Iron Master Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 So, I like Space Wolves and Chaos so, I decided to make a Skyrar's Dark Wolves army using the Space Wolves dex. I do not particularly like GW's scheme for the Dark Wolves so I decided to make my own. Here is the test mini. I do not like the metal all that much and will probably switch it for dirty chainmail or boltgun though I do like the brass accents. Front view. I plan to embellish each marine with small chaos iconography though trying to make them look like new renegades. http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv89/40kminis/Dark%20Wolves/P2220187.jpg Chapter Symbol http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv89/40kminis/Dark%20Wolves/P2220188.jpg Pack Markings - each of these will be some variation on the chaos start and grey hunter mark. http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv89/40kminis/Dark%20Wolves/P2220189.jpg Let me know what you think and if you have any advice!

asmodai650 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I agree with the metals. also, what about keeping the chest plates gray as well. Right now it looks a little plain. I do love the shoulder pads, especially the chaos star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Master Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 The goal behind the black was to do the edges in mithril to giv a chipped appearance. Not sure it does that well with the metal eagle on the chest. Maybe I can try the body in red. If I go with the grey, he looks just like a space wolf which isnt terrible but I do want them to be a bit different. Maybe something like this? http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv89/40kminis/Dark%20Wolves/DarkWolves.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talhydras Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I think it is a little much red. I would only paint the top chest plate with the eagle and the helmet red, while keeping the backpack, the abdomen and the crotch grey... Otherwise I like the scheme... How come I never heard of Dark Wolves before? You said there is a GW-scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Master Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yeah, its in the CSM Codex (Pg 24) called Skyrar's Dark Wolves. I will see how it looks leaving the backpack SW colors and keeping the center red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talhydras Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 You just have to watch out... besides the chaos symbols, various red armour parts remind of the 13th company... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
