Grizzly Adams Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Well, I see a lot of posts about "what color" or "how would this shade of grey look" topics, so I thought "what if there was a thread that had everyone here post a picture of one of their models, then underneath type the paints/techniques used to achieve that color. This is not a showcase, a show of, or a "how's this look" thread. The goal here is to have a useful thread people can see all the different varieties of greys to aid them in their selection. Lets keep questions/comments off this thread, so all we have is a Space Wolf Grey encyclopedia for people to look through before they paint their armies, that way they can draw inspiration and save some time on test models! If we get everybody to participate, maybe we can get this stickied for future whelps to peruse and enjoy!

Billy Butcher Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I know it's a big ask but it would help if people included a piece of white card in the shot, so that if people wanted to they could white balance the image to kind of calibrate them.

MaveriK Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 someone needs to do a white undercoat and then grey base coat, there is a difference using the white compared to the black primer.
