Gave somebody's Space Wolf an armor touchup (lemmy.world)

This is somebody elses' model that I rebased and gave an armor touch up too while I was there. Not a full strip and repaint, so some underlying issues like injection points still on the mini, but still overall I think he pops a lot more now.

I like both, although yours is technically superior. The washed-out colors in the "before" picture combined with the snowy base give it a neat "walking through a blizzard" look. (I don't know if this was intentional or accidental.)

His Space Wolves were painted over a long period of time, with many different techniques and paint brands. This lead to them looking inconsistent. I'm doing a lot of work to make his army cohesive.

I get the appeal of desaturation, but I've found it tends to only work with very small groups for things like RPGs or for dioramas. For big wargame armies, I try to make figures pop to give them as much clarity as possible when there is a crowd.
