Hey PoS, your Wolflord came out really well, and I am not only saying this because it was my suggestion, but because your painting skills are really, really amazing. I thought your Golden Bolter entry was awesome, and so is your WL. :tu:

 

And a nice red you have there, incredibly smooth! Mind if I ask for the receipt?

Thanks!

No bother S.Bloodhowl :P

 

@ Snorri Snorrison: thanks mate. I'm not entirely sure they're amazing, but I like to think I'm showing improvement with every mini I paint now. The recipe for this red was adapted from one I saw in White Dwarf's "ask 'Eavy Metal" article a few months ago they used Fortress Grey which I don't have so here's my version of it:

 

Basecoat Scab Red

Wash recesses with 1:1 Chaos Black & Scab Red mix

Wash recesses with 3:1 Chaos Black & Scab Red mix

Starting from about 3:1 mix of Scab Red & Codex Grey blend the red areas up to 1:1 mix of Scab Red & Codex Grey

then blend the highlights up to a 1:3 mix of Scab Red & Codex Grey

 

To re-shade the recesses wash them with:

3:1 mix of Chaos Black and Snot Green

then 1:1 mix of Chaos Black and Snot Green

then with pure Snot Green

 

Hope this helps

 

thanks

I'm also trying to think of what his title should be, currently I'm swinging towards Lord of the Forge but I'm open to suggestions

 

thanks

Lord of the Smithy (sounds crap but you can see where I am going)

Lord of the Crucible

Lord Weaponsmith

Good work BTW. It's a quality piece this one.
