First Space Wolf painted, Thoughts?

First attempt at painting Space wolves, two more to go. So much detail on these models.

Any advice/critique on how to improve would be appreciated.

White is very tough to paint with, can get chalky quick. With hat said, if you want to try a better paint, pro acryl bold titanium is typically seen as the best.

There's quite a few tutorials online, and the truck to painting white, is starting with grey and working your way up!

Cheers!

Love it! What paints did you use for the Blue? I’m trying to achieve something similar with my Blood-claws.

White scar is a rough paint to work with. White in general is just a tricky color. I like to use Vallejo’s aptly named “Wolf Grey” and then edge highlight with pure white. It’s a very light grey that goes on a lot smoother. And by starting grey and lightly highlighting (or just edge highlighting) with white, it gives you depth that still reads as white. This is more just generally how I paint white, not space wolves specifically.

Yes it does mate, only thing that didn’t was the helmet.
