Hi all,
With the release of Scum and Villainy around the corner, i've decided to start repainting some ships to suit! First up are a HWK-290 and Firespray. First time repainting x-wing ships, had quite a bit of fun doing it. I'll be repainting all my scum when they arrive! Think i'll need another firespray when they restock. The bounty hunter needs a partner.
Wow, those look great. I love the dark Firespray and the contrasting (yet matching) HWK. The weathering is awesome.
Way cool, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I want the group to have unique looking schemes on every ship (seeing as they're a bunch of selfish pirates and mercenaries) though still have something tying them together. Tried to to that through the colour choices and I'm glad it came through.
Wonderful job!
You sure this is you first time repainting? These ships look awesome!!
Looks like I lost the guts to actually post my version of scum firespray and hwk.
Gosh, that hwk looks amazing...
Thanks! I've actually been painting and modelling miniatures for the last 8 years but this was my first time repainting X-Wing stuff. I'm usually content with how they look out of the pack but the Scum feel like they need that extra bit of paintwork. Also please post your stuff! Its awesome seeing variety and the different ideas people have for their minis. I'm still going through all of the threads looking at the interesting things people have done.
Seems things are looking pretty good here in Australia in terms of restocks. My LGS seemed to have a big restock of Falcons and Firesprays among other things. Didn't waste anytime getting my second Mandalorian merc up and running. Fingers crossed the full Scum and Villainy release isn't too far away. Can't wait to paint up the rest of the ships.
Ships are looking great dude!
where abouts in Aus are you? We haven't seen any restocks in NQ, despite the FLGS's best attempts.
Geelong. Popcultcha.com.au is the online store for the place I buy.
Perth, WA, the guys at Tactics have good prices and have been awesome for us. Painting looks c0ol as too!
Edited by Space CadetLove the color choices here.
That color looks great on the firespray and that 3 tone paint job on your HWK looks very hotrod, is that a Foose design
Its a matched pair, so would you list the build ment for the cool paint job?
Hahaha sure the build is Torkhil Mux with Ion Cannon and two Mandalorian mercenaries with predator. Idea is to get in range of something scary and use Mux ability to shoot before it and get a couple free rerolls from predator. Ion should stop whatever it is from running away.

Tactics are good, but they definitely don't have Firesprays, more's the pity. Was in there today. My collection remains incomplete! :/

OH NO, your going to rally hate me now, Jason at Tactics sent me out a
Firespray
this week. Its the one I posted about painting (Paint Acrylic Vs Enamel).
Argh! Worse yet, I actually went in there to buy a copy of the Mountains of Madness expansion for Eldritch Horror, which they had just sold out of ten minutes before I turned up.
My Tactics-Fu is weak, it seems.

Try these guys, they have just opened up and I don't think they have on-line sales just yet but you can walk in and buy.
Go to the drop down menu Products / miniature War Gaming / page 3..........ta daah, FIRE-SPRAY......
Good to know there's not just ONE shop in town.
I'm waiting for the Tactics call for more things, hopefully when MW hits there's some more Firesprays too...
Love that Hwk though! I've been thinking I might repaint my Firespray and HWK to make them more Scum looking. Happy with other craft.
Another update! This time a Y-wing. Was playing Galactic Battlegrounds and the Light Y-wing gave me a bit of an idea for a conversion. Its technically supposed to be a lower tech version of the regular ship, but I thought it'd be great to represent a pirate's engine modded ship.
I love your designs. That Hwk is still a big fav.
Love the little R4 unit!
Big fan - keep 'em coming!
I have just highlighted my Scum ships so far with gold and rust cause anything else is out of my skill level..
Had a very long hobby hiatus but kicking off again with my X-Wing scum ships.
Had a marathon session painting up a few squads within my Scum force.
First up are these guys. Imagined them being a more tighter group of Mandalorian mercs. Closest I'll get to a uniform paint scheme
Love this little ship. Usually run a couple as support for one of a Firespray and they always do well.
