So in my haste I may have made a few blunders with the battleforce. Mainly fully building the drop pod before painting. Not a big deal but wont get as much detail in this one as the next. We live and learn.
The other models on the other hand are ok, I may regret fixing some arms in place, but the next batch will have learnt from that mistake.
To start the painting off I found a few models to do some prep on. Lets just say its been a while since I've painted so didn't want to mess things up.
Not the greatest quality of photo but basically the one on the right used space wolf grey, the one on the left was more shadow grey. I preferred the darker model but felt it lacked the space wolves feel (not gritty enough for pre-heresy, not light enough for modern colours). In the end I did a third model that was fenris grey -> badab wash -> 50:50 fenris grey:spacewolves grey -> 50:50 shadow grey:spacewolves grey. This came out really well so I stuck with it, deciding the first unit to be painted would be the scouts.
