Warhammer Colour Base: The Fang 12ml

The Fang is a cold, dark grey-blue — the Space Wolves staple and a superb base for stormy skies, steel-grey armour and chilly, muted schemes. Opaque and even, it gives you a moody foundation with plenty of room to highlight up.

Get it down early and the whole model builds faster. Fill out your base paints, then move up through the layer range — and grab a brush while you're here.
