ron Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 As a long time Dark Angels player, it stings a little bit when I paint Space Wolves... maybe it's because of the rivalry or maybe because they are so cool looking. Either way, I tried my hand at painting a Space Wolf with the real light grey armour the other day and wanted to share it here with some folks who might appreciate it. I did do a bit of a tutorial with the post on my blog and that can be found here. Enjoy the pics!

Blacksad Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 vry nicely done. the only thing I'd change is the left shoulderpad, since I prefer skulls and bones to have a bleached bon-like colour, and those stripes (or the band surrounding it) more bronze-y. but that's just a personal preferance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245087-space-wolf-terminator-in-light-grey-armour/#findComment-2963937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulvenblut Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 What a great work, well done! Maybe a little darker would be better, and like Blacksad I prefer bones to have a bone-like colour. I checked your blog. You have good stuff in there.

Grimdarkness Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Looks good the wolves look good in "grey" power armour. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245087-space-wolf-terminator-in-light-grey-armour/#findComment-2963960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schertenleib Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Very nice! I think the lighter grey combined with the snowy base gives it more of a cold feel. The darker grey would have seemed warmer. Might be an impression of "frost" tinting the grey armor. Love the "red maw" on the terminator honor. Thou I will have to agree with my brothers that the skull should be bone. Like all the other skulls on the armor. I can understand wanting to make the honor different from the other skulls though.

Kassill Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 He looks great! Though personally I would do his armor like you've done the Terminator Honor. Be sure to post more if you have any! :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245087-space-wolf-terminator-in-light-grey-armour/#findComment-2964018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coverfire Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I like the contrasting Greys, they work well together; but I can see a little Deathwing trying to work itself in there :lol: and I like the left shoulder pad. I too would usually go for the bleeched bone look but it was got a little 'Bloodied Hunter' thing going on and I like it. The rust and damage effects are simplistic and not overdone which is very to get wrong.

appiah4 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 What you describe as 'grey' is pretty much exactly how I would want to paint white (maybe with one further highlight to what you achieved). I'll check the tutorial as soon as I have time. Great work as always Ron.

Max_Dammit Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 and I like the left shoulder pad. I too would usually go for the bleeched bone look The Crux Terminatus is made of stone in most cases so the gray look is perfect.

Forté Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Nice 'how to' on the other site. Always are from you. The others have said what I was going to anyway. Do like the red maw on the Crux but its not quite the Bran Redmaw you stated you were trying in the article. What grey did you use BTW? You dart its a primer so is that the Valljeo one?

ron Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks guys! I know what some of you mean about the bone color on the crux. I decided to keep it dark grey for the "stone" look if you will and to give it a little contrast to the light colored armour. forte: The primer is your basic stuff from Walmart. I included a picture of it in the bottom of my blog post to show what it looks like exactly along with the bottle color I use for touch-ups.

Forté Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Bugger. Don't get that in the UK. Still trying to match the Halfords grey spray I use.

BrotherRanik Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 This Looks amazing, love the details all around the model and especially the wolf icons. Great link, going to use a lot of the techniques he goes through on my own models.
