What I can see looks good. Some light in the foreground would really help.

What I can see looks pretty good. Some close ups would be great :)

You know you have to do something with the bases more than painting them white and stick a rock or two...?

Apart from that they look great... some close ups would be lovely... :yes:

Well they are painted Space Wolves Grey then covered in snow flock.

Well they are painted Space Wolves Grey then covered in snow flock. Open to suggestions though.

I think their very good, especially the faces (from what I can make of them).

For the bases you should do them first, before the model. For me the bases dictate how a model will be posed (you could do this if you are going for nicely posed models, or not if you want a playable army). You should use sand on thebases and rocks (slate pieces is it that GW sells, the urban basing kit is good), and then add the models on top. I'd go for a rocky snow scape, as I picture fenris (and think have readof it) being a moutainous world covered in snow.

If you want to just simply improve, I'd snow flock the bases, so that the base only have snow and rocks on it. That would be enough for it to look good.

That's pretty much what I have done.

For the base I painted a base coat of fenris grey and then painted space wolves grey. I have added garden slate that I bought from a DIY store and then used snow flock on the bases.

You should use sand on the bases and rocks (slate pieces is it that GW sells, the urban basing kit is good), and then add the models on top.I agree. But you don't even need to buy slate from GW, you can simply make a thin disc from epoxy putty or Green Stuff, let it set a bit and then tear it into pieces, and roughen the sides with a hobby knife so that it looks like rock. That's what I did with this figure I'm currently busy with:

You'll find once you get going with your bases they're actually pretty easy to do, a lot of fun, and add a lot more character to your figure. It actually puts the figure into context.

Milliput(extrafine) works very well with making slate and stuff like that. Its what I use.

They look very good! Nice work! Would you be able to take some new pictures with more foreground light? I'd love to see these under better lighting conditions.

Also, you've mentioned that you have used snow flock on the base. Because of the lighting I can't be sure, but I suspect the flock layer might be a bit thin (it seems like I can see straight through to the base). Have you considered bolstering the flock with a second layer? Or is the photo somewhat misleading?

All in all, very nice work! Keep it up :)

It's probably misleading.

I'll have to see about getting hold of the camera (its not mine) and taking some close ups.

I didn't notice it was flocked already on the base. To make it look more realistic I'd use sand on the base first, then undercoat it all, so the sand is 'held', then finish after painting the model with a layer of flock. Therefore it would make the layer of flock look bigger.
