Undercoat
- Base coat the wolves in white.
- Starting at the top of the wolf and working down in roughly quarters, stiple a basecoat onto the wolf using progressively lighter layers.
- For the first layer, use Bloodfest Crimson with a bit of Fenrisian Grey mixed in, stipling the top of the wolf. On the mane and tail, you can stiple down a bit further.
- For the second layer, use Braineater Azure with a bit of Fenrisian Grey mixed in, going to about halfway down the wolf.
- For the third layer, use Ice Yellow with a bit of Fenrisian Grey mixed in, going down towards the belly, but making sure to leave the lower reaches white.
Refine Coat
- Add a thin layer of Space Wolves Grey over the model. Don't allow too much to pool, except perhaps in the mane/tail area. Go lightly on the lower reaches of the wolf.
- Next, stiple another layer on to the top of the wolf with a mix of Hull Red to darken the previous Bloodfest Crimson area.
- Mix in a small amount of Black into the Hull Red and stiple an even smaller layer on the top of the wolf.
- Drybrush Fenrisian Grey , focusing on the mane, tail, rib cage, skin flaps, and face.
- Add another thin layer of Space Wolves Grey to darken and smooth the upper reaches of the wolf.
- Wait for everything to dry.
- Drybrush Fenrisian Grey onto the mane, face, and upper reaches of the wolf.
- Drybrush Pale Grey Blue onto the mane, face, and upper reaches of the wolf.
- If necessary, tidy up with Space Wolves Grey again.
Wounds and Bones
- Basecoat each exposed wound with Ivory .
- Add a thinned layer or two of Bloodfest Crimson to each wound.
- Use a wash of Red Black on each exposed muscle area.
- Basecoat each exposed bone, skull, claws, and teeth with a mix of Ivory and Pale Grey Blue .
- Use Skeleton Horde on each exposed bones. On the teeth, concentrate the coloration towards the root of the teeth and leave the lower reaches whiter.
- Use the Ivory and Pale Grey Blue mix to highlight/drybrush the exposed bones.
- Use Skeleton Horde on the edges of the bone as they recess into the skin.
- Use a mix of Flesh Tearers Red , Shyish Purple , Basilicanum Grey , and Lahmian Medium to make a thin, dark red-purple mix. Use this on the edges of skin around all the exposed wounds to darken them. You can use this around the lips of the wolf as well.
- On larger exposed areas of bone such as the skull, thin a mix of Ivory and Ice Yellow and highlight the upper reaches of the skull.
- Use more Skeleton Horde towards the edges of the skull to darken it.
Eyes
- Basecoat each eye with White .
- Use Sky Blue around the edges of eyes where a glow from the eyes would shine.
- Use Akhelian Green in the eye sockets to darken them, leaving the actual eye white.
- Use Electric Blue in the sockets as well to darken them.
- On the actual eye, use Scale75 Pisces Cyan to add a fluorescent dot of blue on the eye.
- Finish the eye with a small dot of White .
Gore
- Use a mix of Black , Bloodfest Crimson , and Dried Blood . Stiple this on the mouth and any major exposed areas you want to add extra blood too.
- Use a small amount of Fresh Blood on the mouth.
- Mix some UHU glue with the blackened-red mixture. Use a toothpick to add it to the mouth and exposed wounds, creating strands if desired. This dries quickly so you need to work somewhat quickly.
