Wolf_Lord_Hardrada Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Just a few pics of some WIP models that I wouldn't mind some feedback on, I haven't got round to taking many more photos and these three were the only ones I was happy sharing, but please, ideas/suggestions/constructive slandering. First up, Wolf Guard shoulder pad with...some kind of linework decal. Wolf Guard with fish scale line work Long Fang Sgt with a pretty base?

Dantay VI Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 The base on the long Fang sergeant is excellent I like the knot work on the the first Wolf Guard. Looks painted rather than a decal, which is a massive thumbs up. Reminiscent of the wyrm design from HH7: Inferno used by 30K space wolves. I am curius why you went with red nd gold rather than the traditional yellow and black? Fish scae also looks okay, coul almost pass for a dragon scale pattern Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338993-opinions-wip-space-yips/#findComment-4875896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassill Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Coming along nicely. My only suggestions would be a wash of some sort to get into those armor crevices. They really do add a level of depth to models, and fairly simple and quick. The only other thing is just my own personal taste, and that is to paint the base itself (the rim) a different color. It just bothers me for some reason when they are the same as the main armor color. But again, that's just a personal thing. And bravo doing some freehand. I've been putting that off for a long while... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338993-opinions-wip-space-yips/#findComment-4875943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_Lord_Hardrada Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 Thanks chaps. Yes it is hand painted, painted and redone about 3 times before I was happy with it! I went with red/gold because I love the Anglo-Saxon gold and red garnet jewellry from Sutton Hoo, and one of our old Codex' the guy on the front had loads on his shoulders. I didn't get any of the HH FW books but yeah I really should see what other little details I can find from them. I really should put a wash on, probably before I do any more basing...Don't want to darken them too much though so not sure what to use. I'm going to give the bases a go over with chaos black, just on the rims, maybe a squad marker on the back so I know who is who. Only reason its the same colour atm is because of the sprayed base coat.

Kassill Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) That's what I figured. And if you're worrying about washes darkening, just thin them a bit until you get the right look. Too much or unthinned and it will mute colors.
