Dancing with wolves

A buddy of mine wanted me to paint a pack of wolves and a 5 man Forgeworld terminator group. To make a long story short we showed up at the Indy GT a few weeks back and they had a three color minimum. I jumped in real quick to help a brother in need (he had 3 drop pods and numerous miniatures still to pain and game time was 12 hours away). I painted them rather quickly, but really didnt have the time to put the effort into it, plus i was half drunk. It didnt help 4 of us were painting in the light of a hotel room. I can't sat what a difference the right tools and lights make. On top of all that i was using paints i didnt have experience with. You would think it doesnt make a difference, but when i got them home and put them on the bench i seen the "light."

Anyway this is a fairly basic paintjob. He gave me free roam of what to do. Here is the color scheme.

Base - Black
Layer - Mechanicus Gray
Layer - (Striping) - watered down layers of admin gray (thin layers)
Wash - Boab Black (yes i still have a large supply)
Layer - reapplying stripy water down layers of admin gray
Glitz Yellow - Righ Shoulder pad
Khone Red, Wildrider Red and bloodletter for the hair (boab to darken the roots)
Gun metal - to scratch up the armor and stipple some battle damage
Dwarf bronze
Turquois Blue for a few random pops and gems
Army painter tufts of dead grass
Rust weathering powders (dark and fresh rust) by Tamiya
GW - Scrotched grass
Snow effects by ???

Anyway I did exceed the 3 color minimum and hopes he liked how they turned out
1 teminator and 9 space wolves (Ryan's)

  2. This is top quality work. I always thought I would have a fully painted army before Ryan did. Then there was Indy.
