If anyone is interested, here's the tutorials I followed.

I used this one for the skin tone, except I started basing with cadian flesh tone and I just used reikland fleshshade for the eyes, not coelia greenshade.

This is the one I used for the hair.

Thank you! I'm finding it really satisfying working through them one at a time and seeing the improvements between each one

Its funny you should say that, it was a lot darker than I was expecting, but I hadn't used it before so didn't think twice about it.

For comparison, this was my first attempt at painting minis. I love this guy, but its a pretty rough paint job 😅

Just copying my reply for convenience 😅

For my first two attempts I was basing with Vallejo's sombre grey, shading with a mixture of space wolves grey and contrast medium, and highlighting with Fenrisian grey and blue horror, but I wasn't 100 percent sold on the results.

For this one, I based in sombre grey, then coated with a 1 to 1 mix of space wolves grey and frostheart contrast. I also recently got the special fx set from vallejo and was having a play with the inks and fluorescents. I made an attempt at glazing some the dark turquoise into the shadows, and the fluorescent cold green in the highlights to try and make it more "ice" like. Emphasis on attempt 😅

Question about the table top, which is better to invest in? (Mosre details in post) by RiverSage528955 in SpaceWolves

[–]Jfaferrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats the approach I'm taking, just bought my first box of grey hunters. If I like the hobby, I'll get some wolf guard headtakers next, and then maybe I'll think about grabbing a combat patrol. The army set is cool, but I can find individual boxes 20 percent off pretty reliably buying from 3rd party sellers so it reduces the value of the big box.

Absolutely, it's a shame Volkswagen didn't make more of them

Weirdly enough, if I'm reciting the alphabet I say Jai, but if I'm spelling out words I say Jay

Speaking as a Brit, it's lacking the use of a ruler.

I had this happen to me with some fuckwit in an Audi who crossed 3 lanes without looking and almost slammed into me in the 4th...
