Our pleasure, dude :). Hundreds more videos for you we've made since this one!

Amazing how different the colors look when you apply them differently. Just layering those colors gives you that baby blue that so many wolves players aren't a fan of, myself included. But with your method of stippling and drybrushing you get a more cool grey.

Don’t forget that wash stage! And it’s easy to overestimate how much paint from the later, whiter stages is there - it’s not really that much, which helps keep the contrast and keeps the blue looking bluer, with the ‘baby’ blue not there that much, more a trick of the eye.

Wow, I really like that chunky textural effect you're doing on these marines. It really lends an organic element to a very mechanical model type.

i used to drybrush all my space wolves, gives a texture to the armour that i love, but over the years i have sadly gone back to the more smoother Eavy look. Love the result you got, makes me want to paint one of my spare space wolves using drybrush again.

About to start on my Space Wolves, this was so handy! Awesome work, dude.

Stunning! This straight up gave me nostalgia back to 2001 when I first started and saw a GD entry in WD which was a space wolves squad that were all dry brushed.

Got my D set on Christmas Eve. Feeling a bit unsure but took the plunge . Longtime wolf player , started with some 1st gen. I love your videos and instruction. Great job. So far I think the brushes are just superb , quality off the charts. Just a pleasure to hold and use. I think figuring out the color jumps, damp pad saturation, the overall thinness of the paint and how much to have on brush the hardest challenge so far. I’ve seen improvement on my skill already. I nailed the best shoulder pad coloration yet. Never was able to do blend like this before. I also think 1st gen models and small areas are more challenging . Working on the perfect combo of D brush and regular round brush. When to use which one. I am happy I made this purchase and admire what you created. Just a pleasure to use and see my painting just getting better. Thank you

RN TANKIE just a drop, try some of the earlier videos for the technique, some scenery ones from about two months ago are good. I’m noticing I have to rewet it more than Byron does for mine though, every few minutes actually, and use my finger rather than the paint brush like he does. Just use your finger to test how much, a light sheen on your skin is all you need, and should be used before starting (a dab or two max)m to rewet (personal preference for duration, depends on how you’re using the paint at the time, try every few to 5 minutes to start) and use to clean at the end - check those cleaning instructions!

I don't often compliment myself, but I can make a vehicle look pretty damn good, especially if you want it to look like it's been dragged through hell and back, but infantry and characters....they're my Achilles heel, infact my army looks like I painted most of it then comissioned someone who can actually tell one end of a paint brush from another to do the vehicles!

Really enjoyed this. I'm 100% new to painting so had a few very basic questions, i'm not very artistic or creative so feel I need to understand the whole process a bit more! 1) Are you cleaning your brush inbetween each stage, or because you're mixing the colours anyway does it not really matter? 2) What are you doing with the texture palette? I can see you set your paints out, then you seem to rubbing off the excess, but what purpose does the texture palette serve vs a normal palette? 3) You're rubbing the brush on your hand a lot, why? 4) Is this too much for a beginner? I sort of understand what you are doing in general and it seems challenging to completely mess it up, but don't what to take on too much! Sorry if these are stupid, just trying to understand more!

I think they look better that way.... if marines were real, their armour would look used, drab, war torn and the shine wouldn't be there.... unless they never saw combat. You can get around the all over ''sandpaper'' look, with a trick i saw on another painting channel, mix a little of the colour in question, and apply the same style of stippling, but using a mix of gloss varnish and the colour you wish too enhance., very lightly! It then gives the impression of worn colour and worn armour on the edges, and more ''shine'' to the centre of what ever part of the armour you are painting. He demonstrated it using Vallejo paints and it does look good.

Pretty easily, just ignore them in painting, then block them in and shade carefully, add transfers, done! I hope that helps? Let us know in another comment if not, KZread is bad for notifications.

@@ArtisOpus Thanks for the tip! What exactly do you mean by block them in? I have a few space wolves upgrade kits so I'll be using those instead of the transfers

Can you use the same method for the Wolf Guard Terminators?

Hey Will, absolutely dude, if anything it's easier on larger minis :)
