I thought that was the one but I wanted to be sure. It is close to the current GW colors. I believe it was the old Shadow Grey with a touch of codex grey in the basecoat. Highlighted up to SW Grey. Of course 10 years ago SW Grey was a slightly different shade.
I wanted an earthy grey for my current wolves which is what I mixed for the standard bearer. It is closer to the pre-heresy grey with just a hint of the current SW Grey in the mix & highlights. (I actually mixed Chaos Black, Graveyard Earth and Codex Grey as the basecoat.)
Thanks! I'm learning a lot as I go so hopefully they will get even better as I move along...
Thanks for the colour scheme!!
I´ll try mines and let you know...

I've updated Bjorn the Fell-Handed prior to detailing! New legs/stance plus an improved claw

So did I go too big with the new claw?
The old one was too weedy for Bjorn!
The new claw looks alot more in proportion than on the original Bjorn... I ended up swapping out the claws on mine with the heads of WHF Undead Scythes totry and make it look more "wolf" like... great job
If all the world is a stage and we are players in it .... can someone tell me where the audience sits?
Thanks! Undead Scythes would make great claws. I didn't think of them and ended up going the hard route and carving these out of plasticard!
Updated photos with claw housing. I did shorten the arm 1-2mm to make it a bit more proportional!

Bjorn is plodding along through the detailing process. I spent the last month organizing my bitz closet so he hasn't go tthe love he deserves!
I layered the claw, aiming to give it a more articulated look. I debated adding small round rivets to the joints but opted to leave it clean!

I also added a wolf tooth necklace as a nod to the old Bjorn model.

Some wolf head detailing was added to the hip armour. (I started with screaming skulls but decided I need to stay wolfy!) :-)

Andf here is the latest overall shot. I started to build up the base as I want it to be a mix of snow/ice/rock. Given the weight of this fella I want to give him a sunk in look...

Any thoughts are very welcome. I'm still not sure where to go with the wolf pelt but I have decided Bjorn needs a banner... So I think it will be the next item to get added on...
Cheers!
I really like the new chunkier claw.
