MalevolentMc Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hey y'all; my little cousin is just barely starting to get into 40k And opted for a Space wolves army to be his first. He didn't like the SW original colors though, so we worked up something to his liking. I wanted him to be able to produce a nice army fairly quickly, and easily too! So we used The Army Painter products to get him where he needed to be. He hasn't painted much(at all) but with my help we came up with an easy way to get his models looking cool. I painted up this test mini in 18 minutes. This is the final result! Tell me what you think. Sorry the pics are crappy, took em in a hurry! Base coat only. http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/9990/sam0052q.jpg http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/3299/sam0053.jpg That part was done in 18 minutes, excluding the spray. Moved on to Army Painter Strong Tone dip. Final result. http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7452/sam0062s.jpg http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8952/sam0064w.jpg I think the Army painter products are pretty fantastic for first time hobbyist. What do ya'll think? Any q's i'd be sure to answer them. Peace, Malev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Its nice for the time it took, but things like the under-armor and bolt pistol casing could deffinitely use some different colors than just the basecoat. A little more time and I think the end result would be drastically improved. Army Painter does make some nice dips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verythrax Draconis Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Amazing! I would just paint the skull in the pistol and the solt armour in another colors for added detail, but army painter in increadible! Which tone of quickshade you used to achieve this?

ChaosxVoid Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 looks like an imperial fist tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalevolentMc Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 Nah i feel you mate, it totally does. But that's just a test for the color/dipping results on a old metal veteran. When we do it for real with the SW plastics, it may look a little more unique. Malev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottenlad Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 The dip does look fantastic on the new wolves my buddy just finished a 1850 all with the dip and it looks great the details just pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalevolentMc Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 Nice! Did you do traditional SW colors? I'd love to see some. :P Malev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feuer_faust Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I'd recommend a darker red or brown for the flexible armor bits to differentiate from the rigid armor plates. The yellow casing could work, but it does seem to get lost in the rest of his armor even outstretched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosxVoid Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 It might look good you should give it a try on some wolves, i just hope they dont look like imp fists with fur pelts lol good luck man xVoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotman Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I like it, but you should add some black plating...Wolverine look :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I agree, give him some black plating (or dark-blue depending on which comics you read, maturity is a state of mind not an age). Looking at a pic, i'd say do it on the hands (and maybe forearms), lower legs, inner shoulder pad, groin and maybe some parts of the helmet. Heres something I knocked up quickly, do what you wish with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faol Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Great yellow, :wub: worked well with dipping they have a very gritting look. It would make a nice Space Wolves off shoot chapter Warriors of Niflheim or Asgard comes to mines just some suggestions to help spark the imagination :down: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalevolentMc Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Appreciate the input guys! Very helpful.... Now just for my cousin to get his first paycheck so we can irresponsibly blow it on Space Wolves. I'm definitely going to get a shot at attempting to darken some panels to break it up a bit... right now I'm leaning towards some grey paneling. Just because i like the way the grey turned out!
