Schertenleib Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'm finally done! It has been some twenty years since I last picked up a brush and painted miniatures, so any comments would be most welcome.

Growler67 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'd like a profile or half profile shot of the Dread to get a better look at the Wolf's head. Overall a good job and as mentioned maybe a quick wash, maybe thinned out a bit if you like your colors scheme.

Toasterfree Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 looks very nice after the wash. i tend to do mine a bit heavier tho, but i like the darker look. http://i486.photobucket.com/albums/rr225/toasterfree/Wolves/IMG_0015.jpg http://i486.photobucket.com/albums/rr225/toasterfree/Wolves/IMG_0010.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179716-my-great-hunt-quest-complete/#findComment-2127653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 nice work brother simple and effective just the way i like it. good use of the goblin wolf rider command head, ive run out of those type as all my dreads feature them. i would be tempted to sculpt some fur to fill in the gaps, but it looks nice as it is aswell  the colour of gold youve used does a really good job of complementing the pale blue  have an ale brother nice work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179716-my-great-hunt-quest-complete/#findComment-2127855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schertenleib Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 i would be tempted to sculpt some fur to fill in the gaps, but it looks nice as it is aswell  I haven't tried using green stuff (or any of the other putties), yet. Looks like it's a pretty standard tool for most Wolves. Just not sure where to start.

AcidBurn Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 green stuff is great with practice, get some and have a go on a random model. i use a lot of greenstuff on my models (as my posts have shown). it is a very good way to wolf up your marines. if you do try it out, dont give up wen you get frustrated its all about trial and error Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179716-my-great-hunt-quest-complete/#findComment-2128073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Runner Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think you still got the knack for it. Try highlighting the edges of the power armour with a lighter grey. Â As green stuff is concerned a small tip:don't try building everything at once. Build a section let it dry and build another. keep your tools moist or use talcum power. I tend to go for talcum powder since it's not as reflective as water and allows you to see what you are doing better. I find talcum powder excellent for rolling out capes and long pieces of cloth (Talcum powder even allows you to roll green stuff so thin that it becomes translucent without tearing or sticking to surfaces). On the downside, adding talcum powder reduces adhesiveness of the putty. Some use petroleum jelly. I don't recommend it, it's too messy, but that's just me.

Schertenleib Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think you still got the knack for it. Try highlighting the edges of the power armour with a lighter grey.

Growler67 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Which ever works the best for you. I can't dry brush to save anyones life and though I still try and practice on odds and ends, I don't actually perform this technique to my models. Maybe one day.

Night Runner Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I've seen it done both ways, with good results. Drybrushing is not a technique I particularly like, but I use it for weathering and highlighting fur. With power armour highlights I prefer to go in with a fine brush. Wipe most or some of the paint off, and swipe the edges with the flat of the brush or the point depending on the space you have to work on. For example, for the edges of the shoulder pads use the flat of the brush, but for the inner part of the elbow you might have to use the point. A steady hand comes with practice and a bit of patience, but from what I see in your work you already have a steady hand. The eyes and shoulder pad markings are proof of it. Post more pics when your army is ready. I'd love to see them.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 looks good. My recommendations is to highlight armor in fortress grey. I just did it to my wolves and they look way more :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179716-my-great-hunt-quest-complete/#findComment-2128907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
