The final member of my Shadespire warband is finished, so here we finally have the complete Steelheart's Champions:
Severin Steelheart is the leader of the warband, and I wanted this to show on my model as well as it does on the original. When sculpting his helmet and chest armour, I borrowed heavily from the design of the Iudex Gundyr character (Dark Souls III).

| This was captured not long before painting began. As before, the blue is the original model, the grey is other plastic bits and green/yellow is putty. |

The Monster Competition at Ex Profundis reached its conclusion today as the results were announced on the blog. You can see the post with the winning entries here: LINK. The winner is Surtep by Jan Warnke, while my Prince Arpad the Depraved took third place.
Amazing results! It completely changes the feel of this band. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo. Damn. Good.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid there's little else to say here than this is all great really !
ReplyDeleteThe balance between keeping the characters recognisable and yet so personnal is just impressive. A real lesson to push ourselves into doing things right.
These have been a real treat to watch develop. This is my favourite of the three, you have a real eye for conversion. Majestic work.
ReplyDeleteSince my most hated race in gaming is Stormcasts, i refused to buy starter for Shadespire because of them. But if they looked like your conversion - it would be instabuy for me.
ReplyDeleteYour conversions are the reason I bought Shadespire to try emulate theme. Great Dark Souls/Berserk vibe!
ReplyDeleteTotaly in love.
Outstanding conversion work (it screamed dark souls straight away before I'd read the post!) and fab painting as ever.
ReplyDeleteOk that is just fucking amazing!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Great work!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just perfect, thanks for sharing and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work lady. I don like AoS stuff but these minis are masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteAmazing conversion! Good work Ana. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking great Ana.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good move to keep the sculpted abs on his armour as this helps tie him in with Angharad and differentiate him from Obryn as well as helping to point out he's the leader of the group and draw focus to him. Not that you really needed this little detail to achieve these things as your work on this group is just that good but it is a nice visual cue.
Thanks for that link by the way and congratulations. Just more top stuff from top artists!
Really great - love the look of these, there's an almost undead vibe which is fantastic. You've captured Index Gundyr really well too, brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much everyone!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! The differences from the originals are subtle yet profound... very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteWow, once again Ana, you've upped the standard on these Sigmarites. He looks so imposing, confident and deadly. Bravo for placing in the competition!
ReplyDeleteAll of them look great both individually and as a group! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been visiting your blog recently and turns out I missed a lot. These look fantastic and even before reading the entry I immediately realized the model was inspired by Iudex Gundyr. I don't really like these new AoS-WH40k minis from GW but you make them look amazng!
ReplyDeleteThx Ana, now I have to repaint my band :( Great idea for rusty armours:D
