Melcavuk Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I've been working on my Stormcast host on and off now for nearly a year, with the majority of what I'd call "bulk" units completed or in the final stages of painting (5 more vanguard hunters are finished but not pictured, I have 15 protectors and 5 decimators along with two Concussor conversions to paint) which frees me up to do the most enjoyable part of the army. Characterful Conversions! I've just about finished the modelling on my Lord Commander for the host (Unique model, first of the host, general) who is in dire need of a name so suggestions are more than welcome. But most of all I'd love suggestions of characters, artillery pieces or monsters that people would like to see converted up that fit the theme of stormcast so that I can add them to the host! C&C Welcome as always! 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramer Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Dang son! That's some scary stormcast. What is the basis for the converted lord? Also will you be doing all the bases like the crossbow dudes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 The Lord is mostly Lorgar, he's the most slight of the primarch models so seemed like the best fit though I fully intend to use Corax to make a Celestant prime at some stage. And I'm not sold on my basing scheme for the Raptors currently, it'll either be that or a dead earth and bones style base to go better with the Anvils background 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkgunner Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Those are some lovely looking models! The basing looks awesome even if I'm not the biggest fan, to me it almost looks like the model and the base are melting together ( might be on purpose, still looking dope but not my cup of tea).The one base I really like is your commanders, where did you get that?Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 The base comes with Lorgar, the joy of forgeworld primarchs is the sheer amount resin display base that comes with it, he lifts out onto a 40mm gaming base that is just the round bit under him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMMachine Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Nice Paintjob. That gloweffekt is dang hot . The only thing I'm wondering. Why du three of your Vanguard Hunters have 32mm Bases instead of the normal 40mm Bases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mostly be down to batch building at 3 am In all 5 of my 10 ended up on the wrong bases, which will be corrected once I do armywide basing so they just got left as they are for now as when painting it didnt cause huge impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bottle Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Great to see you come over to TGA, Melcavuk! What about the great Stormcast you made out of the Slaughterpriest? Can't await to see your Lord Commander all painted up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold all my old Stormcast so I just have historic pictures of the old heroes sadly. Always a depressing moment looking back at a 3k army sold that I'm essentially building again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzaangor Management Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 These are fantastic. Never have the good guys looked so bad! Reckon the Aquilor has definitely had a reforging too many... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasetheRuin Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Love the Lorgar conversion. That's what I call inspiration. Keep it up!!Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Cheers guys, having dug through my vault of photos here's the key heroes from my last Stormcast army! If anyone has ideas for as yet unmade hero roles in a Stormcast army or unit types let me know and I'll get building! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 First ten of my fifteen Protectors finished barring basing for my growing Anvils host. Slow progress but I'm burning through my backlog slowly and happy with how they're shaping up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Finally sat down to start basing all of my Stormcast, slow effort and I need to tidy literally every bases edges but more colour on them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegisgrimm Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Awesome work, Melcavuk! I envy people who can get an army together anymore, I think I'm gonna be stuck in skirmish land for a good while. I really like the gold and black scheme against the blazing of the weapon blades. As I'm not a fan at all of the stock helms, I also like your use of Space Marine helms. Do you have a hard time getting them to fit with the gorgets (neck armor)? I've been thinking of using some MK3 helms for a cuple of my low-fantasy-feel Stormcast, but had been wondering.

I tend to remove the neck piece of the helmet itself so that I can replace it with grenstuff as the ball of the head for marines is marginally larger than the stormcast sockets.

Tommy Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Those grassy bases set off the black and orange armour perfectly; they all look so well-finished now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 My full 15 protectors are now finished and based (barring cleaning up the rims) these mark the last of my prepped Stormcast being painted until I can replace my compressor to start on the next load!

Veillotron Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Unbelievable, superb army - I love all the conversions (the new helms look so much better than the normal ones, and your Lord Commander is truly unique and imposing) and the paint scheme is both striking and beautiful!!!! Really, really impressive, congrats... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chumi33 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I was wondering if U remember what head pieces you used for the Protectors (The helmets), because I freaking love it! Hopefully you still know, because I know it's quiet an old post already. Would help out a lot!!! Freaking awesomely made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
