Dan's Grey Hunters

I have been painting these icky Space Wolves for my mate in Whangarei.  At the least I am getting painting practice even if I am not a fan of these loyalist scum :D

Space Wolves, meow

The sun like glow from a jam jar lid threatens to outside the ruddy woolifs

My crappy failing phone appears to take better pictures than my wife's camera Oo.

Full completed pack

Tau test model complete!

Finished my Tau test model. Decided on a Mars red planet type basing scheme. I think it contrasts well with the off white and grey of the Fire Warrior.

The next ones I paint I will try a darker OSL as on the current model it may be a little too faded.

Gobbo test figure

This is the test scheme for the gobbo army.

It also highlights my need for a light box as the shading etc is completely lost in this photo and as such makes the model look rather boring.

In "person" the effect I was looking for with the brown base coat with the "ink the shit out them" method over the top has worked well.

Tau scheme

OK so I painted up a Fire Warrior to make sure the scheme I decided on is nice and easy to do as I have a lot to paint. Turns out it is! Woohoo!

The poor man's light box.

Rob wanted to know more about my light box set up.  So rather than explain it over 50 msn messages, I thought I should take a picture!

I cut the sides and top out of a box I found at work.  I initially covered the sides in white A4 paper, but this was too thick, so I spent $ 2.00 bucks on a back of white tissue paper from Whitcoulls and stuck that on.

I have a curved piece of thin black card taped inside.

When you take a shot you want light on at least one side and through the top.

And now my wife's shitty camera can take semi reasonable miniature pictures.

Time - 30 mins, cost 2 bucks.

Light box for cheap bastards
