Work on the first part of the Stormwolf continues, this time I did weathering on it:

Excellent weathering!

[+Grimdark Prince Adam+]

Thanks! It will be even better visible when I do proper pictures when I finish the whole model. In the background you may find my reference model, a very nicely painted and weathered Stormgrrrr ;)

Some further work done:

Looking Good ace job on the Terminators.

[+Grimdark Prince Adam+]

Thanks deathspectersgt7! (where do you people come up with these nicks? )

Meanwhile, I finished painting the right side of the Stormgrrr, now I have a good feel how to paint the whole boat.

Looking good. Your weathering is spot on. Its enough to make me seriously consider changing my color scheme to a lighter shade. I only have two models painted so far... Njal and a contemptor. Used eshin grey and its quite dark over a black base coat. I am not sure my skill set is good enough to pull off what you have done but such a dark shade makes it even tougher. Now to decide if I want to end up repainting them lol.... damn your painting ability.

Excellent weathering. What did you use for reference, or was it just a case of seeing how it developed as you went along? I can't wait to see the completed model, and as others have said, your work is inspirational.

Thanks Argyle! I thought quite a bit what to reply to you, and here is what I came up with: if you like something you are doing, do it! Don't change it, do it! Please remember it took me several SW minaitures to even start doing weathering, and I also repainted my first Grey Hunter several times to get what i wanted. However, if you are convinced you are doing something wrong - cut on the losses and change it immediately.

I am sure you saw a bazilion SW minis on the internet painted in the lighter tone and still you chose the eshin grey tone. I am not convinced that is to be changed just because you saw mine or anyone else's painting. I am sure you can also find a great way to do all kind of cool stuff with your current style, but learning takes time ;) So give it just that and continue what you like.

Thanks Brother! I used this as reference:

The developing stage was way back on the rhino you can find in my plog, when i was discovering weathering. Here I decided beforehand what style of weathering I want and the StormGrrr in the link above suited my needs the best as reference. And thanks for the motivating words :)

Thanks for that link.

Now waiting patiently for the next stage of your work - you are doing the Allfather proud

[+Grimdark Prince Adam+]

Hey! And thanks Brother, I'm always trying my best

I'm working on the hull currently, but with such a big model, I needed a little change, so I started working

on the 3rd Lone Wolf. Here is the WIP pic, with a comparison of the other 2, which I use as reference:

Hey guys,

I'm just putting a very nice and easy tutorial I found, so that I don't lose it, I think some of you might also need it

Of course, this is not my tutorial, just something I found on my FB, all props go to an unknown by me painter.

[+Grimdark Prince Adam+]

Hey Guys,

 

I haven't had much time lately for the hobby, but I'm slowly working on a few minis. And here's a question - inspired a bit with the use of Baharoth Blue in the new Adeptus Mechanicus GW armies, I used it for the plasma weapon in the following way:

What do you guys think? As some might remember, the crouching skyclaw was already finished, but I repainted his plasma gun as well.

[HighGothic]

It looks pretty good, gives a feeling of heat

[GrandMagnus]

Man Ive completely missed this thread. Im usually not called by space wolves but those terminators are just amazing.

[LutherMax]

I used that effect on the plasma pistol of my Mephiston - kind of reverse of the 'traditional' way. I like it, I think it makes more sense like that and looks like the heat is emanating from inside. You've done a great job of it!

[+Grimdark Prince Adam+]

Thanks guys, as always additional motivation to do and finish stuff :)

 

LutherMax - could you post your Mephiston here or send the direct link to him? I'd like to take a look.

[Rune_Priest_Rhapsody]

Great pose on the kneeling Skyclaw!! Love it!!

 

And the plasma effect certainly looks good!! Care to share the process you used??

 

End of Line

[+Grimdark Prince Adam+]

Thanks!

 

The recipe is quite easy to do: paint the plasma coil with Baharoth Blue, then wash it with a very diluted (with lahmian medium) white, then drybrush it with Baharoth Blue. If necessary, a little of the diluted white again here and there. And that's it!

[LutherMax]

I can't post the image directly here from my phone but here is a link to Meph on my blog:

Nice one! I really like the power sword to, great job!

[LutherMax]

Thank you! I recently completed another version which is better, but doesn't show the plasma effect as well.

Ok, I got back again to painting Space Wolves after a few beasties, and here is a WIP of a Blood Claw (doing 2 at the same time), done the shading of the legs so far and am thinking if it's "sharp" enough.

[Charlo]

That shading is wonderful. It looks real. Imo, ceramite isn't particularly shiny so the muted shine you have works well.

[helterskelter]

I second charlo, beautiful shading and highlighting. I really like the grey you've got going on
