Hello everyone! It has been a very long time since I last posted some work here on Tale of Painters but I am back to share some Warhammer Underworlds Shadespire warbands as I get them done. First up are Steelheart’s Champions.
My color scheme was inspired by Duncan Rhodes’ warband which was posted here. I really liked the the three metal look which makes gold accents pop meaningfully. I also followed his weapon swaps for Angharad Brightshield and Obryn the Bold but also added hooded heads from the Wildwood Rangers kit.
This model is amazing and I wouldn’t change a thing about the sculpt. I probably should go back and add some freehand on the cape (should it be called a cape if it only goes to the waist, more of a butt flap really).
There are times when I look at this model that I feel I should have removed the streamer from the axe. It does add some needed color balance though so I kept it there. This is my least favorite of the three models and considered using a Paladin Protector instead. Not bad, just meh, there are better poses in the Stormcast line.
And here she is, my favorite of the three. I say that even when I see her without conversions. She is also my favorite in game. Reliable attacks with a fun reaction in defense. Bravo, and encore please Games Workshop!

Welcome back. These are fantastic. Really like them.
I'm liking the conversions, and the purple on that butt flap is just glorious!
Love 'em. Gold and purple are a killer combination for Stormcast.
Nice spin on the model =) great to see you back here!
Love the colour scheme!
The middle guy needs a better butt flap.
Why do you like Shadespire?
