Painting: My painting method.

So, the method I have been using for my models is as follows:

prime black
fenris grey
shadow grey
devlan mud wash
general highlight shadow grey
build up to space wolves grey
add details

just so i could have it down and you could see it. Thanks for reading,

General: New pages.

I've added the pages feature to this blog, more to come.

Battles: 1500 pts V chaos

I know I haven't posted for a while but their hasn't been much to say, anyway, onto todays game.

I played a chaos army with a dread, a rhino with berzerkers, 2 death claews one with berzerkers and one with plague marines, a greater daemon, some noise marines, some chaos marines and a daemon prince. All this against my 2 units of grey hunters, 1 unit of blood claws, ragnar, a rune priest, some wolf guard termies, 5 long fangs, a drop pod and a whirlwind. It was pitched battle with one objective each. I got thrashed to be honest, I couldn't stand up to the masses fire power and the deathclaw drop pod assault. I need to rework my list and tactics as I can't take hits even if i can deal with them.

Polls: what bse for the wolves (pics included).

So,  I have tried out some different ideas on spare bases. I did not paint these bases first but I will do in future. Please vote on the poll (left sidebar at the top) to help me decide on which one. If you have an opinion that needs to be expplaned then please vote and comment. Any ideas on base painting colour would be appreciated as well. Here come the pics:

Base no.1: gravel and grass.

Base no.2: gravel & snow/melted snow.

Base no.3: grass & snow & gravel

Base no.4: gravel & ice/snow.

So, which one do you like most. Left column, VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for reading,

Basing: What to use.

So, I have been thinking, for basing I have:

Static Grass
gravel
can get spikes/bits of buildings
can make snow
can get sand

I'm thinking for my wolves to use gravel covered in snow/rubble, maybe tiny sprinkles of static grass to make foot prints.

So, what would you sugest, I know I haven't been updating much but this will not be overly regular because I am not always working on wolves.

Space wolves: the whole army (pics finally)!

Hi, sorry for the long delay but I couldn't get the pics then I have only found time tonight to upload them. Anyway, on with the pics:

The whole army, lo0oks quite nice in my opinion.

What do you think of my rune priest.

Nice close ups of the blood claws.

Jacob.
