Space wolves paint scheme

PaulTattoo

I am not overly happy with the colour scheme on my wolves, I was thinking of repainting the armour but the guides online all mention having to mix a base colour rather than one being available. This seems to be to go for the "blue/grey" colour where as I prefer a darker grey colour much in line with GWs earlier schemes
I was thinking a codex grey with fortress grey as a highlight to give it some depth?
Any advice is much appreciated

That would work but I'd opt to use the new paints or an alternative range so you don't have to worry about running out.
I'm considering something similar as my Wolves colour was a 50:50 mix from the old range.

I looked on a colour conversion chart and I think fortess grey and codex grey are the new colours, they were called administratum grey and dawnstone previously?
trouble is I have alot of wolves to paint but think it needs doing before I buy more!

Other way round dude, codex and fortress are the old colours:-) I'd get Mechanicus Grey too for shading.

got the paints, got a few different shades of grey so hopefully one will be to my liking?
cheers for the advice and let you know how I get on:)
