SW1 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'm close to finishing my 1st vow but have hit a bit of a problem. How to paint black fur on my Ragnar without it looking grey or not highlighted at all. Anyone got any ideas or tips to help me out?

Commissar Volker Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Black with a very dark grey dry brush highlight. i mix black and shadow grey together for the highlight.

Wulfebane Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Basecoat of skavenblight dinge or dawnstone. Wash with nuln oil (multiple coats as desired). Watered down black for a richer black undercoat. Drybrush with above basecoats if some highlighting is lost due to the wash pooling heavily in areas. Examples: (I went back in and highlighted mine because they were too dark for my tastes.) 1 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276924-painting-up-black-fur/#findComment-3395033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 If you can get the WD issue with the Wolves on the cover that was for the TWC release, they have a painting tutorial in there for fur.

Deathscream Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I used Fortress grey as a base color, washed it with the black wash and then went back with a 1/1 black grey mixture to highlight and then a very light black dry brush on the deeper recesses. I don't have a camera handy for a photo, sorry.

I've got an extensive back catalogue of WD's so will have a shufty. I'd forgot about that article. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276924-painting-up-black-fur/#findComment-3395159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
