Nice paintjob mate, I like the stripes on the cannon the most, but very nice over all!

**Imperial Renegade**

Ugh....Not Fair! I wish my skills were better!

Looks Amazing!

**Marine_With_Heart**

Amazing stuff. I love the Space Wolves and especially models with character. Great job and keep going

**MrMerlin**

Great model mate, I love it!

**El'Johnson**

Im loving your painting style the weathering on the armour looks so clean and effective, hope you dont mind but i'll be having a go at this .

**Elnibbus**

Thanks people!

@El' Johnson, have a go at it as much as you like- the technique is actually in the Eavy Metal Masterclass book so I'm probably not the first to try it

As for updates and ting, I'll be away for the weekend so the Grey Hunters and Long Fangs will have to wait til Monday!

**Faust**

you sir, rule !
keep up the good work i cant wait to se other minis coming up with these painting and modeling job

subscribed !

Oh yeh, I started my Bran Redmaw conversion yesterday- let's just say that Finecast would be preferable over hacking up Gabriel Seth...

**Faust**

Now you just made me curious..

**Elnibbus**

Well there's not really much to see at the moment, not much WIP to take photos of. Just sculpting fur, hair and teeth. I'll have some on Monday.

**Faust**

I'll just wait then

**Northen**

The contemptor turned out great.

If anything to add I personally would paint some vertical brown strikes to add bit weathering.

Waiting to see that Bran Redmaw conversion.

**Capitansolstice**

I love the dynamic posing!

**Elnibbus**

I'm worried that people may be disappointed when I finally finish it! Expectations may be higher than I can achieve lol. It'll be fairly slow progress because of Seth being metal and I'm having to cut up his backpack and cape (sculpting a wolf pelt) plus I'm having to sculpt hair (including plaits), a beard and fangs. Eviscerator is being replaced by an axe.

Nice work on the Contemptor and the Grey Hunters - out of interest, are there any other (finished) elements of the army beyond what you've posted in this thread?

**Elnibbus**

Unfortunately I'm not the world's quickest painter and I've got lots of stuff on- mainly university coursework! As a result, what you see finished on here is what I've managed to get done.

**Dysartes**

Cool - I wasn't sure if you'd finished any before the start of the thread, that's all.

**Tech Guard**

Lovin your stuff!!!
Just a quick question, what mix or wash or paint ECT. are you using to line your recesses?

**Elnibbus**

Thanks! It's a GW Shadow Grey/Scorched Brown mix.

Quick update: spent a couple minutes green-[img]stuffing Bran's pelt. I've got it so that the pelt will hang both beneath the backpack and above it with a wolf's head draped across the top. Work has yet to commence on Bran himself, I think I'll start with filling the gaps in the greaves...

**Elnibbus**

Update on Bran Redmaw, just a bit of green-stuffing here and there:

A full shot of Bran

Side shot of the fangs in the mouth and the hair I've added to the head

I green-stuffed over the Flesh Tearer's symbol, filled in the gaps in the greaves and took off the studs:

I then added some plaits to the hair:

On the other side:

And finally I've bodged an axe together:

So, lemme know what you guys think. I'm still quite a long way off finishing yet, need to green-stuff the cape, by putting claws on the ends and sculpting a wolf head over the backpack.

**MrMerlin**

your most likely awesome images are broken.....

**Elnibbus**

I can't get the fecking things to work- I don't know how.

Got them working now! Woop! ^^

**MrMerlin**

Nice greenstuffing, I'm really liking the hair!

**Ovion**

My recomendation is (if you can be bothered) using a pin or something to score hairlines into the hair, as the braids especially look too bulky to be hair. (looking at it I think they need a little flattening to the head a lil more.

But generally looks great, I'm rather impressed that the fangs don't look out of place.

**Elnibbus**

The hair is yet to be completed, needs some more depth and to be built up between the braids (it's going to be built over the backpack). The chest requires filing down and a wolf tooth necklace put in place- something akin to the one worn by the Wolf Guard with Wolf Claws.

**Faust**

That looks Awesome

just the axe that seems a bit odd to me.. might be because it's not attached to the body.. don't know
yet awesome.

**SelvaggioSaky**

Nice GS work mate, wanna see this done!

**Elnibbus**

@Faust, the axe is by no means done- it requires a lot of fiddling, mainly filling in the gaps between the axe head and the haft and doing extra details.

@Selvaggio Saky, I'd quite like to see it done too but it may take some time!

**Capitansolstice**

wow, that GS work is top notch!
