Every Fyreslayers kit and box, priced
Prices compared across the shops that stock them — boxes ranked by cost per model.
Fyreslayers are fire-worshipping duardin - bare-chested berserkers with towering orange mohawks and bronze war-gear. Lots of skin and hair, little armour, and a warm fiery palette make them a distinctive and quick army to paint.
The signature look
Bright orange flaming crests and beards, warm bronze and gold war-plate, tanned bare skin, and ember or lava glows. The whole army runs hot - oranges, golds and reds - which makes it pop on the table.
Painting hair and skin
- Fiery crests/beards - basecoat orange (or a yellow-to-orange blend), shade the roots with red, and highlight the tips toward yellow for a flame effect. An orange contrast over a light undercoat is the fast version.
- Skin - a warm tan flesh, shaded with a brown or red wash and highlighted up; keep it healthy and sun-baked.
Bronze and ember effects
- Bronze/gold war-plate - basecoat, brown wash, edge highlight; the warm metal suits the fire theme.
- Lava and embers - on bases and weapons, blend black rock up through deep red to bright orange and yellow cracks for a glowing magma effect.
Tips and common mistakes
- Blend the crests. A red-root to yellow-tip gradient sells the flaming hair.
- Keep it warm. Oranges, bronzes and tans - avoid cool colours that fight the fire theme.
- Lava bases. A glowing magma base ties the fiery army together.
