tamthethird Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Thought I would post some pics of my current project - a Stormcast Eternals army in the Hallowed Knights colours with a vanguard hunter theme. I loved the look of the Hunters and it's nice that they've become a bit more reasonably costed in the new addition, but really this choice was all about the look and the concept. I've kept conversions on the subtle side, with the main one's being use of the old Knights of the White Wolf empire knightly orders sprue for head swaps and more fur cloaks. The main colours are - airbrushed Vallejo Metal Color steel + duraluminium for the armor - Metal Color gold with Game color sepia ink for the gold trim - stegadon scale green + sotek green for the "blue" details - game color Scarlet Red as the main pop color Since buying the Vanguard Brotherhood box set at the start of the year, I've chugged my way though: - Lord Relictor - 3 Vanguard Palladors - 2 x 5 Vanguard Hunters - 10 Liberators - 3 Raptors with Longstrike - 3 gryph hounds - 3 aetherwings On the painting table I still have a Lord Aquilor, Neave Blacktalon, 5 Retributors and 3 Prosecutors primed and waiting to go. Future additions may or may not include awesome warrior mages riding battle cats! Edited July 20, 2018 by tamthethird 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redking Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Looks great. I’m planning on painting my arcanum in Hallowed Knights and was wondering about the blue. I wasn’t keen on Macragge Blue, but I really like the Sotek. Nice graphs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the same - tried a few different blues, but didn’t like the sort of “high elf” palette you get with some of them. The hint of green in this was what I was after. Baharoth Blue for the edge highlights brings it back a bit. Edited July 21, 2018 by tamthethird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alezzika Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Looking great! Love those Gryph riders, they really pop. Not Elfy blue at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord marcus Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Gryph chargers look sexy. How'd you do the grey? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steps for the chargers skin were: 1. Zenithal primed - Vallejo German Grey Primer all over, Vallejo Game Air Cold Grey @ 45 degrees, White from straight above 2. Airbrushed a thin basecoat of Fenrisian Grey all over with Mechanicus Standard Grey fading out towards the ends of the limbs and the tail 3. Painted in very thin layers of Mechanicus Standard Grey as recess shading 4. Highlight up with glazes of Fenrisian grey with progressively greater amounts of Ulthuan Grey up to about 40/60 ish (I'm guessing) with much less on the parts that were Mechanicus Standard Grey to begin with Hope that helps! Some work-in-progress shots as well: Edited July 23, 2018 by tamthethird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthethird Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Update! After spending months painting Kill Teams, I’m back on the Stormcast army train. Another unit of Liberators done and five Retributors are next up on the table. Looking to get the army done for the end of the year, providing I don’t get distracted by any other shiny shinies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthethird Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Paladin Retributors finished up this week and also my Knight Zephros, which is a very lovely model. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthethird Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Although mainly trying to stick to the Vanguard theme, I did succumb to the charms of the Knight Incantor. I mean, he's pretty sweet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthethird Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Lord Castellant. Another chap who makes it in the “Vanguard” list because he’s good in the game 😁 And an awesome model of course! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthethird Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 This army is now “done” at just over 2000 points. Actually it’s been done since earlier in the year given my refusal to add any sweet new Sacrosanct hotness. It’s latest outing was getting stomped by Hag-Nar temple nest, but I still love it just the same. Saved the Lord Aquilor until last 😎 Probably the only thing I will add at this point is a Celestant Prime. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maturin Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Beautiful army! I especially like the raptor with a red band in his hair, he looks like a commercial from country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
