ironbear Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Started updating my old wolves as well as doing the new ones, but i am not satisfied with how the SG/SWG ones are coimg out at the moment!!! I am temped to do them Adpetus battle grey/codex grey/ fortress grey but is there a major difference in the colours fluff wise? I am not really interested in the pre heresy kinda stuff. Just wondered if it would cause ructions with opponents if i rock up with codex grey wolves?

Simo429 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Paint them how you want. Anyone who complains about it isn't worth your time. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/210608-blue-grey-vs-grey-grey/#findComment-2507271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpsilver Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Blue-grey is current. Grey was Heresy and Pre-heresy. As what was already said, paint them how you like. Both look good. Grey I think it easier to work with, however they are both great tones.

CainTheHunter Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I found out that blue is easier for me than grey. I painted tons of grey 5 years ago when I entered in 40K with 13th company. When the new dex came out and I restarted my wolves, I decided to go with blue-grey and it offers to me much more possibilities.

stinkenheim Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 The Space Wolves have never changed their colour scheme since the Heresy (as far as I know). What happened was that the 'Eavy Metal painters stopped using grey and instead starting using the baby blue colour. Maybe it was better to photgraph, maybe it appealed to people more who knows. Bascially paint them whatever colour you prefer, and ignore anyone who complains. You pay the money and put them together so its down to you to paint them how you like.

wolfpack Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I agree...yer pref...I used a battle blue grey for a while as it was a cheaper paint and with 100 figs to paint seemed more cost effective...now I use the shadow grey base and then highlight through SW grey...it's close to my original works and allows more lee way when I make a booboo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/210608-blue-grey-vs-grey-grey/#findComment-2507356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Blue-grey VS grey-grey, Whats the difference? The first is dumb, the second is cool. And no one better argue with me, because I know my own opinion better than anyone else does.

Maximus-92 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 The first is dumb, the second is cool. And no one better argue with me, because I know my own opinion better than anyone else does. Well then maybe you should present it as opinion rather than fact... Personally i prefer the SG, maybe this is because i only started 40k 5 years ago.

Fenric Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I use somethign in between, I use the semi new color fenris grey which is blue grey mix almost like dark pale jeans in color and then i highlight with astronomican grey. I like how that turns out tbh. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/210608-blue-grey-vs-grey-grey/#findComment-2507812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilbeetles Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 My wolves are almost pure grey. I use P3 paint Great Coat Grey as a base which is like codex grey with a hint of blue to it.

jmurph Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 So, yeah, nobody will care. Personal preference. I believe the guy who painted the current codex minis used a mix of shadow and codex grey (maybe fenris?) for the basecoat. Then highlights up to Space Wolf grey. Washes with thinned brown, etc. I prefer a less blue grey as I think the GW minis tend towards more of a Carolina or powder blue than grey.

fandon Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I'm getting ready to paint my army, debating between dark blue grey and grey grey, I like em both and have seen amazing dark blue grey armies out there, just haven't seen anyone talk about that here.

WG Vrox Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/IMG_1695.jpg I didn't like the baby blue so went unorthodox and did a grey with a hint of blue.. There is no wrong way to do it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/210608-blue-grey-vs-grey-grey/#findComment-2508310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I wonder what the point of that whole second sentence was. That... no, it couldn't be could it, well maybe, just maybe, the point of that sentence was to make it abundantly clear that this was an opinion of mine. Reading is fundamental, Max.

Skarvald the Troll-faced Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I prefer the blue-grey approach. Why? Because battle damage looks better on lighter colors in my opinion and I just like how devlan mud looks around the legs of my marines - dirty, grimy, yummy. :lol: I also paint the eyes of my Space Wolves bright orange, my weapons have golden ornaments and the fur and tails that I paint have an orange tint to them, which complements the blue power armor. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_olKaNO-EbQg/TIV8aFhbOlI/AAAAAAAAAGk/LKvHV1ufHgs/s200/P9064634.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/210608-blue-grey-vs-grey-grey/#findComment-2508433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
