I've just finished the second squad for Space Wolves army. This is the squad of 5 wolf guard terminators. I was painting them for about two months. To be honest, when I started them, I thought that it is possible to finish them in a month. But my paints run out, that's why I could not finish them earlier. Furthermore, it took me a lot of time to finish last miniature. It was a sergeant, who was too laborious.
There are three bare heads with painted eyes in this squad. I painted left shoulder pads to everybody in the squad in red to show that they all belong to Harald Deathwolf's company. The right shoulder pad shows their relation to the wolf guard. And all of them have black left fist. I gave the name to the sergeant, his name is - Stein the Grey Head.

1st
He was quickly painted. It was my first attempt to paint the eyes. I have never painted them before. In the beginning, they looked mad, but then I corrected eyes by making them a little bit smaller. And now they look just angry, but not ferocious like before. And it was my first try of using yellow color, yellow is extremely hard color even with bright primer. It is always transparent. So I painted battle damage on the places, where yellow does not look good.
2nd
I decided not to draw yellow spikes on his shoulder pad to economize my time.
3rd
My second experience with bare head. Looks much better. And again yellow spikes with battle damage on them.
4th
It took me a lot of time to paint this one, as he have that assault cannon with.
5th - Stein the Grey Head
He was finished today in the early morning, before I went to sleep. And time which I spent on him equals to time I spent on four other members of this squad. I tried to paint that cloak and repainted it several times, here you can see the final result.

I use cork to make simple stones to make bases more interesting.
Very nice job. I really like the clean style of your painting. Very homogeneous. I'm sure it looks great on the table.
