From TomG - Eternally Stone Cast - The Golem's Haunt - 25 points

Back so soon? Good, because I've spent the last two days creating these works of joy, just for you all.

As I delve in to the Golem's Haunt, I decided to take a mini I've painted many many times, but this time as something totally different. So here I present to you my stone golem take on a Games Workshop Stormcast Eternal.

I used an airbrush to create progressively more stark zenithal layers, whilst trying to keep to a very limited grey palette. Luckily, bad fortune struck. The airbrush got clogged and started to spit, but this gave a wonderful mottled effect on the stone, which is why I was luckily unlucky. 

For the first time in my 20 years of hobby, I tried out lighting effects, and quite frankly it'll also be my last. I'm not keen on the finished look, which I know could be improved on, but it's not for me.

But with all of the negative aside, I was actually really happy with how this chap turned out, something new to me in painting one in a stone texture, but variety is certainly the spice of life. 

I hope you liked it and I'll see you next time for dark and gloomy, and maybe a bit of leg... 

Points are 5 for a 28mm model plus 20 for a challenge entry = 25 points.

  2. Great looking Stone-cast Eternal. I don't like the usual golden armour these guys are depicted with, but they do look good in grey.

    1. Thank you Stuart, and I know exactly what you mean. When I fleetingly tried to play Age of Sigmar, I painted my army in orange and green, just to not end up with a sea of golden boys.
