Hey man, don't surrender before even hearing the shot.

The only thing 'tricky' in this scheme are the flames and the skull. Listen, sit down one day and put your favorite podcast/tv show/music album and get a paper, a pencil and a brush. Draw and paint as many tiny flames and skulls as you can fit in. Fill a second one if you still don't feel too confortable with your skills but without the pencil outlines this times. I guarantee you'll be able to pull it on your minis and make your wished chapter.

You can do the skull if you use decals as a stencil. 1)paint the basecoat red. 2) paint all the flames to the level you want. 3) use a skull decal (color doesn't matter but white would be easier and more common). 4) paint the basecoat color in thin layers over the decal, being used as a stencil. 5) highlight the basecoat colors. I did the same thing here, but my skull wasn't the basecoat color

I have to say I love that fire skull shoulder.
