Wow. I’ve got to add to the voices… these are incredible!
You’ve got to share the basing recipe too. Fantastic mood they set.

The bases are really easy and are just a stripped down version of my usual basing technique. First glue some dried roots to the base, ideally clipped from a fallen tree or shrub. Then apply some sort of texture medium/sand paint mix over the top, then go back and remove it from any realised areas of root. Once that's dry just paint it a bright green. Next you go over it all with some brown wash, then dirty down moss wash, and finally a brown earth pigment and a chromium oxide green pigment are brushed over the whole thing to dull it down and tie the miniatures into the base. then spray on your choice of sealant.  If I were spending more time on these I would add shards of plaster and carve in some mosaic/tile patterns.

I won an Ebay auction this week for a really large amount of still shrink wrapped stormcasts - 15 more vindicators, 3 annihilators and a lord veritant.

The annihilators are next on my list, but I decided to tackle the Lord veritant first.

Now in Theory I really wanted one of these guys in my army - Ruthless witchhunters who literally burn the taint of chaos out of reality with their lanterns - these are sigmars inquisitors, and for an army of questing knights it seemed only right to have such a warrior. Alas the sculpt is one of those that came out with the first wave of stormcasts and so it felt the cruel ravages of time far faster than many other minis. The pose was awkward and the proportions odd. So i promptly cut off the myriad important parts and stuck them onto a spare vindicator torso to make my Questor Veritant - A travelling inquisitor, whose lantern burns 24/7 as he cuts a path through the realm of shadow into ever darker uncharted territories.





Again the paintjob is nothing fancy - black spray, silver spray, wash, damage, detail. I did have fun with his gryph hound companion however as it gave a nice break from metal and cloth.

The army as it now stands is 2 units of 5 vindicators, 1 lord castellant, 1 lord veritant, 1 errant questor.

Currently on the workbench - 3 preators, 3 annihilators, and another 5 vindicators.

Almost didn't click on this thread (I despise AoS), but I'm glad I did.  Great paintwork!

Totally agree on the less chonky stormcasts - they look quite nice!
