Heresy Era - Space Wolves - Ulrik the Slayer - Paint #1

Despite having to paint to a timescale I have tried to put some extra effort into painting Ulrik who, as the leader of the army, I suppose warrants some extra attention.

I'm sticking with a classic Wolf Priest scheme for the most part. As this is for a Heresy Era force the legion symbol shoulder pad has been painted with a dirty grey (Mechanicus Standard Grey glazed with some Agrax Earthshade) rather than the lighter blue grey of modern wolves.

The black and grey has been highlighted using Eshin Grey (for the black armour) then Dawnstone, Administratum Grey and with dots of White Scar in the sharpest points.

The wolf pelts have been washed with Seraphim Sepia and Agrax Earthshade over a basecoat of Rakarth Flesh.

I spent a bit of extra time glazing and blending on the helmet to get a nice smooth bone colour working from a base of Zandrii Dust up through Ushabti Bone with a final highlight of Screaming Skull. Agrax Earthshade was used for shades and glazes.

The Gold is Retributor Gold shaded again with Agrax Earthshade then highlighted with Auric Armour and Runefang Steel.

  1. I think this guy is singly one of my favourite models that you have made, the entire conversion just works and flows really well and certainly makes for a great centre piece character.

    See you should be less nervous about chopping up whole character models from now on ;)
