Pictures of Drazi models

[Captain Kremmen]

Hi Guys,

I painted one Drazi Sunhawk, one strikehawk and 1 storm falcon as prototypes to get the colour scheme right. I really like them, I've included a pic of them all which I think shows them at their best, plus 3 closeups, you can see all the mistakes up close, but they still don't look bad. I need to clean up the yellow/red engines a little then they should be fine. Now to paint the next 9 ships in the fleet box.

Soon to be Drazi war commander

PS Oh does anyone have any idea for NAMES for my Drazi ships. I am tempted by english names for birds of prey rather than Drazi words? Any good ides for bird of prey sounding names, I need at least 12

PPS Budgie of Death is not a bird of prey.....

Gyr Falcon?

Is that a camp bird of prey? :twisted:

Very nice Capt., golf claps.

Thanks guys,

I think I will have to name one of my sunhawks the Gyr Falcon!

Painting them was easier than basing them!!

NIce looking start-of-a-fleet hehe

i specially like the sunhawk, really nice "engines" but i noticed ther are a lot of mold lines on the minis. some of them can be tricky, but i myself like to take sometime getting rid of them, it just makes the models look better

overall i like the colorscheem of your fleet, faithful to the series yet different in some way, keep it up

nice paint job puts LBH to shame, the best thing to clean up the minis is a 1/2 round file

You are right, I am a bit lazy and don't really make the effort. All the rest of my sunhawks have big holes in their rear engines. Being lazy I was hoing to just paint them, but have no felt motivated to fill them....

Nice work, they look ready for battle to me!

Nice work. I gave up on painting the plasma 'lava lamp' (never could get it quite right) and just painted it a solid orane/red.
