Mudslinger Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Such a nice grey.... Man, I am still anticipating the tutorial. Coming soon? oops....missed it somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 These are so awesome. Don't worry about using C:SM. Also, if the new Wolves codex comes out with no sternguards they can count as normal troops. Maybe even veterans. The only thing is that I can't properly read the tutorial, but seeing as I've never considered wolves thats okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throtwulf Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 just painted up my first wolf using the tutorial. far and away the best mini i've ever painted. thanks for the awesome tutorial, can't wait to see what else you've added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crucial Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Very interesting last post here. So combine your ideal light source with blue to find the wash. Does the same apply for metals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireLizard Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Heck, 'Wolves or no, that's a heck of a tutorial on feathering, color theory and painting period! I'm painting test figs for color schemes for the Team Tourney at Adepticon next year and used this tutorial, but I applied it to different colors. Worked AMAZING. Uuunfortunately it isn't PA, so I can't post it :) But thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DV8 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 just painted up my first wolf using the tutorial. far and away the best mini i've ever painted. thanks for the awesome tutorial, can't wait to see what else you've added I'm working on my last 8 Sternguard, a Drop Pod, and 2 Land Speeder Typhoons. I'll try and post some pictures in the next few days. Very interesting last post here. So combine your ideal light source with blue to find the wash. Does the same apply for metals? Depends on what you want the wash to do. If you just want to shade, then yes, although again artistic license can be taken if you're aiming for a certain look/effect. If you're tinting, then any color would work. Heck, 'Wolves or no, that's a heck of a tutorial on feathering, color theory and painting period!

DV8 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 SO evidently I have been distracted as of late. But no more! I have been painting furiously the past 2 weeks, and am proud to say that my 1500 point Space Wolf army is now complete: http://www.spacewithinspace.net/images/spacewolves/DSC08811.JPG That is: Wolf Lord Jormunrek Skallagrim 20 Grey Hunters 18 Sternguard 5 Assault Marines 3 Rhinos 1 Drop Pod 2 Land Speeder Typhoons I will take better close up pictures of the last 8 Sternguard, Drop Pod, and Land Speeders when I get a chance. For now, I tire. DV8 PS and I eSlap the first person that mentions the fact that Space Wolves aren't allowed Sternguard.

Khrangar Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Looks great, though the Assault Marines don't look very SW to me. I really like the weathering on the vehicles. Great job on the army. Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozris Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 at first i was like :http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m16/Gryss/1218861659671.jpg but then i was like : http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m16/Gryss/1217734324659.jpg people that nerd rage, need to realise. WE. ARE. PLAYING. WITH. PLASTIC(sometimes metal). TOY. SOLDIERS. we're 1 beer away from going "pew pew, UR DED" and making exploding sounds with our mouths.... or maybe thats just me... me and DV8 live down the street from one another, so i've had the pleasure of playing with his unSpace Wolfy force, i really dont care that its not covered in wolf pets and manly beards ... that and "ZOMG UR WEARING Mk 7 HELLO KITTY ARMOUR! THEY ARE SPACE WOLVES, THEY ONLY WEAR Mk 4 MYBEARDISHUGE ARMOUR! :cussIM TELLING MOMMY" rarely ever comes up anymore. this hobby costs all of us a buttload of money, might as well make it last. In the end, we're grown men playing with toy soldiers, so why not chill and just enjoy the company of friends? that said, im far more of a modeller/painter than a gamer, so im ALL for fluffy models with jaw-dropping conversions and eye bleeding paint jobs. but this is a tabletop force. one painted to an insane degree but a tabletop army none the less. lets put it this way, DV8s army is going to be playing against armies that look like this : http://farm1.static.flickr.com/113/291017085_eed6f7e91c.jpg suffice to say, im not too worried that its not "space wolfy" enough... btw, im sorry if that example model belongs to someone on this forum, i jus randomly googled space marine and put up the first ugly space marine i could find. haha i also laughed when i read erm... you do know you cant use sternguards or vanguards in space wolves right? clearly this guy didnt read ANYTHING at all in this thread and just posted without thinking. good job! QFT and the overall epicness of this post :) Other than that, those minis look fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akutat Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Wow, I just love your army. But I have to ask one thing. How did you that snow? I have trying to do snow bases, but everytime the snow seems to "melt". I think that my PVA Glue "sucks" flock inside it. But I will apperciate if will give advice. But keep up good work and I want more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV8 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Oh haha I had forgotten all about that post... Yea...it's funny because zeroeightfive speaks exactly like that in person, facial expressions and all. It's a riot talking to him :cuss The snow is just GW Snow Flock, glued on with GW Super Glue (use a toothpick to spread the glue around). Quick and dirty. I won't be adding anything more to the army until the new Space Wolf stuff is released in October, at which point my first few planned units are more Grey Hunters (10 to 20?), maybe Blood Claws (10), Scouts (5 to 10), and Long Fangs (5). That and I'm going to buy and paint most all the new characters that catch my fancy. DV8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dood515 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Sadly the only frase i can come up with to describe your truely amazing painting ability is to say that it's 'EAVY METAL standard at least. By the way i love the marine with the bike arm used to rest on the bolter in the strap. Also had to mention that the wolf lord you made there is one of those "I don't have to strike a pose, i look cool all the time" models, you know what i mean?

