This is a Space Wolf test model I've been working on for a long time. It has been stripped and re-painted several times, but I finally achieved a tone of blue-grey for the armour that I'm happy with. It was surprisingly difficult.

Please let me know what you think. If folks like it and want to know how it was done, I will produce a guide and do the same for the other loyalist legions.

Fantastic paintwork, though I'm a bit partial to the more pale blue hue from the 90's. Still, gorgeous work.

Lovely stuff. I'd absolutely be interested in a guide, this is the kind of grey I've been looking to use on a small force of Space Wolves I was given a few years back.

Great work and like how it's not too clean with the minimal battle damage

Heh, what I love about this is that it's not that pale blue. To each their own!

Great paint job regardless!

Less blue, more grey. Excellent.

How'd you do the weathering? I've been trying to get armor chipping right on my blood angels and it looks great on yours!

Thats a pretty nice paintwork, if you are in to perfection and flawless details

Seriously though, cant wait to this project expand and based.
Stellar work as always.

Greetings, I like the powder puff blue You used on the test model!

Good to see some yellow on a Space Wolf, along with a proper Space Wolves water slide transfer!

Looking forward to seeing Your Army of Space Wolves!! :-)

Thanks for the comments! Getting the balance right between blue and grey is tricky, but I'm glad most people seem to like the result!

The trick here is to use your edge highlight colour to make small, random scratches here and there over the model. Any that come out a bit bigger, I add a small line or dot of dark brown to the top of them, to represent deeper marks.

I think he looks fantastic. The highlighting is very visually pleasing, especially in combination with the bold shading, and the weathering is subtle but adds a lot to the model.
