Fixing Boring Primaris into the Space Wolves

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Try mixing your green stuff then setting it aside for an hour or so. It'll start to cure so it's easy to cut, but still be plenty soft enough to sculpt and bend. If you can find the sweet spot between malleable and cured then it's like you're working with an entirely different product.

[@darthkek1953]

Also mixing different ratios.

[@rajabalitaji5289]

[@nap0038]

Woah, cool seeing you here. Thanks for the tip!

[@darthkek1953]

@@rajabalitaji5289 More blue for faster drying, harder results, more yellow for slower drying, softer results. Another tip is to rub vaseline into your hands & tools. Keeps them lubed!

[@kevinyoung6605]

Blue is the hardener. More blue, more rubber like. More yellow, more clay like. However, there is a point of too much of either one, and it won't cure.

I love watching what little twists you add to make them interesting. I think an interesting challenge would be the Carcharodons. Their colour scheme is just grey and white, so its a challenge to make them stand out.

[@robotsfillthesky8768]

Agreed. I would love to see how Jay would paint the Carcharodons. I also would love to see him free handing some of the exile markings on their armor.

I love Space Wolves. I've always felt that Space Wolves are one of the few Space Marine chapters that have fun and they encourage individuality in each models design with the little charms, teeth, claws and fur :P

[@valakvaltiel8823]

If i remember correctly, the 13-th is a pack of Wulfen lead by a rune priest who just travel the galaxy and sometimes help their fellow space wolves

[@ariekuykendall6631]

They’re all Wulfen and were found before Magnus the Red and the 1000 Sons invaded Fenris and nearly destroyed the chapter before the Fall of Cadia.

[@feedmesoon]

They were lost in the warp and the remaining used the 13th banners to honour them and all the space wolves who fell in combat.. Then the returned from the warp and most were wulfen and had scavenged armour from the choas guys they had killed

[@johnpauley2533]

I remember a bunch turned to chaos

[@sheilasherret9596]

My humble chapter request is the Sons of the Phoenix. They were created to be a different take on religious space Marines but accidentally look like an Emperor's children successor chapter. They don't have a tonne of lore, but I think they're really cool.

[@blastvader]

The 13th Great Company accompanied Russ into the Eye of Terror during the scouring. There were rules for them in Codex: Eye of Terror during 3rd Edition as they followed The Black Legion and Abaddon out of The Eye to fight against his forces during the (old) 13th Black Crusade, though I'm sure this has all been retconned now. This is where where Wulfen were introduced as a playable unit. SW only got more dumb from that point onwards. It should be noted though that a slightly earlier incarnation (Bill King's version from the 2E Codex and the Ragnar Blackmane novels) noted the 13th Great Company as being based on Fenris and containing all the Wolf Priest...or Iron Priests or something. I can't remember exactly. Also, in that version of the canon Russ left Fenris to find the Seed of the World Tree which he intended to use to heal The Emperor.

[@drymondgreen7667]

Great video dude! For suggestions on what to paint next, I would love to see some marines from the Badab war. Most space marines are just the progenitor chapters now a days, and it would be cool if you highlighted some of the great chapters that have fallen by the wayside. I still think you should do Marines Errant; it would be a fun challenge to paint an entirely metallic paint scheme. The conversation options are also great, you could build a boarding shield or build a base that's the destroyed remains of a spaceship's hull. I love your videos and keep on keeping on dude!

[@treyturner9707]

In an older codex the Space Wolves were described as a fantasy army placed into the 40k setting, they more than any other main chapter feel like a separate independent army so primaris units can sometimes look out of place compare to older ones, but this model turned out great!

[@Battlefang]

"primaris units can sometimes look out of place compare to older ones, but this model turned out great!" i see that you're not a proper space wolves fan, the model made in this video IS a insult to space wolves, barely an improvement on how GW currently wants us to make our Space wolves.

[@AshleyBlackwater]

@@Battlefang Dang maybe GW should give us a better primaris SW upgrade kit then. Or upscale the firstborn SW range since its prettymuch perfect otherwise.

[@rasspliffari]

Deathwatch is the ultimate painting project, every single unit is made up of unique marines from all different chapters

[@possiblyzslot838]

Hell yeah, I love their sheer variety

[@Picosaurus]

If you’ve got a spare chaos head, then an Exorcist chapter marine would be fun. Dark red, demon skull emblem, and their super secret ritual of having their recruits get possessed by a demon, exorcising that demon, and ending up with a chapter more resistant to chaos.

