Matt’s Stormcasts

Now that I’ve finished my hero I couldn’t resit a big group shot of everything I’ve painted so far!

The last post brought me up to date so now I’m on to my commander.

I started this guy the other day by spraying gold then using an airbrush to paint up the skin on the dracoth.

I then built up the gold again where I had over sprayed and started adding detail.

I finished off the model in the same way as the previous models so he fits in really nicely.

I’m reasonably happy with the finished result but I think he looks a bit dark and the white doesn’t look so great. Painting white is something I need to work on!

I’ve had the Prosecutor models for quite along time and was never quite sure how I was going to achieve the sharp white wings easily.

I tried a few different methods using washes over white, highlighting white over grey but I couldn’t quite get the finish I wanted.

In the end I washed a thinned down GW blue wash around the base of the wings and a thinned down Army Painter Strong Tone down the wings.

The get the cleaner look I wanted, I airbrushed white from the tips of the wings to blend up to the washes. I then touched up around the top of the wings with gold where the white had over sprayed slightly.

After I’d painted up the Judicators, I ‘accidentally’ picked up the Blightwar boxset (a further distraction from the tale of 4 gamers format!…oops). I couldn’t resist a good deal on the Stormcast models!

My first job was the Hunters and the Aetherwings.

Next I added some archers.

I painted these a little differently. I undercoated with Army Painter brown primer then sprayed gold with GW’s Retributor Armour.

I washed with Army Painter strong tone and built up the gold as I did previously.
