Fantastic looking models!

I agree with SJM. At least some of them needs some bird droppings

Maybe even an old birds nest on one of the models?

**Tidings**

Made an account just to ask OP, how did you get the stones to have such nice brown and green tones? Mind sharing the painting process?

EDIT: Nevermind I somehow missed it in the original post >.<

A CALL TO ARMS!
Well I've returned to my Stonecast Eternals Project at last after finally getting off the 8th edition hype train.

First up is my Stonecast Knight Heraldor conversion; I thought having an animated stone statue blowing a trumpet seemed too odd so decided to go with a bell. Which when hit hard enough can cause structures to collapse, so it's a very good bell lol!

**Ynneadwraith**

Hell yeah

been waiting for more updates on these

love the bell idea

**youwashock**

Glad to see you back, and a great model to jump back in with.

**OrkPlayer500**

That bell idea is excellent!

**Proiteus**

DING! KNIGHT HERALDOR'S DONE!
Getting back into my Stonecast Eternals and here's the first new addition; my Knight Heraldor. Really didn't make sense to give him a horn so I converted him to have a large bell to hit instead!

Was also worried about having a stone base but with all the leaves and grass it's doesn't seem to been an issue!

**Ynneadwraith**

These jsut get better each time I see them

the moss covering is especially neat

**bunnygurl**

Wow...just wow...SO much better than the gold GW ones.

**OrkPlayer500**

That looks amazing!

THE ART OF THE STONE; PART 1
I've had a lot of requests so here's a quick tutorial on how I paint my Stonecast Eternals

**CommissarKhaine**

Nice tutorial, thanks!

**Ynneadwraith**

Awesome tutorial

will definitely be remembering that for a later opportunity

**Proiteus**

THE ART OF THE STONE; PART 2

Glow effects have been added to the tutorial.

**Proiteus**

AUTUMN IS COMING!
My 2nd batch of Stonecast Eternal Judicators!
I'm really enjoying creating the autumn bases, the leaf punch tool from green stuff world is proving to be an invaluable tool.

**Dysartes**

The Stonecasts continue looking great, dude.

And the tutorial looks good, too - might have to try the stone recipe out on something

**Commander Cain**

Absolutely stunning, this is turning out to be my favourite of your many armies!

**Ynneadwraith**

Thanks for the tutorial

dead helpful, and a great insight into the work that's gone into making these stunning dudes

**Proiteus**

THE STONECAST ENTER SHADESPIRE!
Well the Stonecast are prepared and ready to enter Shadespire.
At first was worried the leaves didn't work on these bases and I added too much moss, what do you think?

Had to change Steelheart's stupid static pose to a more combat ready stance, and thanks to some donated bits I have vastly improved the original model.

**CommissarKhaine**

Looking good, and I don't feel the moss is overdone at all. New Steelheart is looking a lot better, definite improvement over the orginal

**Paradigm**

Great stuff!

Can you go into more detail about the repose on the leader? Where are the arms from?

**Proiteus**

Not really much to go into, it's the greatsword and arms from the winged stormcast models. Just needed a Prime head and shoulder pads to complete it.

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

This is amazing. I had no interest in Sigmarines *at all*, really disliked the massive size of the model. THIS... THIS makes them AWESOME!!!

Wow. I'm seriously reconsidering the models. I absolutely do not need another project to do and collection to start but just wow. I'm usually taken back like this only by excellent terrain, which I suppose is part of the attraction to this as they are "statues".

Very well done. Subbed and following with interest.

Also, forgot this:

Some of those have Dark Soulish feeling to them

Completely agree.

This project is really cool.

**youwashock**

The Shadespire guys are top-notch.

**Proiteus**

[Coming in hard and fast, work has begun on my Stonecast's heavy hitters!

**youwashock**

Awe-inspiring!

**Proiteus**

AN EARTHSHAKING CHARGE!!!
The ground shakes as the Stonecast Draconian Guard charge into battle!

Experimented with some vines on two of them, eager to hear some feedback on them?

**CommissarKhaine**

Nice work! Since you're specifically asking for opinions on the vines: in the top pic, the leftmost guard's dracoth, front leg has a vine that doesn't quite follow the movement of the model. Stylistically, they fit right in though.

**youwashock**

Wow, they look fabulous! Could we please get a shot of the whole group so far?

**JohnnyHell**

The autumn leaves basing is divine. Stunning work.
