WolfLordLars Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 http://www.thearmypainter.com/gallery_pres...%20Wolf%20Squad This is more or less what I was planning, except basing black and using an airbrush for the 'proper' SW Grey/Shadow Grey mix as the base.

Grey Mage Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Does that quickshade stuff actually work? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182526-quick-painting-wolves/#findComment-2159056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfLordLars Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 I will be able to tell you after this weekend (hopefully). I painted up a Blood Angel model I had the other day, just a Blood Red base coat, some details, and a dip... and it looks damn good I think. Will try to post a pic tomorrow.

soonerhef Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'll be looking forward to your report. Which tone do you intend to use? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182526-quick-painting-wolves/#findComment-2159122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deedark Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I do think the dip method is fine for army standard painting, only used it once on my son nids and for nids worked great as the shiny wet look does. Some of the colours can look a bit flat but then you cant beat it for time and if you want a quick fix this works very well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182526-quick-painting-wolves/#findComment-2159137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgad Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 If you want to see how dipped space wolves turn out, you can check the picture-thread for my bloodclaws. I use dipping for all of my stuff, and it's generally a fantastic way to get table-top quality models done much, much faster than painting them.

Evilmerlin Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 What are the colours you used for the base coat and the dip for your blood claws? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182526-quick-painting-wolves/#findComment-2159169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fenrisian Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 My first set of Wolves were painted by a mate of mine as a commission as I can't paint to save my life. Then they released the wash boxes and I thought I'd at least give them a go. I used a Sea Grey Humbrol spray as a base coat and then painted the other colours over the top of that and then used Devlan Mud to shade them. They're really good tabletop quality, which is all I'm after now. I don't like spending hours painting, so these were the perfect thing for me. I've also got a tin of quick shade, but the only time I tried it for my Wolves, the Grey was more near to Fortress Grey (I believe it was a Vallejo paint) and was way too light and it made him come out looking dirty. I swear by the 'dipping' method now (I usually paint the shade on for more control), but I would highly recommend putting at least the 1st highlights on the model before you dip them too as dipping makes things come out really quite dark once they're dry. If you look at one of my GHs I've tried adding a shoulder pad highlight as a test and it really makes a difference to the darkness of the model. These are the Grey Hunters I painted in one evening using my method: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/jay...-05-09_2144.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/jay...-05-09_2143.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/jay...5-09_214301.jpg They won't look display standard using dipping, but my god does it fire out a nice looking army in very little time. It helped me paint a whole 1.5k IG list for a tournament in less than 2 weeks!
