Sulfurious Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hello all, I've been lurking around the Space Wolf forums here for a little while now and thought it was time to introduce myself. I started playing 40k back in the 2nd Ed days and my very first army was Wolves. I took some time off from the game along the way and have been playing again for the past 8-10 years with various other armies. Dark Eldar, IG, Black Templar, Death Guard, and Necrons to be exact. However none of those armies really satisfied me. I always said that once they released the new codex I'd start another Wolf army to get back to my "roots". Since then I've been painting up my Grey Hunters and things are clicking along beautifully. I look forward to chatting with you guys and hearing what advice the more experienced players have to offer.

Hfran Morkai Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Welcome to the Fang! *hands a stein of ale over* The rest of the lads can be a rowdy bunch but you'll be fine so long as you don't get between them and the ale. Glad to see another Wolf-Brother return! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192282-coming-back-home/#findComment-2282751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Runner Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Welcome back to the fold Wolf-Brother and post some pics when you've painted up a few models. :) Thought of the day: Once a Space Wolf always a Space Wolf, no matter how far they stray. *bobs his head in a wisely fashion* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192282-coming-back-home/#findComment-2282973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulfurious Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Ask and you shall recieve. Here are a few that I was working on during my lunch break today. All that's left is to put the Wolf decals on the shoulderpads and put some snow on the bases.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Nice painting. I really like the flesh and the wolf pelt on the bald grey hunter. Could you tell me how you painted the flesh and the pelt?

Night Runner Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Great stuff. Especially the skull and fur shading, skin tone and pack markings. I take off my hat to you. I presume it's Ragnar's company from the yellow shoulder pad.

Sulfurious Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Sure here goes. It should be known though that I took these straight from the White Dwarf #357 where they were painting the dual LC Wolf Guard model. I'm just good at following directions. ^_^ Wolf Pelt 1. basecoat with Scorched Brown 2. Pick out the edges of the fur with Bestial Brown (allow more coverage toward the edges) 3. Drybrush the center of the pelt with Vomit Brown and paint the edges with the same 4. Drybrush Bleached bone in the center and then painted even further out on the edges 5. Pick out the very extreme highlights with skull white. Again a little more towards the edges. Use this very sparingly! 6. Lastly wash it first with Gryphonne Sepia and let it dry. Then again with a wash of Ogryn Flesh Face and Head This one I kinda shortened from the tutorial to fit my own taste. 1. Basecoat with a 1:1 mix of Vermin Brown and Scorched Brown 2. Dwarf Flesh was brushed on next leaving it out of the recessed areas 3. Highlight with 1:1 mix of Dwarf Flesh and Skull White 4. Then apply a 3:1 mix of Skull White and Bleached Bone 5. Wash with a 1:1 mix of Gryphonne Sepia and Ogryn Flesh 6. Use Bleached bone for the eyes and teeth If it sounds like a lot of work and it that's because it is. It's always been a problem of mine that if I see something I like and it takes 10 steps to do it, I can't help myself. If you plan on doing them this way, it's best to do 5-10 models at a time so you don't feel like your constantly switching paint.
