I finally got the chance to make up some SW troops and get them painted. These are my newest Grey Hunter pack, Grey Veil of Night. Not major conversions, but even little changes adds character to an army. Every single model in my army is converted at least a little.
As with all my wolves, they carry axes for close combat, but the Grey Veil is equipped with silenced bolt pistols. Of course this is fluff only, no special rules. I just like the look of converted bolt pistols. They specialize in stealth missions when a scout pack isn't heavy enough to take on the job.
I went for a true grey color and a gritty look. I didn't want scarred or dirty armor, but a battle hardened look. I kept the highlights more subdued and shadows more pronounced. I haven't firmed up my ideas for army and pack markings yet, so those details are on hold for the moment.
I also decided to make one or two Wolf Guard on power armor (with different weapons) for each pack even though I never use them. I used the old metal Long Fang bodies with new arms and weapons. I really like the detail in the earlier metal Space Wolves.
