Been working on my necromancy and felt like resurrecting this project. I recently picked back up on this guy and put in the effort of finishing the GS work. There's a lot still left to do, but I feel most of the base colors are there.. oh, and I swapped the head. >.>

Anyways, here it is! C&C welcome. Enjoy!

Looks good. How did you paint the.. hair, on the sides, where it looks like he has been shaven and then let it grow out some?

 

Well, it still needs some more blending (aka unfinished) but the jist of it is, after you pick a base skin tone, find a warm "goldilocks" grey (not too dark, not too light) which GW doesn't really have, so I went with P3 paints.. Bastion Grey I believe. You want a warm grey so it's not as jarring to the eye. Then apply a thinned coat of that over the area where the hair "should" be. Once that's dry, go over the whole head with Ogryn Flesh Wash (or whatever flesh tone wash you prefer) and the wash should pick out the skin tone underneath the grey, making it look like scalp showing through hair.

 

The reason you'll want a grey over the skin tone isn't for hair color. It's to make the eye think that you see the untanned, never-seen-the-sun, scalp flesh under the hair. Once you have it blended the way you want, you can go back in with a color wash (or a very very thinned non-wash color) and go over the "untanned" area to give the shaved hair the color you want.

 

 

 

...long-winded, I know. TL;DR: thinned grey over skin tone, then blended with washes.

Very handsome!

 

Great head - but I am not picking it, where is it from?

 

I think its a Chaos Marine head.

With the hair from a marauder horseman by the looks of it.

 

Not too sure if it is a chaos one though. Maybe from the assault marine sprue.

Painted wolves. LW is still getting GS work.

Those wolves look amazing, obviously wolves, but with an added aggressive edge. Does the wolf rider head section sit directly on top of the warhound jaws, or is it separated? And your Lone Wolf looks like he's about to rip out some throats! Really dynamic pose, what did you use for the body?
