Circle Pureblood Warpwolf

Hey everyone! 
I just finished my Pureblood Warpwolf!

So I used a lot of the same methods and colors as the Argus but I wanted to stick to the idea of white fur. As a disclaimer, unless otherwise stated, I use Reaper paints. I started by base-coating with Armor Grey. I felt it was too dark so I covered it with a coat of Weathered Stone, which the combination ended up perfect for the start of the layers. I then used different layers of very thin mixes of Weathered Stone and Solid White, changing the ratio each time working up to straight white. I basecoated all the brown areas with Muddy Brown.The armor plates I used Mossy Green as the basecoat.

 

For the fur patches I  used GW Agarax Earthshade wash followed by highlighted Weathered Stone the with solid White as the finish. The brown I scale up with highlights using Leather Brown and Tanned Leather, adding a wash or the Earthshade here and there. The stitches are Golden Blonde. 

The green was shaded using mixes between Leaf Green, pale Green, and adding white where needed to highlight.

Next the NMM was done the same way as the Argus. I tried creating some stronger contrast this time. I actually messed up the legs and arms and had to redo them due to my paint being to thick and I didn't mix the shades enough. I used the line I created in the greens to create a single light effect.

The base was the same as the Argus but it came out a lot more uniform, which I didn't like. I used the GW Thraka Green wash, using a brush at an angle to create the line effect.

That is the basics! Let me know if you have any questions and leave any comments! Stay tuned for more soon!

Circle Wild Argus

I jumped into MK3 Warmahordes with the new Circle of Orboros starter set. 

I decided to start with the model I was least enthused about as I was going to attempt a few new techniques. I have started priming in white and I am very much liking the results. Using my newly acquired reaper paint set, I used Muddy, Earth, Leather, and Tanned Leather browns to create the brown shading, using a GW Agrax Earthshade wash early on to create some initial contrast. Reaper Amber Gold is the highlights.

I used Pine, Leaf, and Pale greens to do the armor, using Solid White to highlight the topmost shade. The Fur is the same but ending in Golden Blond Highlights.

I attempted Non-metallics for the first time. I used Rusty Red, Burning Orange, Mustard Yellow, Golden Yellow, and Pale Saffron in layers and combinations to create the gold effect and using the Solid White as the finish highlight to give the shine.

The base insert was a mix of greys and browns and using some greens on the leaves. The eyes are just white (I liked the artwork) and the teeth are Amber Gold, Agarax Earthshade wash, then Golden Blond and Solid White highlights. The rim is Pine Green, then alternating Pale Green, Weathered Stone, and Pale Saffron using a frayed brush at an angle and a GW Thraka Green wash. I used Pale Green, Pale Saffron, and Weathered Stone to mark the points on the base.

I hope you guys like the model! This was a step out of my comfort zone using an entirely different paint, color palate, and new techniques, Next I will be tackling the Warpwolf Pureblood! Please add any comments, criticisms, and/or ideas in the comments section!
