I have been picking and poking at these guys since the holidays. They are
almost done! What follows are the steps that got me this far.

| Almost done! |
Here is the Sergeant for squad one, getting his mid-coats applied. It's one of the few times that I used my Citadel Hobby Handle, or remembered to take a photo while the model was still mounted on it.

And here he is again with Bugman's Glow as a flesh basecoat and Mournfang Brown for the hair.

The other three (unfinished) guys from this squad got their mid-coats done also. Here they await the final stages...
 |
| Waiting for their completion... |
As I painted these guys, I seemed to paint the trio of regular troopers together and focus on the Sergeant separately. This has worked out well I think. Here he is with his armor painted up to the top color, Space Wolves Grey, and with his flesh painted with Cadian Flesh.

Here they are as collective, awaiting the final highlights and details.
 |
| Last steps before highlighting. |
The Sergeant has his armor highlighted with White Scar, and his flesh is painted with Kislev Flesh. The only thing left to do is pick put a few details (gem stone, the skulls on the base, etc.). The others are now up to this level also (see top pic). I think I have to pause here, but the next post in this series should see this squad completed.

Yeah rocking looking squad, love the little wolf-y bits. Are you drilling the barrels, not a biggy but I noticed. How do you rate the painting handle, I am a convert, I prefer it to the paint pot and sticky tac I used to use. It is a lot firmer grip on the base of the mini so less liable to fall off mid session, the angle is sometimes blocked by the handle size, but I just rotate the mini and normally that frees up the desired angle.
ReplyDeleteThanks again.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have gotten away from drilling barrels. I find that that either I make the hole too small, or it's not symmetrical, or both, and it irritates me to the point that I spent far too much time on it than it was worth. So lately I have been painting a ring around the barrel with Mitheral Silver and no one seems to notice because it looks better!
I like the handle! I never mounted my miniatures before, except in extreme circumstances, so I rarely remember to use it. But when I do, it is ...um..handy. 😁
Good looking squad, man! I like them quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteThey are looking well, will you go full primaris for your Wolves?
ReplyDeleteNever seen the use of the handle personally but whatever works for you. :)
