Coyote's Space Wolves WIP

[itsacoyote]

Hi guys! I'm new here as well as new to the whole miniature painting. I wanted to post some pics of my first ever set of space wolves in hopes of getting some advice to improve my painting.

Here's another set that I'm currently in the process of painting! Pictures aren't the greatest quality, only have my phone to shoot them.

They look really well,

how did you go about painting them?

The first set I painted them all by hand. The second set I practiced a bit with an airbrush I got to spray on the basecoat. I've been using Folk Art paint from Michael's, but I borrowed some Citadel paints from a friend for the second set and can really feel the difference between the two. I think I may have to get me some better paints :brushwave:

Looking good!
I would drill out the barrels on the weapons, and it looks like you missed a mold line on the the wolf claws.

Thanks! Those mold lines always get me, I find and take care of most, and then I find a few more lying around that I missed! I drilled out the barrels for the weapons on my second set, I hadn't gotten a drill set for the first one, though I can probably attempt to fix that up later.
