2. Shadow Grey basecoat
3. Highlight 1/2 shadow grey 1/2 Space wolf grey to pure space wolf grey.
Good Luck

agree with you, and finally, 1/2 space wolf 1/2 skull white for the last high light...

Nope. Great quality figs. Absolutely love them. Check out his Deathball Ogres and Fantasy Footbal Boris while you're at it.

Well i said i would post pics after i started painting, here's my first ones!

(they were taken on my crappy webcam, so they aren't that detailed unfortunately)

I started with a thrower as I have two, so I figured if it looked rubbish, I didn thave to use it.

And before anyone comments, it does look like hes wearing Santa's trousers and boots.

maybe the pics aren't the best quality, but his skin look very blue to me, not grey at all...

he looks like a smurf..

Yeah, I think the camera has somthing to do with it, the table next to it is supposed to be white, il have another fiddle with it, see if i can get the colour balance right.
Shadow grey is a bit on the blue side. The colors ive used are shadow grey basecoat, 1/2 shadow 1/2 fortress grey highlight, and a last highlight with fortress grey. I decided not to go up to space wolf grey as I wanted the fur to be a different colour, a bit lighter, so the skin ended up a bit darker.

Edit: I've changed the pics so they look better, sharper and with better colour balance. I've also added a pic of trhe lino I did yesterday. They all need a highliht of white on the hair and fur, I've run out, so haven't been able to do it yet, as such the fur looks a similar colour to the skin, it will be lighter later though.

OK, so I want to put numbers on my players. All of them have shoulder pads or back plates except the thrower. Where do people usually put the numbers on norse throwers?

Norse · Post by **Norse** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 1:30 pm

My Norse thrower doesn't have a number for that very reason, but as there is only one of them in my team it is not a big issue...

if you plan on having 2 though....

LordSigmund · Post by **LordSigmund** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 2:24 pm

No, just 1, but it does make him look a little out of place. I may just do it on his leg, or make a backplate out of greenstuff

Norse · Post by **Norse** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 2:36 pm

if it is a low number (i.e. not 689

) then you could maybe paint it on his "crow skull" shoulder pad....??

RE: the mino. Here's what I've got going for a norse Minotaur. He's just a WFB Mino that had 2 hand weapons. Snip Snip... file file... good to go. He's not done, but you get the idea. Sorry about the size.
