I'm using a more standard colour grey myself:

Personally I like the deep grey blue colour like in the picture on the cover of the codex. Especially compared to the gw baby blue scheme.

Paint on the face is a little thick mate. I use Folk Art 949 Skintone, with a 1-1 mix with good ole tap water. 1-2 coats then wash with Riekland Fleshshade (or equivilant) Otherwise looks good man I like the basing. Is it the new GW stuff?

This is the GW stuff. Its Astrogranite (Texture/Base) Agrax Earthshade (Shade/Wash) then Longbeard Grey (Dry Brush Compound.) Not to bad if you ask me, it's great for mass producing TT quality models.

I personally use Vallejo Shadow grey to paint my wolves, as I wanted a slightly darker blue grey than the studio scheme.

It comes out something like this;


You could also try just using a dark grey and do a pre-heresy scheme. It comes out like this:

I use grey, gun metal and red and white. No stupid blue to be seen. Personally I like my guys dark.
I base in grey and wash in black then highlight in same grey!
This is just the armour. The other details bring the model into a nice look.

I use a very dark grey, with red for spot colours and various browns/greys for pelts. I basecoat with a grey (very similar to the Dakka background!), wash black, highlight in line grey and then do the dark red and metal areas.

I have always wanted to see more exotic colour schemes for SW. I have been wanting to restart my Space Wolves in a new scheme as I'm getting bored of grey.
