Painting Space Wolves: Army Method

October 2009·pp. 26–27

THE SHORT VERSION

Chris recommends a production line that starts with undercoat and armour before moving to darker details. Short three-stage recipes cover red and grey hair, pale armour, yellow pads and fur. Spraying can scale the foundation to whole packs, although the armour wash is better controlled by hand. The method aims at a coherent army while leaving room for more refined character work.

The Space Wolves’ long-awaited return dominates the issue. The editor introduces their new book and models alongside the wider collection of gaming and painting material. Middle-earth reinforcements and a linked campaign provide another major theme. The month’s projects connect characterful armies to stories on the battlefield.

Codex: Space Wolves

The new ninety-six-page book combines the Chapter’s sagas, home world and fighting forces. Expanded background supports the image of proud warriors who temper ferocity with cunning. An army list and model gallery connect those stories to collecting and play. The release establishes the source explored in the main designer interview.

Space Wolves Pack

Ten plastic figures can become Grey Hunters, Blood Claws or power-armoured Wolf Guard. Extensive spare parts allow different weapons and personalities. Compatibility with other Marine kits spreads that identity across a larger force. The kit is presented as both the core of an army and a source of conversion material.
