Dystopian Wars - The Black Wolf!


It’s time to head back to the glorious steam punk world that is Dystopian Wars and in particular, take a look at that Russian mercenary of the high seas; Captain Vladimir Nikonov and his devastating submersible The Black Wolf!


With the model taking design cues from the great whales, I had toyed with the idea of going with a predominantly white paint job, in homage to that most notorious of all whales, Moby Dick!


Then I reminded myself that the vessel went by the moniker of 'The Black Wolf' and ended up reaching for the Chaos Black instead…


Fairly straightforward to paint, I went with the following:

Hull: Chaos Black undercoat, Codex Grey dry-brush, Space Wolves Grey highlights…


Metals: Rune Lord Brass base coat, Gryphonne Sepia wash, Bolt Gun Metal highlights…


Fins: Codex Grey base coat, Space Wolf Grey highlights, Black Ink for any lining…


Water: Fenris Grey basecoat, Space Wolves Grey / Skull White highlights, Asurmen Blue wash, varnish of Ardcoat…


With some unique and interesting rules that include the ability to present a ‘false target’ to the enemy via it’s on board echo generator, The Black Wolf is going to bring all manner of submersible subterfuge to the table top.

And mark my words, as if I were Captain Vladimir Nikonov himself! The Black Wolf will be appearing in a battle report on these here pages soon…
