Pre Heresy Space Wolves

2:00 PM by Adam Smith ·

These pre heresy Space Wolves were inspired by the cover artwork of Prospero Burns by Dan Abnett.

As you can see, I've gone for a more unified, less bling colour scheme the metals are much darker, as is the armour on the whole while the Space Wolves Chapter badge is in its original Heresy era red. It really goes to show what a simpler colour scheme can do for your army.

I commissioned Golem Painting to build and paint 30 pre heresy Space Wolves Grey Hunters for me as part of an on going commission which would eventually end after 9 months with a completed Space Wolves army. I would of course pay for this by doing extra hours for work at the weekends.

Unfortunately due to my back injury, I can't stay sitting for long to do the extra work hours which would in turn pay for Golem's Warhammer 40K painting service to build and paint more Space Wolves for me.









They're really awesome. Sadly, they're now in My eBay Shop to help pay for the treatment for my back injury. Still, I'll be happy if these can go to a good home.

I'm really sorry to hear that your having to let these guys go, that really sucks. I don't mean to make things worse but this is literally EXACTLY how I imagine space wolves to look in my mind, I don't suppose you have paint scheme that they used on these models? I especially like the brass colour that is used instead of gold.

I've got a rough idea how Golem painted them.

Basically Adeptus Battle Grey base, 50/50 Adeptus Battle Grey/Fortress Grey drybrushed highlight, paint details and wash Badab Black and Devlan Mud for faces.

Why for all your sales I cannot bid from Spain, Adam??

It doesn´t allow me.

You only sell to UK and USA?

That's concerning! You should be able to bid worldwide.

Just check - no countries are excluded. You should be able to bid. Try refreshing...or something.

Try this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110591844407#ht_943wt_930

If that works, please let me know and I'll modify the rest.

Seems to be of a technical error on eBays part if this change is correct.

Those guys look simply amazing.

Going to see if I can commission some myself maybe, I absolutely can't paint but play all the time.
