angerforce Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hi everyone! I just painted up a couple of Grey Hunters today and I thought I might as well post them. Crappy pic, I know, just snapped one with my iPhone. I'll get better lighting next time. And this is tabletop quality, so don't be too hard on me. :) Here they are. My first ever Space Wolves. I'm actually kind of pleased with the result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronk Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I like what I see. Show the shoulder pads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angerforce Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Thank you! :) Here are the shoulderpads. I'll only post the right ones as the left ones are just golden yellow at the moment. I haven't got any SW waterslide transfers yet. Gotta get a hold of some somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Very nice looking Wolves there, nicely done. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styygens Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 They look very clean to me and the black dags appear to be neat. Good work! I tend to like my Wolves a little more wolfy, but there's something to be said for the clean look too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angerforce Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Thanks guys! Glad you like 'em! Makes me wanna paint up some more! :blink: They look very clean to me and the black dags appear to be neat. Good work! I tend to like my Wolves a little more wolfy, but there's something to be said for the clean look too. I agree with you on the wolfyness! I like mine wolfy and barbaric to! It's just that i have a couple of thousand points of unpainted marines lying around and I thought what the hell. Why not just paint some up as Space Wolves? I've been wanting to play space wolves since back in 2nd ed and I have all of their codices. I just bought the newest edition and I couldn't resist the temptation any longer. ;) After all, I just have to play a chapter that has an HQ choise with the same name as me! :) /Björn, the not quite so Fellhanded, Ängerforce. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angerforce Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hi again! I've finished a pack of Long Fangs for my Space Wolves. Hope you like them. As with the Grey Hunters these are tabletop quality and finished in a day, so not the prettiest guys out there, but I'm pleased with the result. Questions and comments are welcome! Cheers! /Bjorn Angerforce. [Edit: Spelling.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gainesdp Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Looks great. On the subject of adding more 'wolfy-ness', you may look into buying or trading for some left-over pieces from someone elses Space Wolf Tactical sprue. For example, I have a lot of left-over bits after assembling everything I could in one of those boxes. A lot of it is designed (I think) to be easily integrated into the standard space marine.

angerforce Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Thanks! Yea, I don't know any Wolf-players, but I'll get a box of space wolves (and maybe even a box of the great new terminator wolf guard!) and mix in with the bolter-grey-hunters and that will hopefully make the squad feel more barbaric and wolfy. :) Any thoughts on equipment for the other five guys in the squad (and the other squad of 10 GH I'm painting up next)? I'm fresh out of meltaguns but plasma guns seem to be in ample supply. /B.

I never thought you would leave the Lion for puppets! But they look amazing! Good work! Of course you have to bring some counts-as-Dreadnought. Not sure about the name though. Might he not rather be Björn the Hellstranded, or the Well Handed, after some melta-shots aimed at him? ;) Anyway, I hope to see more marines painted, in any of your colours!

pattison Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Absolutely nice. They are really neat compared to the short time you've spent with them. Regarding the wolfyness, well not every Space Wolf needs to be a werewolf berserk barbarian... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battle-Captain Garro Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'm about to start building/painting a SW army, how did you paint them? I like the colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I hope to see more marines painted, in any of your colours! The Prophet>>You never thought I'd leave the Lion for Puppets? What are the Word Bearers but puppets of the Dark Gods?? I Do not understand your logic. The Space Wolves are as far from someones puppets as I can imagine! We dance to noones tune but our own!! Awwwwwwwoooo! ;) Of course I'll bring a Bjorn to the table! How could I not? He (me?) is the oldest Space Wolf alive, and he has even seen the Emperor of Man!! B) That has to be the coolest thing ever! :P No fuggen "counts-as" :D I really hope they make a new Bjorn! If they don't, I'll certainly make one of my own using the new Forge World SW Dreadnought! :D And how can you even imagine him (me?) defeated by meltagun shots? Surely you understand that whatever heretic you throw at him will be hunted down, torn limb from limb and beaten to death by the wet end of his own arm (thanks for making it easy for me by magnetizing them for me!) by even the lowliest of my Space Wolves if we ever meet... It will be as if you never ever lived! ;) Pattison>>> Thanks Brother! Yea! I think they look quite good considering the time I spent painting them! :) And I certainly agree! The Space Wolves are not all berserker madmed! That is certainly an aspect of the Chapter, but not at all their defining characteristic! I would like one or two Lone Wolves with The Mark of the Wulfen and jump packs though! That would really fit the flavour of my Wolves! I'd love to see them rip a bunch of "The Prophet's" Word Bearers apart! ;) Battle-Captain Garro>>> You honour me by asking brother! I used the guide they posted in the White Dwarf as far as I could. Chaos Black undercoat, basecoat of Shadow Gray + Space Wolf Gray 1:1 (+Water), wash of Scorched Brown + Shadow Gray (+ a lot of water), highlight of Shadow Gray + Space Wolf Gray 1:3 (-ish!) (+ some water). All the other areas are pretty straightforward: Left shoulder: Skull White undercoat + Golden Yellow. Right shoulder: Mechrite Red + Chaos Black dags. Highlight of Skulle White + Chaos Black 1:1. The weapons (and joints and mouth-grills): Chaos Black undercoat + Skulle White + Chaos Black 1:1 highlight The metal areas: Chainmail + wash of Chaos Black + lots of water. The gold is: Burnished Gold as a basecoat with a wash of Bestial Brown + a lot of water. This is highlighted with a 1:1 mix of Burnished Gold and Mithril Silver Anyhing other than that you'd like to know? I wish you all the best brother Space Wolf! Blood and death are awaiting thine enemies! Let me know how you do! Any advice you come up with would be greatly appreciated! /B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Haha, and here I was, thinking I had thought about everything. I guess I have to start magnetizing the heads of my poor heretics then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
