Quannum Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Well, thanks to all who followed my short painting blog I set up a little while back, and offered comments and feedback. I am now thrilled to present my very first EVER fully painted gaming army...since I've spent years with semi-painted armies, this is a huge deal for me (who's with me?!) I know the painting style may not be to everyone's tastes, but FYI I'm a big fan of the grimy, heavy wash look, with extreme highlights in almost a graphic novel style of paintwork. Shot this video today in my local London GW - I hope you like it all. A selection of pics follow video, but the video will give you a better idea of it live in the 'flesh': + + + + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XYq9yVSt6s + + + + http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/WholeArmy3.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/WholeArmy1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/RunePriests1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/LandRaider1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/GroupShot2.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/Rhinos1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/Vindicator1-1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/LongFangs3-1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/Razorbacks1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/WolfScouts1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/GroupShot3.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/Rhinos2.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/QuannumProjects/Space%20Wolves%202011/LandSpeeders2-1.jpg C&C very much welcome!

Beef Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Wow those are some sweet SW you have there. I like the Rune priests, I may have to borrow that idea, Which London store do you play at? what did you use for the snow on the bases?

I play at the Bromley store in South-East London and as for the snow, its a rough mixture of pva glue, skull white paint, baking soda and GW snow flock mixed into a rough paste...no real ratio recipe, just whatever feels right!

MaveriK Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Beautiful army! great video also. I love the yellow, it works well with your color scheme. Your vehicles are very nice! I'm jealous, my favorites are your three Rhino's and the Land Raider. Everything else is spectacular, but I think my only critique is your triplets. A little too much excess bling on the back packs on your three Rune Priest, it takes away from their staffs.

Tsavong Lah Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Great army. I love the vehicles! And I still want to know how you do your washes—mine streak like hell on large flat surfaces.

Schertenleib Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Now that is SHARP! Love the touch with the drop pod icons. I may steal that.

Quannum Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 @Maverik: Thanks man...a very interesting thought regarding the triplets because I'd had the same concern. I may remove the bling from the backpack yet and replace with some wolf pelts or something like that. Any ideas from the king of bits conversions? :rolleyes: @TsavongLah: Thank you too! Washes are achieved using a 3:1 mixture of GW inks mixed with Klaxo/Klear floor polish which breaks surface tension on painted surfaces, and leaves a clear finish. I paint this into recesses and then highlight up. I also use Army Painter Dark Tone Quickshade for the same effect. @Shertenlieb: Thanks once again. Steal away, wolf brother!
