Various Stormcast Eternals

 

More Stormcast Eternals. Some of these were painted for a game called Crypthunters and the others were painted for Lost Relics. Both are games you can get from Barnes and Noble. I have another set of all of these (except the guy with the staff) from Underworlds warbands. I probably won't paint those. The guys with crossbows were fun to paint, but the others were less so. I now have a small box that's just filled with various Stormcast Eternals. 

Warhammer Underworlds: Ironsoul's Condemners

More Stormcast Eternal. This time it's the Sequitors from Warhammer Underworlds Dreadfane.

These are the 20th, 21st & 22nd Stormcast Eternals I've painted. When do you admit you've got an Army?

I used Contrast paint with these. As with previous attempts with Contrast, I'm really struggling with faces when using it (although Gwynne Ironsoul's face is odd in that she's got her chin tucked down under her armor). Still doesn't look right though.

The rest had a Wraithbone undercoat, Blood Angels Contrast on the red, Apothecary White on the white bits, and Basilicanum Grey stones. Then I mostly treated it the same as the previous Stormcast. Red bits have washes with Agrax Earthshade and highlights with Scarlet and Fire Dragon Red. White bits have  highlights with Pallid Wych Flesh. Grey bits have highlights with Adminstratum Grey.

Everchosen Display Board: "To the Victor..."

July hasn't been a great month for getting miniatures painted. So I'm going to count the display board I made for the Everchosen Open Event as single miniature! Woot!

I took the picture as I was dropping it off, so it's not against the usually white backdrop. All of the miniatures on it have already been seen on this blog, but not in this format.

The original plan was to pit all the Underworld's Stormcasts (Farstriders, Steelharts, & Cursebreakers) against all of the Greenskins (Zarbags, Ironskulls, & Mollogs), but I couldn't fit them all on the board I made. So I jettisoned the Trolls and the Varanguard.

Gryphhounds

Here are the first 5 of the 7 Gryphounds the kids and I are painting. The blue one (back right) was painted by the boy, the middle one (looks like a bald eagle) I painted, the remaining three were painted by the girl.

The two in the back (red with white head, and blue with blue stripes) the kids are entering into the Under 16 Everchosen event. I think they have a shot at winning!

Yes, I'm counting these toward my month totals. :-)

Stormcast Knight Venator

This will be/is my Everchosen entry. I wanted something that looked impressive, and the Knight Venator is one of the most impressive Stormcasts that fit the requirements on the contest. He's from one of the Silver Tower box sets, although honestly, he'd be pretty cumbersome to use in Silver Tower/Shadows over Hammerhal.

I won't post this until after the contest has occurred.

I mostly just followed my standard formula for Stormcast's of the "Knights of Sigmar's Temples".

He looks good from a distance, but some of the fine details are a bit patchy. The wings were done using thinned down contrast paint [basilicus grey over admin grey, with dry brushes of pallid wych flesh and white scar white and guilliman blue in the recesses]. Maybe I shouldn't have done such deep shading on them. A pastel look might have come out better. I'm going back and forth on that. As always, edge lining wasn't perfect either (although I like to think I'm getting better at that). I think the bird came out well and makes for an interesting color contrast to the main model!

Here's hoping I do well.

Stormcast Knight-Heraldor

Another Stormcast! Soon I'll have all of the Stormcast command models painted, but not a single line trooper done. I think this is a Knight-Heraldor. The one on GW's page looks different (his sword is down and he's blowing his horn). He's from the Silver Tower: Arcane Heroes boxset. He's not Arcane hero though ... but GW had to put a Stormcast in that set, since everything had to have Stormcast at that time. His head is a bit smaller than all of the other Stormcast heads I've painted (or maybe his shoulder pads are bigger?). It's a bit weird. It's not a bad model, but it's also not my favorite.

Stormcast: Lord Castellant

The Stormcast Lord Castellant from Shadows of Hammerhal. This might be the last Stormcast I paint for awhile. I have a few more Stormcast from the original Age of Sigmar starter set, but I they currently aren't on the paint schedule. It's painted in the Red & White of my own Chamber: The Order of Sigmar's Temple.

Shadespire: The Farstriders

Finished another Shadespire warband. This time it's The Farstriders. These were oddly fun to paint, and the edge highlighting makes them really pop. I basically follow the same painting guide I used for the Space Hulk Blood Angels I did earlier. Once more, they are members of the "Order of Sigmar's Temples", also known as the Templars.

Shadespire: Stormcast

Finished the Stormcast warband for Shadespire. Used non-standard colors, typically they are painted gold and blue. If I ever paint all of the Stormcast I've picked up in various starter boxes & warhammer quest games, I wanted to make up my own Stormhost.

The Stormhost is tentatively "The Order of Sigmar's Temple". They are tasked with recovering Sigmar's holy sites across the Mortal Realms, guarding those holy sites, and protecting pilgrims that travel between those holy sites. They are made up of those heroes who fell defending holy sites throughout the realms during the Age of Chaos.
