ge I'm on the hunt for the muted grey space wolf armour. The studio blue armour is cool but i dont think it really does justice to the HQ characters.

A little help would be awesome. Cheers in advance all.

I use a Vallejo Dark Grey Blue, wash with black, rehighlight with DGB, then highlight with a mix of DGB and a lighter grey if neccessary.

I've painted my spacewolf with a basecoat of citadel Russ Grey, followed by a coat of citadel Fenrisian Grey, then shaded the recesses with a wash mixed from two parts vallejo Pale Grey to one part vallejo Blue Shade. 'Soft' armour (like joints) is done with a Nuln Oil wash over Russ Grey. Not sure if the result might be too blue for you, you can see what it looks like here.

Looks good dude. But im after grey not blue. I want the sort of grey stone look.

Thanks . There's an awesome grey Space Wolf at the start of this thread that might be the kind of colour you're after.

I painted my wolves in a quite grey style using the fang as a basecoat, shade the recesses with drakenhof nightshade, layer with dawnstone and highlight with administratum grey. For HQs and sergeants I also highlight the edges with ceramite white.

Do you have any pics please chap? Would love to see how they turn out.

I used Halfords grey primer.

Still just a WIP.

Here's my version.

It has a brown undercoat with a vurmin fur dry brush some washes drybrush again with lighter grey tones and the trims are done with a base of karak stone and bleached bone (or what it is called today) highlight. Used black- / dark redish shoulderpads and ice blue as the alt color.
