Hail members of the B&C! I figure it was about time to share my WIP of my Great Company to those who don't browse the Fang.

Take a seat and let me know what you think!

First up, Grey Hunter Pack 1, which I have vowed for the DA Painting Challenge




ANGRY!


Skyrim inspired Hunter. FUS ROH DAH!



Mark of the Wulfen. This will be what I use to represent MotW until I can get a hold of something that better represents it.



and painted







and close up of the Wolf Guard



and a group shot



If you've read Prospero Burns , or am still reading it like me, they talk about them doing a lot of leather work, in particular these masks they wear that have knot work in them to keep away maleficarum. (Anyone remember the name of the masks? I really need to just start Prospero Burns over again). Anyways, my army is drawing a lot of inspiration from that book. I really like this take on the Wolves, or the Vlka Fenryka as opposed to say the Ragnar series (Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I loved reading the Ragnar series, and credit it with getting me started with the Wolves, I just prefer this more serious, grim look to them that Mr. Abnett has done)

Now onto Grey Hunter pack 2! If I finish up the first pack with plenty of time, I'll probably vow these guys next, though I am still unsure.





I really dig these two guys, especially the banner guy. Got that from some other members here, and thought I'd give it a go.




I also didn't realise I had used that one-handed-bolter arm twice in the squad, so I'll probably go back and swap it.


And, here is there rhinos!

Now for some older stuff

1st Grey Hunter squad I painted up. The paint job on these was rushed, so it isn't the best, but I wanted to get a general feel for what the scheme would look like.



some individual shots





These were also before I decided to use most of my heads from the Warriors of Chaos Fantasy range.

Scouts



Wolf Priest I made using spare bits



Next up, old man winter himself!









Iron Priest on Thunder Wolf Mount









Hope you all enjoyed, will hopefully have some more progress soon!

Quiet place here....



Anyways, here is an update, small but a big step for me. Finally think I have a method to my madness that I enjoy, both in doing and the outcome. I think it will make for a decent table top quality and hopefully with enough practice better my painting.

This is the second Grey Hunter completed so far for the DA painting challenge.





Also tried out a basing technique. Going for a winter-y/tundra style. Some will have solid snow bases, others with faint patches and rocks, etc.

Let me know what ya think!
