Work in progress for steel legion for terracon. I wanted a bit more of a ww2 feel to them so went with the greens & browns.

A mate suggested making the rifles completely gunmetal as the black with space wolf grey highlights is confusing, but i think it needs to be broken up - maybe a matt black with a dark grey highlight instead. Thoughts?

Any advice welcome, I like where the army is headed but just feel like some 'wow' is missing

please drill the barrel of your heavy bolter... it makes me sad to see good work go to waste or sake of drilling a hole. at least paint a black dot on there or something

Matty, I like mate.

One thing that would dramatically improve these boys is if you fixed up the guns a bit. Black outer casing is fine, but maybe try a clean line highlight with Codex Grey, as the drybrush-esque look with Space Wolves Grey has left it looking messy and takes away from the rest of the clean model.

I know line highlighting is a pain, but I have painted whole Black armies and feel for ya

yeah theres a black dot there but its been flashed out

Looking good.

Am I correct in thinking the look you're trying to get with the guns is that they've been in the field for a while and they're a little beaten up and scratched.
