Now that so many of you have the contents of the Dominion launch box on your hobby desks, it’s time to show off more of the amazing paint jobs we’ve seen from around the world.
If you missed them, take a look at our Kruleboyz orruks and Stormcast Eternals showcases from earlier this month. As it turns out, there’s plenty more where they came from. Let’s check out what you’ve all been up to.
Stormcast Eternals
We love the detailed face and lifelike gemstones Jacob achieved on Yndrasta. Using a spotlight effect draws your eyes into the centre of the composition too.
Ash made the wings and Grungni’s maker’s mark runes look like they’re glowing from within on this Celestial Spear model. The darker colour palette gives the distinct impression that this warrior is less of a saviour and more of a hunter – which is quite in keeping with Yndrasta’s fearsome reputation.
The classic check pattern, quartered heraldry, and sun motif here recall a bygone era, but it works incredibly well on this modern Stormcast Eternal. The battle damage Raven has added across the model just seals the deal.
By contrast, Annie’s Vindictors look like otherworldly soldiers infused with arcane power. The vivid colours and bright armour look amazing, and an entire army of them will be even more impressive.
There’s something about the muted colours, solid work on the base, and glowing eyes that make Joshua’s Vindictor look every bit the consummate warrior.
Garfy’s unusual paint scheme never fails to impress us with how well it works across the entire Stormcast Eternals range. His impeccably crisp paint job is a thing of envy too.
The variation in textures and tones Vincent achieved here is impressive. The chipping and wear give you a sense of the character’s age and experience, and he cuts a regal figure. Vincent’s Lord-Imperatant must have a dry cleaner on speed dial to keep his cape as dazzlingly white as this.
Ricki’s Wizard uses an almost monotone colour scheme, with lots of warm, natural tones. The blue robes complement this scheme without overwhelming the neutrals, while the bright red book reminds you of their role. The subtle conversion work on this model is just the icing on the cake.
This striking image shows how much cooler models look on a well-painted piece of scenery. You can almost see the energy flickering from the swirling vortex of power.
Richard’s non-metallic metal technique is always on point, and this Annihilator is a great model to show it off. The gleaming armour here is a sight to behold.
Some might think that white armour is impractical for soldiers who are about to bring the pain to their enemies with enormous hammers. But Hanna wasn’t afraid to take that risk with this stunning and noble white, purple, and gold colour scheme.
Sigmar will definitely be proud of the hobby majesty you’ve brought to his prized warriors. Now let’s have a look at some of the work you’ve been putting into the more swampy half of the Dominion box.
Kruleboyz Orruks
A simple but effective swamp base finishes off Lloyd’s well-executed leader model. The metal and leather look suitably filthy, the skin of the mount is realistic despite the unnatural colour, and the pops of red draw the eye to the Kruleboy’s skareshield.
Smooth blends and fantastic accents on the skin, high-contrast yellow on the shield, and wonderful texture on the cloth and leather – Harley has nailed it all on this Gutrippa.
The vibrant red shields on these dark, moody figures look utterly creepy. Jay’s deep shading and refined colour palette fit the Kruleboyz to a tee.
This striking unit makes good use of a nearly monochromatic scheme and realistic painting style to achieve a cinematic look.
Crystal went with a bright, contrasting scheme for this Kruleboy, and the check pattern takes it even further. While Kruleboyz may be known for their more muted fashion choices, this Murknob seems more menacing for his flamboyant attire.
The bright colours stand in stark contrast to the absolute filth all over the base of Edward’s shaman. The overall grittiness and gore are perfectly balanced with the blues, greens, and reds used around the model.
We couldn’t finish up without showing off what might be the deadliest Stab-grot we’ve ever seen. This plucky little chap looks absolutely incredible, thanks to Richard’s brushwork.
We were excited to see what folks would do with the fantastic Kruleboyz orruks and Stormcast Eternals in Dominion, and we were NOT disappointed. Keep them coming by sharing your work on Twitter and Instagram, using #NewAoS so everyone can find them.
If you haven’t picked up the launch box for the new edition, you owe it to yourself to get yours now to take a crack at these models. Grab it before it’s gone.
