This week we have some wonderful wolfy warriors who are both underrated and underrepresented in the fantasy melange. So imagine my surprise when these guys showed up in one of the many subs I've been gifted from MyMiniFactory. All four of these are from Dragon Trappers Lodge and we shouldn't be surprised if a bunch more of them show up here in the inforseeable future.
These are markswolves and axewolves from
The Moon Enclave Pt 1, particularly bow variants A and E and tomahawk variants C and D. The paint scheme I chose is both easy and challenging at the same time. I liked the mental image of a group of black wolves loping through the forest on a secret mission so black was an easy choice. It meant that I wouldn't spend a lot of time picking out individual details in their voluminous fur but that selling it at all would be a challenge. I did some basic drybrushing up from a Speed Paint basecoat which seems to work OK though they could use more highlights.
Because their fur didn't take all that much time, I could spend more on the other details--and they have a lot. It probably doesn't show in these high res photos but most of their details are very small. I meticulously pulled out whatever I could and hit the metallics with a Nuln Oil wash at the end. Their eyes are particularly difficult so none of the usual heroics on these four. The bases came out particularly well this time around and as usual were mostly painted with palette sludge.
2025 finished mini counter: 12
