Miniature Monday: Lord-Celestant on a Stardrake

A long while since I made an update here, I needed a break I suppose. I won't go into why and what not because that isn't interesting. What is interesting is that I haven't taken a break from painting, It's just that I have had a hard time actually finishing anything.

Partly because of this dude I'm showing you today. My second large model for my Lions of Sigmar Stormcast army is complete, and it's a really big one, the Stardrake. The rider is actually magnetized If I felt I wanted a Drakesworn-Templar instead (haven't painted him up yet though).

Even if this model took a long time for me to paint up I really enjoyed painting this, and I'm really happy with the end result. Also he looks great together with the rest of the army.

Will try to do more updates in the future, but I will be moving this month along with a lot of other stuff so I can't promise anything. Anyway hope you like it.

Miniature Monday: Retributors and army so far

Actually finished these two weeks ago but I haven't had time to take new photos, I have almost finished one of my Fulminators (I totally forgot how time consuming the Drakoth riders are!!) and working on five more Protectors as well.

Have been ill as well last week so not much updates for the blog as I had hoped to despite all the great things GW puts out! Like the new Stormcast book, will maybe do a review of that or more likely put together some lists I looking at for my first ever upcoming Tournament in April.

Until then, here's some pics of the army as well as the finished unit of ten Retributors.

Miniature Monday: Retributor Prime

So just a quickie today and an almost totally finished Retributor Prime. Did an small conversion on this one. I added a Tzaangor head from the Darkoth Chieftain sprue from Silver Tower and put some green stuff on. Like the result and makes it a little more unusal. More pics of him and the rest of the unit in the next couple of days.

Miniature Monday: Second unit of Judicators for my Lions of Sigmar

Actually finished these two weeks ago but never got around taking pictures of them. Well here's my second unit of my Judicators, painted them up quite fast (for being me) and with a better result than the first unit. Not much to say really, no conversions or anything, but I used the Realm of Battles bases for all of them and they are actually really nice to work with. Just need to add some more texture, stones, dirt and what not, but I liked how they turned out.

Thats all for today, working on my Retributors next and most of the base colors are done, so probably finished until next Miniature Monday. Cheers!

Miniature Monday: Lord-Celestant on Dracoth

Just a quick update today. This is my first Lord-Celestant on a Dracoth and I currently painting up another one (together with a lot of other stuff). But the first dude that came in the starter box didn't have a Thunder Shield, and now they have these awesome shields. So I needed to do add one to this dude as well, and the model looks even better now!

Sorry for the small update but didn't have much else that is finished, but working hard on my Fulminators at the moment.

Miniature Monday: Stormcast Eternals Paladin Protectors

Continuing working on my Stormcasts, and I really worked hard to pretty much paint these guys up during the past week.

I don't know if it show or not but a lot of time and effort is in the armour itself with all the highlights and what not. It's worth it though because the whole miniature is covered armour.

I really like the Protectors both as how the models look as well as in the rules, and I'm glad I'm finished with these guys. The sad thing is that I'm working towards having ten of these, ten Retributors and ten Decimators, so far five Retributors and five Protectors are done. But I'm getting faster painting these guys actually so... I'll get there.

Until then here's the first five. Next up is some gaming actually during the weekend and painting wise I will paint up something different. Probably something for Silver Tower but we will see. Cheers!

Miniature Monday: Lord-Celestant

This dude took more time than he should have. Probably because I decided to go with white on the one side of the cloak and the purple on the other. This took a lot of time, also I just wasn't happy with how he turned out. So I did white on his helmet as well and some other stuff and in the end I was happy with the result.

So one more hero for my stormcasts, I now have two more in the pipeline, the Stardrake and the Knight-Venator, both models takes a lot of time. Have done most on the Stardrake though.

But before I finish them I want to finish my protectors. Have done the base colours so hopefully they won't take to much time. I want to finish them and one of the heroes before this years end, hopefully even more because I'm looking for reinforcements :)

Miniature Monday: Retributors finished!

Painted two more Retributors, one with the Starsoul Mace and one regular guy. So now it's a full unit. Want five more though and three more Starsoul Maces but that will have to wait a little, next up is the Lord-Celestant on foot and five Protectors.

That's it for now.

Miniature Monday: Knight-Vexillor finished!

Continueng too finish more characters for my Stormcast army, this time it's the OP choice that many Stormcast players uses too throw in their best units into the enemy, the Knight-Vexillor with his mandatory pennant of the stormbringer.

Not much too say really, he is like most stormcast models too paint. But I'm happy with the result and that brings my army up too seven painted characters! Have some more characters as well as many troops as well. So will continue to paint up this army and it's still a lot of fun. Please tell me what you think!

