Finally finished doing the Stormcast Eternals from the starter set this weekend. I will be the first to say I am not the world's best painter (in fact, I am downright lazy when it comes to painting!), but I don't think the results are too bad...



If you are interested in seeing the rest, plus a little info on how they were done, I have a page for you;

Nice! I really like them!

I haven't started mine yet. I'm determined finish my fleet of drop pods first Though, I have cleaned up a prosecutor -- the models are so beautiful.

If I may make a suggestion, I think your bases would look better with a couple of rocks, and fewer tufts. Also, I'm not sure what the treatment is on them for you, but they don't look drybrushed; if you drybrushed those with a light grey (dawnstone, or dawnstone then gently pallid wych), they would get a lot more contrast.

I think they look absolutely brilliant and will be using this scheme also. I haven't picked up the latest white dwarf but will do tomorrow. Apart from the gun metal scheme did you follow it exactly?

I would add I agree with the poster above about the tufts of grass though.

They stand out too much and take the eye away from the.models imho

Pretty much!

Eh, I like the tufts of grass, personally. They give the base some nice contrast, and I don't think they distract from the model itself.

Looking good to me (had a look on your blog). Am tempted to do the same now and keep the full gold armour for Primes and HQs!

Nice.
Painting the Stormcasts in gold is what I absolutely dislike.

Great job. I am getting a bit sick and tired of all the gold everywhere. Nice to see something different. I really like what you did there.

I love the look of your army.

I have decided that I wont add gold what so ever in my army, I am using leadbelcher instead and it looks cool.

Looks great!

Looking sharp. I am still trying to decide on a paint scheme for my force.

These are very nice. The Gunmetal/midnight blue is excellent - makes the gold ones look a bit derivative.

I also guess it lets you base coat in black which I prefer.

With the new GW paints, you can basecoat just about any model black, and the paint goes straight on. Really quite impressive.

If anyone is following this, finished the two new Stormcast characters this weekend, the Lords-Celestant and Castellant;
