While I was painting the other Shadespire-era Stormcast, I did their other blue friends. Plus, this one has an eagle!

Now I have a melee, ranged, and spellcasting set of Stormcast Eternals.

After a Beastgrave interlude, let’s go back and fill in some Shadespire warbands.

Steelheart’s Champions were one of the warbands included in the original Shadespire box. I joined the part too late for that, but it’s still readily available as a standalone warband box.

I painted them very much to match the Nightvault starter warband, Stormsire’s Cursebreakers.

I have to admit this big chunky armor is starting to grow on me a little.

When I decided to give Underworlds a try, I went around to get what discontinued Shadespire warbands I could find without markup. Many of the first season warbands are highly usable as general fantasy models. Case in point, the skeletal Sepuchral Guard.

I went a little further weathering armor, using Secret Weapon’s verdigris and rust paints. The green on the armor contrasts nicely with the red cloak.

The bones is GW Contrast Skeleton Horde over a zenithal white primer, with some extra highlights.

I experimented using a Vallejo Buff under the Skeleton Horde on the Harvester. It’s far too yellow for my taste, but not enough to paint over it.

In game, these guys thing seems to be getting re-summoned. In fact, that’s how they Inspire. They don’t have as much mobility as the Nightvault high model count undead, the Nighthaunts.
