My pre-Christmas order to North Star included a pack of Wolves from the North Star Menagerie range. Having experienced a tad of painters block in the run up to all the Christmas malarkey, while working through the Latest Roman Legion I showed in the previous blog entry, I found it useful to paint the five wolves and unblock my painting mojo! Here they are ~
Foundry Granite Shade washed with Black Armour Wash and successively dry brushed with the Granite Triad, finally lightly dry brushing the heads and chests with Boneyard Light. All that effort and they just look black, so Hel's Wolves perhaps? The same basing process as with the rest of the figures for
The Saga of Bicca Biccasson project. Along with the rest of the project they may make an appearance in a future 2025 issue of
Wargames Illustrated as I'm off to WI HQ in the middle of next month for a photoshoot, having submitted a
Quick Fire! piece about the project.
Next up though on Tales From GHQ the usual end of year blathering. Then hopefully more Late Romans as I struggle towards achieving my modest 'two figures a day' painting target!
Lot of work put into them and they look very nice, well worth it, should be a handy little contingent on the table.
