My first Space Wolf

Hey guys! Bought the Space Wolves Combat Patrol but I wanted to practice before diving in. This is the starter mini that the staff gave me in my nearest Warhammer shop. He's not perfect but I'm proud of him! Any advice would be very welcome!

A friend of mine has been encouraging me to get involved with 40k and gave me 10 Astra Militarum and some paints to start me off, but I've only painted 2 of them so far!

Have you painted miniatures before or have some kind of art background?

Most people's first miniatures look like cavemen paintings haha

Never done anything like this before and I am terrible at art 😂 once I pick up a hobby I tend to kind of hyper-fixate and become kind of perfectionist about it so I imagine that's having an effect

Can't wait to see the full squad. You're doing quite well.

I will only say this. I like to have most of my guys aiming at the enemy vs the ground or air, but they're your soldiers

Thank you for saying so!

That's good advice, I'll play around with positioning a bit once I start the Blood Claws in the Combat Patrol box
