- Basecoat using spray paint, Bosny Flat Black.
- Basic paint mix in airbrush -- 1/3 Tamiya Dark Sea Grey XF-54 with 2/3 Lacquer Flo. Recipe is credited to Paul Borja. Lacquer Flo brand I used was Hudson, but the Shak Boyz recommended Boysen.
- Simple airbrush highlight -- Eyeball in lighter shade of grey by adding Tamiya Flat White XF-2 to the mixture.
- Once dry, liberally apply Les Bursley wash. I used my own recipe to emulate Citadel Devlan Mud.
- For the yellow shoulder pads, I started with Formula P3 Battlefield Brown. In successive basic layers, I painted over that with Formula P3 Bootstrap Leather, then Formula P3 Rucksack Tan, then Formula P3 Moldy Ochre (which took me 2-3 coats for an even dull yellow). I decided against using a lighter Formula P3 Cygnar Yellow as final coat though. It just didn't go well with my test model.
- For the red areas, I started with Formula P3 Skorne Red and highlighted with Formula P3 Khador Red Base.
- For the fur, I started with Formula P3 Greatcoat Grey. I don't know how to go further with this one yet at the moment.
- For the flesh, I started with Formula P3 Khardic Flesh and continued to build it up with Formula P3 Midlund Flesh, then Formula P3 Ryn Flesh. To pull it all together, I brushed on some Formula P3 Flesh Wash.
- For the base, I started with Formula P3 Battlefield Brown. With successive drybrushing, I built that up further with Formula P3 Bootstrap Leather, then Formula P3 Rucksack Tan, then Formula P3 Menoth White Base and lastly Formula P3 Menoth White Highlight.
- For the metal areas, I just started with a direct coat of Citadel Boltgun Metal. I have a general idea how to proceed with that, but I'll document it here once I get it done.

Paint Recipe, Space Wolves
I've been known to experiment painting methods as I read about them. It should be all well and good but I tend to end up with a mishmash of semi-consistent paint schemes instead. Seeing how numerous the model count for my 40K project will be, I decided to document everything down so I'll have something to reference to.
