Legion VI - Space Wolves (finished)

Scientifically proven to be a bad photo.

Before anyone complains, yes I know the shoulder pad colours aren't correct and it's missing Legion symbols, etc. Just pretend it's before their Primarch was found.

And the photo is really bad. I'm in the middle of a cleanup, the lighting isn't setup again properly, and I still don't have a decent camera to use. Which is a shame, because the model looks very flat in this photo, but actually has quite a lot of shading. No matter.

Not really that much to say. The model was painted. I tried some contrast paint for the eye lenses, but really it didn't turn out much better than normal methods. The area is just too small and requires more shading than contrast paints are capable of.

There is one cool thing I did learn, which naturally isn't shown in the picture, and that's Black Templar over Leadbelcher. A contrast paint over metallics in detail areas works rather well. It's a different kind of shading compared to using any of the washes, so can be used to help differentiate parts of the model. I tried it on some cabling on the backpack, and it works really well. I've struggled with "metal cabling" in the past, but I think this might just work ok.
