Lord marcus Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Phase 2: Acquire Miniatures. Bought a knight incantor off eBay, and a friend is donating the unbuilt stormcast side of the 1rst edition starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord marcus Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Plan of attack: Sunday: pick up donated starter set from friend. build said starter set.\ monday = undercoat (if weather permits) and test miniature. Teusday: receive feedback here on the blog on the test miniature, modify scheme as appropriate, continue painting with updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord marcus Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Update: In addition to the incantor and the previous starter set I will be getting in the next day or two, I have some models! I was back at the family house and raided my project bins in storage. I found some stormcast! Unfortunately, some of them are missing bits. The Lord celestant on dracoth is complete, his body is unbuilt on sprue. 3 stormcast mostly complete, including a prime. The prime doesn't have a shield, the other two have thier breastplates but are missing shields and heads. Then there are two who don't have breastplates, shields, or heads. And then we have 3 complete liberators on sprue. Now the question is what to do with the partials, because as it stands I have 3 liberators and an extra Lord on dracoth I can convert. 3 is not a minimum squad. If I got all 8 fixed I could buy two singles on eBay to bring the squad to 10 men, but those partials are vexing. Anyone have any excess bitz?

Lord marcus Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Current progress on the test miniature. I've still got a bit to do on him tonight and I'm going to finish him off tomorrow. This is currently too thin coats of Vallejo game color heavy red and a wash of Flesh shade from Vallejo game color. Of course the wash is currently drying but I think I'm going to go for a sepia wash on further figures because the flesh wash didn't really strike me is deep enough in color to create Shadows. Sigmarite for your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinlvalentine Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 For red armour I'd actually use a black ink wash - do two thin washes and then highlight the edges with red and you'll get a really nice effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously this is more purple/pink but the principle is the same. Doing it with my Celestial Warbringer Stormcast at the moment and it's working really nicely. Good luck!

Lord marcus Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Went over the shield and shoulder pads, adding orange for a tertiary color. 3 thinned coats. Gave the white a third thin coat. I'm going to re work this on subsequent test Miniatures 2, 3, and 4. Highlighted the hammer to bring some silver back. The red will also be reworked slightly for test minis 2-4 Oh, And i also finished his base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord marcus Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Test mini 2: white primer boogaloo next to test mini 1:the bedrock. Celestra gray, ulthusn gray, white undercoat and sepia wash made some difference. Base incoming, as is test mini 3: black primer strikes back as well as test mini 4: 1 shade of grey primer. Once these test figs are done, I will pick a winning undercoat and continue working. I do have a commission upcoming though, so updates may eventually be sparse for a few weeks.

Lord marcus Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 First legal unit complete! There are 3 other dudes I worked on tonight not pictured. 1 completely done but without base, the other two halfway done. What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundercake Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 nice color scheme! it looks like your white is either not totally covering the base coat and letting it show through, or is a little thick and streaky. you could try to thin the white a little and do multiple layers of it. however, white is notoriously hard to do.

I have been thinning. Maybe my wash is too strong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundercake Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 maybe. it might just be the picture. the dark parts of the background may be messing with the contrast a little. Also, if you want a sort of grimy white, then you probably have what you are looking for! did you use a flash on your camera? if not, maybe try a couple of sources of light so it balances out the color levels.
