I have recently started a space wolves army on crusade, probably for armageddon (1st war) they are battered and mud covers their lower limbs, i would love feed back and constructive coments to help me improve on the army

Looking awesome the mud is very realistic, one tip that I would sugest is painting the edging/highlightning a bit thinner.

your highlights are really harsh and extreme.
try to either lighten up the base colour or tone down your highlights.
they are really thick as well, so try thinning them down. to make them thin try to water down the paint and highlight with the edge of the brush rather than the point.

Thanks guys, one of the reasons the highlights looks so harsh is i got the paint sceme out of the WD and i messed the colours up a bit and the wash was way to dark but i liked it, so i kept it, ill keep it mind to thin the paint down when doing my long fangs though

I will post more pictures soon

Nice to see another wolf army. Nothing to add that hasn't been said already, except that you can always straigten out your highlights by applying some of the base color. 1mm is wide enough. Or, you could try painting over your highlights and drybrushing. Anyways, lets see those longfangs!

I wouldn't highlight on vehicles, it not only takes time but also can look quite unrealistic, if you do a light drybrush of the highlight colour then it looks really good and also gives the lighter shade to break up the mini a bit...

Keep it up tho, bit of work and they'll look really nice

Thanks guys, ill be posting Canis next, ive nearlly finnished the Thunder wolf, i have taken your tips about the highlighting onboard

Right here are some more pics, some are still WIP and will be finnsihed in the near future

That is pretty good as your first attempt at freehand, well done

I plan to do a banner with Logan written above the wolf head, do you have any tips, and should i do the geometric design on the other side of the back as well or not?

Right i havent posted recently as i have been to busy, but here is the next instalment of the space wolves, a Dreadnought, he can be a normal dreadnought, venrable or Bjorn fellhand when needed. The other fist will be converted into a lightling claw style arm
