Space Wolves - Snowy Savages
/
Warhammer 40,000 – I’ve painted several Space Wolf forces over the years, each one of them follows a similar color scheme and style to this latest project. One of the nice things about well established chapters is the depth of lore and the fully realized look of the army. Once you figure out how you’re going to cary out the look it’s pretty straight forward.
I always start with a slate grey color as my base, it’s a lighter cool grey color that I then apply a heavy wash over using Nightshade. You can get a similar look by applying the Contrast Space Wolves grey, but I tend to stick with tried and true techniques I’ve used before. The yellow is Iyanden Darksun which when you’re painting yellow is a lifesaver, a quick wash of Cassandra yellow really bring out the color. To paint the pelts I combined Contrast colors with traditional techniques.
