Vash113 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ok so the 20 Grey Hunters and the Long Fangs are for my B&C Painting Challenge Oath, but while I'm at it I'm also painting up a Dread, 30 Blood Claws and when I get them primed, 5 Wolf Scouts. Here's some pics: Long Fangs and Grey Hunters http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0366-1.jpg Long Fangs http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0367-1.jpg Pack Leader and Heavy Bolter http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0368-1.jpg Another Heavy Bolter and 2 Lascannons http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0369-1.jpg Dread Front http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0371-1.jpg Dread Right Side http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0377-1.jpg Dread Left Side http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0373-1.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0374-1.jpg Dread Back http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0375-1.jpg Lots of Blood Claws! http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0370-1.jpg Wolf Scouts Front http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0379-1.jpg Wolf Scouts Back http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0380-1.jpg Wolf Guard Pack Leader Bolter Closeup, yes that's a chainblade http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0381.jpg The Long Fangs and Dreadnaught are pretty much done save for sanding the bases. The Grey Hunters just have the primary shadow grey on and highlighted and the Wolf Scouts need to be primed. 60 Space Wolves... and I'm hoping to have them all done within the month, or no later than the Painting Challenge deadline if I get delayed.

Combat_Vet Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I like the red alot, it really adds to the look of the wolves. I am stealing that bolter pattern too :) Better days, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masnagj Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The thing that really stood out to me in these pics is the dread. The skull and the tusks in particular were what caught my attention. I really like the way the look, it creates a very unique and very fitting dread for the wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I like the red alot, it really adds to the look of the wolves. I am stealing that bolter pattern too ;) Yea I like to add some contrasting colors to my wolves, usually in the form of red, white and yellow details, markings and symbols of various kinds. It really helps to add interrest and character to the models and draws the eye in to each individual model. With the Space Wolves I feel each marine is an individual and I try to get that across with the paint scheme, even though it's a pretty sloppy speed paint. The thing that really stood out to me in these pics is the dread. The skull and the tusks in particular were what caught my attention. I really like the way the look, it creates a very unique and very fitting dread for the wolves. Wolves are the first creature that comes to mind with the Space Wolves, but Fenris is also home to all kinds of other creatures and I felt it would be characterfull to add mammoth tusks to the Venerable Dreadnaught and sort of get across a sort of metalic beast look. The skull was sort of random inspiration after I'd initially finished with the model and was a late addition just before I primed it but I'm happy with the way it turned out. Glad you liked it :lol:.

Sons of Horus Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 i like the normal tacs but the long fangs don't look so nicely painted. the dread is creative but messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about speed paint doesn't get across? I'm not a Golden Daemon painter, so what. The Grey Hunters or the "normal tacs" as you put it, are painted exactly the same as the Long Fangs were.

Ferrus Manus Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I like them Vash. My only qualm is that the red is a bit too stark a contrast for me. I'd suggest darkening it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I'd previously used Red Gore to do the red details but ran out of it so used Blood Red this time, I may go over the red again in a darker shade when I can restock my paints, or perhaps a black wash might tone it down a bit.

Ferrus Manus Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Or possibly a brown wash, it would probably work better than a black wash on red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I'll see about it in the morning, I'll be going to a hobby shop to replenish some of my paints. Here's a quick update, the 1st Grey Hunter squad is pretty much done bar some cleanup work and sanding the bases, here's some pics: Grey Hunters Front: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0384-1.jpg Grey Hunters Back: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0386-1.jpg Also a small update on the Dreadnaught, did a little cleanup work and added some text and kill markings to his "loincloth" thingy: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0388-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Here's an update, some Fenresian Wolves, and two packs of Grey Hunters I'd painted previously but hadn't gotten around to getting pics up. Fenresian Wolves Front: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0398.jpg Fenresian Wolves Side: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0399-1.jpg First Grey Hunter Pack Front: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0402-1.jpg First Grey Hunter Pack Back: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0403-1.jpg Second Grey Hunter Pack Front: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0400-1.jpg Second Grey Hunter Pack Back: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0401-1.jpg Army Shot: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/Vash113/IMG_0404-1.jpg Still a lot of work to do. The Wolves are usually divided amongst the Battle Leaders, the Wolf Priest and the Wolf Lord. Gotta love the little wolfy companions and yes 3 of them are missing their tails, one of the disadvantages of second hand models. I went for a different look with the wolves from the usual all grey or black, it turned out alright IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
