Logan Grimnar of the Space Wolves

Here is my latest Games Workshop Space Marine model, Logan Grimnar, leader of the Space Wolf chapter. I purchased the miniature some time ago from e-bay and after stripping the paint he has patiently waited in the 'to do' box until I finally got around to painting him.

Of special interest is the fact that I painted the model over a Black/White undercoat, spraying the whole figure with Games Workshop Chaos Black and when dry, spraying from above with Skull White to produce a model that was already shaded, white highlights to the top and black shadows below. The Space Wolf Blue/Grey was custom mixed as I do not like the blue of the GW Space Wolves Grey.

In addition I have highlighted a little more than I would normally - GW call it Extreme Highlights!

The model is mounted on to a metal rock base that I picked up in a second hand bin some time ago and further mounted on to a round wooden base that was originally used as the base of an ornament. The snow effect is Icing Sugar, uPVA Glue and a touch of (tube acrylic) White Paint, mixed with a little water to produce a paste and applied with a brush in three separate layers. The 'snow' takes some time to dry fully and I would not recommend it for gaming pieces being a little too fragile to be regularly handled.

The miniature is 'stock' with no added details or conversions, just a little 'green stuff' around the join of the left arm to the body. My intention is to give it to my son and a desk ornament at his work, he already has one of my Space Marines on his desk, this will offer a little variety.

I would suggest that this is one of the very best Games Workshop sculpts, full of character and a dynamic pose.
