Wraithwing's Primaris Space Wolves - The Blackmanes

[Wraithwing]

Hi folks,

After a fairly long break from 40K, I decided to paint up a leftover squad of Primaris Assault Intercessors as a bit of a palette cleanser.

Big mistake, I am now planning my 5th Space Wolves army!

Here's my first unit:

This will be a slow burn project in all honestly, as funds are tight currently, and will be Primaris only. Planning a Combat Patrol force of Ragnar, 2x units of Assault Intercessors, and a unit of Bladeguard Veterans.

Currently working on a Primaris Rune Priest.

C&C is, as always, appreciated.

Cheers,

WW

Very nice work indeed.

[Jorin Helm-splitter]

They look really nice, it should be a fun combat patrol as well.

[PeteySödes]

Good looking stuff! Watching with interest. 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Fine works. Are they Blood Claws, or Grey Hunters?

[HvitrValdyr]

Stellar paint job!

[Wulf Vengis]

Very nice. Clean and crisp colors. Very nice indeed.

Thanks!

 

They are neither. They are Assault Intercessors.

Bjorn Firewalker might've meant which type of pack they are. Space wolves basically consider the primaris loadouts to fit into roles based on the 3 traditional packs. Assault Intercessors are one of the packs not mentioned in the supplement when they gave examples. It looks like you gave them the claw pack markings which makes sense so basically they're blood claw assault Intercessors.

I don't yet know what the Space Wolves call Primaris infantry units, and I doubt they'll use the same terms a Codex Chapter will use. "'Primaris Eradicators'? They serve the same role as Long Fangs, they'll be known as 'Primaris Long Fangs'. No need to use the foolishly flowery terms that Lord Regent Guilliman favors, as if he's a flower girl promoting produce from her gardens, instead of a warmaster leading an army."

I am aware of all this, but they are not referred to as Blood Claws by the Space Wolves, so that doesn’t fit. They are definitely called Claw packs. Hence why Assault Intercessors works for me.

Yeah, I’m afraid I am too old to be offended by made up names these days, and pretend rivalries, so call them what they are.

The Primaris Space Wolves hype train continues, with a Primaris Rune Priest:

Good job on the Rune Priest.

[Beef]

very nice, I was wondering what that librarian would look like as a SW.  

[Wraithwing]

Picked up Primaris Ragnar Blackmane at the weekend and got him finished today. Absolutely stunning miniature:

I really like your basing if you don't mind me asking what materials are using for it. I'm trying to use a combination of army builder flocks but I'm not happy with the snowy sections. Edited May 27, 2021 by Jorin Helm-splitter

I use GWs texture paints. So Stirland Mud, drybrushed with Steel Legion Drab and Karak Stone, with a wash of Agrax Earthshade. Then GWs Middenland Tufts, and then finally, GWs Valhallan Blizzard snow. 

[Jorin Helm-splitter]

Thanks, do you use their texture tool? I've messed with texture paints but getting layers that thin has evaded me so far.

I use the grey plastic 'spudger' tool that comes with GWs sculpting tool set. So a flat spade on one end, and a thin spade on the other. 

[Jorin Helm-splitter]

Cool I'll look for something similar thanks

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Young King.

[ranulf the revenant]

Ooooooh... very nice painting so far

[Wraithwing]

After a small hiatus while I completed a commission project, I am back to my Primaris Wolves.

Here's my next unit, Bladeguard Veterans:

I'm quite pleased with how these guys have turned out. I may add a couple more pouches and holsters, but overall, I think these are nearly done.

C&C is, as always, appreciated.

[HvitrValdyr]

Saw these on Facebook, they are really well done.

[Valerian]

Lovely stuff, all around.
