Hey everyone, first post here. I wanted to showcase my Space Wolves army I am currently working on for an escalation league at my local game store. It's been about 2 years since I've painted anything, and until this league started I'd only painted about 5 or 6 models total... Let me know what you guys think. Any comments, suggestions or criticisms are welcome!

First 250 points:


Scout squad


Grey Hunter squad

Next 250:



Drop Pod


Long Fangs (sorry for the quality, had to use my phone camera)

Next 250 points will be Bjorn the Fell-Handed and another five Grey Hunters, I'll post pics when they are done!

Wow with only a handful of previous paints prior to this, it's pretty impressive work. I am no where near this level and I have painted on and off for years. (this last time about 8 years).

I like the subtle wear on the drop pod. Not over the top damage and wear. Some people go way overboard. Also you chose one of my favorite armies, the Space Wolves. Although I prefer a darker colour to them and more grey.

Love them! Just how i want my SW army to look. How did you paint the blue/grey?

Welcome to Dakka!

Great looking models there, your paintwork is very neat for a seasoned veteran let alone a beginner, and while I don't personally care for the GW sky-blue Space Wolf scheme (purely aesthetically, I prefer the darker) you've done a good job of making it look striking and effective!

Great DP man! I too am in an escalation with sw!

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

For the blue/grey, I airbrushed a basecoat of Sombre Grey from Vallejo Game Air, then airbrushed a layer of Russ Grey from above, at about 45 degrees, to leave some shadows on the armor. I finally highlighted with Fenrisian Grey. For the Drop Pod, I just went straight from the Sombre Grey basecoat to highlighting the edges with Fenrisian Grey.
