Murderfang is the *precise* point where the dumb things about Space Wolves wrap right back around to awesome.

Some say that Contrast isn't great for large flat surfaces, I say blotchy pooled paint and giant fingerprints are a proud traditional Imperium camo pattern.

I've seen people dial back pooling like that by going over the flat bits with a heavy-ish drybrush of the contrast paint plus regular white acrylic paint.

Or just keep going! Go back and highlight the light areas and make it all an icy/lightning/glowing sort of effect. Call it "Wolfrune Icestorm Frost-armour".

🤔 That might be a good remedial project in the future. I've just primed a bunch of Munitorum Armoured Containers that will end up looking pretty similar, they might make for good practice.

That could work too! I did hear a rumour some guy named Dave was threatening to run a Contrast master class out at Plamojuku, perhaps one could learn such sorcerous ways 🤔

Heh. I'm still too humble to say "Hide, set me up to teach Contrast Sorcery" from out of the blue, but I do plan on mentioning it next time I'm in the shop.

What I did today: came very, very close to finishing a second Impulsor, only to run out of Leadbelcher at the last moment :(

I'll be able to fix that tomorrow in Nagoya and hopefully thus finish *two* more Impulsors together on Friday, but I was in Plamojuku *today* and could have prevented the problem if I'd paid attention :lol:

There's all three easy-build plague marines to start the expansion of my Dusk Raiders. The SMH3 Plaguecaster will be next, just in time to get Entirely Too Many More plague marines on Sunday from Prim.

They are looking amazing and can't wait to see them across the table in Crusade.

Though given their War of the Spider buffs I think I'm about to reap some serious karma from playing codex marines 😰
