Need some help with your Soul Wars box? I thought I'd put the White Dwarf free Stormcast Eternal model SIGMAR MODEL PAINTING
to good use and create a tutorial. So if you want more than just there paint recipes in White Dwarf and STORMCAST HANDLE
want high quality photos with explanations, then you're at the right place. Check out the detailed, quality ETERNALS

This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of how to paint. For the beginners, I will explain the
techniques as I go along. Each picture below shows four chronological steps. Underneath each picture are
the corresponding instructions. Each step shows the paint I used during that step.

1. Undercoat the model black. For the best results use Vallejo Surface Primer (airbrush or by brush) it has a
settling property in it which leaves detail crisp. Never oods the detail. SUPPORT US

2. For this step I've carefully painted Mournfang Brown by hand and it took a while. I'd advise airbrushing at Wayland Games or Element Games by clicking
stage 2 and 3 if you're painting several and then painting the black detail back in. Painting by hand is tricky on the banner below.
because you have to ensure the layers are perfectly at.

3. The reason we've painted perfectly at Mournfang Brown is because it makes it easier to paint Gold over
the top. Gehenna's Gold will now paint on in two coats. Add Lahmian Medium to the gold paint to thin it.
You don't need a lot, just enough to make it more uid. Metallic paint has ecks of metallic colour in it, it's Wayland Games offer up to 20% off GW products,

over £60!

4. Now we're going to create a glaze by mixing 70% of Lahmian Medium with 30% of Hashut Copper. Now
don't wash this all over, instead target the areas you speci cally want to shade. This quite a subtle step,
repeat this step two or three times to increase the intensity of the shading (multiple thin layers will get
darker and darker the more you apply). Element Games offer up to 25% off GW products

17. Highlight the previous stage further with a thinner line of Russ Grey. Base coat the Lightning Bolts on
the shoulder pad and shield with Russ Grey.

18. Paint the lightning bolts with Pallid Wych Flesh.

19. Paint the scroll under the scabbard with Baneblade Brown.

20. Highlight the edges of the scroll with Rakarth Flesh.

21. Wash the scroll completely with Seraphim Sepia.

Finally base the model in a way that ts with your gaming table or existing collection. I used Dark Reaper
for the base edge and highlighted the sand with Ushabti Bone. Some scorched static grass glued on
nishes the model off.

Super fast, super tute, super gold. I really like the glazed shades, work really well on Metallics.
Between your tutorial and Stahly's review yesterday you've got this game covered. GW should
point their advertising department your way!

Keep it up all you guys on ToP, I love the different styles and different projects that so many great
artists bring to the table, with a new article every single day. My absolute go to blog at least
once a day.

Thankyou to all the contributers on here,

Richard.

Hi Garfy, excellent tutorial as always, will you be doing any tutorials for the alternative colours
schemes for the stormcast? I guess you'll be doing tutorials for each of the units :)

Amazing results and a fantastic tutorial, especially taken the speed into consideration! :)

Just a question regarding airbrushing metallics - wouldn't that clog up the airbrush? I thought
pretty much the only metallics that worked well in an airbrush was the Vallejo Air-line?

GARFY 5/7/15 7:07 pm

I've had great results with Tamiya's X-20A Thinner. It's like magic.

Of course you can substitute for Airbrush speci c paints if you want to be sure. Sorry, I
can't tell you what the equivalents are though.

MEGASCIENCE 5/7/15 7:52 pm

Thanks, I'll give Tamiya's thinner a try. Getting metallics to work properly in my
airbrush would be SO great so I'll take any tip I can get! :)

Well done as always Garfy. Question for you, and something nobody is talking about yet. I
painted mine up this weekend, and these guys are HUGE. I pulled out my ruler, and the model

giants - which is possible - they are larger than even SM Termies, and it makes me think the
miniatures are set at 35mm scale. You guys already have access to the rest of the AoS starter box.
Have you measured the Chaos models to see whether they are appreciably smaller?

Size comparison picture is in our review. These are sigmar's super human warriors sent

Gonna piss Abadon off even more then when he nds out he was actually a

TIM HARTMAN 8/7/15 4:23 pm

You should try using the Vallejo Model Colour paints. They're easily my favourite out of all the
ranges I've used for my minis.

Reply

GARFY 8/7/15 5:01 pm

I have around 90% of the model colour range, I use to use them almost exclusively. I
made the switch back to GW when they changed their range. I prefer GW personally.

PALIGAN 20/7/15 10:13 pm

As usual an awesome tutorial. :) I really like the gold and blue. Regarding Lahmia Medium, what
kind of equipment do you use to create and store the mixed glazes? As you apply the glaze
multiple times, is a wet palette a suitable carrier?

Reply

Replies

GARFY 21/7/15 11:21 am

I don't store the glazes. I just mix it up fresh on a palette. I don't use a wet palette. You
can if you prefer. I think it's dependent on your conditions. My painting room doesn't
suffer from extreme temperatures luckily.

ANONYMOUS 25/7/15 4:23 am

Hi Garfy i notice you don't use Liberator or Retribution golds that came out with AoS , Whats the
main reason? How different would the effect of using those 2 golds with the same copper/bronze
wash be ?

GARFY 25/7/15 10:07 am

Slightly warmer and lighter is my guess.
