And now we are back to painting Space Wolves!

Last 3 Imperial Fists bikes are done, and I will be basing them all on my very soon to come vacation from work.  And I got to get stuck in on painting the last 3 units I have assembled for my daughters Space Wolves:  Swiftclaw pack of 3 bikes, Skyclaw pack of 10 models, and a 5 model unit of Fenrisian wolves.

I've painted her Space Wolves very much like the last set I painted, but this time just a bit different. Instead of doing the agrax earthshade wash, I used what I call a dirty water wash.

This is basically taking a shade, like Nuln Oil, mixing another color into it (in this instance, VGC Air Cold Grey) and using it as a tint to darken the color, but still leave the blue/grey of the Russ Grey showing through.

I airbrushed Russ Grey, and then applied my "dirty water wash" to the model


Finished with the main bodies, fully - highlights, decals, etc.



Now to finish the jump packs tomorrow, and I will put together a tutorial on the grey from start to finish.

When the unit gets done, they will look like this:


And NO, I have not went back and rebased any of the 15k points of Marines that I own.  I think last count has me at needing to rebase well over 100 models.  I said to hell with that and just have a mixed base size on most of the armies that I own.
