Truescale Grey Hunter with Great Co Standard

[MarneusCalgar]

Thanks! It's hard to believe what a 1mm adjustment can do on these guys! I'm hoping to make some progress on Mr termie this weekend! :-)

Which grey are you referring too? The one on the Grey Hunter standard bearer with an axe or the older regular scale SW above next to the Termie legs and revised Wolf Guard? They are very, very different colors! :-)

Obviously the second one, hehehehe, but I looked again and saw it´s more similar to the new colours of Games Workshop...

Very nice models indeed

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.)

Very nice models indeed

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

and a close up of the new 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

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.
