Showcase: Stormcast Eternals Retributors Primal Kings Stormhost

Is anyone else following the Tale of Four Warlords feature in the new White Dwarf? I’m totally smitten with the idea and have decided to participate as well. So last month I rounded out my unit of Liberators completing them and during September I painted up these three Retributors. After the jump a rear shot and a group shot so far. 

I’m starting to get into the groove of my new scheme. I’m still refining some of the steps  so don’t expect a tutorial anytime soon. Also it’s a tricky paint scheme to replicate because I go for bright whites and yellows and over a black undercoat and that’s time consuming.

Above is my fledging force so far. I’m really happy with colour scheme for the Primal Kings, I think it’s really distinct and the decision not to use gold* on Stormcast models is quite a statement. It really helps make them original. The biggest reason for not using gold is don’t think it would contrast enough with the yellow. I may use gold colours for the high command models, possible gold helmets because I use silver for the helms of my primes.

Next up for October I want to paint a character model. I’ve decided on a Knights Vexillor. I like his ability to transport a unit across the battlefield. Can’t wait to get started on that model.
