Stormcast Eternals — Knight-Incantor

Advanced · 5 areas

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

  1. Basecoat the gold Basecoat — Retributor Armour over black. Metallics cover better than they look — two thin coats is enough.
  2. Shade the plates All-over shade — Agrax Earthshade over everything gold. This is what turns a flat yellow metal into armour.
  3. Layer and edge the gold Edge highlight — Liberator Gold across the raised plates, then Stormhost Silver on the sharpest edges only.

Face and skin

  1. Basecoat the skin Basecoat
  2. Shade the features Recess shade
  3. Highlight the face Layer — Cadian Fleshtone on the brow, nose and cheekbones, then Kislev Flesh on the highest points.

Spirit flask and staff

  1. Ground the flask dark Basecoat — Incubi Darkness inside the flask so the ghost light has somewhere to emerge from.
  2. Raise the spirits Layer — Celestra Grey wisps, then Blue Horror only on the upper half of each.
  3. Glaze and catch the light Glaze — Hexwraith Flame over the whole flask, then White Scar dots where the spirits are brightest.

Cloak

  1. Basecoat the cloak Basecoat
  2. Shade the folds All-over shade
  3. Highlight the cloth Layer — Teclis Blue on the fold ridges, Lothern Blue on the trailing edge only.

Base

  1. Texture the base Texture
  2. Drybrush the stone Drybrush
  3. Rim the base Detail
