Stormcast Eternals - Caution: OTT Minis

[Ray Rivers]

Keep posting the rest as they get done!

I'll do a group shot once I've finished painting all the Liberators gold.

And thanks to everyone for the encouraging comments.

Wow! That looks spectacular. What is it?!

It's a Khorne Fortress which will be released by GW on the 29th of August.

Wow!

Nice idea. I actually think it looks brilliant. I'm guessing that buyig the whole deal would be a lot of money though.

Wow, I thought it was made by the studio from smaller kits!

I wonder how they'll get all of that into a box... Looks bigger than the old Fortress to me.

It is, Tower,wall,keep,gatehouse are all separate,but we don't yet know how much is in each box.prices look to be around the £25 mark per section from leaks.

Bah, that fortress doesn't have enough skulls on it

Bah, that fortress doesn't have enough skulls on it 

Additionally, I strongly feel there aren't enough spikes on it.

I was thinking the same thing. 

Actually, the thing I found really interesting about the fortress were all the large "monster" dudes I haven't ever seen before.

Anyway back on track....mate, your painting is brilliant! Not a big fan of the models! I love that gold colour you've achieved!

[Ray Rivers]

Thanks Andy!

Actually there are so many offerings for folks to pick from I think it comes to personal preference. There are tons of minis I don't like, but I would feel really rude to go into someone's thread and say so.

Anyway,

Still haven't finished the gold on all ten minis, and it gets to be a slog at times, so I decided to try my hand at the leather details, and once again I followed Duncan's advise to base coat with Screamer Pink, wash with Nuln Oil and then highlight with Screamer Pink again. I tried that but the highlight just didn't come out as well as I would like so I used Foundry's Wine Stain Red instead.

Here's how it came out (boy you see all the imperfections in close...):

BTW... not quite sure why Chris found it was necessary to edit out the photo of the Chaos Fortress. These things are officially leaked by GW and can be found on DakkaDakka, Bols and Warseer forums.

But it is your call, so cool.

I wasn't trying to be rude Ray, it was more meant as a comment to emphasise how good your painting was than how bad the model was. But take what you want from it. Glass half full or half empty, your choice.....

[Ray Rivers]

Actually I didn't say you were rude, I said I, as in me would feel rude. No biggy.

Anyway... I think the mini's are ... AWESOME!

The "Hammers" are fantastic mini's, crammed with detail. And lots of variation as well, from different belt buckles, gauntlets, sword devices, etc. etc.

They are easy to paint too. Which is why I started this thread so that folks could see just how easy it is to get a real nice look. You can do as much or as little as you want, but they are still going to come out looking nice.

Lots of folks want to compare them to Space Marines, but I get a real roman vibe from them and I love the game mechanic which allows them to streak onto the table from a bolt of lightening... hence all the lightening bolts you see on the miniatures.

Are they OTT, as so many suggest... perhaps... but I love them!

And that is the first time I have ever said that about any fantasy mini collection.
