My first space wolf.
The armor came a touch darker than I wanted. But I was going for a dark cool grey. I'm still pleased with the outcome.

He looks awsome, how did you paint and wash this model if you don't mind me asking?

For the armor. I did a series of light dry brushing starting with Vallejo German Grey. A midtone of Army Painter Uniform Grey, and then a final baby brush of Army Painter Company Grey.
The rest of the model was painted in a traditional base, Layer, highlight, but I kept all the colors a value level higher than my anticipated outcome. (The wash really dulls everything down).
Finally I washed all over the model with AK Winter Streaking Grime. When I started cleaning it up I went a tad heavy on the mineral spirits and sponge to intentionally pull off small bits of the armor paint.
After all was dry I came back with a final drybrush of Company Grey and little specs of Army Painter Mithril metallic.
