I hope it will still look like space wolves. most of the models will not have helmets. I plane on making them look more wolfy then most of other space wolves army's. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6360934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6360934.page GMT how I want to paint my space wolves Do you want feedback on your idea or are you looking for painting tips in general?

I do love the look of halved and quartered marines but you should know that it's far more tedious and time consuming than a solid colour. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6361042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6361042.page GMT how I want to paint my space wolves http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6361189.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6361189.page GMT how I want to paint my space wolves

I think that its a brilliant paint scheme that I would love to see translated to a miniature. I will however agree with what LUTNIT said with the difficulty of halved schemes. They are a lot more tedious to work though.


This sums up my feelings on halfed schemes but that said, they are damned fine when completed

Assembly line the marines painting the lighter color first, so its okay if it spills over. Next, paint the darker color so you only have to worry about precision once. We're really only talking about the groin, collar and backpack that need to be split between two colors.

Use tape to give yourself a straight line on vehicles and go for it!

I would recommend painting the black bit on the bolt weapons red too for consistency across the weapons.

That said, your scheme looks good. I don't think I'd want to try the half and half, look, but I'm not a skilled painter by any means.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6362475.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6362475.page GMT how I want to paint my space wolves
With all the extra things to paint space wolves: fur, skulls, emblems, chains you will have your hands full too. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6364154.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6364154.page GMT how I want to paint my space wolves
The reason you see it so much is because that's how Ragnar Blackmane's Great Company is painted, and he's the Chapter's poster-boy, well...now he is.

I play Space Wolves, but I do Sven Bloodhowl's Great Company. His left shoulder pads are red, so the only yellow is on Blood/Sky/Swiftclaws, and Wolf Guard, and it's minimal. I also paint my guys more grey using Vallejo Model Air Dark Sea Grey, Medium Sea Grey, and Light Grey. I do like the look of half and half paintjobs, and there's absolutely no reason a company couldn't paint theirs that way. Space Wolves don't give a damn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6364457.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6364457.page GMT Re:how I want to paint my space wolves http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6364470.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6364470.page GMT how I want to paint my space wolves http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6364572.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6364572.page GMT how I want to paint my space wolves http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6366304.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6366304.page GMT how I want to paint my space wolves
Tips:

Do not glue on the shoulder pads, nor the backpack. Paint those seperately. Save time by spray basecoating entire model the grey, then block in the darker blue by hand. Give the entire peice a dark blue wash and paint the red elements.

Use a nice sharp and wet brush, larger than you expect to do the crisp line between the two colors. Run the line all the way done THEN paint the remainder.
Good luck finish your 500 combat patrol and get to playing!

Unfortunaley space wolves have a TON of detail, skulls, fur, pelts, charms, runes etc. best bet is to basecoat and then wash sparingly. spend time on the shoulder pad detail and the bases. I know my space wolves take a long time!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6367722.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569254/6367722.page GMT
