shading the space wolf

I cant be sure since i started the model so long ago, but i think i shaded and toned the wolf guard with a blend of grephonne sepia, devlan mud, and asurman blue or leviathan purple. I'll do a few tests this weekend and try and remember. But space wolves grey/shadow grey are hard to tone given their muted nature and divergence away from a primary colour.

Wolf Guard in Tactical Dreadnaught Armour with Assault Cannon and Powerfist

Finished. I made the blending for the grey too subtle. It shows up when you look carefully but in photos and on table top it doesn't come up. Probably in future go with a harsher light/mid/shadow tones to make it come out stronger. Only the base left to do now.

this guy comes in at 73pt

Wolf Guard 18pt
Terminator armor 15pt
Assault Cannon 30pt
Power fist 10pt

yellow yellow yellow

Yellow is no fun to paint.


Pedro - salvaged Pedro from a horrific experience with a matt varnish. The spray came out and it congealed in the air before it hit Pedro. The end result looked as though I'd gone ahead and sprayed him with fake snow. I cleaned it up as best as i could but now his a pale comparison to what he was as all the yellow shading just got flattened.



Imperial fist vindicator. Haven't finished all the weathering on it yet so it still looks a little clean and flat.

True scale Death Guard and Zaku marine

Pre-Heresy Dreadnought

Not sure what legion its going to be, waiting to see what happens with the new BA dex. For now it could swing between Ultramarines and Blood Angels. He stands a good 1/3 taller than a normal dreadnought, theres a standard marine next to him and my still wip of a true scale Cato Sicarrus

Kits used for the dreadnought:
Sentinal - legs
Venerable Dreadnought - legs/body/shoulder
Ironclad Dreadnought - legs/body/shoulder/arm
Leman Russ Punisher - assault cannon
Chaos Defiler - shoulder pads
