DarkElf27 Lt. Brookman DarkElf27 ...Did you put a beard on a Dark Eldar head...? It's hard to make out on a Blackberry, but I think both bare heads are from the Wolf boxed set. Huh. The hair thingy looks really familiar. I'll have to rummage through bitz sometime and cigure out what I'm thinking of.
They both are space wolves heads. This is my first army, so I've only the basic space wolves stuff.

That way DarkReaper's thread won't be hijacked by others all the time. wink

Hey guildies!
Sorry for the delay but here are some well over due progress updates:
![User Image](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/Snikrot/GreyHunters06.jpg)
Seen here are a bunch of Grey Hunters that I've been working on. Believe it or not, they are not finished yet, as I plan on giving each pack a specific G.H. pattern on their right shoulder that isn't just pure red and then each pack will also receive specific pack markings across their armour (Think of the Phase 2/3 clones from Star Wars for reference).
![User Image](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/Snikrot/GreyHunters01.jpg)
I won't be doing those details however until all packs are fully painted because I honestly can't sit down and paint one pack at a time, I pick a few from each pack and do them up because that way, when all are done, there will be variations in style among each pack that will make them more unique among their brothers for observers who appreciate subtleties that is.
![User Image](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/Snikrot/GreyHunters02.jpg)
To better explain the subtleties, consider this:
Every G.H. in my army has variations in details from his brothers and while some have wolf pelts/tails, others have beards/hair or sword scabbards and ammo pouches. I personally can't stand when I look at an army and they are identical, it makes me think too much of a cartoon where everything is clean and polished. The soldiers of the 41st millennium battle through all types of terran, war zone and while some battle brothers will fall, others will join in for their first tour of duty. That being said, while their armour will be of the same basic design, the weathering, scratches and repair jobs will clearly reveal the veterans from the novices and add character to each set of armour. So why paint them the same?
![User Image](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/Snikrot/GreyHunters03.jpg)
Even for things like hair and beards, I grab guys from different squads and paint them up in small groups, each grouping being done with different colour combinations to ensure everyone isn't the same and that even goes for the skin colour, I make some lighter while others darker and some times I'll even through in a little red to give that angry-blood-rushing-to-face look.
![User Image](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/Snikrot/GreyHunters04.jpg)
With things like the pouches and scabbards, not all leathers are the same and depending on how they're treated and weathered, they will look different over time, so again I mix it up and make sure that for those who look closely, that they'll see that everyone has a little something different about them.
![User Image](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/Snikrot/GreyHunters05.jpg)
And finally, I've decided on my great company marking. Since I really wanted to keep my shoulder colours uniform and darker in nature (never really cared for that bright yellow, unpractical for night time hunters) I decided that G.H. pack markings would be red and black while the great company markings black and white. Which lead me to use the wolf howling at the moon symbol which works well for me since I always nicknamed by wolves the 'Shadow Wolves' because I always seem to fight really well in night missions... in the shadows of the pale moon light.
That's all for now, tell me what you think!
