Grimtooth Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys. Number four should be up in a couple of days followed swiftly by number five, just waiting for a copy of white dwarf for the crystalline blade tutorial to use on my frost blades. Bloody hell matey, those are looking awesome, I look forward to kicking them round a table at some point! Cheers bud. I kinda know how you felt when you were painting those Templars now. Hellva worth the effort though!! I haven't gone full TDA WG though. Eighteen more in PA, rune priest, wild priest, LLR, two pods and finally Logan. He'll go up last though. Looks good. What are you using for the base colour? Space Wolves Grey, Shadow Grey or Fenris Grey? Its a black spray undercoat followed by two thin coats of shadow grey to give a solid base and then between 4 and 6 fine layers of space wolves grey and then just straight skull white for the highlights. There is no blending, washing or drybrushing (except the bases) on the mini's, purely flat colours all the way. Once again thanks for the feedback, now back to the painting table.... So wait, are you black lining your armor joints freehand or is that that just the black base coming through? When I had an old Deathwing army, I used to use a very fine Micron pen to black line my armor joints. Was wondering how you got them so clean on the whole model.

Emperor's Instrument Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 So wait, are you black lining your armor joints freehand or is that that just the black base coming through? When I had an old Deathwing army, I used to use a very fine Micron pen to black line my armor joints. Was wondering how you got them so clean on the whole model. It's the Shadow Grey basecoat showing around the edges. To begin with I was being very neat and tidy when I was putting the Space Wolves Grey on and just touching up the Shadow Grey but that was taking ages. I changed to then being not so tidy with the SWG and tidying up the Shadow Grey afterwards which was a lot quicker. The only black showing through between other colours is on the Crux' and the Storm Shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI Joker Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I usually don't like the baby blue/ grey color on Wolves but yours are top notch. Great job all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersminis Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 While, as others, not a fan of baby blue wolves, this is some very good work. I really like the paint on the bones and the freehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Instrument Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Logan Grimnar and a Wolf Priest are my first two HQ choices for the army. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k193/lynx420_2006/CIMG0884.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juckto Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm loving the yellow weapon casings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Beautiful colours, crisp accurate painting and look great on the snow bases. The way you've highlighted the weapon cases makes everything look 'piano shiny' (nothing wrong with that) which is a good counterpoint to 40K grunge (nothing wrong with that either). Very nice work indeed. Keep posting those pics ;). Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader of Dorn Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Good painting there, with the models being so light you could try setting a slightly darker background for taking pics. So that the details can be more easily seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
