A new member and his phantom repaint...

By PhantomRich, in X-Wing

Hi I'm brand new to this forum and quite new to xwing being one of the latest crop of 40k refugees. I have always been a painter as part of my hobby and after seeing some of the awesome repaints on this forum I thought I would have a crack at one of these small scale beauties myself.

I really likes the card art for whisper so thought I would have a go at a phantom with cloaking device.

Hope you like...

Hey that looks awsome. Great job there.

Smoooooth. Looks good!!

That looks really great, I like the more subtle / thinner approach you used for the purple and blue cloak depiction.

Welcome to X-wing and the forum!

One of the major advantages of the waves of 40k defectors is that we get people with really superb painting skills. Welcome!

Okaaaaayyy...you can paint mine, too. ^_^

Really nice work.

Undoubtedly one of the most popular repaints to do.

Undoubtedly one of the most well done repaints of this type.

I like a lot the purple windshield...

Nailed it. For my money, best Phantom re-paint to date. Welcome mate :)

I second TUZ' opinion. Well done and welcome to the forum!

That's dead sexy.

Many purple space bugs died, to bring us this colored windshield...

Awesome job man-I agree the 40k background really does help with getting creative with the ships that for the lazier of us - just rely on the std paintjob (which is perfectly acceptable btw-no issues with them straight from a manufacturer)

Welcome dude - hope you enjoy the game and the community as much as the rest of us...

(Good to see you've chosen the righteous and honourable faction as well btw)

That looks awesome dude. Welcome to X-wing and the forums!

What I really love more than anything else is the purple-tinged cockpit. That really gives it a whole new feel.

Absolute best Phantom repaint I've ever seen. Fantabulous job.

I wish I had played 40k for years so I'd be a better painter. You guys make me so jealous.

Amazing! Glad you discovered one of the best games ever. And welcome!

From another 40k former hobbyist, welcome and well done!

it's just okay. . .

j/k it's awesome gj :D

Awesome detail. I really want to do my bases/flight stands up like that one day, too.

Nice paint work indeed, and welcome fellow 40k defector.

Very nice fellow 40k defector!
