Of course this is a WIP. theres bit more details to pick out depending on how many hours I wanna spend on this guy. So far its been only 3 hours... I just wanna encourage everyone if there is a will, there is a way. I'll do my best to share with you all how to raise a space wolf strike force in the fastest possible way. Comments are welcome!
until today I still love that model. He was my first special character when I started 40k in 1995. That's how old this model is and it has really stood the test of time! I think you may wanna soften the highlights on the cloak with a wash....
ReplyDeletethanks enrgie, I will wash this guy with a few more coats. I want him to have a darker shade of armor but not jet black like most chaplains.
ReplyDeleteYes, space wolves models are really cool. The sad bit is there really aren't enough rune priest and wolf priest models. Do you have the old wolf scouts? I'd love to get my hands on those...
You could use a few washes of the Asurmen Blue wash to create a real strong image of him - blue creating a surreal appearance rather than the black. Also since your highlights are harsh, the washes will help blend it together.
ReplyDeleteI dont have the scouts. Unfortunately I was too poor to afford many miniatures but I reckon I have a box of old school terminators somewhere...
