30K: Imperial Fist Lightnings

[mega_marines]

I realized I don't post anywhere near enough anymore and usually just do stuff from my phone, but every once in a while I should pop in to show what I've been working on. 

Since I'm currently stuck at home for the next few weeks due to state lockdown and self-isolation, I figured I'd finish up some Lightnings to use with my Imperial Fists in 30k! I've painted them decently neutral so they can be used in any of my other imperial forces. 

Calling them done for now, however. Tried my hand at blistering the paint on one of them for a close call look; hopefully it looks alright. Not bad for rescued eBay models!

Those Lightnings look great. I like how you've been restrained with the yellow on the wings. It links them to the Imperial Fist force without them just being all yellow. I like that for the same reason I'm not keen on seeing Imperial Knights painted in Chapter/Legion colours. The weathering on the wings is a nice touch as well.

Great job on the Lightnings!

Great painting too!

Thanks for the kind words!

Great colour scheme and awesome looking aircraft, well done on the close call too! what did you use - paint stripper?

Great use of yellow as a spot stripe colour and the weathering just adds that extra "oomph". :tu:
