Choosing a Host for Stormcast Eternals

Good morning mini fans!

I'm painting up a set of Stormcast Eternals for Warhammer Underworlds and need to pick a host for these warriors to belong to. I've previously painted up one member of the Hammers of Sigmar and a trio from the Celestial Vindicators.

I wanted a silver or dark theme and narrowed my choice down to the Silent Host, Hallowed Knights, Lightning Hawks, Maelstrom of Light, Stormblood Guard, Celestial Warbringers, and Anvils of Heldenhammer.


Anvils of Heldenhammer
Silent Host

Celestial Warbringers

Hallowed Knights

Lightning Hawks

Maelstrom of Light

Stormblood Guard

My wife helped settle on black and then I found Mengel's tutorial here: http://www.mengelminiatures.com/2020/03/tutorial-contrast-eternals.html


The main stormhost has a power sword - and this is where I will pull my inspiration from:
