This blog will be used to monitor my Stormcast Eternal models in their various stages, to show off my army, and have some fun getting pointers and comments about my army and work.
The Fluff:
The Knights of the Aurora is a Stormhost from the First Striking, like the Hammers of Sigmar and thus bear the Hammer and Lightning bolt Heraldry.
The Borealis warrior chamber of this Stormhost is led by Lord-Celestant "Arturo Boreas" sometimes riding on his Dracoth "Prism" aided by his second in command Lord-Relictor "Amortea Luminu". They get help now and then from the Auxiliary Chamber commanders: Lord-Castellant "Solarius Skygazer", Lord-Veritant "Chiaro Scuro" and his officers Knight-Heraldor "Fulgur Halation" and Knight-Vexillor "Eos Coruscate".
Master scout and Reconnaissance leaders Knight-Azyros "Scintil Obscurea" and "Aurio Incandoria" and sky-archer Knight-Venator "Welkin Burnish" are also seen regularly between the ranks.
Rarely Knight-Questor "Solicius Dioptric" will be seen joining the army as he is mostly out on his own doing his missions from Sigmar.
Their motto: fortuna favet fortibus (Fortune favors the brave)
The Knights of the Aurora were selected based on their speed and agility. Only the best became a Knight of the Aurora. Sigmar deploys these chambers only when he sees that speed is of the essence and that it's better to send in small but fast and effective strike forces.
When these strikeforces are being send the lightning leaves a mark on the ground where they land. Crystalizing some of the minerals above the soil.
Their first task was to secure the Realmgate to Azyr in the realm of Ghyran (Life) where Arturo single handedly cut down a ravager-lord(1).
In an attempt to liberate the enslaved continent of Beryllius, Sigmar had cast the Knights Aurora Stormhost into battle. Led by a mighty spearhead of Paladins and Judicators, the Knights Aurora succeeded in overthrowing the Bloodtyrant and his nightmarish daemon cohorts, and reclaiming two Realmgates. Alas the cost was terrible, as well over half of the Stormhost fell as casualties.(2)

>>next part taken from my empire blog and edited a bit<<
The modeller/painter part of me:
I'm not in anyway artistic with sculpting and adding to a model this way, but I do not shy from adding some bits here and there that I have lingering around nor swapping bits out for others. Because of this most of the units you will get to see from me are pretty standard build.
As for the painting part... I'm a perfectionist and even with the rank and file units I kinda get carried away, hence why I didn't have much painted yet for back in the day.
The collector part of me:
Formost I think of myself as a collector, but due to a tight budget I am not able to get most stuff together as fast as I would like too. I hope the 2nd post in this thread will represent my collecting ability aswell besides the progress I am making on getting my models ready.
I'll update this 2nd post (and the 3rd aswell if I get my hands on something not Stormcast Eternal related) regularly, so check it often!
The gamer part of me:
Back in 1999 when I started this hobby I played pretty often with/against friends (Chaos, High Elves) and later I even joined the local gaming club and participated in a small tournament aswell (winning from a squickhopper/snotling pump wagon army). But the gaming group fell apart, the local club requiring 80% painted armies and other things in life made me stop the hobby for a while.
Picked up gaming again in 2010 when I met my newly aquired brother-in-law who played skaven. Had some stuff going on in my personal life again so stopped the hobby again for 6-9 months. Since the start of 2011 I'm back in the game versus skaven with 8th edition rule set and looking forward to start playing games on and off, maybe even at the local gaming shop (same founder as the gaming club back in 1999).
I also intend to visit the Eurobashes organized by this forum to have a blast at gaming. Where I have been 5 consecutive years now!

WIP Liberator(s)
got 10 of them currently in the production line, a bit further already then in the picture here

Keep the pics coming...and you know I prefer this over the GW gold. :)

There still will be GW gold added (but missing those paints as of yet.. stupid local gamesshop either forgets to order it or doesn't get it delivered), but it will be for the decorative stuff, like the shield top and hammer, pauldron edges, scales in the tabard and belt buckles and some assorted smaller stuff.
Loin cloth and the plume is in Mephiston red with agrax earthshade now and the parchment has the first layer of ushabti bone.
after the gold I only need to highlight the stuff to finish off the models, then onward to the bases!
-
Glad to see you start it up. Looking forward to seeing more colour schemes.
-
So finally bought some of the new gold and applied the first layer to the first 5 Liberators, sorry for the bit blurry pictures with my phone camera. Once completely done I'll take out the macro camera :)

They look bright, but maybe that's just the glare from a light or flash.
-
Wow, really nice paint schemes on them. The green and gold work really well together.
Great job! :::cheers:::
-
Evidently they aren't from Stirland. :icon_lol:

The box definately lacks that option for a single barefooted Stormcast :smile2:
Also, cool paint scheme my good man! It's nice to see ones that arent the posterboy scheme, keep it coming!

