And the Space Hulk bit...


Ah! So, another reason Space Wolves have been slow going. Tinkering with the Space Hulk terminators. Haven't got very far and think perhaps the overall effect is too dark for Blood Angels - but I do like the effect. Mechrite Red base over Chaos Black. Blood Red overbrushing. Devlan Mud/Badab Black wash. Then drybrushes of Blood Red, some blazing orange added, then used on it's own for a bit of a highlight. Next time I'm going to go a little lighter on the wash...

Rune Priest and Blood Claw. Update!



It seems to have been an age since the last post. Computer and email problems - camera battery issues - and sheer laziness. Plus the fact that I have been reading a lot of Fables comics too.

So here goes with the progress ...


First off the Blood Claw model has had a little work done - Some armour plate highlighting (basically Space Wolves Grey) , ammo pouch, and a gem on each knee. Close up on these images it looks a bit rough, but from a little way off (!) it looks OK. I tried to sort the left eye out but the model was having none of it so I left it as is - fearing I'd spoil it completely if I messed about too much.



And then with the Rune Priest. In a similar way to the Blood Claw, I've essentially started with 50/50 SW grey and Shadow Grey mix. I'll add a Scorched Brown/Grey wash and then lighten the original armour colour slightly to paint the plates/ I saw an article on the net and in White Dwarf about power weapon painting. So I've experimented a bit and this is what I came up with.
Looks OK - now toying with the idea of a final, very thin blue ink(?) wash as a kind of 'glaze' I think they call it. But I could be wrong. I've also painted on the undercoats for fur and etc as you can see.

I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to have another bash at these... loft needs insulating don't you know.
