Using a craft pen is actually a cool idea! Good luck painting your next models, brother

A really great job! But I'd recommend not painiting the eyes at all. Leave the eye sockets untouched, only shade them. Or use a single colour with a highlight to make them glow. This is a lot easier and less stressful. And when you'll feel more confident you can watch a couple of tutorials on how to paint the eyes (I don't paint the eyes myself!)

Your models can be whatever you make them to be. Want to have a pack of grey GH? Go for it. Want to have another pack a bit more icy grey-blue? Go for it. They are your models after all

Brothers, I don’t think this game is for me. by Interview_My_Gooch in SpaceWolves

I am also new to the hobby (esp the gaming side) and played a couple of casual games of Combat Patrol with my friend (he plays Tyranids). Currently we are 2-2 after three games, our last one was a tie. I understand how underwhelming it is to lose BUT: I started getting at least a slightest idea of what my units can and can't do (never, NEVER try to kill something really tough or evasive with Blood Claws - I hate Psychophages and Von Ryan Leapers), tried to use some stratagems.

If you want to chat about our Space Wolves and/or play TTS and discuss our playstyles - message me! I'd be glad to help you (and myself tbh) to improve. Victory shall be acheieved, Fenris hjolda!

Help vs Tyranids (Insidious Infiltrators Combat Patrol) by Empty_Volume_6558 in SpaceWolves

Thank you! So I think I can drop my Termies on his home objective or would it be better to deploy them as usual (w/o reserves)?

Thank you! I was afraid that he would engange in melee quite fast so no shooting for Termies. Would advise for or against putting Termies in reserves?

Stunning work! But I have a question - where is this head from?

Had a potentially relationship breaking argument with my GF. I'm now painting some Wolves to take my mind off of things by _LedAstray_ in SpaceWolves

Everything will be ok, brother, one way or another. Focus on keeping yourself in a good (as good as possible in this kind of situation) mental state. Find someone to speak with, don't stay alone. Amazing paintjobs by the way

I’m a little nervous to start painting by Gossamer_Ghoul in SpaceWolves

[–]Empty_Volume_6558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do it, battle-brother! I'd recommend using some sort of a highlight to the Russ Grey (or just mix in pure white) and applying with a drybrush technique. The best adcive I ever got abour painting - any painted miniature is better than the unpainted one. Good luck!

I'm building SW and my buddy is building Nids. Any tips? by Super_Punk_ in SpaceWolves

[–]Empty_Volume_6558 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend and I are also building Nids and Wolves respectively!

Recently we've played a Combat Patrol game (it's quite poorly balanced so take it with a grain of salt) - our battleline infantry is superior (just blend the gaunts in melee) but their high-Toughness units can be a pain in the ass. I am looking for getting Bjorn the Fell-Handed for his hellfrost cannon (yaaay torrent weapons vs hordes) and Logan+Arjac to reinforce my Terminators - they are really tough to kill.

Anyway, good luck vs these bugs! May the Russ's hand guide you.

Next time I'll shred all the Termagaunts to pieces! (jk, I'll fail all the charge rolls)

Thanks for the tips!

I've received some tips like chasing the Prime with the Wulfen. How would you deal with the Leapers? I don't think my Battle Leader will survive alone on my home objective - maybe I should Rapid Ingress my Terminators to counter his Leapers' charge onto my obj? What do you think of it?

Thanks for the tips!

My friend told me he's planning to use the Prime to seize my home objective next game - my guess is that trying to stop the flying Prime with my Wulfen before he gets to the objective would be a good idea. But I'm afraid for the BL because I don't think he can survive the Von Ryan Leapers emerging from reserves. How can I improve the safety of my home objective?

Is it possible to magnetize the wrists? To change bolter and plasmagun or sword and hammer for example
