Hi everyone, it's Amy. In this tutorial I'm going to be showing you how to paint the shields of the Stormcast internals and eyelators. This will cover painting gold, dark metallic and the magical glowing effect. I've left the shield off the model for ease of painting and I'd recommend you do the same too. So let's get started with the base coats. I've started with a black undercoat, however you can use any colour undercoat for this. To begin I'm going to start to base coat the sections of the shield that are going to be gold. For this I'm using Retributor Armor. The second element I'm going to be base coating will be the Darker Metallic sections on the shield. For this I'm going to use Iron Warriors. When I apply this I'm careful not to get any on the gold but I'm not worrying about any of you other in elements on the model because I'm going to be painting those next. The lightning detail around the central face design on the shield I'm going to be painting in white. For this I've chosen to use Gracia. Before I move on to shading the shield I'm firstly going to use a baddened black to neaten up the recesses and also the hand holding the shield. The base coats are now all done and now ready to move on to shading. Hey guys hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Feel free quote today, follow the link in the description of this video. The first element on the shield I'm going to shade is the gold. I've decided to go for a purple to shade the gold because purple is opposite yellow on the colour wheel and gold is essentially yellow. This means that purple compliments yellow really nicely. Now that first pass of Megos purple is dry. I'm going to use Megos purple again but this time straight from the pot without thinning it down. For the Dark Metallic I'm going to shade it using Null Noil. For this I'm just using it straight out of the pot but I'm going to watch how much is in the brush. After the initial Null Noil is dry I want to add some further shading to the Dark Metallic. For this I thin down a baddened black with water and glows this into the small recessed areas on the shield. The shades are now all dry and I can now move on to highlighting all of the elements on the shield. To begin I'm going to start to build up the highlights on the Dark Metallic. Firstly using a Vallejo good metal I apply a highlight to all of the raised edges on the Dark Metallic. To further enhance the highlights on the Dark Metallic I use Vallejo silver to pick out the edges and also some random areas to give the impression of it glistening in the light. These highlights bring the sheen back into the Metallic too which were previously dulled down with the shade. Moving on to highlighting the gold. Firstly I use Scale 75 Elven gold to apply a layer to the gold to brighten it back up. I apply this over most of the gold leaving that purple in the recesses. To make the gold stand out a little bit more I apply a final edge highlight using Scale 75 Situine Alchemy. I run this along all of the edges and along the writing and the central face design on the shield. I'm now going to start to build up the effect of the magical glow. Firstly using Sotec Green I thin this down on the palette with water and then run this into all of the recesses and cracks on the shield around that lightening design. Don't worry about getting this onto the white because we can easily need to know. To brighten up that magical glow I'm going to now add a second brighter color into the recesses using Baroth Blue. Much the same as previously I thin this down on the palette with water and then run it into the recesses to build up that bright blue glow. Now I need to nupten up the white if necessary using Grazia before giving it an edge highlight using Vallejo Model Color Cold White. I'm now going to pick out the gem in the center of the shield. I've decided to go with purple gems for my army as a nice spot color. To begin I've used a badden black to separate the gem out from the gold and then I base coat using Zerious Purple and add successive highlights using Genestealer Purple and then Slanesh Grey. Finally I'm now going to highlight the hand holding the shield and for this I'm going to paint it in the colors of the Ambals of the Heldon Hammer which is the Stormhurst I've chosen for my army. It's already had a base coat of a badden black and I'm now going to add a first highlight using Dark Reaper. For this I apply it slightly thicker than normal to begin to create a transition to the bright edge highlight that we'll add later. I don't worry too much about how thick it looks because I can easily refine it and need to nupten it up later. Next I'm going to use Fenrisian Grey to add that second brighter highlight. For these highlights I'm using a Triple Zero brush for the best control and I try my best to mark out the edges but again I'm not worrying if they're a little bit thick or a little bit uneven because I can need to nupten it up next. Now I'm going to use Dark Reaper to refine the highlights. I use this to cut back into that Brighter Fenrisian Grey to neat and up and sharpen those final edge highlights. Doing this is a very back and forth process remember you can use that Dark Reaper if you need to you can also use a badden black to you need to nupt that and it's just essentially doing this back and forth until you get the look that you're happy with. Finally I use a badden black and thin this down on the palette into a glaze. I use this to glaze over the Dark Reaper highlight which fins it down and blends all together. The shield is now complete and it's ready to glue onto the prime of my unit of an eye litters. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I hope you have fun painting your own eye litters. Thank you very much for watching and thank you as always for all of your support. I'll see you next time.
