PAINTING SPACE WOLVES SPACE MARINES
In this step-by-step guide, we explain how to paint your Space Wolves
Space Marines and get them ready for the tabletop field of battle.

There are many, many ways to paint a Space Marine. You can paint them according
to a specific Chapter or make a colour scheme up on your own! Here we'll learn
how a Space Wolf can be painted using 17 colours. Once your model has an undercoat,
painting can begin. Follow the detailed instructions and check out the stage
by stage images as you paint your model for reference. Don't fret if the model
doesn't come out picture perfect in the end, painting takes time and practice
to master. Just do the best you can each time and be open to learning new techniques
from others. Before you know it, you'll be quite an accomplished painter with
models you'll be proud to game with!

The
face is given a wash of Bestial Brown with varnish added to the paint
in order to break the surface tension. A slightly thinned mix of 70/30
Shadow Grey and Space Wolves Grey was carefully painted onto the edges
of the armour. Try to ensure that the lines are of the same size and wide
enough to allow you to paint on narrower lines in the next step. All other
areas were painted Chaos Black. |

A
slightly thinned mix of 50/50 Shadow Grey and Space Wolves Grey is carefully
painted onto the edges of the power armour for the final highlight. The
gun casing, hair, and wolf heads on the backpack are highlighted with
a mix of Chaos Black and Codex Grey. The face is now given a highlight
of Bronzed Flesh. The chest eagle and wolf icon on the gun casing are
painted Brazen Brass. The purity seal is painted with Dark Angel Green.
The parchment of the purity seal, all dangling teeth, and the skull on
the shoulder pad are painted Bestial Brown. Any rune stones can be painted
with Red Gore. Your model is certainly suitable for gaming at this point! |

icon of the gun casing. Use Bleached Bone as the final highlight on the

shoulder pad. The eyes and teeth were finished with Chaos Black and Skull
White along with a steady hand! Shadow Grey is very steadily painted onto
all the soft ridges in between the armour plates. Finally Boltgun Metal