So after the most left one (doing the G-W gold scheme) I wasn't happy with the results at first, so now tried a few other ways out.
Differences shown on the top of the shield (and less visible here on the pauldron edges)
(https://wargamingbysks.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/gold-schemes-liberators-front.jpg)
(https://wargamingbysks.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/gold-schemes-liberators-top.jpg)
So first is:
Retributor Armour base - Reikland Fleshshade - Auric Gold Armour (brightening) - Liberator Gold (highlight)
Second:
Retributor Armour base - Reikland Fleshshade - Liberator Gold (highlight)
Third:
Retributor Armour base - Reikland Fleshshade - Retributor Armour (brightening) - Liberator Gold (highlight)
After viewing on the picture, still not really happy with the first (looks a bit gritty), second sharp contrast that I like, but like the third one also, which flows better.
Opinions?
-
I really like the gold effect you have achieved. Against the green it really pops out.
I like the Eternals rules but my forces need to be more squishy so Free Peoples for me.
-
I'm liking them all, but the middle dude stands out for me.
-
I like the middle one most, it seems the most subtle. It was close between it and the 3rd. (right hand side)
-
I've got to go with the middle one as well. Couldn't tell you why, but something about it looks better to my eye.
-
Hi Steg, have you fought with your Storm Casts yet? They look great so would be good to see them arrayed for battle.
-
So I went with the middle scheme, fixed them up yesterday evening, only to finish the highlight on the metallic armour now to finish the Liberators (besides basing)
Hi Steg, have you fought with your Storm Casts yet? They look great so would be good to see them arrayed for battle.
I did the scenarios from the starter box mostly, but not yet with the painted models (and mostly on empty green boards). And I only have the Liberators so far painted. But will post pictures as soon as I have them ready for battle :)
-
Here are my finished Liberators (bases will be done with the whole group from the Starterbox)
First group:

And both Primes:

Highlighting the armor reduced the brightness of the gold and that's a good thing.
Best looking Storm dudes I've seen so far. :eusa_clap: :::cheers:::
-
Excellently done, indeed. I really like the shields and how they turned out, hope to see more!
-
I bought a Citadel Wood thursday and have now assembled it.. well the bare trees as I first want to paint it up before adding the leaves. But before that it's back to painting the Stormhost.

I can 100% advise you to do the leaves seperate, as you are planning. I painted 6 woods in a week. By the end of it I had come to 2 conclusions. 1) I was glad the leaves were painted seperately 2) I would never paint a wood again!!
Tip: When you are sticking the leaves back on after painting, try and use a fast drying hard sticking glue. On my first wood I used plastic glue but I had to hold it for a long time and it kept bending off due to the weak connection point. I ended up using super glue.

Here a few pictures of my work in progress of the Retributors, Prosecutors and the Lord-Relictor

Only to add the Celestral grey to the lightning emblems then I can apply the first wash of Nuln Oil

Another Work in Progress picture.
Still need to do a lot of highlighting on these, and made some progress on the Lord Celestant

Sorry, but not seeing the last two posts where there have been pictures.
weird as I see them, and I know the FB album is set at global setting, not friends or something, from where the links are taken. And they are no different then all the other pictures (same FB album)
-
I'm seeing them just fine, on my work computer too.
-
This morning I had the same problem (with other threads too), but it has solved itself now.
-
Hmmm ... well I'm seeing them fine this morning. I guess it is another welcome to the wonderfull world of the internet. :icon_lol:
-
Amazing work, those Stormcasts look phenomenal! :eusa_clap:
Are you planning on getting the archer Stormcasts?(forgot the name) If my wallet wasn't spitting out moths I'd be focusing on those lads and sword-armed Eternals.
-
Judicators, and yes they are on the agenda, but my wallet isn't very forgiving either
-
Pre-Highlights on Lord-Relictor, been working on highlights this evening, hope to put the finished Prosecutors, Retributors and Lord Relictor on photo end of this weekend

