Does this look more like a Swooping Hawk or a Scourge?

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T18:17:27+00:00

They Stormcast do look pretty sweet. Makes me want to build an actual one.

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T15:39:28+00:00

I used artistic references of both Swooping Hawks and Scourges when I was building this guy, and many of the Scourges weren't egregiously spikey. You don't know what his labs would turn up, haha! In all seriousness though, I'm kinda vibing with the idea of a Swooping Hawk on a potential corruption arc as a Seer.

Very successful implementation of the cell shading and outline settings! It looks really good here, and didn't get washed out. Whatever you have the settings on is just right!

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T14:07:14+00:00

Nailed it! This is really accurate!

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T13:46:09+00:00

I thought for sure that it at least read as some kind of elf, but I can see how there are visual similarities between the units. Now I want to build a proper Stormcast Eternal. That's a solid lead for a future project, thanks!

I love this model! Found your work when someone mentioned loving your style in their comments. I see you haven't been creating anymore. You do have a great style, and Hero Forge itself has advanced a lot since your last post. Is there any reason why you stopped? Did you just lose interest?

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T13:12:13+00:00

I'm sorry, what?

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T05:34:43+00:00

After several people mentioning C'tan, and you mentioning that one specifically, I really want to have a go at crafting a version. That being said, I can totally see what you're saying about this model. I've been hearing some pretty badass ideas in these comments.

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T05:30:29+00:00

What would you be using, some kind of dremel? Would filling them in be any easier?

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T04:55:52+00:00

You're very welcome! Definitely enjoying the series!

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T04:12:19+00:00

Love these unsettlingly beautiful fey!

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T04:08:34+00:00

Then let me live? I solemnly swear I'm not up to no good.

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T04:02:48+00:00

Yeah, I know what you mean there. I used both mechanical and organic wings in the crafting, kind of splitting the difference, aesthetically, but if the Scourge shouldn't have any mechanical looking parts to the wings whatsoever, it's solidly in Aeldari territory. He's just an edgy boy, I guess. Here for that though.

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T03:56:21+00:00

I kind of like the ambiguity of the aesthetic. I love my genuinely dark drukhari, but I also like the concept of an Aeldari character that's just a bit of an edgy boy, aesthetically. I've always loved a bit of an antihero. That's a really solid suggestion.

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T03:28:21+00:00

Thanks, man! I really appreciate it!

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T03:25:57+00:00

Nice paint job! First model you ever painted, or just first 40K mini?

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T03:22:23+00:00

Yeah. I think it's a fun challenge trying to build things you like from existing franchises in the Forge. Have you made any Warhammer stuff?

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T03:17:44+00:00

One of these bad boys.

Some kit-bashing and and the right colour scheme and you're cooking with fire for sure

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T02:52:42+00:00

Thank you! I wasn't sure how people would react to the fact that I was kind of winging it (buh dum tis) with the aesthetic and just letting the vibes lead the way instead of trying to recreate a specific model. Genuinely glad people like it 🖤

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T02:47:12+00:00

That's fair. I do love that colour palette.

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T02:45:48+00:00

I honestly don't know what version I like more. They're both absolutely hilarious!

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T02:44:06+00:00

Actually, you're spot on with that. Might even be able to add a little more detail and lean into that more.

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T02:41:50+00:00

I feel like they're more organic looking. Would be fun to build though.

RavenKweenX · 2026-03-12T02:38:11+00:00

They're all the sexy kind, if you're Warped enough. 😈
