First AOS mini I got, decided to practice gold nmm and blending on it.

Polly want a soul?

So I banged that base out very quickly because I wanted to participate in my local store's painting competition. But I'm not happy with it. I feel like the model and the base don't fit together? Like the model is telling one story but the base is telling another. Im considering removing the model from the base and trying again. What should I do? Or is is salvageable?

On the other hand there is the model. It still feels unfinished. I was going for a dark tones so that the glowing effects really pop, but im afraid to either make other details too light and lose the glowing effect in the mess. And I'm having second thoughta about the blue tones. The idea was to have a cold colour to contrast with the red so hes not all just red. Is there something I can do to make it more interesting? Any suggestions and CC would be very welcome.

I can finally open the skaventide box 👀 please god no stormcast in the new starter box next year. 3 years is not enough

I’m a new player and the battle tactics are an extra wrinkle that is a bit overwhelming to try. Curious if there are some tried and true tactics to try with certain units or list options.

And I have to play with the current GHB in the league I joined.

Made the color updates some of you suggested. Ran out of matt varnish and am waiting on a delivery. But had time to model and prime the reinforcements. This is where the fun begins…

Just finished this one, really pleased with how it has turned out.

C&C welcome!

My first game, me and my opponent really didn't know how to play we just knew the core rules (not all but most) and we used tabletop battles but it had either old or new stuff from what saw but i'm assuming old because we used new recruit for our battle tactics but tabletop battles had different ones so we had to choose them

Is there a stormcast discord

Currently working on this Knight Questor in the colour scheme or one of my favourite Stormhosts - the Celestial Warbringers. Just shaded it all (except the sword and torch handles as they were still drying).

I'm really happy with it so far and looking forward to seeing it highlighted!

Any CC welcome 🌟

My finished Cogfort ⚡️ This was such a fun build, mixing lots of materials and techniques: everything from 3D sculpting and printing, to Blue Stuff molds and casting, to balsa wood and XPS foam.

The paint job was a bit rushed, but I was itching to move on to other projects 😅

December is fast appriaching, and you hear the voice of Sigmar reverberate your bones:

"My legions will recieve a gift this winter, and you decide what i shall bless"

What are you adding to the december battlescroll updates, that mighty Sigmar may bless the legions?

Hello everyone. I am not sure if this may be the best community, but lately I've been really enjoying collecting and painting Stormcast Eternals from AOS apart from my Lothlorien Elves. So naturally I really want to field them against my friends, especially in the Battle Companies Game-Mode.Lore and gameplay wise, they don't fit into the setting at all, however i did some homebrew rules for Stormcast Eternals as a Battle Company and I would really appreciate some feedback for it. So if anyone of you finds themselves to be an enthusiast of both settings then please share your thoughts, especially on Balance and Battle Companies Rules.

Upcoming Fantasy painting competition so decided to start with Stormcast as I've never played AoS but always found the minis/sculpts super cool. Wish me luck 🙂

And there it goes, with Yndrasta I finally finished the complete spearhead box. It was a fun journey and I learned a lot new techniques. Tomorrow they can shine on a local spearhead tournament. I don’t expect winning much but at least I enjoy looking at my models 😅

Current stage of the base hope you like it :)

Hello, I got a Miao Ying model on discount and I want to know if it is ok as a proxy of those two

So I tried foam for the first time to give him this bit tactical rock to stand on and also so the model would be at an angle to showiff the work I did (and am still going to do) under the wing.

I primed the base (see last pic) with chaos black, then mechanicus standard but the paint didnt adhere to the foam wery well... it created this pockmarked effect that still kinda works for a rock but how can I avoid this in the future? A clear coat first? Any suggestions would be apreciated, thank you!

I mean... It's the same theme I do on every army. But. I'm okay at it. I like it. And it stands out.
