Alrighty, here's my promised armor tutorial:

http://minisfromvalhall.blogspot.com/2010/01/weathered-wolvesfinally.html


Comment if you enjoyed it ^^,

Will have a few models up shortly....I hope

Don't like the face on the first Ghunter, it kind of makes him look like a member of Kiss

Other paint is very nice, sculpt is great as usual.

Keep them coming mate - love the corpse paint on the bare faced model!

I've been kicked off my painting desk by my girlfriend at the moment, but I can't complain as she's kicked me off to paint my Wraithlord

Suffice to say, we're rather impressed - the GS work is still as impressive as when I first saw it. Keep up the good work!

Cheers matey!

And here comes another update:

Alrighty, I've had the apartment for myself Saturday -Monday (that's right, the "vacation" isn't over yet ^^,) and thus I've enjoyed some great live metal DVDs (Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy, Vital Remains, etc.) while painting.

These guys are almost done (well, like 70% done at least )

Oh and I'd love some input on what color I should use for my plasma coils on these guys.
I've used green for my Black Legion, Blue for my Ultramarines and I'm thinkin' a bright orange for these guys, but I'm concerned about the amount of red/reddish colors on them already, will it be too much (seeing as they already have red eyes, red shoulder pads and red on the backs of the pelts as well as on the gems) ?









Comments and Criticism is always wanted and greatly appreciated!

Amazing job, the two guys uptop have the same pose though which made me go, ahhhhhhh i see what you did there. But i love the armor color and the rune priests face.

hehe yeah I know these guys look pretty much the same, but they we're randomly chosen out of my 15 models to paint (first batch) and it just so hapened that they got picked

Alrighty, got my "lightbox" correctly set up and finished 2 out of the 3 wolves today, the last guy have only the face and hair left so he'll be finished by tomorrow



















Input is, as always, greatly appreciated

Cheers

Nice, really liking the source lighting effects.

Looking good... I really like the blood on tha bases... Something I might have to try for my WoC!

These are utterly awesome. If I remember rightly theres a company that does Brass Etch Runes out their on the internet somewhere the names Secret Arts or something like this which may help you.

I already have been in quite a contact with them, and have one set of runes already (they were extremely accomodating and veeeeery helpful, best customer service I've experienced in a LOOOONG time!)

Will be getting a set of their runed stone bases as well to do a review of (I will of course snow-cover parts of them )

I like most of the OSL, but the eyes are a bit overdone IMHO. Each to their own though

The armour, head conversions and OSL on the plasma pistol all looks great. The lenses on the other hand...

One more complete, I need to add pupils though, but I lack a brush small enough to do the job :(

This remains my favourite Space Wolves army of all time. Perhaps it's your Swedish heritage, but all of your models have that true, fierce Viking character that a real Space Wolf should. They're far more true to the fluff than the ones GW shows us.

Cheers, and now for something out of the ordinary...

So... I know this is out of the ordinary but since I'm going to take part in a duals tournament with my pal Dennis over at: minisofdeath.blogspot.com very soon at GW Stockholm and my wolves aren't anywhere even remotely close to done (as you all can attest to ) I will be playing with my tabletop standard Ultramarine army (I painted this army about 10 years back, and I started with Ultras back in the 2nd edition when I was just a juve so don't go bashing on me for having kept with my chapter all this time ;P).

I needed a Chapter Master armed with nothing but a normal CC weapon and a bolt pistol, which none of my HQ's had (I'm not used to playing only 750p games ) I went out and bought Sicarus, because he screams Ultramarines.

My original plan was to make him tabletop standard, but I failed quite large when I realised I spent quite some time on the head alone, so not the entire model had to be painted to a good standard, but I figured that since there's both B&C's and GW Stockholm's painting comps. coming up real soon I might as well paint him nice and add him to my line-up of competing models

This was my first go at NMM (Having not read any guides on it either), he will have golden NMM shoulder pads, a crimson red/decorated tan cape and white ropes when done on top of what's painted now. Might also add some freehand on the cape.

Since this is my first NMM model ever, comments and critisism are greatly appreciated on this one.

Thanks for looking, comment/subscribe/follow if you enjoy my stuff.
PS. I love doing tutorials, so if you have any questions on how I do stuff, please, ask









Cheers!

More ultrasmurfs (sorry, he will be completed soon so I can pick up working on my wolves, I promise )

Did my final work on the NMM;



And I did work on the cape as well (the blodgyness have been taken care of, some was actually miscast "bubbles" which I had to scrape off and repaint) I've also added a red wash to bind the colors together better after the pic was taken;

I can't believe you've never done NMM before. Esp. the sheath looks damn smooth! Minor point here - the bright lines on the pistol looks a taaaad glassy. Just one man's opinion!

How did you do the cape? Looks drybrushed... and great! Do you just happen to have a 3 cm broad brush and go at it?

The cape is layered, MANY thin layers, starting at about 5:1 mix of scab red:chaos black black and working my way up to pure blazing orange (on a pure scab red base over black primer).

My pal Dennis warned me about doing NMM, he claimed you'd get hooked, and darn it he was right xD

I had never tried NMM before this model, and I think I could've done the gold even better if I had practiced on less complicated models before

Man I wish I was as good as that! *is jealous of any and all of your skills*

Wow great looking stuff. My only complaint is the skin on the space wolves. The models look great, and I love th glowing red eyes but the skin doesn't live up tot eh rest of the model.

I completely agree
Skin is something I fear painting (great to start a viking-inspired wolves army then huh ;P)

I think that as long as it remains constant, then it wont look too bad, but I agree it does look a little pale...but hey...not everyones perfect *sighs a sigh of relief that Mullers not perfect*

Love the maurader arms on the scouts. My partner is getting Space Wolves lucky guy and im the one who will have to paint them, inbetween the Iron hands and 1k sons.

Pale is what I do want for these guys though, seeing as when you spend so much time in darkness (it's a freakin' snow storm planet) their skin won't be so pink-ish and def. not tanned...

Damn you and your counter arguments...but so true

Good grief thats beautiful!

Alrighty, I got a bit off track for a while with school, and some new PC games hitting the market, etc.

but now I've managed to finish my Ultramarine chapter master (the night before the tourney starts.... -_- ).

here he is (and now I can go back to my wolves )

What do you use for the snow?

PVA glue, skull white, water and bicarbonate.

I have a guide in my miniature blog linked here in my signature.
