That final reveal of the whole army was magnificent. At first I was unsure of that paint scheme but seeing it like that, an eerie horde works so well ! Hats off to you for staying the distance and painting the whole lot. Well worth the effort put in. Thanks for posting!
I’m glad you enjoyed it man! It’s really amazing how seeing a whole army of something makes it look so much better. Just one stonecast model is alright, but all of them together tells a bigger story for sure :)
I've been watching your show since the beginning and I must say, your confidence in front of the camera has grown so immensely. Its truly inspiring to watch you and the channel grow and I always look forward to the next mini adventure.
Absolutely love this army. Looks spot on. Personally I would have a magician or spell caster of some sort fully painted as the guy who raised the force.
Thanks man! That’s a cool idea too, I’m already picturing the perfect model for that. There’s an empire wizard with a blue globe in his hand that would be perfect for that job!
I'll admit, I wasn't sold at first on this concept. I kept thinking "there's just so much awesome detail on those models that won't get painted" which made me sad. By the end of the video I did a complete 180 and was in total awe. The glowing effect really sells that style and they look incredible. Very well done.
Awesome!! Well done, even with the simplified paint scheme I didn't think this was going to get done in time 😀 happy to be wrong! Have to say though, you're younger than I thought if the sigmarines were out when you were a kid! 🤣 Love it and thank you for the video 👍
I really adore the Stonecast Idea! I recently painted 3 of my Models as Stonecasts too and it is such an efficient way to paint them. Kudos for coming up with it!
Such a simple yet perfect concept that I think you pulled off excellently! Id echo a few of the comments here, whereas I don't think the amount of flock is an issue I do think that it needs some variation in the colour of it. Maybe a mixture of different colours of green for the moss. Fantastic final product either way, Great stuff.
Dude! As I stated before I am not into Warhammer or 40 K but, I am so into your videos ,the quality ,the art ,everything about it is just entertaining. In fact I wait to watch it on my big screen TV. That’s all I wanted to let you know. OK I just saw your finished product and I think you should’ve put strings on the Bose. That’s my humble opinion. Absolutely beautiful work!
Can't skip that ever important hydration step! Love it hahaha! I especially like that dragon, really looks like it just burst awake and shook most of the moss off. Very cool idea, nice video :)
OMG, best one yet. Seriously, spent the entire video wondering what the punchline was going to be. You did not dissappoint. Had to send this link to a few mates. Dunno if you actually stayed up a day, guessing you did at least to a degree to get the eyes looking right, that's commitment to a gag, man, respect that.
When you were saying stonecast eternals I was like, wtf, does he mean stormcast? Then I got it. These look great! I love the moss and the missing arms on some guys. Very cool, very effective looking army.
Awesome job man. I wish I could focus for that long without being tempted by video games 😂. I can't seem to peel myself away from a good RPG for more than half a day ! I need to work on that.
Very cool! Well done! I really like the stonecast looke specially with the flock you mixed up. The few where you went all out make it feel like maybe they were standing in a row and that one was on the end getting all the moisture and none of the sun. Very neat effect! Where was Goobertown with his "hearty meals" to help you out? You needed hoisin sauce!! It's the key to his powers! HOOOISIN SAUUUUCE!
Thanks man! I pieced this army together over a month or so of looking. Got some really good prices for most of it. I know Australia is tough for getting models like that, but I’m sure if you keep an eye out you’ll get something great. I also just picked up a khorne army for super super cheap, so that will probably be the next big one :)
If you decide to use flock again, something I’ve started messing with is model railway foam flock. The variation in texture and undulation looks amazing when mixed with other flock. The army turned out crazy awesome. Good luck to the folks bidding, and thanks for the 24 hour painting challenge video.
Yeah I don’t have a ton of experience with different flock and grasses, I need to go pick up a bunch of materials and just start experimenting. I’ll definitely check out foam flock :)
Looks awesome. I need to do this with my Sylvaneth. I play around to much with different season paint schemes. Need to just do it. These would pair nicely with Sylvaneth in a co op game.
Look.... I don't want you to get self-conscious about this but... the real reason I never miss your uploads (now that I have discovered your channel) is your smooth clear soothing voice. You do GREAT work, let that fact be known. But.... your voice is awesome. thanks
They look savage dude; well done! I've got six figures that I'm prepping for a marathon session; nothing like a 2,000 point army, but I'm looking forward to spending a night painting!
17:31 I know exactly what you're talking about! I'm literally counting down the days until Indomitus because I'm going to do this exact thing when I get my copies. My group is doing a release event on the 25th and I'm going to take my boxes home on the 24th and put together as many Marines as I can before the event so I can run the new stuff in our 500pt learning games!
