One of the very first Underworlds warbands released, as they where in the Starter set for Shadespire, Steelheart's Champions brings you three mighty Stormcast Eternals to explore the ancient ruins.
And now, only about three years after release, I finally painted them up...
Containing of the mighty Severin Steelheart himself, the shield carrying Angharad Brightshield (back then, the first female Stormcast released ever) and the huge hammer wielding Obryn the Bold, this is a very defensive and immovable warband.
It also shows in their Inspired condition that they are all about the blocking game, ideal to put themselves on objectives and rake in the points by guarding them like the immovable fortresses they are. With their high hit points, they do a good amount as damage as well so it really isn't easy to shift them once they are in position.
I went on and painted them in a beige colourscheme, with a turquoise clothing for contrast. This definitly looks better then the, no offense, boring gold of the Stormcasts, a colourscheme as widespread as Ultramarines. Nothing wrong with that, but with an "army" of three models I just wanted something radically different.
I also went for white stonework on the bases, painted around a purple washed light grey to give it some arcane feeling to the rubble, and due to it being a cold colour compared to the warmer one of their armour, still stands out nicely and not becoming a white / bone blob.
Great models for sure, and one of these weeks I think I'm going to throw them against the Crusher in the soloplay rules for Underworlds, I'lll see about that.
But anyways, that now means I completed the third of the eight warbands Noshi and me share, so slowly it will all get done.
Slowly...
