It all started with a box of space wolves.

Some snow bases were made, then the models were assembled and assigned their bases

Second step was preparing the heads

Packs galore

Lovely work so far. Can't wait to see them finished.

Space Wolf sez:

Come 'n git me!

And now that the test model is done for color scheme I can go on and paint all of them

And this time around I wrote down what colors were used

Looks good might I suggest some more highlights other that this its nice.

Nice Combi-Melta conversion!

I would instead suggest more shading, especially on the shoulder pads, because with these bright colours highlights will not help adding depth, but shading will.

I will definitely work on some more shading. I also need to work on the basecoat paint itself since its a bit too thick to my liking. Guess I should dish out for some proper miniature-ready paint than using generic crafts acrylics

How's this for shading?

Many Many grey hunters (WiP so there is no shading yet anywhere yet)

Already taking shape.

Few more touches and a lot of shading, and done

These look great so far, have you got any more units planned?

They look much better for the shading. If you are having trouble with the paint being to thick, water it down. It is said to water it down to the consistency of milk. This flows of the brush easily, but you need to do a vouple of coats, but you are less likly to loose details I was skeptical to begin with but i ahve found it much better and more rewarding as the end product looks better.

Quite a few. I need around 15 more grey hunters, two more wolf guard in power armor, 10 long fangs, 5 wolf guard terminators, and then one land raider, three rhinos, two razorbacks and two speeders

Thanks for the tip. I will make sure to add it to the arsenal (these basecoats were done in about 5 layers due to paint being watered down for instance, and even the iyanden darksun on the weapons was watered down and required 3 coats)

I agree with M0rdain. Thinning down the paint and doing multiple coats will increase the look of your models ten-fold.

This is how they look completed

Some wolf guard terminators got themselves a layer of primer

How's this for a basecoat?

Not much work done except layering some yellow and blending in the blue and white on power weapons

Some more colors layered down, specifically golds, reds, beginning of browns, and the faces

All ready for oil colors. I'm especially proud of the reds on the cloak

More space wolves in the works:

1. Long Fang squad, fully magnetized with all weapon options, inluding 4 missile launchers
2. lone wolf in terminator armor with dual wolf claws
3. Arjac Rockfist
4. Wolf Guard with power hammer and storm shield
5. Wolf guard with combi melta and power fist.

More WiP.

Is there a point to upload more since no one seems to comment?

More wolves in the queue

From left to right:

lucas, runepriest, ulric, ragnar, njal, rune priest termi, logan

in the back is canis, and some banner bearers

Did I miss an HQ/Named? (except Arjac who is already painted)

It's been a while since I had time for these nice models

Here is Canis all pimped up. The rest of the bare metal models from the previous post are almost ready. Pics will follow.
