Gareth Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Ok, so i thought i'd use the old mk3 mini i had to test a new way of painting sw armour i'd decided on. Its quicked and neater, and in my opinion looks a lot better. Could'nt use the sculpted pads i normally do so had to freehand it, came out very well. So not having painted a space wolf grey mini in around a year, here he is. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Gareth_tyranids/SA400187.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91245-grey-hunter-pic/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Wow very cool. I love seeing the old Marines painted up fresh! You do a great job with freehand markings, don't be afraid to throw in some campaign icons or personal heraldry around your armor. You certainly don't need to rely on sculpted details :wink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91245-grey-hunter-pic/#findComment-1049167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeothar Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Well, judging from this work, your old method is probably still very good; very nice mini indeed! :wink: And I'm not saying this because I love old minis either; your grey's quite vibrant. I think a how to is in order here... :wub: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91245-grey-hunter-pic/#findComment-1049177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Ha! good old mkII. You paint it very, very well :) He is quite short by modern plastic marine standards IIRC. how about a comparison shot? cheers -t14 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91245-grey-hunter-pic/#findComment-1049240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Djibril Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Very nice paint job. If that's the quick version, I can only imagine what the slower version is like. I'm also jealous of that old Mk. III model. I really wish I could get my hands on one. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91245-grey-hunter-pic/#findComment-1049244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'm also jealous of that old Mk. III model. I really wish I could get my hands on one. Is that mkIII? :) I was under the impression that it was crusader armour that has the "skullcap top" for the helmet with the rim around the head. The helmet of my mkIII models don't have that rim, but my mkII minis do! I'm confused :) cheers -t14 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91245-grey-hunter-pic/#findComment-1049249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Cool! I love those freehand shoulder pads! Lovely painted armour to. And, is that the regular GW grass on the base? - I just thinks it looks longer and with more variance... Keep up the good work! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91245-grey-hunter-pic/#findComment-1049259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Actually, I believe that is static grass... I don't know what it is exactly, but I've seen it used to that effect before...

littlbitz Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Absolutey Fantastic!!!! I too would love a quick how-to with the armor. I'm always looking for new ways to paint Space Wolves.

Penitent Dreadnought Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 How can they no simply redo these old armor designs in new molds? It's blasphemy I tell you! Oh yes, the paint job really brings out the nostalgia value of the mini. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91245-grey-hunter-pic/#findComment-1049281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 That is one excellent Grey Hunter. Although i started well and truly after alot of these minis ended their "life" its nice to see the paint job has really done them justice. A very crisp and clean paint job, with excellent attention to detail. A fantastic job Gareth ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/91245-grey-hunter-pic/#findComment-1049364 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused :D cheers -t14 Yeap, it's the orgainl MK III figure with the arms attached to the body as 1 cast - Linky to armor history with a good pic 1/2 way down Your MK III is the 2nd version, supplied with pastic arms. As for the OP, very nice Space Wolf, the grey is perfect. It looks like he steps off the pages of the Horus Heresy art books.
