Nubster Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Trying to figure out how to start painting my wolves...I don't want to do the standard power blue...I like grey but that seems to be the standard alternative. I tried metallic and I really like the look but as pointed out on a Fb post...does have a Grey Knight vibe. I haven't added any wolfy bits yet to definitely say...this is a Space Wolf, not a GK. Just wanted to share the paint scheme and see who else is doing non-traditional paint schemes.

Ahistorian Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I can't actually see your picture - have you considered the tiger stripe Space Wolf camo from Rogue Trader?

Jorin Helm-splitter Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I really like the paint scheme (and the mini), I sorta get the grey knight comparison but I think it has more to do with them being seen as the metallic paint chapter. I think adding a space wolf style pack marking would help people associate them with wolves from the start.

PeteySödes Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Im rocking a lighter heresy grey style atm. I plan to keep the semi traditional pack marking colors though!

ranulf the revenant Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Another idea might be contrast paint (basilicanum grey for example) over metallic ☺? Might be worth a try... There's nothing wrong with your scheme though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366300-non-traditional-paint-schemes-lets-seeem/#findComment-5595894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Vykryl bid a metallic scheme, but the washes did a nice job of dullng it down a little and got a nice metal grey. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295375-vykryls-great-company-wip/?do=findComment&comment=3781013 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366300-non-traditional-paint-schemes-lets-seeem/#findComment-5595919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Danjou Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 As soon as you do pack-markings and add some pieces of fur, runes, or other tidbits that are associated with the wolves, that mini will not be mistaken for a GK. Just by having a couple minis with space wolf heads will make them recognizable as a wolf pack. My scheme is not that uncommon as it is more of the HH colour. But here is a hellblaster pack without any other changes but the heads.

Dantay VI Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Vykryl did the armour with game color gunmetal with a wash of nuln oil. He said that leadbelcher just went darker, but the gamecolor went more of a flat color.