Very nice! :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap: :eusa_clap:
-
So it won't be too long now that I will finish my Stormcast Eternals (Lord Relictor, 3 Retributors and 3 Prosecutors and then the Lord Celestant will take a bit longer), so I would like to know some color scheme's for the Citadel Wood, mainly the woodwork and leaves.
Would like to know Base, Shade, Layer and Highlight colors for them. For the Leaves I was thinking abut doing to colors, spring/summer colors so green. Another time I will look into fall colors.
Thanks for any input you guys/girls can give me
-
So my next few units are done (even with Transfers, added those also to the Liberators) Hope you like them! (Still hoping on some paint tips for the wood), next up will be my Lord-Relictor, only a few more details to do.
Prosecutors with paired Celestial Hammers including a Prime (Starterset)

Funny, it's the wings I'm least satisfied with..

Somehow I didn't realized about this post. This is awesome!! I like them all!
A shading and then some highlights and those wings will be the best prosecutor wings I've seen these two months (haven't seen many, though) :::cheers:::

Really nice job Im actually starting to like AoS because of this, the script is impressive. :::cheers:::

It's actually shaded and highlighted (metal and gold), the wings them selfs are Glazed (the blueish) and highlighted (the white) as GW did them (more or less)

Vince this all looks amazing. Your painting is great.
How are you going to do the bases?

For now I have the following in mind:
PVA-glue some sand I got stored then Eshin Grey, shade Nuln Oil, dry brushing something not sure what, and putting down some or more tufts of static grass (scorched grass by GW) trying to get a good feel by the amount, not too little, not too much.
And should be highlighting the rocks also with something. But need to determine what will look great compared to the Eshin Grey, not so sure about the color choice done by GW (Tyrant Skull)

I really like the green and the gold look with these guys and the reddish leather really brings it together. The Lord Relictor does look a bit like Killface from Frisky Dingo, though, but just his head. :::cheers:::

I bought the Stormcast Eternal book and the Knight-Venator/Azyros (to build the Venator), so I added bit of fluff to the first post and updated the 2nd post.

They look fabulous! Amazing job on them and a bold colour choice! This is an army I'd love to face on the battlefield!

Great job on those stor casts I echo what Hagen said, bet they look great on the table.

Look GREAT Steg! I love the little blue crystals you added to the bases! They give the models just that little "something extra" to push them to the next level, IMO. And great work on your Draco! I love the black skin/scales! :::cheers:::

Citadel Wood, base is done. Wondering If I should add some grass tufts but then again when moving models across will destroy that..

There is something about this plog I find incredibly inspiring! Maybe the idea of starting from a small force and building it up to a sizable army and then adding the scenery elements to it, and in such a short amount of time! It looks like you found a perfect balance between painting quality and game requirements, even the questions you ask yourself (like the one about adding turfs to the wood base) shows this tension between perfect looking and gaming models! It's work like yours that inspires me to keep focus on a project and actually complete my goals, although I obviously lack your willpower.
Bravo!
-
Well done on the base of the woods. :eusa_clap: :::cheers:::

Thanks Baron v Klatz and GP! really appreciated!

Willpower? Yeah maybe with this new endevour it shows. But you haven't seen my cabinet of Empire and Lizardmen (and some stray Brets), though I am fiddling with the idea to mix and mingle painting those inbetween the Stormcast to get those done also, but waiting till we know more of the Seraphon and Free People (want to focus first on stuff that actually will continue). Also looking into getting my Starterbox of Khorne dudes painted, already thinking about a paint scheme.
As for progress, the citadel woods are pretty daunting and glad I split the project up now, to first finish the base and then do the trees and lastly the leaves.
I also catalog every paint scheme as I do them so I can reproduce it easily in a few months/years in a word file.
Anyway glad to be inspiring to you!
(pun time) You just have to stick with it.

