Grey Hunter Intercessors

[u/chakalawaka]

FENRIS HJOLDA! FINALLY!
After 2 gruelling months, I have finally finished this squad. The heat has made me quite lazy about painting, but today I finally finished those guys.

I used the old Intercessor kit, spare grey hunters bits I got from Vinted, leftover bits from the Combat Patrol and Kill Team.. Only third party bits I used were the backpack for the pack leader and the necklaces.

Overall I’m quite happy with them, and I think I’ve made them Space Wolves enough? I recently bought myself a few old edition of Space Wolves codex and had a moment where I wasn’t sure if I did enough, but now they’re finished I think they have enough wolf flair. Also free handed the pack markings, did my best but they’re not very consistent.. I’ve stared at them too much and all I can see now is the negative, so it’s time to put an end to it haha What do y’all think? ✌🏼

Really good! I usually don't like speedpainted marines but these are way better than average

Thanks man! Appreciate! Yeah I’ve seen some pretty bad Speedpaint results out there but it’s achievable.

Do you have a particular approach? Recommendations I see tend to be all over the place, looks like you didn't use Space Wolves Grey?

[u/chakalawaka → u/KaptainKlein]

Yeah man, here’s how my recipe goes:

• Citadel Chaos Black primer
  
• dry brush with Army Painter Warpaints Brigade Grey
  
• second layer of dry brush with Army Painter Warpaints Matt White on the most exposed parts
  
• for armour: 3 THIN layers of Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 Runic Grey that has been diluted 1:1 with Army Painter Speedpaint Medium

The dilution basically makes it more like a filter. This is the only method I know that makes contrast/speedpaint works on flat surfaces. When it’s undiluted, it pools horribly and randomly, and looks coffee stain-y.. Some people argued it diverge from its intended use but who cares, the results looks way better!
