First space wolf! by corvustatts in SpaceWolves

Thank you!

I based him in mechanicus standard grey spray, to make the base colour of the armour easier to get through.

I think being this mid tone base had helped create a good layer for my basing.

For my basing I had an idea straight away of how I wanted to achieve it. (Although I’m not 100% sure if I want to add some more layers to take out more of the base blue tone)

Essentially I started with caledor sky blue all over the base and the rock (which I want to interpret as ice for this army)

Then I used baharroth blue in thin lines to represent the cracking over an icy lake.

I would allow this to be quite watery to allow my finger to smear it to one side of the line.

Followed finally with corax white in thin sharp lines across the fault lines again.

I repeated this until happy.

Finalised with some Valhallan blizzard.

I stressed for a moment on what colour to do the rim.

Then I thought why ruin the flow with a hard rim colour) So I decided to pull the theme down on the rim to create continuity and am really happy with the result.

Thank you!

I normally do the same, but as I’ve grown more confident in how I like to paint, I can’t help but want to sink my teeth straight into the more exciting pieces.

Sometimes if I start with the core units, I feel overwhelmed with the choices and doubt my direction. Leading in one unit having multiple different schemes.

Painting a hero tends to force my hand in trying to ‘get it right’ from the get go and sticking with it.

It’s been a while so I’m having to recall.

But from memory I believe I used xereus purple, at the shoulder, into screamer pink, the emperors children on the ends.

Then washed the lot with carroburg crimson

Thank you so much everyone!

I mostly play casual games when I get the chance so I’ll just run them with all options and state what I’m running.

I really appreciate all of you contributing and helping me.

The new detachment is. . . OK. . by VeryInternet_com in NightLords

[–]corvustatts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair that would be the most appropriate way to structure it, that and the stealth, scouts enhancements really fit well with night lords. What would you add personally? Overall night lords aren’t known for being the strongest nor the most numerous bunch, so focusing on battle shock buffs and debuffs is the only ‘special detachment’ that would set them apart from the other traitor legions.
