Song of the Earthserpent

So I've been collecting a space wolf army for a couple of months now. I've had about 5 or 6 games with them and really enjoy their style, a lot different from codex marines, sisters and guard (well, obviously guard..!) and I'm trying to paint all of them to a decent standard.

I've gone for deep blue, the foundation fenris grey for the main armour, highlighted with a 40/60 mix of bleached bone and shadow grey. The metallics are mainly shining gold, with a bit of light silver, and the red pads are mechrite red. So far I've done 1 1/2 units of grey hunters, and I've just primed 5 more and a pair of drop pods.

The list is built around flexable units of grey hunters in drop pods, and one or two TDA wolf guard with rune priests, also in pods. I've experimented with bikes and a dreadnaught but not really liking the outcome. They feel more like a points sink while the hunters and guard do all the heavy work. I'll post a list at some point.

As these guys are of a different paint scheme to the GW space wolves, I'm using these as another chapter. I'm not thinking of sucsessor or great company, (as I think both do not suit the space wolves) but as another chapter with similar make-up. The name I'm thinking at the moment, is the Song of the Earthserpent, and I have a few things running through my head, like homeplanet destroyed by a void whale they're now hunting, or a lean towards the Iron Snakes. Really liked that novel, damn you Abnett, I've collected 2 marine chapters and guard because of you!
