Bikeninja Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I had a request to post some of my models so they could get a look at the paint scheme. Nothing fancy really just a combination I was playing around with that I think looks pretty cool. Anywho here are some pics. I have been playing Wolves since Rogue Trader. I have alot of stuff that I have never taking pics of. I am not the best painter nor the best with a camara. I am still on the bottom of the learning curve when it comes to taking photos of mini's. My paint scheme is Fenris Grey Wash w/ Asurmen Blue Highlight w/ Shadow Grey Final Highlight with Ice Blue. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/cmbtbiker/IMG_2466.jpg http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/cmbtbiker/IMG_2464.jpg http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/cmbtbiker/IMG_2455.jpg I have since painted the Ultramarines shoulder black and yellow. He is Wolf Lord on Bike and was built for a specific tourney. My partner was playing Ultramarines. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/cmbtbiker/IMG_2451.jpg http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/cmbtbiker/IMG_2445.jpg http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/cmbtbiker/IMG_2047.jpg Rune Priest work in progress. The whole army is now around 5000 pts or so. Maybe more. I am still practicing with highlighting and stuff. I am alot better with my washes but highlighting without drybrushing is difficult. Still learning. Any tips you all have would be great. Thanks, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220798-my-sons-of-russ/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiOfRuss Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Where did you get the wolves from? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220798-my-sons-of-russ/#findComment-2636803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schertenleib Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 First one looks like a Mr Dandy. Second one I believe is Heroclix or something similar. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220798-my-sons-of-russ/#findComment-2637062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeninja Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 You sir are right on both. I was in the process of converting the Heroclix Wolves when the Mr. Dandy wolves came out. I bought the full Mr. Dandy set and then finished three Heroclix Wolves so that I can build some differing combos.

Frontline989 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Your biker is kickass! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220798-my-sons-of-russ/#findComment-2637095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Son of Russ Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 No offence to you good sir but i think your colours are too ultramariney, you need to have them shadow grey with lighter grey highlights or literally just paint them codex grey considering shades and highlights. The biker is good, get rid of the ultramarine shoulder pad. They look excellent, good choice on having thunderwolves! you are a true wolf!

I just figured that was the Ultra-wolves Chapter. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220798-my-sons-of-russ/#findComment-2637883 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeninja Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 A buddy and I played in a team tourney together (Battle for Supremacy). He was playing an Ultramarines Bike army and I of course was playing Wolves (the real Marines). I built that Lord for the sake of Synergy with his army as he was using Khan and alot of Outflanking. I wanted my Lord to be able to support his guys quickly. I put the shoulder pad on him for the sake of Team spirit. It is Black and Yellow and looks good. Sort of a battle honor from the tourney. (We went from getting maxed our first game to finish 4th) The shoulder pad will have to stay ^_^ . That guy (who is now my Standard HQ Lord Argus ShadowWolf) got his butt handed to him his first game out and then has proceeded to lay the smack on everything he touches. I am running a Wolf Priest on Bike with him and together they are really tearing it up. As for the color I was going for a deep oceans and ice kinda look. I think the look in the Codex is too bright and fluffy for the hard asses the Wolves are and everyone seems to be doing Grey nowadays so I tinkered around and came up with the scheme you see. Admittedly it does have alot of blue but it I think the blue fits more with who they are. That is just my opinion. Thanks for complements.