@@eBayMiniatureRescues The thing is, I want to try out all the new stuff at least once and depending on how their points are I'll probably have to make multiple lists to do so! Not a big deal since we're gonna play 2-3 games, but I'll be exhausted by then.
He really wanted that dragon when I opened the box lol. Since he was being pretty nice with them I decided to turn on the camera and get some footage. He thought it was pretty neat seeing himself on television 😆
This is my new favorite painting video. It's new and interesting, and a different take on what it takes to make a beautiful army. Ur a legend, sub well earned. I will be bidding on ur army
Rather looks like they had kudzu growing wherever that army has been standing. Nice job. A twenty minute power nap and a 5-hour energy shot helps on those 24 hour binges.
Haha, yeah next time I’m gonna try the power nap thing and probably bring in some serious energy drinks. I had that Red Bull, it helped for a while, but it wasn’t enough lol.
Thanks man! Yeah picking colors can be super tough, I’ve got a few projects that are staring at me that are just primed. For my craft world army I still can’t decide lol. Back in the day I went with beil tan, now I’m leaning towards iyandin, idono, all the combos are nice looking, I guess it’s just what you feel in the moment.
eBay Miniature Rescues I know dude beil tan iyandin etc but I love the concept of a custom craftworld, I just painted 750pt harlequins in a kickass ‘joker’ purple and green, do I do the craftworld the same and run ynarri?
If you have a ton of stuff in purple and green then maybe look into, and I’m not joking, buzz light year warhammer, you would think it would be awful, but it’s kinda rad, and that would be an awesome scheme for Eldar. It’s hard to decide lol, ynarri is pretty cool, but the others have more variety, but that also adds to the time it will take to finish it.
eBay Miniature Rescues you may have just cracked the code young sir. I never even contemplated that the joker and buzz lightyear share the same colour scheme 😂 I may even paint up a Farseer as woodie and a wraith lord as Rex 😂
Amazing bud! Wish I had the focus to sit and paint for long periods. I'm working on 2k space marines and have thus far completed one 5man tac squad.. I got them late March haha
Thanks man. I can never seem to find time to paint my own stuff like this. I have 2k points of gloomspite gitz that have been sitting since they came out, they are all put together and ready to go but I’ve only painted a few of them lol. For this army it was more of forcing myself to make a video about it so they could be done! That seems to help me anyways, having a hard deadline no matter what.
Unfortunately Goobs lives about 3000 miles away from me. I’ve considered doing some kind of battle reports though, or at least small scale fights to show off the models, could be a pretty fun addition :)
Came over here from goobertown, this theme army concept is really cool. I have some ice cream themed orkz but I never realized other folks did stuff like this. This is super cool and i want to try making something stonecast now
It really was a slog, right at the halfway point my speech was slowing down, I was forgetting things lol. I was really trying to stay awake near the end there. Email me or shoot me a message and I’m sure we can work out a good challenge :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues haha. I hear you man, it's hard. I struggled after about 18 hours.. but I think that was down the daunting realization I wasn't going to get as far as I'd hoped. Sure, I'll drop you a message. 😀 ITS ON.
Cool army and neat idea. I think if I tried this I'd lean on the airbrush more and also introduce more colors. Often rocks can appear reds, purples blues, yellows or greens. Pretty much any color besides grey. I think I'd do the old cold shadow warm highlight and maybe use a blue green from the shadows and a purple/magenta from the top and dry brush the entire thing in a neutral grey to tie it together. Would then probably oil wash in a paynes grey. IDK what I'm talking about lol. Good job!
YO im not gonna lie. This looks super Badass. I can imagine this army resting deep within the ruins of a forest temple, guarding it from within when a small chaos warband stumbles upon it, only for the statues to rattle awake and slay the foul invaders, treading through their home.
That’s probably my favorite part about the concept army idea, it really lends itself to that narrative so easily. You can just imagine these guys in that setting just waking up for battle.
After listening to Paint Bravely for a few weeks now, I've watched a few of your videos in the past, but at least for this one in particular I realized I'd have to bump up the speed to 1.5x to make it through, the content is good, the painting is great, but you're slow delivery makes it hard to keep attached to the video, i don't want to be negative Casey, so keep up the good work maybe its something to think about though. Thanks for your hard work
I loved the 'Stonecast' aestetic so much that I tried it on my deathguard, creating the Statues of Nurgle's Garden. I would've never painted them had I not seen this.
Flocking hell! That's a lot of flock. They turned out great. I don't know if it's the video or not, but that green flock is very vibrant. I might have sprayed a diluted brown wash over the flock to unify it/full it down a little. But that's just me. 👍
On the video it’s like 10 times more vibrant lol. The green really shows through with all the light hitting it. It’s still super green looking at it on the table, but the vibrancy matches more of the blues on the model so it’s not super overwhelming. That being said, I almost went back in with some brown inks to push it back down a little, but I kind of hit a point where it was super late and I didn’t want to ruin it lol.
