Space Wolves: Grey hunters (Part 1)

My summer holidays started two weeks ago, so now I have spare time, which I can spent on painting miniatures. During last two weeks, I finished half of my grey hunters squad. And here are photos. 

Some more words about painting scheme. I tried to pick up such a color scheme that would be interesting to paint. As I wrote before, I want make them colorful, to use as many colors as I could. So here it is, painting scheme that I chose. Grey armor. It is not my own idea, I saw such armor painting scheme on several blogs and it looks great. I like it more than Space Wolves "official" color. Their armor color that shown in their codex is quite boring. Moreover, it is easy to paint and to highlight grey armor. Bronze and metal details. It looks good when dark armor is combined with metal and bronze details. Miniature looks richer. So I use metallics to paint different details. Scratches and abrasions. They make armor more realistic and miniature more live.

Right shoulder and knee pads was painted in red with black spikes to show that this squad belongs to grey hunters. And left shoulder and knee pads was painted in red to show that this squad belongs to Harald Deathwolf company. In addition, I added some runes instead of Harold company's symbol, as it is too complex for me to draw it.

P.S. It was my first and second try to paint head without helmet. Snow still looks cheap.

Sergeant - Eric the Red Beard (2nd). To distinguish him from others I wrote his name on the base.