Dun dun dun!
This evening I will be able to finish my Knight-Venator (last bits on do on the base) So expect some pictures later this evening :biggriin:

I do think I need to do some work on the wings as with the Prosecutors I'm not too happy with it. As with the tail of the Star Eagle I'm thinking of doing some blending technique on them. Trying it out on the Prosecutors first.
And going to add a bow-string, as soon as I find new drill bits as my previous one snapped.
And my other Work in Progress project (besides the Citadel Wood)

-
You've already done a great job here, StealthKnightSteg! :eusa_clap:
As for the wings, they would look much better with more shading (I'd start with a dark blue wash on the blue parts, then use a lighter version similar to the blue tone you used directly above these white parts). I absolutely love the colour combination on these wings though - and the comets are perfectly highlighted and look great with that blue background! :::cheers:::
-
Good lord does that knight-venator look bada**! :icon_eek:
Awesome job! :::cheers:::
-
As I said on FB, great paint job. Too bad I can't tell from the model what it is. At first I thought it was some sort of Eldar.
-
So finished up the Trees of my Citadel Wood, doing the brown base coat was a tedious work, but everything afterwards was a rewarding work.
Now only to do the leaves on these!

The one on the far left on the first picture looks like it has a handbag :p
Good work, at any rate :)
Is it me or have the Eldar come to influence the Sigmarines? That archer dude as well as the dude on his kitty really have Eldar vibes.
-
Bahaha! It does look like a handbag! :laugh:
I'm not sure where you see Eldar appearances except for the crests. Though the two you mentioned are supposed to be faster than the other ones so sleeker armor would contribute to that image I suppose.
If the Stormcast look like anything then it's the fusion between Smough and Ornstein from dark souls, IMO.
Anyway, great work on those trees, Stealthknightsteg!

Haven't looked at this thread for a while but really like the work. The trees look great and the venator really crisp.

And my Knight-Azyros "Scintil Obscurea" finished!

Despite my dispising the figures, you do make these look good. :eusa_clap: :::cheers:::

The runes on the twirly scrolls look great! Is that molded on the model or freehand?

It's etched into the model (deeper lying instead of a raised area) ideal for the washes to flow in, a drama to paint around with the layer colors

I'm lovin' the Emerald Avenger! :eusa_clap:

Decided to kick the bucket and buy myself the Stormcast Eternals expansion set to bolster my units especially on the shooting stuff. It's an investment of 160 euro's but saves me about 42 when buying the stuff individually.
Updating my 2nd post in a bit
-
Decided to kick the bucket
'Kick the bucket' means to die vince. I think you mean 'bite the bullet' to or 'grasp the nettle' meaning to commit to doing something.

I now started a blog as well to document all my activities, but mostly to cater for my fluff stories (they will come)
It can be found here:

And also handy is the more fixed url it gives to my pictures, as FB has the tendancy to move pictures around once in a while. (hence all the updated posts that has pictures)

.....even if it is for the foul chaos dogs.. :dry:
Great to hear about your blog as well! Can't wait for some fluff. :smile2:
Also, a bit off topic but I'd thought you'd like it, I found a small pdf on early Stormcast concepts in GW.

I put up some battle reports with some story going already, but still doing backlog work and posting those in the past (obviously you can do that with wordpress :) )

First unit of Judicators finished
Really happy with finishing my first unit of Judicators from the Expansion box.
(https://wargamingbysks.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/1-010-judicators-group1-front.jpg)
Judicator Prime is carrying the Shockbolt bow while the rest of the unit carry the Skybolt bows.
Backside:
(https://wargamingbysks.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/1-010-judicators-group1-back.jpg)
Now this didn’t go without a fight unfortunately. As I was struggling with the idea of way to many units that I need for my Warrior Chamber I’m trying to work towards. That reason was for me to try and find out if I could make this unit able to swap out their weapons. But then my OCD kicked in and I wanted to be able to swap all around to get the “perfect unit” that could be both.
(https://wargamingbysks.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/wip-judicators2-1.jpg)

(https://wargamingbysks.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/wip-judicators2-5.jpg)
In the first 3 pictures here you can see my experimental model that I worked out completely, bar the arrow/bolt cases on the back (Yes I wanted to make those exchangeable also). But even on the weapon options with the arm it was too flimsy to be content with and it also let too much room between the joints that I didn’t find aesthetically good. So I’m going for pure units now and only look for specialist weapon swaps if needed. Here with Judicators it isn’t. You always want the specialist weapons. Special Bow on Prime and Special Crossbow on normal member of the unit.

Finished my Khorgorath from the AoS Starter Set
It took some time and I had some distractions this past month to get this one across the finish line but all in all I really liked painting this model, so much detail and still with the few armor plates can be tied in nicely with my army theme of the Skullfiend Tribe.

