Hello!
I'm new to the site, and lookin for some info! I have a Space Wolves army that I absolutely love in gameplay, but I cannot find a color that looks right on the models. Can someone help me out? I'd like to see a few examples of what y'all have done with them :O) Thanks ya!

Well, I don't have any pictures, but my wolves look a lot like the ones in the dex, and my recipe is simple.

50/50 Space wolves grey/ Shadow grey
Wash Badab black
Go over armor plates with 50/50 mix, leaving recesses shaded
Line highlight Space Wolves grey

Ill get some pictures up later to give you a better picture.

awesome, thank you. i had mixed the shadow and SW grey together and didnt like the outcome, but the wash is just the touch it needs! thank you

Hey dude, check my space wolves if you like the colour pm for the colour recipe

I believe the current studio mix is 50/50 shadow/adeptus battlegrey for the basecoat.

Maybe some thing like these..??

Two options - first for a more stone grey than a blue-grey

Adeptus battlegrey - codex grey (leaving recesses, etc) and then wash black, retouch. Gives a nice colour.

The other I have done is adeptus battlegrey - lightly but thoroughly drybrush boltgun metal - maybe mixed with a bit of black if you want that irondust look - then wash blue or black depending on preference - looks like greyish steel, or gunmetal, rather than painted. Otherwise, see the above pictures. I rather like the 2nd picture, one on the left
