Serene Annihilation: Stormcast Eternals

He will judge among the nations, He will fill them with corpses, He will shatter the chief men over a broad country.
-Psalm 110:6


The army of Magnus the Pious approaches the city of the damned - the favor of Sigmar, exalted in the highest, marked clearly upon them.  The metal-clad angels of the god ride the lightning to storm the gates of the damned.  Tremble, O mighty!  The holy might of the Stormcast Eternals falls as the blows of an immense hammer.  Judgement is here.



I will be the first to admit that the Stormcast Eternals are complete anachronisms to the Mordheim setting.  But, like I have stated before, the Serene Annihilation Campaign is a real twisting and bending of reality.  It is a dream within a nightmare of how the past might have been.  That is my defense and I am sticking to it.

Besides, they are damn awesome models and I really wanted to paint and use them.

I was "inspired" (ie. blatantly copied) the paint scheme used by Bruticus for his own Stormcast Eternals of the Immortal Tribunal.  I don't have even a fraction of his talent, but I am happy enough with how they turned out.

The Stormcast Eternals ride to war with Magnus as a clear sign of Sigmar's favor.  The City of the Damned trembles rightly before them.  They are holy terrors on the battlefield and will offer a huge challenge to the players.

 +++STORMCAST ETERNALS: LIBERATORS+++

Stormcast Eternals are Sigmar's might made flesh.  They ride lightning, descending through space - and time - to smite the enemies of the One True God!

Name M WS BS S T W I A Ld
Liberator 4 5 5 4 4 2 4 2 10
Liberator Prime 4 5 5 4 4 2 4 3 10

Presence: 0 (a Liberator Prime has 1)

Equipment: Sigmarite Armor, Shield, Sigmarite Hammer (see Sisters of Sigmar, +1S and +1 to wound undead, Possessed and Daemons)

Skills: none

SPECIAL RULES
...and they Shall Know no Fear: Stormcast Eternals automatically pass all leadership tests they are called upon to make.

Sigmarite Armor: Sigmarite Armor offers a 4+ armor save.  Combined with their shields, Liberators have a 3+ armor save.

Colossal: Stormcast Eternals are towers of armor and strength.  When forced to roll on the injury table, they treat all results of Knocked Down or Stunned as Weakened instead (in the same way as Monsters).

Daemonbane:  Any daemonic models (including daemons, Possessed etc.) in base contact with with a Stormcast Eternal have their initiative halved, rounded down.

  1. Cool stuff, you got the porcelain hue just right. Maybe a bit more blood than my version! Try mixing your tamiya red or Blood For the Blood god with some gloss black paint or ink, and splattering it on by flicking it or blowing it. Not only does this give good results, it is a lot of fun.

    1. Thanks! These pictures did not come out as well as I'd hoped. The white lacks contrast - I think the porcelain looks better in person - so I am really happy you approve! I'll give your idea with the blood a shot. I think I went pretty overboard on these guys haha! I used Blood for the Blood God and Abaddon Black.

  2. It was very informative and I liked the fact that, all the details were efficiently stacked into one piece of writing. I am sure that you will come up with such relevant posts in the future as well.
