Raezyr Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 And now the second addition to my pack. XD I love the new sculpts for the Space Wolves I had pretty high hopes and it was fantastic that I wasn't disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Very nice. I think the silver trims give them a cooler look than the usual gold. And the bases a very nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi, Those marines look great,really like the shade of grey you've used for the armour. The silver trim is a nice touch too,helps tie them into the cold themed base. Â Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raezyr Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thank you very much for the compliments. This is actually the first time in a long time that I have worked mainly on my own army. :lol: Well here is another of my wolves. And another.

Raezyr Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 And here is my fifth Blood Claw. I love the Wolf Head style helmet though I am trying to save a few for my friend who may be starting an army of her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eikrem Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Very nice looking Wolves. What do you use on their bases, if you dont mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raezyr Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 I don't mind you asking at all, I find it to be a compliment :tu:. Â For the rocks themselves I am using the ones that are in the GW 40K basing kit. I chose these since they tend to have a flatter shape like shale or slate. I then adhere the rocks with Tacky glue. I find it is a bit neater to work with since its thicker and tends not to drip. I then either prime them or in a pinch paint them up with chaos black. I base coat with Adeptus Battlegrey from the Citadel Foundation line, I drybrush with a 1:1 mix of Astronomican Grey and Adeptus Battlegrey, then a final highlight with a light drybrush of Astronomican Grey. I then bring they colours down with a wash of badab black thinned with a bit of water I usually make a third of the mix water. For the snow I am using the GW Snow flock which is like a very fine grass flock, think smaller fibers. I have found that other snow is often a flake crystal like material which I find to be better for a hard packed snow while the GW makes for a softer more powder like snow. I have used both tacky glue and p.va glue for the snow itself and I find the tacky glue makes the snow look a bit more icy, it gives it a more translucent look. The p.v.a on the other hand dries with more of an opaque white that lends itself to fresh snow. I have used both glues on the models the third pic has the tacky glue while the fourth the p.v.a. I plan to stick with the p.v.a but I would suggest if you do have both glues that you test it out since the difference isn't as distinct in the photo due to the flash passing more light through the actual snow fibers than a regular room light. Â I hope this helps if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
