Choosing a Stormhost

Averon Stormsire leads this band of lightning-wielding Stormcast Eternal Evocators. They represent the second time I have painted Stormcast Eternals and I wanted to try out a new Stormhost. After researching several documents and websites, I chose the Celestial Vindicators. They are the darkest/most color heavy chapter, I mean Host i liked the look of. I love the gold and silver sigmarite armor - and was a little concerned about my ability to pull of teal armor. I think it came out ok, and these warriors have so much going on with their staffs and other little details that create a whole picture.

Red 

I elected to paint the "red" areas as red leather, using Rhinox Hide and Doombull Brown and Tuskgor Fur to create a red that made sense to me, and didn't scream to be the center of attention on the figures.  I can't wait to get them to the table! But first I have to finish their opponents, the Briar Queen and her chainrasps.

Bases

A "Mossy" bases theme was used for the bases under these three warriors, and adapted the same techniques for the nighthaunts - though they don't have as much area for the technique to take hold (Mossy bases, by RobPaintsModels). I thought about going back and repainting the rim of the bases a deep grey or brown to create less of a stark contrast that draws the eye away from the model. I've not done that yet.