[@AshleyBlackwater]

Not lore accurate atall, but I have an exorcist in my deathwatch made up from a spare grey kngiht torso and helmet due to them being similar. Think it could make a larger killteam or chapter with GK bits mixed in feel more unique (along with being a colour you don't really see GK in)

[@pierrebalmain657]

Hello! Very nice vid! It is even more cool with the new balanced dataslate : once the saga is chosen, it is considered as completed and the associated benefit is automatically gained. For the Allfather!

[@Joe_Smo]

Good job Jay here’s a tip to remember about Green stuff though, It cures more over time and working with it can occur in stages. If you wait an hour to an hour and a half it’ll become less sticky and firmer. Experiment with letting it sit for a little bit before you start to work with it depending on what you wanna do. You can also use thin coating of mineral oil to get rid of fingerprints instead of water and mineral oil evaporates within a few hours.

[@cavemanbum]

7:37 - I'm sure someone has suggested this to you before, but if you use Micro-Set and Micro-Sol solution (from Microscale Decals), that will soften the decals so they can be placed on uneven surfaces and help protect them from cracking.

[@darkgeargaming1564]

Here's a interesting thing about their strategems. Once you complete certain sagas they each enhance a single strategem making them go from good, to absolutely brutal. Beastslayer gives you -1 AP and LANCE on a unit (Doing this when charging a knight with their cavalry can bring down a large knight.) Warrior Born gives you fallback/advance and shoot/charge Majesty gives you battleshock tests and a 6 inch consolidation. Bear gives you a 4+ FNP against mortals and psychic attacks.

[@jayhall1234]

For My current SW army I'm painting all the old first born units in 2nd edition colors, big and bright, complete with goblin green bases. But the Combat patrol being my only source of new primaris models is more grimdark with cracked ice bases and a healthy amount of snow. I'm pretty much just doing it for aesthetic reasons but I guess Cawl didn't get the memo on what the SWs colors actually are XD

[@kevinyoung6605]

Fine aluminum mesh used for clay sculpting can be used as cloth armatures. Cut it to size, shape how you want, apply a thin layer of miliput or aves apoxie sculpt, sand anything as needed when cured, and now you have a hard, clothed shape substrate to sculpt on.

The 13th Company followed the Chaos Marines after the battles on Prospero with the aim of anialhating them once and for all. Also due to their range from the Fang they became feral and existed on scavenging from whatever they found useful. Bolters were dropped in favour of axes and chain-swords plus hammers.

Fenrys Hjolda! I feel Space Wolves are the one Legion (and Chapter) that have so much flavor potential while building each model. Plus, there's a ton of stuff from 3rd party companies to add to the models.

[@Battlefang]

YET, Jay completly forgot about the 3rd party stuff such as the Primal Hounds which would have made this model leagues better than the end result. Jay worked with the Primal Hounds bits while the primal hounds campaign was going on in order to somewhat act as a promotion of the campaign, where were these bits when they were truly needed?

[@kenhitchcock4075]

Space Wolves are amazing to build and paint, the variations you can do are endless. Getting some primal hounds upgrades is just one of many that I have used with my army. Love everything about space Wolves. @jay The space Wolves detachment now allows you to auto complete a saga at the beginning of your first turn. So if there are less characters you can kill you can immediately take sustained hits. Last night I had sustained and lethal hits before round two. Also Saga of the bear can be done with hazardous rolls on Njal or Librarians. It's luck based but last night I managed to fail the roll with my Librarian, had to choose though between Lethal or 6+ fnp 😢. Overall my favourite detachment from a fun perspective.

[@ieatstheinternet]

For one of your next Chapters I'd love to see you tackle the mysterious Minotaurs. Their bronze and dark red color scheme looks fantastic. They have some amazing 3rd party STLs too. If you want to get weird with it there is a hilariously loud alternate color scheme with yellow and orange stripes.

[@derskalde4973]

I don't yet have that much experience in working with Greenstuff and the like, but you could try creating stuff like Hair or fur with something like Nail scissors. Take the Greenstuff, bring it roughly into shape, but leave it a bit thicker, and then take a small, fine pair of scissors and start cutting little V shapes into the putty in a way, that roughly resembles overlapping scales. After that, you can either cut smaller V shapes into the big ones, or take a hobby knife and start "cutting" into the V shapes until the structures resemble tufts of hair. I used this process to create a (in lack of a better word) "mane" of feathers on a shaman like figure, by placing a piece of putty on the back of the Mini's head, neck and upper back, cutting those V shapes into it, and then flattened the Vs a bit and carefully cut a structure resembling a feather into each of the Vs with a hobby knife.

