[BasetheRuin vs. Stormcast & Khorne]

All very nice, dracoth skin is beautiful

 

Thanks Praecautus! Stormcast look nicest when they are painted a little over the top, just like in the AoS art. Or that is at least the way I like them

Great painting going on here! Those chaos knights are looking awesome with that color scheme. The strong red together with that green spot color makes them look knightly (?), intimidating and old school at the same time.
Lovely vibrant paintjob on the Dracoth too. That head is close to perfect [emoji4] 
 
 

Thanks a lot Korpur [emoji1303] The red-green is a throwback to one of the first Eavy metal colour schemes for World Eaters. I loved it back then, and still do!

And because I couldn't resist, I also painted up the Bloodsecrator. As you might notice, I'm basing the Khorne in the same way as I based the Stormcast, to make it look like they are fighting on the same battlefield. I'll take some proper pics of him later.

Aha! It's time do resurrect this thread. I've been picking up the brush again lately, with the aim of finishing the whole of the AoS starter set this summer.  Yes, the whole set! My aim is to get some of my friends and possibly my little brother (well, he's 34) to play the game. And as I like both factions, It'd be a nice base for collecting both armies in the long run.

I got inspired by a blog post by Mengel miniatures on painting skin with washes on white primer. It's the perfect way to get through all these Khorne guys with (some) speed.

Well, enough talking, here is some (crappy) in progress pics I took with my iPhone. This guy only has a coat of white primer and 2 coats of Reikland fleshshade on him (and Seraphim Sepia for the banding, Agrax for the fur). Looks quite good already! NO amount of effort is required for this

And another one, this time with one coat of Reikland:

Mass production!

Time for a small update. I've started on the Khorne part of the starter box, wanting to try and finish the entire box. Which would be a first for me. Most of the starter boxes I've bought over the years have been half finished, neglected, or traded away, be it fantasy or 40k.

But no longer! (I hope ) The quality of the AoS starter is that good. First up, the Khorgorath, which I converted a little because the original face.. well guess I like the weirdness of it, but it's also a bit messy and hard to make out. I've put chains on him as a little nod to the old Chaos 40k dreadnought background, being chained to the ship's hull in between battles. 

And a head swap on the lord because I like the more classic Chaos Warrior look on him.

Wow, and here I was thinking the battleforces sold out quickly!

[The Rumour Thread]

We call them Sigmarines at our local. It's what they are, and feels less pretentious than, "Stormcast Eternals."

I always felt 'Sigmarines' is deliberately condescending towards GW/Age of Sigmar-players.

[BasetheRuin vs. Stormcast & Khorne]

Awesome army dude. Really like the red across both the Chaos and the Stormcast.

Thanks mate
It's just a slight variation on the 'official' colour scheme, but I like to think it makes a difference.

... And the rest of the funky bunch!

.. And the family photo. Hard  to fit these guys all on my photo setup

Alright fellow dark passengers, as promised some pictures  

Snagged the old Canon camera from my girlfriend and took some better pics of the finished Stormcast. Eternals. Must say the set was a blast to paint, with the Lord Celestant and the Relictor as my favorites. The only tiresome part were the wings on the prosecutors.. after a failed attempt doing it Duncan Rhodes style, I just got the airbrush and finished them the easy way.

 

[BasetheRuin vs. Stormcast & Khorne]

Thans for the kind words guys (and sorry for the slow reply). It was a big batch to paint in one go, took me the best part of fout months. I don't think I'll do that again soon, you miss the rewarding feeling of completing smaller batches of models.

But, they are all finished now, i'll try to get some proper pics up this weekend!

Hi guys!

 

Everybody has probably seen these minis a thousand times, but I still thought I'd share them with you. WIP shots of my fresh Stormcast form the Age of Sigmar starter set. This summer I finally caved in and bought the starter at my FLGS. The WIP pics are taken with my Iphone, but I hope to use a real camera once everything is finished.

 

In the (not so) foreseeable future, I also plan to do the Khorne part. They will join my unit of Chaos Knights (pics included) I finished just before the old World met its end last year. Back then, I was totally distraught (well, as distraught as ons can get over little plastic soldiers from a fantasy world). But now, having felt the joy of painting the new minis, I can't wait to delve deeper in the Nine Realms! 

 

I must say, I LOVED painting the Stormcast. The quality of these new generation miniatures is just astounding. I'm doing them in one big batch of eighteen minis, so I could use my airbrush to maximum effect. The gold was a three part affair using the Vallejo Game Air range:

 

- Base layer of brassy brass over chaos black primer

 

- First highlight bright bronze

 

- Finally Glorious Gold.I plan to add more contrast using GW Auric Armor and some more washes.

 

Until next time! And let the meat grinder grind on..

 

 

The green, blue and bone on the Dracoth is almost done. Just some highlights left do. Green is Incubi Darkness base, then the other Dark Eldar named green (keep forgetting the name). I added some gloss varnish to the mouth.

Batch painting!

And my Chaos Knights, still waiting to be rebased:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[The Rage Quit Amnesty]

I'm a long time Warhammer Fantasy Roleplayer and was really gutted about the demise of the Old World (and still mourning). I had just painted my first unit of Chaos knights when Age of Sigmar was released. The knights remain unharmed, but I sold off my entire chaos army still in shrinkwrap: more knights, warriors, Marauders, chariots, metal characters. About €250 worth of stuff, thinking I would never play Warhammer again.

But now, after watching a lot of great videos of people painting Stormcast, the new releases have made my hobby vibe return. As a result I have delved deep in the Age of Sigmar.. Starter box, knight Azyros, knight Vexilior and Dracoth cavalry are on the way!
