Stormcast Eternals - Caution: OTT Minis

[Ray Rivers]

Once again, thanks very much all! 

The feathering on the shields and blue metallic hammers were inspired by some fluff I read referring to the Stormcast as having "hammers of energy and wings of light."

Ya know, I went with the straight up all gold Stormcast, but I have to say there are several paint schemes which are pretty awesome. I especially like the silver with gold trim and also the turquoise Stormcast look amazing. So I'm really looking forward to see some more photos of other people's work.

And just one final note about "the hammers." A lot of people think that the hammer weaponry is waaaay to big for the minis. But I think when you look at the photo of my guys from behind, you see that they are real brutes... I mean big dudes. These folks would have absolutely no problem hammering the snot out of someone.

OTT... no doubt about it. Pricey... yep. But after painting up my Liberators I really feel I got my money's worth.

Here is another Very Kewl way of handling the shields and hammers:

They look fantastic

As for your own, I like the shield work, the almost 'radiant' effect looks brilliant, very well done

Cheers, mate!

The silver and gold really does look nice and the way the guy put "energy" into his hammers and shields is very novel. Excellent miniatures.

Presently I'm working on my Retributers and Lord Relictor.

I cant wait to get the lord relictor as Ill be buying one on ebay soon haha.

Itll be great to see once you have finished them all 

I may have missed it but are you painting the chaos side yourself too? I had some great painting a few at the Hull GW store which was an odd experience haha.

Yep, I'll be painting up my Chaos forces as well. Chaos is actually the only faction from "the old world" that I actually liked, so I'm looking forward to painting them, but first I want to finish off my Stormhost.

There are a couple GW shops around, but they are at least an hour or so drive away. I'm tempted to get in contact with them, but unfortunately, though I speak Spanish pretty well, I'm not sure how good my "wargaming" vocabulary is; so it might be difficult. We'll see, perhaps one day I'll drop in on one of them and see what's going on.

And yes, ebay is a great resource for picking up units from the starter set that people break up and sell. I think they cost about 1.60 GBPs per figure, so you should be able to get a good deal.