We're gonna have to see a good group shot of everything soon. I have always been impressed at the amount of work you put into every model, not just the biggies. :::cheers:::

Are those terminators with chewbacca bowcasters? I see good 40K use of these models.
Nice painting SKS, I like the colourscheme. The gold green is one for the steel... :biggriin:
-
Those Justicators are so good! :icon_eek:
I was going to order some but I had a limit on my credit card so I just got Liberators (great amount of weapons) with glade guard to provide the shooting.
Working on my Stormcasts now so I'll link you to my page when I finish them. :smile2:
-
They look great, you consistently paint beautiful models, whats you head count? What are you using as the shade on your armor it has a tinbitz look to it?

I think Judicators are a must for a Stormcast army, we lack magic/anti magic and artillery, and we are low on ranged units, Judicators are the only good thing really. Prosecutors are nice but more an harass unit. Looking forward to see yours.

Thanks!
For the Stormcast (77 wounds):
4 Hero's and 1 one the way
26 troops (10 liberators, 10 judicators, 3 Prosecutors, 3 Retributors) and 8 inbound (5 Retributors, 3 Prosecutors) and a Gryphhound
Armour:
on a Chaos Black undercoat: Leadbelcher base, Nuln Oil Shade, rebrighten with Leadbealcher, highlight with Runefang steel

They look good SKS, One of them looks like he is holding a cannon!

Yeah it's the Thunderbolt Crossbow, shooting big blasts of Celestial Energy: roll a dice (-1 if monster) if result is equal or less then the number of models in the unit, the unit suffers D3 mortal wounds

So here he is Skardrax the Slayer ready to lead his Khorne Bloodbound on foot (real lord is on a Juggernaut) together with his faithful fleshhound.

Thanks guys!
Here is the newest addition to the Stormcast Family
A Gryphhound
(https://wargamingbysks.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/1-012-finished-gryphhound1.jpg)
(https://wargamingbysks.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/1-012-finished-gryphhound2.jpg)
As mentioned on my blog:
A little project that I could do this week is finished. After putting in some work trying to find a working colourscheme for it and laying the basecoat and washes. I worked on the layers, highlights and the base in 2 evenings.
After taking the pictures I notices a few little touchups (on the hind leg knee a patch of grey from the base) so they have been fixed now and he is truly finished now.
-
Where did that gryphhound come from? An out-of-the-box model, or a scratchbuild?
Overall, very good colour scheme and good eye-catching details. :eusa_clap:

It's an out of the box model. You can get it either by the Lord-Castellant clam-pack or the same content from the clam-pack that is part of the content of the Stormcast Expansion set

Thanks for the info, I've totally dropped out of what GW does these days. :::cheers:::
It's mounted on a 40mm base? So is about the size of earlier GW Chaos Warhounds, Mordheim Warhounds, WE Greyhounds, etc.?
Might try to get one. :-)

Yes a 40mm round base, but I think it's more slender then the other ones you mentioned. But I can't give you a comparison first hand

Beautiful! I'm really starting to like the stormcasts as an army. When I found out the four types of cavalry I think I became a convert.
I like the green in these guys. Different and also my favorite colour.

and I found my Stormhosts moto:
Fortuna favet fortibus (Fortune favors the brave)

But I am pretty satisfied with how these guys are looking, thanks!

Nah it ain't massive yet... you can see my model count on the 2nd post in this thread, but I never stop painting (due to the backlog of empire models) :happy:

Agree with the above 100%. It was sks's models that started my return to the hobby and I actually forget how I came across stegs work and blog (it may have been lustria online) and his battle reports that rejuvenated my interest and my joining Warhammer-Empire which has sealed the deal. I have a long way to go but at least it's a start.
@baron thanks for the link ! Awesome artwork!

Your most welcome! Keep doing what your doing please!

I certainly will! At the moment I have a Knight-Vexillor and 2 Retributors on the paint table. and thinking about if my Bright wizard is done (base contemplations) and if I should take some pictures yet or wait till I figured ut what to do with the base

A small update on what is coming for a slow growth league where we start an army (or continue an existing army), where we start with about 500 points.
(https://wargamingbysks.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/wip-005-commander.jpg)
The Liberator with Grandhammer will join (replace one normal loadout Liberator) my 1st squad of Liberator (build from the starterset with all hammer/shield) and a Lord-Celestant to complete a Start Collecting set (with a full group of 5 Retributors instead of an underpowered group of 2)

Awesome stuff! I just love the colors as well. Your definitely the inspiration behind my own stormcast using green as a main color instead of the usual metallics.

