Firstly, this will help me choose the setting for the new world which the crew are travelling to. Sand. Sounds like a desert planet to me! Secondly, we’ll need some models as I don’t already have anything that fits the description.

Time for a super quick paint job. Making use of Stynylrez light flesh primer which will do a lot of the heavy lifting for the scheme then some simple shading and washes. It took 3-4 hours to paint the 6 models. The steps were:

1. Very solid prime of Stynylrez light flesh primer

2. Airbrush Army Painter Werewolf Fur on the, er, fur..

3. Airbrush some magenta ink into the wounded areas

4. Burnt Umber oil wash all over the wolves, removed from surfaces with a makeup sponge

5. Diluted flesh wash on the bases

6. Drybrush Rakarth Flesh

7. Final details such as yellow eyes, Carrisbourg Crimson to redden the wounds, black snouts etc and black base rims

Done!
