I am new to the world of Warhammer and I have just started a Space Wolf army. As I began painting them and educating myself further on the Sons of Russ, I realized that Space Wolves really should be Grey. I wanted to ask your opinions. I have base coated almost my whole army so that is a bummer but id rather have the right color scheme. Opinions? Thanks for your help. I have posted them below.
they look like the colour GW uses so all good. in fact they look really good! nice one.
Check out my gallery here Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!
It's more of a blueish grey, but you'll see that when you follow this you end up with that iconic look of Space Wolf Power Armour; so far your models are well on the way to reaching that, so no need to worry about your basecoat
Happy Painting!

Just a quick tip, be sure to thin your paints down plenty if you choose to do those highlights (they're optional but help a lot in defining the miniature) - you can also practice edge highlighting on bits of sprue till you're confident to try it on your models; practice makes perfect
I almost forgot - welcome to DakkaDakka! Hope you enjoy your stay
Apologies if you already know this, but 1st founding chapters often have a 30k colour, and a 40k colour. Space Wolves armour was grey in 30k, and the blue grey that you have painted yours in 40k. What you have done so far looks great .
