...i don't need to accidentally brush stroke blue or black onto them,i'm slow enough as it is...having to re coat white is not on my list of efficient things to speed up my painting ... cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353597-wip-necropolis-hawk-for-killteam/#findComment-5253618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Something is better than nothing ... small update- Sarge is nearly finished,just need to do Armor highlights and whiten up the shoulders and base him ...

MithrilForge Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 thanks for looking guys, yeah the dread is on the back burner...when i finish the killteam (which will eventually be a squad for an army ) i'll do the dread proper at the moment he gets a thin coat of thunderhawk blue on his armor whenever i have some paint left over on the palette ..