Zeller Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 They look like space wolves to me. So they have a helmet on and left the flammable pelts at home. Big deal. They look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtNACHO Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Awesome for the Awesome God! or whatever those heretics say ;) Great job, and I love the Grey that's actually grey, not baby blue. I looked at that army picture and just said "Now that's what I imagine Space Wolves would look like." Honestly Just because they have Wolf in their name and happen to have fangs doesn't mean they must wear five pounds of Wolf crap. Whatever I'm not trying to argue, just lovin' your army man! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 They're looking great to me. Especially in the army shot. I guess you might want to slow down a little and see what the dex next month will hold for you. Might be some new models involved as well. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnihs Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 *high five* DV8, your army is spectacular ill be following your post with great enthusiasm; i too will be ripping your tutorial XD sorry about that bud. now i just need to figure out how to wash the way you do >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirannha Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 DV8 love your SW stuff. It reminded me that I had traded someone several years ago for some plastic SW add on sprues. If your interested (and I can find them), you are welcome to them. If I ever get around to painting SM, not sure I will go with SW so it makes sense they go somewhere they can be put to good use. Unless you really dont want to deal with the flesh and hair. Then I can just say I cant find them. :P Pirannha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iacton Qruze Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Your stuff is beyond awesome. Love the tut, so glad you took the time to do it. I'll be taking quite a bit of it in mind when I go to rebuild my space wolves next month. Again, really fantastic work. You have an army to really be proud of.

DV8 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Just an update. I finished my Ragnar Blackmane, and thought I'd post it here. http://www.spacewithinspace.net/images/spacewolves/ragnarblackmane.jpg I've also gone back and added battle damage to all my marines, and I've done some reorganizing with the new Codex (plus again the newly finished units, the 2 Typhoons and the Drop Pod), so I'm going to be taking pictures of those in the next day or two and posting them up here as well. That and once I finish my Arjac Rockfist... I'll also post the revised army list based on the new codex: Wolves of Fenris - 1500 pts Ragnar Blackmane 4 Wolf Guard 3 Power Fists, Bolters Arjac Rockfist Lone Wolf Mark of the Wulfen, Meltabombs 9 Grey Hunters (+WGPL w/ Power Fist) Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Rhino 9 Grey Hunters (+WGPL w/ Power Fist) Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Rhino 9 Grey Hunters (+WGPL w/ Power Fist) Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Rhino 7 Grey Hunters (Arjac and Ragnar go here) Meltagun, Mark of the Wulfen, Drop Pod Land Speeder Typhoon Land Speeder Typhoon DV8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narsil the Death Dealer Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Man, you sure do make Ragnar look like a bad***! I just found your thread and I'm inspired by your wolves. I think now I'm going to start base coating all my wolves with airbrush and use your tutorial to help me get my army finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Excuse my ignorance but how much conversion went into that Ragnar? He looks stellar.... but I'm guessing ol' Ragnar never listened to his mom when she told him not to run with scissors. ;) Personally what I like about your style on these marines is (unless I just can't see it) it doesn't look like you've gone to town on highlighting but instead you've used 'lowlighting' (is that Asurmen Blue) to add depth to the armour, and the battle damage to further detail it. The base armour doesn't look over worked with unrealistic highlighting... the figs look great. ++edit++ Caught the tutorial on page 4. Nice job.

DV8 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Excuse my ignorance but how much conversion went into that Ragnar? He looks stellar.... but I'm guessing ol' Ragnar never listened to his mom when she told him not to run with scissors. ;) I dunno...I wouldn't qualify it as a fair amount, but that depends on your perspective I guess. Pre-paint shots: http://www.spacewithinspace.net/images/spacewolves/wip/DSC09015.JPG http://www.spacewithinspace.net/images/spacewolves/wip/DSC09016.JPG http://www.spacewithinspace.net/images/spacewolves/wip/DSC09017.JPG http://www.spacewithinspace.net/images/spacewolves/wip/DSC09018.JPG http://www.spacewithinspace.net/images/spacewolves/wip/DSC09019.JPG http://www.spacewithinspace.net/images/spacewolves/wip/DSC09020.JPG The base model is Kor'sarro Khan. I repositioned the legs with a pair of pliers, and re-built all the joints (I had to cut/saw out the joints to get the legs to bend properly) I got rid of both of Kor'sarro's default shoulder pads, and sculpted my own. I took Kor'sarro's cape (which has the backpack attached) and replaced the ball vents with wolf heads (from the SW Accessory Sprue backpack). Minor conversion work to one of the new Space Wolf heads, added a girdle/belt-of-sheer-win, and made the rest of the pelt from the Wolf Guard pack and the SW Accessory Sprue wolf cape thing. Personally what I like about your style on these marines is (unless I just can't see it) it doesn't look like you've gone to town on highlighting but instead you've used 'lowlighting' (is that Asurmen Blue) to add depth to the armour, and the battle damage to further detail it. The base armour doesn't look over worked with unrealistic highlighting... the figs look great. I wouldn't really call it low-lighting. The armor goes up to Fortress Grey, so it's pretty bright. I've just upped the contrast by having lots of blues and purples in the shadows, subdued with browns, and I've stayed away from edge highlighting (which has this tendency to "pop").
