I've been painting 40k minis for a few years now, but this was my first X-Wing repaint. After a lot of deliberation, I finally came down to a list I wanted to play for WarGamesCon tomorrow, including Kavil.
So I says to myself, "Self, you need a custom Y-Wing for your Kavil list." And I answers myself, "But what do I do? Stripes and unit markings have no place on the ship of a mercenary!" And so onto the internet I went, and painted this Y-Wing based off of a similar pattern from the Star Wars Galaxies paint schemes. I thought it was thematically appropriate for the ace pilot of my list.
Still gotta do some cleanup on him, and going to think about some scorch markings, but for now I I'm happy with how it turned out.