Do the thieving magpies! Blood ravens are one of the coolest chapters because of their lore, and they are what drew a lot of people into the hobby through DOW games

[@deadknight1402]

Black Dragons - 21st (Cursed) Founding - Their bone blades should be cool to see on your models. Blood Ravens - Unknown Founding - Mostly just a DoW ask. Crimson Fists - 2nd Founding - The first chapter to ever be seen, having been on the cover art of Rogue Trader. Make sure they have a crimson power fist. Deathwatch - Ordo Xenos - You can basically use whatever chapter you want with this one. Flesh Tearers - 2nd Founding - A more vicious form of the Blood Angels chapter (they actually take pride in the Red Thirst, and are quite a lot more prone to the Black Rage than their progenitors). Plenty of opportunities for chain weapons. Also, Gabriel Seth's take on the Primaris Marines is based. Grey Knights - Ordo Malleus - Can you do this without any of the special parts? Or will you cave? Iron Snakes - 2nd Founding - Out of all art of space marines, one of my favourite will always be that one Marine with the respirator with a grill like that of a snarling beast, and the giant, thick, slab-like pauldrons. It's such an evocative image. Lamenters - 21st (Cursed) Founding - The checkered pattern on the pauldrons will give you a good challenge. Plus, we gotta love these boys. Mantis Warriors - Possible 8th Founding - Stealthy Samurai Marines. Rainbow Warriors - Unknown Founding - In the official lore, there's next to no information about them (though they do have rainbow-coloured plasma weapons according to a Trazyn novel), but there is someone who decided to do their own version of the Rainbow Warriors as an Aztec-themed chapter. Good luck on the fine rainbow stripes. Storm Giants - Unknown Founding (possibly during the 36th Millennium, so between 15th through 21st foundings, maybe older) - These Salamanders successors are described as being even larger and stronger than the marines of other chapters. I wanna see how you can do with kitbashing the size of your marines. Storm Wardens - Unknown Founding - Mostly because I love the idea of Scottish Space Marines.

[@redwillow1853]

I find the problem with the Space Wolves is you end up spending more money on supplies or 3rd party conversion bits to make them look more like actual Space Wolves. Also anytime GW makes an upgrade kit for them in 40k it is lackluster compared to other ones. Just look at the upgrade kit for both 1st born and primaris Black Templars. Hopefully they get a range refresh like the rumor mill is saying and a more extensive upgrade kit is included.

Wolfs hunt, so Sniperscope with a double drum-mag, for in case you have angered a bear or worse. I can see them using a Bajonet, you know. And a underslung launcher for some heavy dakka, I can see them wanting as well. Could be a short barrel (double) shotgun, a grenade launcher, a rocket launcher or even a grapple & climbing hook launcher with climbing rope winch. Naturally, it would need a bigger barrel for the main gun barrel. Plus several knives on his hip and extra drum-mags, like a double drum mounted on a mag, in between those two left front storage bags. And then a Power Sword. The alternative setup would use a power sword and a tower shield with a big gun with extra mags, mounted on the inside. And a couple of Ice-axes & ice-pikes, naturally.

Fists would be good and I think I have a recipe. I use the army painter zealot yellow contrast paint then come in with Yriel yellow to really make it pop. Its so easy to get a lovely gradient from bright yellow higlights to yellow orange in the recesses. Who knew it could be so easy to paint Imperial Fists. It used to be a horrible chore with multi layering, which had mixed results but now its smooth and simple to get really effective gradients in just two steps. Of course why stop there. Hit it with Agrax shade then bring it back up with the Yriel yellow. This gives a less pristine finish but with further gradients. Instant Imperial Fists. Although I have always been a Space Wolves guy, the first 40K novel I read was 'Space Marine' featuring the Necromundan Spiders being recruited by the Imperial Fists. I also love the Legion and the whole you havn't lived until you have died at least twice vibe, and to serve the Emperor even in death thing. Of course the flames licking up the armour doesn't hurt either. My Legion are lead by the Artel W Legion Chaplain who is a suitable command figure for this unit.
