Grey Mage Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Last time I asked about that you told me it was the camera! As it is, the one on the right looks a little more blue than the one on the left to me.

JamesI Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I like the one on the right better, but they do look a little bluer than I generally picture Space Wolves.

MaveriK Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 So http://members.home.nl/maxdammit/40k/Old_or_new.jpg Old or new I like and prefer the one on the right (Iron Priest) Because of its subtle highlights that help define the shades in the armour on the Iron Priest. Could we get other pictures for a picture comparison?

Lord Ragnarok Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 You know my opinion. Highlights FTW. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220302-max-your-wolves-look-to-blue/#findComment-2629695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serunox Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The other night I asked my friend what he thinks of my new wolves colour.Went from the same blue as you to adeptus battle grey.He said the darker colour lets it look more battle weatherd, if you understand what I mean,and I agree.So for me the right one looks darker,so Id say the right one.

Heimdal Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 You are getting there ;) I prefer the highlights on the IP, but have you tried doint a two-stage highlight? 50/50 with Shadow Grey and SW Grey and then highlighting the most pronounced areas with SW Grey.

Orphus Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 New, armour looks more battle-worn but that could just be the highlights. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220302-max-your-wolves-look-to-blue/#findComment-2630223 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just that, but i think that 50 50 mix needs to be more 70 30 be course the shadow gray base coat is now much darker. I still have to think about this, if i go for the ironpriest i'll have to wash and highlight my whole army ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220302-max-your-wolves-look-to-blue/#findComment-2630409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdal Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 A perfect project for long and cold nights! I`ve done it once, was kinda mind-numbing after highlighting my 18th power armoured model.

Valerian Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Max, the armour on the model on the right is tons better. No highlighting and/or shading = no depth.

Stormbrow II Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'll echo those that say the one on the right is better. I'm a fan of the sharp highlights and the darker tone.

Bulweih Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The one on the right, by far. Try to think of it along the following lines, better start now and be done before you keep adding more models to the count. It's a high peak yes, but it will be even higher to climb the more time passes. It is by the way unheard of, that a son of Russ turns from a challenge ;) .

Grim Dog Studios Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I like the one on the left, the one on the right looks too much like a crimson fist for me.

Kaan Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I like the one on the right. Like the previous person said, no highlights, no shadows = flat model. I like the one on the right.

Way1and Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Old advice that may be new to some. Do not use Space Wolves Grey as your base coat or you'll wind up with blue wolves. It's supposed to be a highlight color, apparently.

Heimdal Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I`ve seen it. Its quite impressive ^_^ Its a daunting project but it can be done. I would just start with those models that is used the most. In two weeks time, I´ve spent three full days painting almost forty IG infantry models. Was fun seeing the army grow bit by bit. You will feel the same satisfaction B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220302-max-your-wolves-look-to-blue/#findComment-2631389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barn Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I like the one on the left, the one on the right looks too much like a crimson fist for me.

DV8 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I like the armor color of the left model, but the technique on the right model is far superior. With equal treatment with highlights, the left model would look IMO infinitely better, especially for the entire army. As it stands the color of the right model, particularly with red, just makes it look like a slightly desaturated Crimson Fist.

IamCaboose Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I gotta agree with DV8... the priest looks like a crimson fist riding a wolf almost. Still an awesome paint job just a bit too..."fisty" Caboose Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220302-max-your-wolves-look-to-blue/#findComment-2633793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Dragonfire Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Im with DV8 also!! IMO it has to be YOU that likes the colour. Your army looks awesome as it is! My army has been painted over the last 20 years, ive got better and the colour has changed but I still use the first " lighter, inferior paint jobs models and the latest models together when I play bigger games. The way I look at it armour would get painted at differant times in reality , weathered differently etc.. Though having said that Im not keen on some of the earlier basing work I did and am debating whether to rebase the lot... Doh! lol Sometimes it just bugs dont it!

Bikeninja Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 If you want more blue this is the scheme I am usuing. Black Primer Fenris Grey Wash Asurmen Blue (acts as more of a glazed than a wash) Highlight with Fenris Grey/Shadow Grey mixes. My final highlights are with Ice Blue instead of Space Wolf Grey (personal preference) I would post an example but the site is saying I cannot post a link from photobucket.
