Painting Howling Banshees #3

Nick speaking,

Right, that's the bone colour done. I was pretty fiddly and took many thin coats, but I think the end result looks great! First I built up the plates using Ushabti Bone, leaving the Earthshade in the recesses. Then I went in and edge highlighted the armour with Pallid Wych Flesh. Now to go in and finish painting all the details. Let me know what you think so far in the comments section below...

The Year of the Wolf (30)

Nick speaking,

Right, that's the fist five out of my twenty old metal Wulfen models stripped and converted. I still have to take them off the bases but apart from that they are ready for painting. I am really loving how these wolfies look and I can't wait to get started!

The Year of the Wolf (29) Wulfen Time!

Nick speaking,

Right, back to the Space Wolves, and as my Wolf army is the 13th Company, I am sure you can imagine how happy I am that the Wulfen are back! At one point I was going to use my 23 old school Wulfen models as Blood Claws, but not any more. First though, I need to do some conversion work. I have some experience cutting up these old metal models, as I use to play some of them as my Mark of Wulfen pack leaders for my Grey Slayers.

More to come one I have some conversions done!
