Rune Priest Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 So, I am painting 10-15 guys (space wolves) to this standard in a squad to be used as either Grey Hunters or Blood Claws. I am a SLOW painter (due to techniques and lack of motivation at times). I am looking for any feedback and/or motivation you guys can lend to help me on my loft goal of achieving a 2k list to this standard, but for now, a squad will do. Here are some pics of the squad so far: http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1289.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1285.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1287.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1288.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1290.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1291.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1294.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1295.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1292.jpg Thanks for looking and (hopefully) posting -matt Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163461-space-wolves-cc-squad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Priest Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'll get on that close-up for you tonight or tomorrow. Any other closeups you guys want while I'm at it? thanks for the feedback so far -matt also, could anybody give some feedback as to if these guys look 'wolfy' enough?

LPetersson Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think they look great. No wonder it takes a while... :) I take a while to paint too, but nowhere near that good. I think they definitely look wolfy enough. I like that the wolfyness is kinda understated but clearly visible. That way it won't make your HQ units look bad by comparison if you don't pimp them out completely in wolf stuff...

im terrible at painting Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 any chance of a painting tutorial? im terrible at painting. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163461-space-wolves-cc-squad/#findComment-1925864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 im terrible at painting. And I would never have guessed... :P I'd be happy to. The best I have at the moment is a step-by-step write up w/o the accompanying pictures. If you'd like, I can post that now, or I can take shots along the way with the remainder of the squad so that you have some vantage point to go with the words. Just let me know. On a side note, sorry about the close-ups not arriving yet as promised; I've been dreadfully busy with picture formatting for my Sanguinius guy and it has to be done by early April or I won't get him published ;) ... I'll get those close ups for you soon I hope. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163461-space-wolves-cc-squad/#findComment-1926278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Shots along the way would be great for me. I too really suck at painting, and your wolves look really, really nice.

Rune Priest Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Wow, sorry it took so long to get the closeup shots for you. I decided to just make the pics larger of two of them so you could see the highlights and the sword in better detail. I've been kind of swamped with commission work now... (and they aren't in power armour, so I haven't been able to post 'em). Anyways, here are the long overdue closeup/larger shots: http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1294-1.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1295-1.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm272/ulrik_the_slayer/IMG_1285-1.jpg BWT, where would you guys like me to put the tutorials for my wolves? in this thread or the tutorials forum (i'd assume the latter)? I have to paint up some Vanguard Veterans as part of a commission and I can include how to paint those golden chest eagles with NMM along with a few other details you see on my wolves models. After I'm done with them, I may have time to show you how to paint the primary colours. -matt Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163461-space-wolves-cc-squad/#findComment-1946975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Those are some beautiful miniatures, Rune Priest. It's clear that a lot of care has gone into painting them, and you should reflect on that when you're short of the motivation that you need to keep going. I think they'd be perfect as Blood Claws. I'd also love to see the Tutorial. I think you'd be best off posting it in the Tutorial Section. If you're lucky, the folks from the Librarium might put in a request to have your Painting Article included into the Librarium Tutorial Section. It'd certainly be a brilliant article. I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on with the rest of the squad!
