Newly finished fire prism, finally got some good light for photos. Its not quite the colour scheme for the whole army, which will likely reverse the one shown with hawk turquiose being the main colour, dark and light grey or bone/cream as the lighter colour.













More photos are in the Gallery. Comments, thoughts, criticism and suggestions are always welcome!

Very nice swirl pattern! I like the color choices, it somehow manages to make a dark model bright without being garish.

I also like the way you did the crystal better than the clear plasic.

You, uh, forgot to paint the back of it...

Otherwise, it's awesome.

Really awesome Free hand! Great model and great work! Keep it up mate!

He got some Gem's on the back, I think the hold is meant to be like a white underbelly.

I like it

magnificent freehand work!

Love the pattern, but me being me, there's something else I love even more. I've completely missed the point, but I love that transition of colour on the engine.

Love how nice the white looks also.

Great paint job.

Thanks for the positive comments so far, the underside is actually fortress grey, with a touch of minimal highlighting, but I tried not to do too much to distract from the top. As for the engines, I'm really pleased you noticed- it was the only area I wanted to do any wear and tear on, especially to take the shine off the gold. Technique was taken from the painted gk land raider variant on the fw website.

That's really awesome. I really like the way you painted the engines, well done.

Oh wow, that's really good! I really like it! I've got no criticism, it's a really solid and well done paintjob

Great colors well painted and fantastic patterns!!

Great blues and contrast, this prism of doom is a winner for sure.

Excellent work.

I really like the freehand, the pilot and the prism itself. Most though, is the burnt metal on the engine exaust, they look almost super heated. If you don't mind, what did you use for making the burnt metals?

*Drools in envy
THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!

Wow well done it looks great! loving the blue!

I love it, the swirls are great.

For the metal I basecoated scorched earth brown, 2 layers of thinned gold then an ogryn flesh wash liberally applied. After that I dry brushed some more scorched brown, followed by a 50:50 mix of chaos black and adeptus battle grey, leaving some brown showing. Finally a light dry brush with space wolves grey on the dark grey areas to portray the residue. Hope that helps! Thanks again for all the compliments- it definitely spurs me on to better things!
