Age of Sigmar - Stormcast Eternals

We claim this table, for SIGMAR!
As you might expect, these are some of the Sigmarite (Sigmarish? Sigmarian?) folks from the Age of Sigmar box. I painted them for sale on ebay, so links are at the end.

There's not a lot to say about the painting process. Again I mostly followed the guides on the Warhammer TV channel.

Loving careful blending versus clumsy drybrushing. But which is which?
I did paint the gold a little differently. For the Retributors I used the GW method to paint the armour: base, wash, re-base, highlight. The result is nice, but it required a lot of careful blending to avoid a stepped effect, which took bloody ages. To save time on the Prosecutors I went for base, wash, drybrush, selective drybrush; and I'm convinced it looks at least as good. The Lord Celestant got two layers of drybrushing then painted in highlights, because he's special, and it was still faster.

Cloaked in a cloak so he won't croak.
I worked up the cloak from this article a little more. It occured to me that the twin tail is a fundamental enough Sigmar thing that I probably shouldn't leave it out.

I also broke up the shapes of the silver space station a bit with some black wash, and highlighted with some little bits of silver. It's not much, but it makes quite a simple freehand pop a little more.
