Wolves of Orboros

Starting in on my Wolves of Orboros. Here's the idea so far, that I'm using on a test model:

Priming
*Prime with Duplicolor Sandable Primer Hot Rod Black
*Prime from top-down, and a little on the sides with
Bright Touch Light Grey primer
*Wash the entire model with GW Badab Black
*NOTE: touch-ups can be done with
VGC Cold Grey or VMC Black Grey

Base Coat

*Spear haft - GAFA Raw Umber
*Blade/pommel/armor -
VMC Bronze/VMC Tinny Tin - 2:1
*Gloves, boots, leather bindings/wrappings - VGC Beasty Brown
*Clothe bindings on chest -
RMS Deep Ocean

Shading
*Fur/clothing - wash with GW Badab Black as needed
*Leathers/clothing/armor/weapon - wash with
GW Devlan Mud
*Clothe bindings - wash with original color/
P3 Coal Black/VMC Matte Medium

Highlighting
*Fur - heavy dry brush of VGC Cold Grey
*Fur, pt 2 - lighter dry brush VGC Gold Grey & RMS Leather White
*Fur, pt 3 - straight RMS Leather White
*Weapon & armor - highlight with base mix
*Weapon & armor, pt2 - mix in
VMC Oily Steel
*Leathers - highlight with base color
*Clothe bindings - highlight with base color
*Clothe bindings, pt 2 - mix in
RMS Leather White

Detailing
*Belt buckles with RMS Honed Steel

Basing
*Standard Circle-style basing; for test model, just paint colors in for now.

Progress report

I finished Commander Stryker, following the standards for my Cygnar, and finishing up my first battlebox (after what five years?). And after some initial doubts he turned out rather well. Not able to get any pictures up here right now, since I no longer have a camera. Also, not sure what to paint next. Thinking about a number of things...
  1. Steelhead Halberdiers (using a fast approach with spray paint/washes)
  2. Kaya the Wildborne & 2 Argus (to try finishing up another battlebox)
  3. Gorten Grundback, 2 Gunners, and a Driller (for another WM battlebox)
Thoughts?
