VonMerrick Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I've just begun building my Great Company and have also finished my first 5 Grey Hunters. They were designed for Tabletop quality and as such, I've tried out a few new items. The most pleasing to me has been the Quick Shade Dip from Army Painter. All that I need to do with these 5 is apply the Great Company Decals I've printed up, and Coat the minis with a Matte Sealer to eliminate the Gloss and seal the decal. After that I'll base the squad. Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance. http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm301/thornwolf45/IMG_3728.jpg http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm301/thornwolf45/IMG_3729.jpg http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm301/thornwolf45/IMG_3730.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187667-wip-grey-hunters-from-harald-deathwolfs-great-company/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 They look good, but I'd say there is a little to much dip in a few places. 2nd pic, 2nd guy from the right has a really big dark... eh... "dot" of colour/dip. It just looks like it is too much. Some similar stuff on the others, but if you clean them up a bit after dipping, they should be great!

VonMerrick Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 I used my SLR to take these, and the Dip isn't as dark in person. The beakie marine has nice shading to the eye, but in the photo the flash made the head appear darker. Maybe once I decal base and matte it, the dip coat will be more muted.

Night Runner Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I really like them. I'm not a fan of yellow in Grey Hunters. I honestly think GH should be down-to-earth and sombre like the eve of a mighty storm (getting carried away with myself here). Personally I think your colour scheme captures this mood brilliantly. Great job. keep it up and post more pics. :) Edit: Never actually saw models shaded with 'Quick Shade Dip'. Looks like I have t try it out.

Lord Ragnarok Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Greetings fellow Death Wolfer, I like these guys. Looking good. Especially like the centered guy in the last pic.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 The black on the knee pads looks extra shiny. Did you use a varnish or was that just from the dip? Or perhaps just the flash from the camera?

SamaNagol Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 That's the finish of the dip. He still has to give them a matte clearcoat Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187667-wip-grey-hunters-from-harald-deathwolfs-great-company/#findComment-2220733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonMerrick Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 This is the first time I've used the dip and I am extremely pleased. The matte clearcoat will eliminate the shine, but I'm going to put my great company markings on first then clearcoat the models. For Deathwolf's great company, I wanted to get a darker and grittier tone for the models as his is the most feral of the great companies. I think this color enhances the red and definitely gives them that feral and wild appearance which has a warmer tone than the blue grey from the eavy metal team.
