As part of the Slowburn League, I committed a Fire Raptor for my pledge. I actually built this model about 3 months ago but only recently started painting the model. I love the way it looks, the aggressive lines and silhouette. I just wish that the Stormravens all shared the same type of look but alas, that model looked more akin to a flying Rhino. This model however is a work of art.

| Stormraven crew will be flying my Fire Raptor |
 |
| Mechanicus! |
 |
| Some dirty mind actually pointed out to me that this looked like the pilot was "enjoying" himself |
 |
| I worked on a prototype Objective Marker. I decided to light it up as I very often had trouble finding the markers on the table |
 |
| Once the model was built, I hit it with a black primer. I completed the cockpit and masked up the plastic canopy |
 |
| First layer was VGA Scarlett Red. I kept the angle sharp to the model to retain the black shadows |
 |
| Working in the layers I added Bloody Red |
 |
| I started blocking out the black colours |
 |
| Added edge highlights to the model. This was Blood Red |
 |
| I added black lining to all the panel recesses |
 |
| I found it a little too red so went back and hit it with some Carroburg Crimson |
 |
| Added some black lining and detailing work on the ship |
 |
| At this stage major areas were all painted up. Just one last level of highlights and some weathering for atmospheric entry |
 |
| Some weathering on the wings and edges and this model is done |
 |
| Dog FIGHT! |
