cheeseychaoslord Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 April Update 1 I have began painting my blood claws, this is my first attempt at highlighting so I wanted to see what you think. C&C welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Azoth Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I think you should dillute the paint a bit more, looks a bit thick..for the highlights in the edges wipe the paint in your brush and try to make thin lines in the edges... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseychaoslord Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Thanks, I know I should make thinner lines but its hard when you have no way to stop yourself shaking. Me thinks I'll stick to drybrushing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aiwass Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Nice grey-blue! About the highlightning don't worry, still trying. I almost never highlight a mini, because my brushes are mostly broken... and because I s**k very much :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseychaoslord Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 ok, having decided highlighting is hard, I have drybrushed him instead!!! Metals are not done. Any c&c welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Azoth Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 your drybrush looks nice, but maybe you should dare to highlight a bit the more prominet edges in the armour..I assure you the mini look would be improved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseychaoslord Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Blood claw one is almost finished, just his base to go. The red marks are part of the inititiation into the chapter, On their first kill, they must dip three fingers in the blood and make a mark. This is never taken off. Any way, heres the pic as always C&C welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenxis Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I think the model looked a lot better in the 2nd last picture; while obviously not finished when you look at the model the space wolf is the focus of attention. In the last update it's so busy I don't know where to look: do I look at the green (why???) wolftails, the slime green shoulder pads, the slime green totem? Way too busy. I do like the freehand on the kneepad and if the model was less busy the 3 red marks on the helmet would be very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseychaoslord Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Having heard your point, I will change it when i get new paints, in the meanwhile,he's staying like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseychaoslord Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Was really bored yesterday, so i painted most of my other blood claw. and a close up of his face. C&C welcome as asual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseychaoslord Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hi again, got given some second hand models ages ago. Most of them were Dark Angels, but i've figured out how to use them! I've converted Ezekiel and have thought of some rules on how he could be Blood Wolvish. I've looked in the Homegrown rules section, but i couldnt figure out where to post it. Does anyone know where to put the rules? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseychaoslord Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 I've just realised, Space Wolves don't have succsesor chapters :lol: I'll think of something. P.S Some one please comment as im becoming quite lonely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 lost company, although those don't have a vast suplly of bloodclaws and vehicles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hey no worries about the lack of a successor business, perhaps the spacewolves just refuse to acknowledge their successors exist, thats why theyre not recorded as such. Or perhaps its a space marine chapter that fought more according to the codex, then worked alongside the Space Wolves and became inspired by the way they fought and sought to mimic their force organization. Its your army do what you want with it :P it looks wonderful by the way, well done on those poses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseychaoslord Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 The Bood Wolves are The Lost 19th Grand Company of the Space Wolves. Lost During the Great Crusade through the Eye of Terror. They re-apeared in M39, little more than crazed space marines who each were possesed by a Daemon of Khrone. Through strenth of will and mind(something most space wolves don't have ;) ) a small selection of Rune Priests broke free and saved a chunk of the Grand Company. Many more still are in Khrone grasp(will model some of them later) and are called Khrones Wolves. Thats why their not proper space wolves.

C&C welcome I'm far from an expert on Space Wolves, but haven't there only ever been 13 Grand Companies at a time? So the 19th doesn't really fit. Easily solved though just make them a former 9th Grand Company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicksy Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Thanks, I know I should make thinner lines but its hard when you have no way to stop yourself shaking. Me thinks I'll stick to drybrushing Dont drybrush! Keep at it. You wont be perfect first time but with practise and patience you will get better. Brace both your brush hand and model holding hand on your table. That stops shakes. Make sure you hold the brush by the end of the ferrule (metal bit). Also thin your paints...50:50 water/paint for example and gently ease the highlights on one layer at a time. That will give you delicate, fine lines. Also, i found the citadel brushes a little unfit for purpose. I use others as well as the GW brushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Morenze Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I like the dramatic poses you've given these guys (especially that Blood Claw, he looks like he could kill you 6 times before you hit the floor) and I've been thinking about your fluff problem. My suggestion is to make them a renegade company from the days of yore, and go with that. Altogether, it's your army though, so do what you want to!

I'm far from an expert too, although I think there was 30 companys in the great grusade, But I'm not sure (Heck I don't even own the codex, Im using Chaos rules for them right now) Warsmith Morenze@ Thanks, I think a renegade company is appropriate, but not Chaosy, Its just the Inquisition declared them renegades as they had been possesed for so long. Wicksy@ Thanks, will try it out on the Grey Hunters who havn't broke (no god dam super glue :lol: ) and My Wolf Guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
