jbaeza94 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hello guys, I'm starting a new chapter, and would some help with what colors to use! I was looking for a dark gray along the line of stormwivern fur. I was guessing a black primer and stormwivern for base. ... but then what for highlights? Or should I use a different color for base? Thank you all in advanced! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314956-need-help-with-painting-gray/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassill Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I use Mechanicus Standard Grey as the base for Wolves, which appears to be the base version of Stormvermin. I could be wrong though, just judging from pictures online. For armor I do:Black base Mech Grey Dawnstone highlights (that's the new Codex Grey right?)and then a light black wash (cannot remember name) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314956-need-help-with-painting-gray/#findComment-4202491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 That would give a gray more like preheresy space wolves wouldn't it? I'm looking more for a word bearers/iron warriors dark And you are right about dawnstone. Here's a nifty chart I use http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart *Edit* sorry had my colors confused. That actually looks right on the money!

Kassill Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yeah I prefer natural grays rather than blue/grays GW does.
