Stormcast Eternals Lord Relictor

Quick post to show my finished Stormcast Eternals Lord Relictor. I started painting this last year when I was on a bit of roll after finishing up a little unit of Liberators. Did pretty well with the main body of the model and was looking to have it done before Christmas with hopes of getting another hero done too. Weeeeeelllll... that went to shit didn't it! I got a little bogged down working on the relic icon thing and then commission stuff kind of burned me out a bit and killed my desire to paint anything. A couple of weeks back I finally managed to force myself to get it finished off. Chuffed to have it done at last and I'm hoping to tackle another soon.

AoS Stormcast Eternals Liberators

Another post so quickly! Well I finished my fifth Stormcast Liberator yesterday which gives me a full, albeit small unit and I'm really chuffed to have actually got these done. I started the first model right before the new year and have been joking ever since that I might get the unit finished before this Christmas due to my rather slow personal output. Anyway, a few pics of the unit.

The bases are topped with flagstones made from plastic sheet. I wanted something that looked like it could be a ruined temple or a slightly fantastical city street so went with hexagonal paving slabs. Not an easy shape and sometimes I wonder why I had to make things so bloody awkward but I think it looks pretty good. I originally tried out the hex slabs on a couple of Melnibonean models I painted years ago so I still have the template I used. Couldn't help thinking at times that the bases still looked a little lacking in some way but thankfully GW released new basing materials and they're exactly what I needed. I've sparingly used the Barbed Bracken and just one skull but I'm sure I'll use them more extensively on future models.

It's been a bit of a learning curve working on these as previously I'd not touched any of GW's current models. Whenever I begin work on a model that's a different style to what I'm familiar with it can throw me a little and take a bit of time to get used to the sculpting and how best to paint it. Those first few Liberators came together quite slowly but the last two were a lot quicker and easier to work through. But, just as I get used to painting these they're done and I'm ready to move onto slightly more challenging models. I have a Lord Relictor ready to start that I'm hoping isn't as complex as it might seem and I also built a Lord Celestant on Dracoth which will be one hell of a job. I've a selection of other heroes that I'd like to work on as well before I delve back into painting additional troop types. Maybe I'll get one or two things added before Christmas!

Age of Sigmar Stormcast Eternals Liberators

A quick post to show my Stormcast Eternals Liberator Prime. Pretty much the same deal as the previous two models. Just two more Liberators to do and then I can move onto some heroes. The Lord Celestant on Dracoth from the boxed game is a very tempting candidate for post Liberator daubing. Although with the release of the AoS Skirmish rules the Lord Relictor would make a good addition and give me enough pieces for a small bare bones warband. Not to mention the other heroes I've got from the two Warhammer Quest games. Decisions, decisions!
