Skip2a Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I have finished my first attempt at painting 40k models. I have completed a box of Grey Hunters. I do not like the powder blue or grey paint schemes that I see on most models so I have modified mine a little. I used Vallejo Metallic Artic Blue as a base coat airbrushed over Vallejo black primer and dry brushed with Citadel Lead Belcher. I am please with the first attempt. I have a Fenrisian Wolf box and Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf almost finished. I went with a red base for the Fenrisian's and a grey black for the Thunderwolf. I will post images when they are completed. For some reason I can't post images or links here; my computer just locks up when I try? I have posted some images on my blog that I use for painting (I do model kit and other product reviews for the Michigan Toy Soldier store, I have just completed my second article for them). My blog is at yellowhorsemini.blogspot.com Feedback on the overall appearance would be appreciated.

Guest Triszin Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Looks like your painting them similar to the 13th company during the eye of terror campaign.

Vykryl Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Your models look similar to Rune Priest Rhapsody's Wolves, except yours are shiny. Nice looking pack you have.

hammer grimblood Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The pack markings look great! I'm super jealous of the wolf head outline on the shoulderpad. My outlines never turn out like that. I love Wolves with the dark grey scheme as opposed to the baby blue GW likes.

Skip2a Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thank you for the feedback. I was trying to make them unique; unfortunately I didn't see any of the 13th company or the Rhapsody ones. They look shiny do to my lighting and camera flash. I have sprayed them with dull-coat but the flash being so close gives them a shiny appearance in the picts. I wasn't sure what to do with the shoulder pad wolf head. I had planned on painting it solid black but decided to outline it first. I figured if that failed I could always fill it in. I used a Reaper 10-0 brush and Vallejo gloss black for the runes and outlines. It seems to flow better on small items than the regular black does. For my historical models I always wash after all of the detail is finished. On these I did the opposite and sprayed the base, shaded with a dark blue (Citadel drakenshade or something like that) and dry brushed with the Lead Belcher. I painted all of the gold items brass first and then used Vallejo Liquid Gold. I hope my wolves come out ok. These are my first true try of doing animal fur. Thanks again for the feedback.