Miniature Monday: Knight-Heraldor

Currently painting some characters for my Stormcast Eternals, showed you the Lord-Castellant two weeks ago and now I have finished my Knight-Heraldor as well. And it was an quite easy model to paint as well, especially compared to some of the models I have been painting lately like the Hurricanum and the Star Drake I'm painting right now.

So nice and easy, but I really like this model, and will eventually get the other Heraldor model as well.

Miniature Monday: Lord-Castellant and Gryph-hound

After I finished my Hurricanum I really got up to speed on my Stormcast Eternals. Currently painting a lot of characters and more Retributors. Also thinking of buying some more Stormcast stuff to give me more choice when it comes to army building. Mainly stuff so I could field an Skyborne Slayers battalion. And more Judicators of course, five is far from enough.

Anyway, first up of the finished heroes is one of my favorite Stormcast models, the Lord-Castellant and his pet the Gryph-hound.

I painted all the things before I decided to try an OSL effect on the lantern with my airbrush. Really nerve wrecking but I think it really made the model look more interesting. Tell me what you think!

Miniature Monday: Judicators

Another unit added to my Lions of Sigmar, the Judicators. Really nice unit to paint actually, quite easy the reach with your brush anywhere, no shield or anything in the way and such. I put some time into them though and hopes it shows.

Will take a full army picture the coming days as well as the army looks quite nice together now. Anyway that's it for today, cheers guys!

Celestant-Prime Finished

Hi there folks, have been painting like crazy for some time now and all that time I have put into this model... the Celestant-Prime.

I must confess I was actually quite intimidated and excited at the same time before I decided to paint this model up. It's a really beautiful model first of all, with a lot of details everywhere. Also it's that kind of model that don't take kindly to mistakes therefor I painted this one in many different parts before assembling it all together.

It was intimidating also because I knew this was a model I wanted to do the very best of my abilities when it comes to painting.

So I'm very happy to say that this model is probably the best paintjob Iv'e ever done and I have used pretty much all of the knowledge I have into this model. I think it paid of and I'm proud of how it turned out in the end.

Hope you like it too, now I'm off to paint up some more of the grunts for my Stormcast force.

Minature Monday: Stormcast Eternals Starter Set finished

Hey there, this will be my biggest Miniature Monday so far. It's actually not one, but two new units that is finished and that concludes the whole Stormcast Eternals part of the AoS Starter Set finished. I know I know, some guys finished it in a week. But I'm a slow painter, and I might have done some other bits and bobs in the meantime.

Anyway, glad it's finished and I must say I really like the look of it. Currently painting my Celestant-Prime and I have more reinforcements to the army. Will also buy some of the newest kits, dracoth cav riders looks awesome.

Next up is my second unit of Liberators. I will add more models to both units so they get their big weapons as well.

And I also finished my Prosecutors, damn hard to get good pictures of a whole unit of these, so I took a couple. Like how they turned out though and will add a second unit of these from the starter set.

Miniature Monday: Lions of Sigmar Lord-Relictor

Got some more Stormcast Eternals for you today, the Lord-Relictor! This dude took a lot more time to paint than what I first had thought for sure. The icon he has took a lot of time, as well as all the scrolls. But I like how he turned out in the end, regretted a little that I did no conversions, I have seen many really cool on the web and twitter.

They are really cheap to buy separate on eBay though so I might do a new one sometime in the future. But before that I have a lot of other stuff to do, next up for the Stormcasts are two more Prosecutors.

Miniature Monday: Stormcast Eternals Retributors

Been away awhile again, been much in my personal life and at work. I have been doing some painting though. And finally Iv'e finished some more of my Stormcast Eternals, please say welcome to the Retributors!

I really like these models, and I'm really happy with how these turned out as well. Next on my to do list for the Stormcasts are Lord Relictor and two more Prosecutors. After that, more Liberators a Lord-Castellant, gryph hound, Judicators and some Protectors. 

Miniature Monday: Stormcast Eternals Lord-Celestant on Dracoth

The Miniature Monday curse does it's job still... Well, for you who don't now, I often want to show a new finished model each Miniature Monday. Everything is done, then something happens. Computer crashes, I drop the model and his head fell of, suddenly you can't take decent pictures, kids can't sleep etc etc. Well this day was one of those, the battery in my camera went low, and I can't find my charger!

I took some pics before, they didn't get that great though so this one without full focus will have to do for today, promise to take more and better pictures tomorrow! If I can just find that damn battery charger....
