Vakarian Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Since this is a Warcry-specific project I figured I would start by posting this here. I wanted to build and paint a Warcry Stormcast warband, and because Vanguard got released first, that’s what I started with. But I wanted to make the modeIs look a bit different, so I threw some kitbashed parts together for my leader, and swapped Sequitor heads without helms for the traditional Vanguard helms. I’ve just finished the first three models: the Hunter Prime (sword swapped to give him the “Blade of Heroes” relic in an obvious way), a Gryphound, and an Aetherwing. I’ll post the remainder as I go, and though I don’t move fast, Stormcast don’t take too long at least. The remaining Gryphounds and Aetherwings will all be painted to look like different, real animals. The Gryphound here was basically a test, browns could be a lot of things, and the Aetherwing was painted like a gyrfalcon. Enjoy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakarian Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Although they aren’t as good of pictures (not that the one above is great, in working in a poorly lit room with an iPhone camera), here are some individual shots from when I finished each model. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakarian Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Another addition to the warband... and he promptly rewarded his paint job by triple-critting an FEC leader to win me tonight’s game! Meet Zadion Brightheart, the oldest and saltiest of the Stormtorn, but also a dead shot with a Hurricane Crossbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramig Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Have you used any shade color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakarian Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Yes! The gold armor, the skin, and the leather are all washed with Agrax Earthshade. The blue areas and the silver on the weapons are washed with Drakenhof Nightshade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha you are the only person then who I know doesn’t suffer from new model syndrome. great paint jobs, and very impressive how you managed to build up the grey on the bird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakarian Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Thank you! I do suffer from new model syndrome, but only when the new models aren’t painted lol. So I should really paint more often... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakarian Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) It’s been slow going, but another Aetherwing is finished for the Stormtorn. I’ve played enough games now to be convinced that the Aetherwings are the glue that makes SCE Vanguard work as a scary good warband. Activations, flying movement, the ability to easily take objectives or tie up key enemy pieces, and the reroll double make the birds essential to really playing strong SCE lists. Anyway, enjoy the latest birb! Painting inspired by the North American red-tailed hawk. Edited February 19, 2020 by Vakarian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
