Retreat From Moscow
Werewolf
I was a little undecided what colour scheme to go for, but decided that since I enjoyed the fast painting and end effect on my other wolves, I would replicate the scheme on my werewolf and see how it looked. Quite happy with the end result.
The model is by Otherworld Miniatures.
A quick painting guide for the wolves (more for my own reference)
- White base coat
- Grey wash all over
- Sepia wash targeting mid-tone and darkest fur
- Black wash on darkest fur only
- Drybrush white all over, lighter in the darker areas
- Re-wash with sepia if necessary (i.e. too heavy drybrush)
- Re-wash with umber on darkest fur if necessary

I was quite tempted by their vampire in bat form, thinking that it was a bit more universal/setting agnostic by being more bestial than the typical fantasy high… Read more »
I bought that as well ?. I will try and do a review by Sunday with some close ups.
