Hi all! I wish you a happy new year and may all your hobby dreams come true… During the end of last year, I finished this Stormcast Eternals Champion on Dracoth. I call them the “Silverlions”. I wanted to use a reduced colour palette of silver, gold and red tones. I changed the weapon arm a little bit for a more dynamic pose and used a head from the Legio Custodes range.
Maybe this model will lead to my 2018 Armies on Parade project but I am not sure yet. What do you think? Leave a comment below and happy painting in 2018…

That silver is awesome! Perfect blend of shine and weathered, looks like finely polished but still used plate mail, great stuff!
-D
Thx, i used Ironbreaker Air washed with Agrax Earthshade drybrushed with Stormhost Silver. I then applied very thin layers of Druchii Violet in certain areas. I always use black primer with zenithal white.
This is really fantastic. Would you be able to explain how you get that colour transition from light to dark on the underside of his cloak? Is that simple layering, 2 brush blending etc? I can never get such a smooth effect whenever I try something like that.
Thx ?? it’s done by layering. Basic color is Deamonette Hide mixed with Flayed One Flesh and later on Pallid Which Flesh and White. I applied about 5 layers all in all. I always thin down the colors with water.
Thanks for replying. A follow on question if you don’t mind – what ratio paint to water do you use?
That’s freehand ? close to a shade. Then you‘ll have less pigments in the color thus it will be more transparent. This way you can reach a smoother blend. The more layers you apply the smoother the blending. Pro painter apply some 30 layers. For me 3 to 7 layers are enough?
Love the dynamic pose the conversion gives this. The head perfectly sells it – great aggressive pose, nice job!
Thx?? had a lot of fun doing this as a test model; more to come i think…
