After the popularity of the speed paint Skaven Clans video, I decided to get the next three Stormcast Eternals stormhost schemes together in one video for you guys! Once again, super simple, fast and effective paint scheme to get your Stormcast ready for the tabletop in record time, whether it's from the new Skaventide box set, you're trying out a Spearhead for fun, or you're finally tackling your pile of shame! Stormcast don't have to be gold just because they look that way on the posters!
You can pick a stormhost like the Celestial Vindicators, the Astral Templars, The Maelstrom of Light, the Anvils of Heldenhammer or maybe the classic silver Hallowed Knights! Make sure you check out the rest of my Stormcast videos and let me know what else you'd like to see on the channel!

You remembered correct, the celestial vindicators are more turquoise where the celestial knights are the blue ones (so are the Tempest lords and knights of azyr if I recall correctly).

@SituationNormalGames 14 күн бұрын

I actually go out of my way to paint my Stormcast without any Gold. My current color scheme is black-grey armor with burgundy robes and shoulderpads, white decorative aspects like the little symbols and Sigmar faces on shields, and silver for the metallics. I really like how it looks, and it's inspired me to make a whole faction backstory for them.

@patimusprime72 12 күн бұрын

The Astral Templar was definitely my favorite. Those colors were just fantastic. I always thought Celestial Vindicators were turquoise too. They definitely look better that way. Painting them that dark just makes them look like fantasy Ultramarines. Still excellent work on all three though.

@mirage809 13 күн бұрын

That's the first time I've seen a Celestial Vindicator that blue. It's not a bad scheme, but it feels a lot like they're fantasy Ultramarines. Teal is definitely my preference. As for lesser known Stormhosts: the Stormblood Guard. They're silver and red and their lore is that they bleed lightning. They're a nice blank slate to do whatever with.

@68Mie 10 күн бұрын

I like 👍 all 3 , but white more. I want to see the silvery ones, with the faith. And the turqoise.

@HamsterRage 14 күн бұрын

Your recipe for white armor looks great. It does read a little gray for my tastes but it’s a solid color scheme nonetheless. Do agree with the blue shield though, a white and gold shield for the Maelstrom would be more striking. Great content, thank you for posting these!

@flaviomonteiro1414 8 күн бұрын

Agreed, Turquoise for the vindicators is better than the dark blue. Also your lore is correct.

@davidczarnecki6230 14 күн бұрын

I'd love to see the Ratling Cannon..thing be done with various tonal changes between the different pieces of wood, make it like a class on different wood filters and washes to make it look cobbled together.

@chromasus9983 14 күн бұрын

Since you mentioned green stormhosts, I'd love to see your take on one of them! The most "green" that come to mind are the Sons of the Gladius, who have pure green armour with white pauldrons and gold trims, and the Ghyran Guard, who have slightly green-tinted gold armour with green pauldrons and shields. :)

@user-gh1wl4ok4o 9 күн бұрын

Marlstorm is probably my favorite. Id like to see how other colors than blue would look on that scheme. But they all look greats. My favs in order were probably 3, 2 than 1

I love these videos. I used one to help me decide my Tyranid scheme for Leviathan. More Skaven and Stormcast options please! I’d love to see the turquoise! My old Stormcast I painted Gold with a Gal Vorbak Red for the pauldrons, shields and capes. I really like it but I want to change it up with the new models and want lots of options please! I’ve also not decided on Skaven theme yet, thinking I might do 2 or 3 to break up the hoard and make them look more ragtag.

I would love it if you did a turquois paint scheme for the celestial vindicators. Maybe you could do a character in the more turquois color scheme. I love turquois and I love painting against the grain as it were. Doing something a little different just because no one else seems to be doing it.

Brilliant as ever. We've been talking about painting Stormcast armour so it reads as different textures and materials. One of my group wants to paint them as terracotta warriors. I want ones with armour made of marble, old stone, granite or looking like samurai wooden armour. We're going to have fun experimenting!

The colour scheme for my stormcast eternals are leadbelcher, 2 coats of nuln oil original formula gold trims and orange pauldron. Ther r called Templars of the Forge. A Chamon realm base of operations they believe in the great forge of Grungni.

I use grey seer and celestra grey myself. Its a great tip. On the regular gold stormcast i base the white parts on the shield /pauldron grey seer and then go over with white scar. Great video series thanks.

Yeah, that Celestial Vindicators scheme looks so wrong. If I did mine in them, it would be the Sotek Green method I did for my old army. But now I've moved to the Iron Thanes with their red, silver, white, and teal colour scheme. Yes, it's busy but I like it. Out of these I like the last one you did.

@kylemartinelli1379 14 күн бұрын

I think on the Maelstrom of Light with the new Liberators, the shields would be a GREAT spot to reintroduce the red they're suppose to have in their colour scheme.

@doctorstormchaser 14 күн бұрын

Love the video, but that's not a Celestial Vindicator (they're in teal , and my favourite scheme / army I run). You've painted a 'Knight of Azyr', Andy, which has that blue and white scheme. They're still in teal on all image searches. The only change went from having Sotek Green to Incubi Darkness as the base style colour - but I stick with the Sotek scheme for the bright colours! I Am onto my second iteration of the army with a slightly updated, and cleaner painting style. Also a fanboy like yourself!

@spectre___i 14 күн бұрын

Weird when I'm googling the Celestial Vindicators most the images coming up are the more Torquoise. Always thought it was weird that the Astral Templars are so similar in colour to Celestial Warbringers stormhost.

I for one would love to see that turquoise scheme. Does each faction's Reclusians stay within their faction, or are they transferred to a special Reclusian faction to make it easier to tend to their specific needs?

I see they might want to leech from the ultramarines fame and success here, but the turquoise would be much more unique

Have been planning to paint up my SCE as Astral Templars. I've seen a few method videos but never one using Volupus Pink, so gonna have to give that a try with a tester model and see how it comes out. Also there seems to be a move to make the Celestial Vindicators just the SCE equivalent of Ultramarines, and where's the fun in that?

I've seen some people do a pale blue, like the blue used in the official example of this scheme online. There's no rules, you can go with what you liked best when there's very little artwork, check out what other people have done with their astral templars and see what you like best!
