AoS Shorts: Your Essential Guide to Age of Sigmar

How to Paint Celestial Vindicators

Today is a new video from Troy at Sonic Sledgehammer Studio about how he paints Celestial Vindicators.  As I announced previously, I’ve partnered with Troy to add a range of Age of Sigmar painting tutorials to the site.   All part of the plan to be an invaluable resource for all aspects of the hobby.

Celestial Vindicators

In an army literally built to combat the forces of Chaos, the Celestial Vindicators take this to the next level. Possessed of a single-minded determination not just to defeat but to destroy their enemies, they sweep across the battlefield like a force of nature, battering aside all opposition to Sigmar’s will.

The teal armour of the Celestial Vindicators marks them out as looking quite different to many of the other Stormhosts. Rather than a simple metallic scheme, there’s a bit more work to be done on these warriors, though it’s scarcely more difficult than anything else. Just a little preparation will see you through the time-consuming bits and you’ll be churning out these dangerous, driven heroes quickly!

How I Paint Things is a series of simple instructional videos designed to help the newcomer through some of the basics and demonstrate how the very simplest techniques can still give you some great results that’re easily replicated. Aimed at the beginner to painting miniatures, there might be one or two tips or tricks that help even you old hands!
