paint color question

Recommended Posts

heya,

i dont walk these halls very much (kinda feel like the guy from the spacewolf story wandering around the fang after he was "rescued" )

anyways i have a few boxes of wolves that i was going to start painting but didnt want to use GW's colors so im asking the wulfen community here if this color(see below)would look good on wolf armor and vehicles.

cheers mithril

Personally, I like mine a little darker gray, but I guess that could work too. On the first page of the following thread there is a paint chart showing possible mixtures.

It is a pretty close match to the colour scheme of my Wolves. I am not a very patient person (bandages on my fingers can attest to my tendency to cut corners) so I picked up some of the $1 grey spray paint from Walmart and based my Wolves with that color. One of the guys at FromtheWarp uses the same thing. (http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-i-prime-my-models.html) It lacks the faint blue hue of your scheme but it has a similar tone. Looks good to me. I always felt the current blue used by GW for the SW doesn't really fit the Chapter. With the Dark secondary color you used on the wings I think it looks plenty wolfy!

I use it on mine. It looks a bit different in my pics, but that's due to my bad picture taking skills combined with bad lighting.

Your best source other than what our brothers here can feed you would be from the IA book from forgeworld that features him and his company fighting (eldar?)
