Tommie Soule Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks fella! you are right about the wolf head. I want to tweak a couple of things accross the army as well. Things like frosting on the bases and a revarnish of a few shiny bits etc T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irwit Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 One of the best looking Space Wolf armies I've seen and love the dread! The whole army is total Eavy metal style, so crisp and well painted. I guess if I had to crit, and I guess the dread shows it more than others, is the bases don't have the same high quality as the models. Maybe the frosting ( Im not sure what this is ? ) will help. Maybe some dry brushing on the static grass to take some of that high green saturation out of it would help too. Its kind of sunny meadow mid summer grass next to desert/desolate sand/dirt next to snow, just doesnt quite make sense as a grounding for your guys. Looking forward to seeing the long fangs, and maybe even some kind wolf lord conversion, oh and some termies !!! And maybe some swift claws? Contemptor dread? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PupLord Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 BEAUTIFUL WORK AS ALWAYS! I'm located a little too far to join events such as yours but I hope everyone attending will be satisfied. Since I can't join I'd like to know a couple of things: Firstly, how do you paint your furs? Both the pelts as well as the tail talismans? I have tried a gazillion different techniques and color combinations on my wolves but I haven't found a satisfying one for me yet. I don't only mean to ask the colors you used but painting techniques and the order in which they are implemented as well. Secondly, how do you paint the triangles and other patterns on the weapons, legs etc. I remember you mentioning previously that you use a brush to paint them. So how much do you thin your paints? Do you use masking tape or something? How on earth do you achieve the clean lines and symmetrical size on the icons etc.? All help is well appreciated! Thirdly, do you paint your battle damage on? If yes, how do you make the call on when enough is enough? I have trouble determining the proper amount of battle damage so I have left all of my boys as pristine as on parade day ;) And I have to mention again: Everything on this thread is top quality and I am astonished with the speed you guys produce these works of art. All the best, Pup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Did this ever get finished Tommy? Can't find your tutorial either. Could have sworn you had done one. And any mentions of thread dormancy...just look at the painting! The young ones need to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommie Soule Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 I could not help but shelve the space elves and pic up the space wolves!these puppies were actually 90% painted by my lady, Kelly, I just finished them off after teaching her how to do the furhttp://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/tommiesoule/000_1424.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommie Soule Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 I started a wolf guard unit a while ago but he was just a power armored fellow with a power fist to lead my razorback squad. here is the second of my wolf guard unit!

I have tried a gazillion different techniques and colorcombinations on my wolves but I haven't found a satisfying one for meyet. I don't only mean to ask the colors you used but paintingtechniques and the order in which they are implemented as well.

So how much do you thin your paints? Do you usemasking tape or something? How on earth do you achieve the clean linesand symmetrical size on the icons etc.? All help is well appreciated!The shape of the brush defines the shape of the triangle really. Use the brush kind of like a stamp. correct as you need to as you go along.Thirdly, do you paint your battle damage on? If yes, how do you make thecall on when enough is enough? I have trouble determining the properamount of battle damage so I have left all of my boys as pristine as onparade day I sneak up on it. only doing a little at a time and judging from there. Trust your gut.And I have to mention again: Everything on this thread is top qualityand I am astonished with the speed you guys produce these works of art.All the best,Pup Good questions! Hope the answers help you guys out. feel free to Pm me on the Golem facbook page if you need as well. Tommie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Sweet looking models. As with Ragz, I may do this for my Wolves once I am able to start recollecting my Wolves. 250 a month (or every other month, as the funds allow) seems pretty reasonable for purchasing and doing up. bran lives lads! He 's back from the dead! On topic,it's a crips paintjob,very neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohail187 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 any tips on space wolves faces? i really like the tone you have achieved through out on the faces. How did you build up to that colour, and what washes did u use. Also jealous of the looks of your army they do look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusthetraitor Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Those are some gorgeous space wolves. I quite like the shading of the blue-grey on the dreadnought. Is that a burnt umber glaze near the top of the color transition? It looks stellar. Magnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I really like what you've done here. Very clean, and really a perfect blend of detail and damage to keep the army moving at a good pace. What is the base colour you use on your wolves? Is it a mix of something? Straight out of the bottle? A spray of some sort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hey Tommy, next time you get a chance, could you post a pic of your photo booth setup? Your lighting is pretty smooth and the models come out real crisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommie Soule Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hope this helps instead Simple guide to photography solution - a curved A4 piece of paper as a base and background for your mini. desk lamp pointing at the mini from the front (not above!) camera on macro (not necessarily super macro) assuming you have a compact camera. (i use a kodak cx7525) zoom in a little and pull away a little to reduce depth of field. Take photo! however our photography is not like that of a traditional photographer. We are not trying to take a nicely composed and framed image in one shot. We are simply trying to get as clear and accurate image of our mini as we can. Crop Image's wasted space in photoshop and hit auto levels. Save as jpg. Done Here is a finished example. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/tommiesoule/000_1045.jpg T Can we sticky this??
