Great start. Have you got a list in mind yet?
Thanks. Right now, I'm sitting at 800 points with a few things in the mail. For 1000 points, I'm looking at:
- Lord Arcanum on Gryph Charger
- Knight Invocator
- 2 units of 5x Sequitors (w/3 Great Hammers)
- 5x Castigators
- 5x Evocators
- 1x Ballista
I think if I change the Lord Arcanum on Gryph Charger to foot, I can free up 60 points for some Endless Spells. Going forward to 1500, I will add another unit of Sequitors (I think I want a unit of swords ), another unit of Castigators, another Ballista, and another hero.
As for painting, I really like @tamthebird's Vanguard where he uses Stegadon Scale instead of Macragge Blue. However, I think I'm going to go with Thousand Sons and Arhiman Blue. I also want to keep the gold to a minimum, probably the shoulder pads and a little on the swords. I'm also going to paint the scrolls a parchment color instead of blue because I really don't like how that looks.
Hopefully, I can get these back on my painting table soon. I have one more Imperial Knight to paint for my 2000 point House Hawkshroud.

Well, I decided to start a painting log. I’m not sure how well I will keep up with it, but here it goes.
I started with Warhammer back in 5th edition and 40k during 2nd. Dwarves and Eldar were a strange pairing. I’ve painted a variety of armies and took a break for a while there. I really didn’t care for fantasy 8th and 40k 6th/7th. However, AoS finally got me back in and I love 8e 40k. I started back in with Khorne Bloodbound and have a large army and have dabbled in a few others. I’ll try to add pictures of other stuff later.
I’m currently working on Stormcast because I like the new Soulwars stuff, but I didn’t want to go the gold route. So, I decided on Hallowed Knights.
I got a new airbrush (Badger Velocity) and layer down Leadbelcher, Ironbreaker, and Runefang Steel. Then I gave them a wash of 50/50 Drakenhoff and Nuln Oil Gloss. I kind of wish I would have thrown down a gloss coat first to put it more in the recesses, but I think it will work. My next step is to give it a good dry brush of Necron Compound.
My converted Sequitor Prime. I used the easy build prime and added the easy build castigator prime’s arm and helmet. The extended the hammer handle to make it a great hammer.

Wow. This prime is stunning. I look forward to seeing him finished. I also really enjoyed your NMM gold video. I’d love to see a video on NMM silver. All of the videos I’ve seen are no where near as detailed and just look Grey.

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.

Very nice. It's a unique paint scheme and well executed. Can't wait to see him based.

Looking good. Man, I wish I could get hold of some of those Necropolis Knights.
A little bit of this and that

My knight was at the stage of awaiting decals and I didn’t feel like doing that, so I threw a squad of sequitors on my painting table and laid down the base coats. I’m going to have to do something with the should pad on my converted Prime because I really messed up the Stormcast emblem. I’ll probably add a purity seal or something.
