This is the start of my Space Wolves Great Company. I have recently got back into the hobby after long break.
Models:
10 x Grey Hunters (incl Battle Standard)
10 x Grey Hunters
10 x Blood Claws
5 x Wolf Guard Terminators
3 x Wolf Guard in power armour
3 x DreadsI
3 x Thunderwolf Cav
So I found a load of my old SW models, the old metal ones, and decided to strip them down and repaint them in the Heresy Era colours. I had previously painted them in the codex, bright, shiny colours and really wanted the darker grey armour of the Heresy wolves!
So here's my painted Grey Hunters (minus the Battle Standard), Wolf Guard in power armour and two of my dreads. I have been reading the Heresy series Black Library books and really wanted to recreate the dark deliberate killers that the SW are. This is also reinforced in the Battle of the Fang, so here's my project so far!!!
So here's my next pack in progress! This will be my Blood Claw pack. The majority of the pack are from the old metal pack with a couple newer models cobbled together from my bits box to bring the total up to 10.
This is one of my older models base coated and given a quick wash
After I give them a quick dry brush before I paint the detail individually. I have learnt from my previous attempts so now I only dry brush the edges and raised areas of the model to keep the armour dark.
Thanks for the comments much appreciated!!! Got some forgeworld models and bits to mix in with my force to add a heresy feel, a few head swaps, pack swaps and MKIV Ven Dread that can act as a Bjorn Fell Handed if needed.
So here is my first Blood Claw I have finished. I'm going to try and paint the pack in a little less ornate scheme the GH as I want to so their junior status in a subtle way (apart from pack markings) so will be painting less of the gold armour detail and trim onto them.
So some of my pics haven't loaded up so here's what I painted last month. Due to work I haven't been able to do much this month but here's the first of my Blood Claws!
Thanks. The base is standard grey I then slightly highlighted the armour with dawnstone then administratum grey, I only lightly dry brushed the the extremes of the armour then highlighted the edges with ulthaun grey. rather then brush vertically along the vertical edges i brushed along horizontally, then vice versa for the horizontal edges. Hope that makes sense????
And these are the first five of my Blood Claw pack. I took a little break from finishing them as I had to paint the thunder wolves as the were just staring at me begging to be painted!! I am currently painting up the rest of the pack now.
Oh sorry about the picture quality they were taken on my mobile
So here is my pack of 10. I understand that I cannot have two special weapons (flamers) unless they number 15, but I plan to add 5 FW models to bring the number up!!
That's a some nice color you are getting on the Wolf Priests cloak, and the blood claws look great as unit. Nice work. How many points are painted now?
Thanks Jacobite, the colours I used on the cloak are to tie the model in with the rest of the army. Currently I have 677 pts painted (Not including the Wolf priest)! I promised my self that when I get to 1000pts I have a game. Haven't played a game for like 12 years!!!
Show this is my first completed thunder wolf cavalry model! Pretty happy with the end result considering it was the first time i had attempted painting a wolf!
Thanks. I'm goin to use the wolf helmets throughout my wolf guard to make them stand out a bit more! I'm really happy how the TWC ha turned out glad you like it!!!
I agree that Wolf helmet looks great. I'm also digging the lack of color on the mini. Sometimes people go crazy on the red and yellows on SW's and it gets a bit too much. This looks really good though. Having a full unit will be quite a sight.
