Dantay VI Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I could imagine it would be.. Looks great though. Drybrushing is a knack, key though is hard brushes. Are you true-scaling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cry Wolf Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 gonna have to buy a hard brush then I think cos ive been highlighting all the furs ive gone not drybrushing lolYe theyre all my VI will be truescales, toying with Iron warriors and Thousand sons (no sons models done yet) and they DEFINATELY wont be truescale, too much of a headacheTHOUGH the new cataphractii makes everthing but the arms really simple, making legs from normal termies is very time consuming...

Dantay VI Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I have seen quite a lot of Tartaros legs used for truescale to look like mark 6. I was wondering with a little bit of scoring, if yo could make Tartaros legs look like mark 4? I use make-up brushes for drybrushing Have you seen Apologist and Commisssar Molotovs threads? They use Grey Knight torsos for their marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this one. Nice work on the truescaled Marines, Cry. They look like proper badasses. I'm especially fond of the Praetor and Dreadnought. Cheers Psycho, theyre coming allong, going to have to go back and extra-badass them i think after seeing the really foreboding stuff on here!

Dantay VI Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 These are the brushes that I use, not sure if this helps, all 3 are really stiff. Most important thing is make sure you get pretty much all the paint off that brush!! Run it across the back of your hand or a piece of tissue, until no more paint comes off, that is when the brush is ready for dry brushing!! Good luck http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20160415_210743.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run it across the back of your hand or a piece of tissue, until no more paint comes off, that is when the brush is ready for dry brushing!! Good luck Did these today! I like painting wolves, my first painted unit (to table top standard, 3 greys over the black, mouths teeth and eyes painted, just need to add an iris and fully finish the bases) http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss189/Cryofthewulfen_album/12992898_10153702673899755_1495579273_n.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss189/Cryofthewulfen_album/13046064_10153702674019755_469356497_n.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss189/Cryofthewulfen_album/13020149_10153702673949755_102543404_n.jpg Ah, thanks mate, though I personally think that your stuff blows mine out of the water.

Dantay VI Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 So the drybrushing went well then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cry Wolf Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 well enough i think and though the bases on them arent the right bases for the army (they were test bases) Im pleased with them for how little effort they were overall may be doing an army of them.... if FW does the same usnit sizes as the Codex SW ill be having all 3 fast choices as them so 45 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pheidias Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I'd suggest a light brown layer in there, just to make them look more alive, as wolf-models can come off slightly lifeless when only done with greys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Unless they are black wolves, possibly a lighter shade of grey on the smooth portion of the lower legs and a wee bit along the underside otherwise they look fine. The scheme you are thinking of, you could almost get away with those bases on the wolves as they are also supposed to be on 40mm bases and these ones with a touch here and there could well look like Prospero .

I was going for black wolves BUT may try a brown wash on one to see how it changes the color as I dont want to go lighter but not happy with them atm Got some work done on the bases http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss189/Cryofthewulfen_album/Glass%20Bases.jpg And the start of some wulfen, not happy with the pose of the on all fours running one so thatll be being changed but happy with how the changes from paw-feet to marine feet went (hate the new wulfen look with a passion) http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss189/Cryofthewulfen_album/13020299_10153708632239755_1430019746_n.jpg http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss189/Cryofthewulfen_album/13059704_10153708632629755_1387747861_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pheidias Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 If you were going for black wolves, maybe just a black wash instead, but keep it off the snout?Loving those bases though, the broken glass add quite a lot to them! Wulfen are looking good, can't quite see what the matter is with the one on all fours, he looks good to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cry Wolf Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 ill try a black wash first then if im not satisfied a brown wash, theyre actually Stormverimin fur so a dirty wash could work i think but black wont be damaging if im wrongmight just be having looked at it all day yesterday making the squad, ill give it another look after not looking at it over the weekend :p prob forget all about the problems im seeing in it now haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