Thanks for the compliment but I'm nowhere near 'eavy metal material, maybe the army painters of GW that produce the bulk stuff for the scenery's. But I would go bonkers painting that volume :)
The Ordinator is one of the 4 harbingers that came out for Malign Portents. And yes, pretty happy the face worked out in 1 go :)
Awesome stuff! I just love the colors as well. Your definitely the inspiration behind my own stormcast using green as a main color instead of the usual metallics.
Still the silverish metal as a main color though, but I do try to break it up more with the host color where I can. And being an inspiration is always a great compliment, thanks!

Second unit of Liberators (the silver belt buckles) now have their own Grandhammer wielding Liberator!

And the third unit of Liberators (the copper/brass belt buckles) are also done!
Prime with the Grandhammer and 2 normal Liberators finished and 2 normal Liberators with the adjusted belt buckle color (as they came from the gold and silver units, being replaced by the Grandhammers)

Everyone a peice of art. Some don’t like the stormcast but I have to say I love em. This will eventually be the type of full fledged AoS army I will put together. They will also have the vanguard. Of course if Steg wants to paint it, I will step aside 😺
-
I'm still not a fan of the stormcrud figures, but ... I'm still a fan of Steg's painting of them, excellent. :eusa_clap: :::cheers:::

Those look awesome! I love the green on the shoulder pads. My stormcast use a similar green as their primary color.

Thank you!

Yeah I'm really fond of how the green, silver and gold interact with eachother together with the splashes of red. What green do you use?
-
I believe it's called Warpstone Glow, one of the GW paints. Its what they usually use on Salamander's. I started using it on my guys after my brother stopped painting his salamanders and I liked how the darker green looked.

Warpstone Glow is pretty bright, I use it as the higlight color on my Caliban Green base

Pardon the terrible picture, but this is the coloring on how my guys are looking. This picture is a bit old, so I still plan and did some more highlights and details, but it should give you the jist.

Ah I see! Combining green with blue there!
I would suggest to limit the amount of colors though as it gets a feeling of beeing to busy for the eyes
-
I fully agree. Moving on I'll probably skip the gold and make those parts bronze as well. I love how smooth the silver of your guys armor looks. I wanted to avoid metallic colors on my guys, just to do something different, but it looks great.

I didn’t say so the other day, but I have been watching your thread for a while and enjoying your work. Shame I didn’t stick around longer to see them in person!

Should of said so then I could just open a box and show you! So close and yet so far away (now) :happy:

I know! But thats ok. Meeting you in person was more valuable, and beating you in munchkin! :evil:

Same for me! Though I did miss you walking around in 'thongs' :Ohmy:

Ha! I didn’t pack any. First OS trip I haven’t. Which is fine, despite it being a lovely day in Amsterdam (and Kukenhof) today, I wouldn’t have worn them yet.

*Keukenhof* Kitchen court... strictly translated.. don't ask why :)
Still in the Netherlands? or already choo choo'ing else where?

Sorry, yes, was trying to pump out messages quickly. I knew it didn’t look right. We took a plane to Copenhagen today. Staying here for 5 nights - longboat ride, legoland, other stuff...
Also, we pronouced Bruges as Brugge because thats what they call it, however I have decided thats not what I will call it when talking about it elsewhere, because otherwise I would need to call all cities in their native tongue, which just gets a bit confusing. Rome / Roma, Milan / Milano, Florence / Firenze, Venice / Venezia, Paris / Paris (pronounced differently). Talking to other English speakers, but saying it the non english way will make me seem more pretentious than I do already (if I do?)....

It's been a little while but I got a new update for here!
As I got my Soul Wars box (and sold off the Nighthaunt part) I got some more models. Now as I was on pre-order day in the GW store I got a Sequitor model free to paint up and enter a small competition on release day. I got 2nd out of 7 in my category, so pretty nice!

And a group shot of the complete Soul Wars box (SE side) plus the extra Sequitor and an extra Evocator that I won with the lottery on release day (together with a nice Imperium shoulder bag)

I love the colors. The dark green and red robes especially turned out really well. I might end up doing similar colors myself, although with a bit more blue in places. The brown on the arms really breaks it up nicely.
-
Awesome! Agree on the colours👆
-
I like the dark green and red too!
