Painting all the Shadespire Warbands

1st up is Steelheart’s Champions. These were finished quite quickly and before I decided to set up this project so there are only the 2 finished photo’s.

With all the details on the base’s I am painting them separately.

The Farstriders were the 2nd warbanded to be finished

Garrek’s Reavers with them finished that’s the starting box done and quite fast as it took just under 2 weeks to get the 3 warbands done. However Magorn’s Fiends have been on my painting desk for over a month without any progress, so I have started this project 🙂

So this is where i have got to. Once they are finished I will do a step by step post showing the advanced army painter technique that i use. It involves doing the block colour’s, quckshade colours followed by highlighting. Using this method I was able to get the 1st 3 warbands finished in just under 2 weeks.

In progress with the highlighting started.

That’s the Magore’s Fiends finished, so half way though all the warbands. The Sepulchral Guard will be next.

So a week to paint my next warband. The Sepulchral Guard are finished despite the heat making it difficult to paint.

As promised here is  a basic guide to how I painted them too.

I started with undercoating them in Army painter skeleton Bone.

Then I painted all the block colours. As you can see in the background I use several different companies paints.

I find that it gives a nice finish in a short time.

Once all the warbands are finished I will redo the photo’s of each finished group. Also including a back view too.

Work this week has been slow due to work and the heat in England making it difficult to paint.

With the arrival of a new project in the form of Daughters of Khaine Temple nest Warscroll Battalion. I have been motivated to get the Shadespire warbands finished. So the Chosen Axes are now finished.

The orcs and Skaven have also been started with the bases already finished. Once they are done I will have the work space to start putting together the Daughters of Khaine

Block colours and small details are now finished on the last 2 warbands.

Now it’s time for the strong tone, although I also plan to use some of the colour tones on them, and dry brushing.

P.S. Up until this update I have always done them on the P.C. but for this one I have completed it on the phone to test how well it worked.

That’s the last 2 warbands finished.

Trying to get the photo links to work but everything is running slow. i will what until later.
