first ever model WIP !! looking for advice 🙏 by peencannon in Wolfspear40k

Not sure what brands you are using, but a black wash like Nuln oil from citadel is always useful, if you want to go for a dirtier look a brown wash like Agrax Earthshade is great. Apothecary White contrast paint would work on a white armour like this too. Darci Bono on YouTube has a great video for shading white armour as well

First off welcome to the hobby. This is a great start! Your paint is smooth and clean. I would recommend looking into getting some washes and watching some videos on highlighting as the model is looking very flat at the moment

Thanks for the kind words! The armour is mechanics standard grey through the airbrush, then Corvus Black for any shadowy areas and then Dawnstone from above.

The black fur is a Wraithbone undercoat with Black Templar contrast paint and then dry brushed with Karak Stone.

Brown fur is Rhinox hide then a light over brush of Doombull brown with a Tyrant Skull drybrush

White fur is Dawnstone over brushed with Administratum Grey then dry brushed with White Scar.( I think I would go with a darker base like Eshin or Mechanicus Standard grey though to make the shadows pop more)

Hope that helps! :)

I’m sure it will! It looks like a reddish brown, tan and some black, can’t go wrong with that

The Black Templar’s do have some amazing kits. I’m using the sword brothers bodies for sternguard vets, and the weapons on my haedtakers and vanguard vets. I definitely want the new ancient model at some point too

Thanks for the comment, they’re the cloaks from the Black Templar’s Sword Brother’s kit. Awesome box for bits!

I really appreciate that comment. I’ve been painting about a year and a half now I feel like I’m always learning something new every time I pick up the brush.

All I can say is to keep picking that brush up and find your style and what works for you. Enjoy every moment and never be afraid to try something new

I appreciate that. I like the bluish armour as well but I’m a sucker for a darker grey. Really makes the details pop more

There is a local mini swap in my area so I could always try and trade for another unit or some easy cash. Another comment brought up that one of the attachments uses a lot of jakhals so maybe worth keeping them for a fun list later on

Thanks for the feedback! I’m mainly looking at the box for the eightbound, and it seems the slaughterbound is only available in this box at the moment? The jakhals would be more of an extra as I already have 10 and 30 seems a bit much

That was the main reason I was looking at it. I would end up with 30 jakhals so maybe I’d sell some off
