Stormcast Vanguard Test Model

Watching a bunch of Soul Wars content today and rather than try to blitz through the Stormcast Vanguard straight away, I took a bit of time to consider a colour scheme for the Vanguard and how I wanted to differentiate the Stormcast chambers on the table.

So I grabbed a Hunter and went to town. This is the second attempt at him which I’m pretty happy with and this will be the scheme I use across all my vanguard.

Stormcast Vanguard Test Model

The steps are –

  • Spray with Retributor Armour
  • Shade with Reikland Fleshshade Gloss
  • Highlight Armour with Auric Armour Gold
  • Celestra Grey for the Pauldron, inside of cape and wolf claws
  • Shade those areas with Nuln Oil
  • Brighten again with Celestra Grey
  • Incubi darkness for Helmet Plume, sword hilt and cloth strap skirt thingy (what is that called?)
  • Shade those with Drakenhof Nightshade
  • Highlight with Kabalite Green
  • Leadbelcher for the crossbow gun and blade, shade with Nuln Oil
  • Pick out features of the crossbow gun with Retributor Armour and shade those with Reikland Fleshshade Gloss
  • Zandri Dust for the back of the cape
  • Dry brush cape with screaming skull
  • Shade cape with Agrax Earthshade all over
  • Allow to dry then shade with Agrax earthshade again, this time using it to define a pattern for the fur
  • allow to dry again and once more, shade with Agrax Earthshade to add further depth to the pattern on the fur.
  • The centre of the orb he’s holding is painted with Celestra grey and then painted over with very thinned down Nihilakh Oxide.
  • The base is Astrogranite Debris texture paint, drybrushed with Celestra Grey and shaded with Agrax Earthshade

Yeah @ajhawes and I, we are very much on the blitz train with our project (https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1222126/#snav).
This is a fantastic job, very excited to see how you approach others in the AoS range.
