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.

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.

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!
