Wolf Spear Space Marine
The Wolfspear is a loyalist Space Marine Chapter exclusively composed of Primaris Space Marines. They are descendants of the Space Wolves lineage, raised during the Ultima Founding around 999.M41. Unlike traditional Codex Astartes adherents, the Wolfspear adopt numerous customs and organizational designations akin to their ancestral Chapter, the Space Wolves.

Happy Crafting.
Step 1
For the conversion I used Primaris Intercessor and bits from old Space Wolf kit.
Step 2
I also used 3D printed bits from Grey Studio that I got from there store. Amazing quality. You can also see here that I removed all the eagle symbols on the chest and the gun.
Step 3
To make the 3D print shoulder pad fit more in the model I used greenstuff to overlap the shoulder and the back of the marine. Here you also see the bits form the old Space Wolf kit.
Step 4
After we convert our unique model it's time to prime it with Grey Seer.
Step 5
After the primer I paint all the armor with Celestra Grey. Paint the backpack the gun, knife and the inner parts of the shoulder pads with Abaddon Black. Please don't skip the Celestra step it's really important for our technical paint to stick. The primer is to smooth.
Step 6
We base coat all the detail. For leather parts I used Rhinox Hide, for the fur I used Mournfang Brown and for the boney parts I used Zandri Dust.

Step 9
Place your decals, use Micro Sol and Micro Set to do this. The give the surface where you placed the decal a couple of layers with ultra math varnish.
Then the magic for this tutorial paint all the armor with Naval Streaking Grime for light grey ships.
Step 10
After a couple of hour dry time start removing the Streaking Grime with White Spirit and a cotton swab.
Step 11
Now edge highlight the armor with Ulthuan Grey. Because my tutorial pictures are so poor you didnt really see the highlight so I showed you guys where to highlight with red.
Step 12
We are going to create a gradient with shade inside of the fur. First shade 50% of the fur with Agrax Earthshade and then 25% with Nuln Oil.

Step 15
Highlight the leather with a 1:1 mix of Rhinox Hide and Karak Stone. Then make a scratch highlight with just Karak Stone.
Step 16
Shade the leather with Agrax Earthshade. Because of the bright highlights the colors will look much better. Edge highlight the back pack and gun with Corvus Black.
Step 17
Edge highlight the backpack and gun again but now with Eshin Grey. Then highlight 50% of the edges with Dawnstone.
