Stormcast Eternals — Knight-Incantor
A single character worth slowing down for: the gold recipe with a face, a staff and a spirit-flask that is the most interesting thing in the army to paint.
Sigmarite armour
- Retributor Armour Citadel
- Agrax Earthshade Citadel
- Liberator Gold Citadel
- Stormhost Silver Citadel
- Basecoat the gold Basecoat — Retributor Armour over black. Metallics cover better than they look — two thin coats is enough.
- Shade the plates All-over shade — Agrax Earthshade over everything gold. This is what turns a flat yellow metal into armour.
- Layer and edge the gold Edge highlight — Liberator Gold across the raised plates, then Stormhost Silver on the sharpest edges only.
Face and skin
- Bugman's Glow Citadel
- Reikland Fleshshade Citadel
- Cadian Fleshtone Citadel
- Kislev Flesh Citadel
- Basecoat the skin Basecoat
- Shade the features Recess shade
- Highlight the face Layer — Cadian Fleshtone on the brow, nose and cheekbones, then Kislev Flesh on the highest points.
Spirit flask and staff
- Incubi Darkness Citadel
- Celestra Grey Citadel
- Blue Horror Citadel
- Hexwraith Flame Citadel
- White Scar Citadel
- Ground the flask dark Basecoat — Incubi Darkness inside the flask so the ghost light has somewhere to emerge from.
- Raise the spirits Layer — Celestra Grey wisps, then Blue Horror only on the upper half of each.
- Glaze and catch the light Glaze — Hexwraith Flame over the whole flask, then White Scar dots where the spirits are brightest.
Cloak
- Kantor Blue Citadel
- Drakenhof Nightshade Citadel
- Teclis Blue Citadel
- Lothern Blue Citadel
- Basecoat the cloak Basecoat
