Dread Wolf Master Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Evening brothers, Need some tips on either painting schemes or bit mods that could distinguish the GW generic rune priest from the other wolves. Just off the top of my head i was thinking doing a limb or two in shadow grey (My army has a codex grey base with gold trim and scab red shoulders.) Any brother who can give me a tip or two is welcome to a pint of ale on me. -Hail Russ and the Allfather Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190914-distinguishing-rune-priests/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosedragon Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Codex marines paint their librarians blue...the codex astartes means nothing to the wolves, but it would make yuor rune priest stand out, and if anyone talks smack about him say he's honoring the traditions of the other chapters. Mine is blue...so take that njal. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190914-distinguishing-rune-priests/#findComment-2264076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG Vrox Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 My normal wolves are a light grey with a tint of blue so I went with this, I think it helps him stand out nicely. Welcome to it if you like what ya see. http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/IMG_1099.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190914-distinguishing-rune-priests/#findComment-2264077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taeken Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I plan on painting the armor white using the same techniques GW says to paint White Scars. I think it will look cool. White RP's and Black WP's. (WP's using the GW painting tech for the Leagion of the Damned) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190914-distinguishing-rune-priests/#findComment-2265101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ullr Direfang Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I currently use a dark grey for my guys. i base it with fenris grey foundation. and then go lightly(if it is really possible i can't tell) with adeptus battlegrey, the codex grey. for my RPs i plan on forgoing the adeptus to make them a little more blueish in color.

Araith Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Runes and model aside the paint scheme of my Rune Priest doesn't differ from the rest. The most distinguishing parts aside from the runes are the lack of a Great Company shoulder pad and that he has a white wolf pelt instead of a grey one that most of my wolves have - an idea I have from a snippet of old Rune Priest fluff (second edition perhaps?) that I recall reading somewhere.

Ominous Anonymous Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 You could just embellish their armor with some, y'know, runes. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190914-distinguishing-rune-priests/#findComment-2265384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I find a nice dark blue, like necron abyss is good for this, as it also distinguishes him as being part of the great wolfs company.

Grey Mage Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I made mine out of a DA veteran... robes and a hooded helmet, with SW backpack and Shoulderpad, crux terminatus on the other side. A wizened staff in one hand, a lightning claw in the other *counts now as his runic weapon I spose*.
