The Night of the Wolf

[Jarl Kjaran Coldheart]

I kinda hate you right now.

 

In a good way...totally.

 

Keep up the awesome work.

[Dantay VI]

Son of a gun.

Honest to god, I am feeling very conflicted right now.

Are they pre-made stencils or did you make them wourself?

How?

Seriously.

I hsve spent several years doing knotwork on my tanks & had a bad etl basically botching 6 of them, plus it takes me ages to do mine, so any advice o the stencils would be so much appreciated right about now..

I wanna know as well.

 

I got a lot of empty space on my Spartans that need prettying up

Haha i already mentioned this is Dantay, but i caved and bought a Stencil/cutting machine on amazon. Its under 200 and its easy to set up and use. Well worth the money. I highly recommend one

[Dantay VI]

I checked Amazon uk and its 50% more expensive with a silly lead time.

 

May invest in it when the wife gets a job.

[Jarl Kjaran Coldheart]

That exists?!

 

I may need to divert some funds out of my vacation savings for this

Could you maybe pm me the link to the cutter you bought, 'cause all the ones I see on amazon are ridiculously expensive.

What weapon is that mk4 outrider holding? A pike? What kit is it from as well?

Same here

It is a pike like weapon ill post more pics. The pike and the three axes all come from AOS dwarfs. Alot of cutting and pinning in the handles and head though

[Dantay VI]

Ah, I use the hammerers/ Longbeard weapons for my Wolves.

[betrayer41]

Got more done on the and raider.

 

It doesn't really have much wash on it. I'm not sure if it's dark enough though. All my troops have a balck wash on them to bring their grey down to a darker color.

 

What would be the best way to was this to make it darker and not have any streaking?

 

Also how should I better weather it to make it look more realistic?

 

And I also got my praetor and first three outsiders primed!

Ps

 

The black track guards will be getting knot work and weathered.

 

Also need to clean up a few things.

 

I am all in all happy with it but would like to take my painting to the next level. Thanks again guys!

[Lord Blackwood]

Looks so clean , really sexy D:    

[Dantay VI]

So jealous.

 

Looking great. You are already way past my level. Can't wait to see you go further.

 

Seeing your work is really spurring me on.

 

Have you tried oils to darken the tank?

 

I personally have never used them but seen quite a few folks like BCK use them to great effect.

[betrayer41]

Thanks i really appreciate that!

 

I use oil washes for my guys but have a hard time washing entire vhicles because it streaks and pools. I haven't really found a good method to was vehicles

[Alkaline]

Sounds like you should try the "pin wash" technique. Basically you apply your oil wash only to the nooks and details that you want to shade. As opposed to an "all over wash" that is typically done on figures. After the mineral spirits evaporate, you can clean up any unintended marks with a q-tip or brush moistened with mineral spirits.

Just google "pin wash" for a better explanation.

 

These wolves are looking fantastic so far!

Would love to see more about your stencil work too. I'm curious enough to get a stencil cutter if I could do something as small as legion symbols on shoulder pads.

 

edit: Actually check out the "Filter" technique if you're looking to darken and tone the overall grey without leaving streaks.

So I got a it more work done.

 

I sprayed the entire thing in thin thin black wash. I finally the color that matches the rest of the army. I left the hatch thing over the thudd cannon the old color so you can see the difference. I am waiting for the rest of my pigments to arrive before I finish it.

 

Also here is my leas outsider bike. Chipping is done but still waiting on pigments. The front will have knotwork on it. Enjoy!

[Dantay VI]

Looking good.

 

Are you doing an inverse scheme on the outriders??

[betrayer41]

Just for that one, the rest are grey with red stripes. They will have shields on the back

[Dantay VI]

Cool. I am sure they will look really snazzy.

I want outriders but I have no idea how effective they are or if Wolves will get them.

[betrayer41]

Here she is! Just gotta highlight/cleanup the knotwork and do the streaking and she'll be done!

[Dantay VI]

Very nice.

 

Vykryl will love that. He is using the tri-horn as his great company symbol.

 

Overall with weathering it looks spectacular.

[ak1508]

Nice work so far mate! may i ask what are these side sponsons on the raider and how can you actually get them? or is it a special upgrade of sort?

[betrayer41]

The whole kit is the landraider Achilles Alpha from forgeworld

Very nice.

Bit more weathering to do. What's a great company?

[Dantay VI]

In 40K the Wolves have 12 companies in their chapter.

They are generically known as great companies.

 

I think in 30K they use the same titles. But each great company has a number. Onn, tra, fyf, dekk etc (1,3,5,7) Ogvai is jarl of Tra. Skarrsen is jarl of fyf. Gunn is jarl of Onn.
