How could this have been six years coming when the game was only released last year? lol, j/k
Looks good though. I'm thinking of attempting painting mine... I just need to find spare time to do so.

Well... You know... I know people at Hasbro... lol
No, it's been six years since I have painted anything, so I'm glad that I didn't forget how to paint.

I've been painting a bit, and am stuck with the firewings next on the list, so I'm glad to see these. I've been wondering how it would look if instead of them sitting on the base, elevated form it by part of the tail, if the part on the base is more of a trail of smoke and fire than just a tail of fire.

Targanth, that is an interesting take on the model! If and when you paint yours that way, please post the pictures as I would love to see them. Honestly, I was quite concerned with the details on the figures, considering that I am accustomed to warhammer 40K level of details on plastic units, but I am quite satisfied with the results! I have high hopes for all of the other units I am about to paint.

I'm not sure if you guys will need these but they helped me to finish mine.

I've been painting a bit, and am stuck with the firewings next on the list, so I'm glad to see these. I've been wondering how it would look if instead of them sitting on the base, elevated form it by part of the tail, if the part on the base is more of a trail of smoke and fire than just a tail of fire. First some comments. I got involved in Heroscape in part because the figures were all painted, and each squad figure had a unique pose. While I wish that AotP squads were all painted, I do like the fact that the armies are all color matched to the PW. So, as I've painted up my base set, I've tried to use highlighting to bring out some details while also trying to keep the  figures and such. The  and  , the translucent ones, are the last to hit the paint table as I like the translucent effect and don't want to mask it by painting over it. I have painted up one of my Firewings, just to see what I could do to give the hint of smoke rather than the tail of fire. Here is the almost finished figure next to an unpainted one - a painted figure always looks good next to an unpainted one  . Should I re-do it as a tail of fire? Or should I paint the other two using this idea?   |

Targanth, I LOVE, the smoke tail! What an awesome idea and the execution looks perfect for the figure! I honestly would have never thought of that myself. They look great and I really look forward to seeing more! Toshi Umezawa Umezawa, I must say that the colors you uses are straight out of Legend of Okami, Zelda Windwaker or Killer Seven. They look great and the drybrushing really does your figures justice. Its cool seeing a paint scheme I could have never done myself. Memnarch, I can't wait to paint the rest of my stuff, especially the customs... but unfortunately I won't be able to post them for another month. I have been moving the past few weeks and my painting supplies are boxed away!!! Thank you so much for the encouragement though.
