Here’s the second unit complete:

Second Cohort and a tweak to the wolf pelt technique.

Same steps as the first unit.  I did tweak the technique on the wolf pelts a tiny bit.  I’m wet blending the Gravelord Grey parts with a tiny bit of Sand Golem and trying to leave a few bits nearly white in places by barely touching the zenith undercoat.  I was trying to do this with the pens neat but found on the second time around that putting a small amount of water onto the pelt area first helps the blending process.  I just wet my finger in some water and then wipe it across the pelt so it is damp, not fully wet.  Then very gently tap on the Sand Golem in two broken stripes alongside the central area – leaving the edges untouched.  Then I mostly wipe this off with my finger – leaving a much paler Sand Golem tone in patches and recesses.  Then the grey goes onto the central section from the nose along the snout and then in a broad stripe down the centre of the back.  If it looks too strong it can also be wiped back with a finger to give an instant highlight.

When dry, I edge highlight the ears with black.
This is what I got:

So now there are two units.  I’m using these Victrix movement trays to help with moving them round easily.  I may base texture them if I’m keeping the army.
