Let me know what you all think. This is the rough start of the Space Wolf paint theme.

1st one finished:

Not bad. What are you going to do for the shoulder pads?

Lookin slick. What are you gonna do for basing?

The shoulder pads are gonna just be a dirty white and for the basing I was thinking of getting snow flakes and just glue them on there.

No squad colors/markings?

Nah. My hands shake too much from PTSD to get that much detail on them.

Looking good, nice and subdued colours. For the shoulders, have you considered a dark red or similar, it might add a bit more contrast to the model.

Go with a solid color then and do basic geometrics. I do crappy freehand and manage triangles, stripes, etc for each squad.

I'd try black and yellow hazard stripes. I imagine it'd look really good with the Space Wolf grey-blue.

I always liked the white on the shoulders along with the Space Wolf gray color. I found this combo out on WK 40k Space Marine game. Thanks for all of the input so far!

Updated with the Sargent:

These look awesome dude. The muted colour scheme with the lack of tiny details really brings out the primal in them. Good stuff.

Out of curiosity (wink wink), how are you doing the armour/whites?

They look great, really like the dieted down white.

The armor is just flat Space Wolf Grey with Nulin Oil wash. Once the wash dries, I dry brush white onto the model. Same with the whites.

Rune Priest. I wanted to try to make his power weapon look like a frost weapon just because I like the look, and to my surprise, it came out quite well!
