Lord Ragnarok Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 That would be a good idea to try some test minis. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG Vrox Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/ArticStorm-9.jpg I use Delta ceramcoat acrylic paints as I prefer to mix colors and the bottles they use allow easy measure of drops. Black base and over the top white highlighting. I will use inks, but instead mostly leave the black from the base showing. 3 drops Storm Grey 1 drop Blue Horizon 1 drop Quaker Grey 1 drop White Yellow is Opaque Yellow WG Vrox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Tuditanus Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 There is another thread listed around here on Pre-Heresy wolves that actually has a really great recipe using Adeptus Battlegrey, iirc. Inyaden Darksun looks to be a great color though!! A badab black wash over those posted and some re-application of highlights and you'd be golden!

Torin Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 well i painted my wolves with two variant. The new pup comes in codex grey while the old ones in the Traditional SW grey. Well wolve are meant to look different. So having some difference between pack wont hurt. :) http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa241/syamael/Army%20of%20Dif2find/resizedDSC_0450.jpg http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa241/syamael/Army%20of%20Dif2find/resizedDSC_0467.jpg http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa241/syamael/Army%20of%20Dif2find/resizedDSC_0472.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garmr Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Today i bought the colors to paint my wolves :) . I found the tutorial on this forum very useful so i will paint my wolves with codex gray , fortress gray and leviathan purple to make shadows . Than i think that every pack will have a rune and i will paint them in different colors , it will dipends if they are grey hunters (black and red) blood claws (yellow and red) and so on :) . As soon as i will paint them i will show you some photoes :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkseer Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/WG_Vrox/ArticStorm-9.jpg Dear lord, that's clean! Think I may go with Mjolnir's method: adeptus battley grey, badab black wash, then high lights with the battlegrey mixed with codex grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlk Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Darn it, I've been trying to paint my Wolves for a month now and there is one big problem - the highlighting in which I really, really suck. Despite all the tutorials, I just can't seem to get it right. Currently, I'm trying to prime it black, basecoat it with codex grey and then the (wonderful) tutorial says "base highlight with fortress grey" - I would really like to but I don't know how. And further highlights are just so mysterious to me that it's getting frustrating. Does anyone know about a MARINE highlighting tutorial with perhaps some pics where would be specifically said: "highlight exactly HERE with THIS, then give another highlight HERE with THIS" and so on? I've been searching for something like that but I just can't find any. The only highlighting technique I'm getting familiar with is the drybrushing but I don't really like the results. If anyone could help me, I would be forever grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGC Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Here's an old tutorial I did for a friend's website http://www.thegamersguild.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=146 It won't win you any GD awards but will take through basics including highlighting. Many will agree that one of the secrets to painting is to thin your paint down - sometimes quite a lot. Another, and possibly the most important is PRACTICE. There are very few who produce top quality minis without having some dodgy ones in the process - we have all been there. And since doing that step-by-step I have changed slightly the way I do things as I have learnt new ways of doing things Wish you the best and don't be scared to post W.I.P pics of your wolves and take the C&Cs on the chin DGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Runner Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I use a an Adeptus Battle grey as an undercoat, Adeptus Battle grey + SW grey 50% mix for a basecoat and highlight with extra SW grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligncomedy Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Primer Black Dry Paint Necron Abyss Badab Black Wash Regal Blue (Leave some of previous scheme showing in recesses) 2:1 Regal Blue : Ultramarine Blue (Like before, some previous scheme showing) Ultramarine Blue (in a streaky downward pattern) 1:1 Ultramarine Blue : Ice Blue (Use to highlight in a similar method as the streaky Ultramarine Blue) ^Dezartfox's style. I adapted it. The dark blue thing is dating back to their Rogue Trader era: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/image...ogue_Trader.jpg The style is just because I think it looks "frosty". Sorry no pics as I am currently away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
