Shieldwall Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hey guys, this is your generic introduction post. :P I just recently returned to the hobby after a pretty long absence (last time I did anything Warhammer related was about mid 3rd edition...) I guess you could blame the awesome new SW miniatures for that. I was actually always much more of a painter than a gamer, however, the wolves made me want to finally have my first REAL playable 40k army (I used to own dozens of snippets from various armies back in 3rd ed, but never really surpassed the 500 point mark) and finally get the gaming aspect of the hobby going. So, here I am, hoping for a good time with you guys, and also showing you some pictures of the SW stuff I recently did. Terminator wolfguard, both with stormshileds: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100476.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100477.jpg The Runepriest, only HQ thus far: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100482.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100483.jpg And a bunch of Grey Hunters, I didn't get around to take pictures of the whole squad yet: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100510.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100495.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100496.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100499.jpg Those are all designated for use on the table, so you might see a little light reflecting on the varnish here and there.. More to come in the next posts. If you have any questions concerning me, the painting, whatever, feel free to ask cheers, Shieldwall Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201041-new-wolf-and-his-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karack Blackstone Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Nice models, hope your dice can reflect how good they look. Cobble a list together, have fun and play. Ale's over that way (Points past the Blood Claws) so have fun showing them you're not new to the hobby.

Shieldwall Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Thanks man, glad to hear that. My camera slaughtered the blendings at some points, so it's good to see they're still noticeable. Last for now, I'd like to share some pics of my Forgeworld Dread. Damn fine sculpt, even if it was a pain in the back assembling it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100479.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100480.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100521.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/Ferai/P5100481.jpg That's all for now, hope you like greets Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201041-new-wolf-and-his-army/#findComment-2396366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simo429 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 how did you paint the wolves on teh forge world sarcophagus if this is you paint after years away from the hobby I dead to think what its like when you had plenty of practice Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201041-new-wolf-and-his-army/#findComment-2396371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shieldwall Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Heh, thanks. The wolf heads were basecoated with scorched brown, followed by a layer of bestial brown. From there on, I started stepwise mixing the bestial brown with parts of bleached bone, starting out really gentle with a 90:10 ratio, and blending it in heavy watered down glazes. I'm not sure how many steps it took till I applied pure bleached bone, propably around eight to ten. The last highlighting glazes were mixes of bleached bone and skull white, with a final highlight of pure skull white. The colour transitions don't show too well on the photo though. if this is you paint after years away from the hobby I dead to think what its like when you had plenty of practice It wasn't until a year ago that I really got a hang of the more "professional" painting techniques. I guess I had plenty of guys to look up to and learn from.

Hfran Morkai Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Your models upset me with their awesomeness in the paint department, then they make me happy with the dedication put in, so I'm a happy wolf. I think this one's a keeper! *Slaps a tankard of ale in front of the newcomer* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201041-new-wolf-and-his-army/#findComment-2396487 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimtooth Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 God dammit...I wish I could paint like that... I know. I have advanced over the years, but I just do not have the natural talent for any arts, much less painting.
