Dark Age Of Sigmar - Painting Grimdark In The Mortal Realms
How I Paint Grimdark Stormcast Eternals
I’ve had some questions on how to paint Grimdark Stormcast Eternals and so I thought I would dive in and show you via this project. This is also an attempt to earn that coveted tutorial click from Gerry…
Start with an undercoat of black...
Drybrush with a suitable metal paint (in this case, it was Leadbelcher)
Fill in portions of the miniatures armour with that off-gold. I really like Balthasar Gold from GW as it works like a bronze/gold at the same time
Paint straps and belts with a dark brown
Provide some variety with a lighter brown on elements like scabbards and gloves
Go in and add a lighter colour to draw the eye. In my case, a red on the hafts of the weapons and strapping
Another colour for cloaks and robes. I went with blue to tie back to the classic colour for the Stormcast Eternals of the Hammers Of Sigmar
Hit the miniature with a wash of Agrax Earthshade and Reikland Fleshshade on the bronze/gold parts. Reikland also works to show rust
I missed this earlier but make sure to paint the gaunt, pale skin (I uses the Idoneth colours) and then highlight it back up after the wash
With the bases, if sculpted work in some classic standard grey...
...then get stuck in with the Stirland Mud and coat the base with the stuff. Don't be afraid to get it on the miniature!