Well done ! I'd like to do the same challenge for my Khorne daemons. I was planning on making them looks like ashes with bright embers for the eyes. I just need to find a good way of making them look like ashes and have some color on the bases, just like you did with your flock !
Interesting coincidence...I just bought another army off of eBay. It’s khorne demons. I’m also trying to think of good ways to do something similar. That ash idea sounds cool! Maybe you could go with lava bases. That might be a good way to go if they are bright enough and the eyes match the bases.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Thanks, I didn't think of lava bases for some reason! I need to rebase the bloodletters as they are on tiny square bases so I'll try lava and some other things. As Corbin said pigments might work for the ash/ powdery effect
Love the turtle. Grass seems a bit unbalanced, would've been cool to have some on their heads/shoulders to give that overgrown look. But happy they got the look you were going for. They did look nice as an army. Very cool.
Found the turtle at a craft store, finally got to use it :) There are 4 or 5 models in the whole army where I went all out on the grass, covered half their body or more, heads, it seemed like a lot so I tried to hold back for most of them.
That was my first thought too, but as soon as it started laying down, the combination of color and feels really pulled it together. I’m glad you liked it :)
this is so cool, it feels very Dark Souls esc to me and that is my jam. Wish i had a reason to own 2000pt of stormcast. one thing i would have loved to have seen even if it was just on 1-2 models woulda been a "broken statue" effect with the broken peice as rubble on the base but i dont quite know how one would pull that off realistically
I do love Dark Souls, tattoo on my right elbow :) There was one model that broke during shipping, I put the piece on the base and glued it down. I’ve seen some other stonecast where they were all cut up and broken, it’s a really cool look! Snip bits off here and there, litter the pieces on the ground and put some texture on the ends of the broken bits.
titanesk work and very organised! If i may, why didn't you used that moss cup to immerge your models, for covering the base, that would have save some time and cleaning? but i suspect i am missing something here. Awsome work!
The cup was a little small. I could have put it into a larger tub of course. Honestly it was probably the lack of sleep more than anything that led to the decision to just dump it and pick it up lol.
Thanks! I have a few other darker grasses, they do look nice. If I were going to commit to another stonecast style army I would probably vary up the moss a bit more. That being said, I do like the way the green contrasts with all the darkness of these guys. I’ll be using more of these grasses for upcoming projects, im hoping to find a good balance of brightness to variety of color.
I thought the original paint job was alright, pretty traditional. If this was any other time, or any other army, I probably would have stripped it and painted it pretty similarly I imagine.
Bigger models like this can be difficult. Consistency is really what you’re after for a lot of it so I would opt for airbrushing probably 80% of it, or getting the proper blue to spray can it with. The best advice I can give is to just go for it and not be intimidated by the size. It will probably take you longer to paint, but it’s not too different from a regular Stormcast model. You will hit a phase while painting where it probably won’t look good, but that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong, you just have to keep putting more paint on the model. Pushing through and getting to the end will be super rewarding!
I must say this looks really really cool. May I ask what is story here? Why are they covered in moss? Have they been lying dead on a battlefield and partially swallowed by nature and then raised by a necromancer with blue magic?
Yeah less is more is a good rule to follow, I didn’t really do that this time lol. But they probably would have looked good with half as much grass for sure.
Damn, sorry but the can opening shot was so smart. Did you steal the idea somewhere or was it your genious idea to reveal the brand through the can opener lifting up? I've never seen it. :O Sorry for the out of topic question.
This actually looks awesome! The blue glow really sells it. Also that old home video of young Casey cleaned up really well!
I spent hours looking for that video clip, even went to my parents house and dug through boxes and boxes of vhs tapes just to get the right footage!
“Actually”... like Brent didn’t think you could really make it look good lol

To get that ashy look, basecoat in black and use gray and white dry pigments on top. Then do your eye glow.
Make sure you eat ya khorneflakes to help you get thru.
@@corbintheintern6229 Thanks for the advice, dry pigments might be the way !
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Thanks, I didn't think of lava bases for some reason! I need to rebase the bloodletters as they are on tiny square bases so I'll try lava and some other things. As Corbin said pigments might work for the ash/ powdery effect
Love the turtle. Grass seems a bit unbalanced, would've been cool to have some on their heads/shoulders to give that overgrown look. But happy they got the look you were going for. They did look nice as an army. Very cool.
Found the turtle at a craft store, finally got to use it :)
There are 4 or 5 models in the whole army where I went all out on the grass, covered half their body or more, heads, it seemed like a lot so I tried to hold back for most of them.
Just curious, what drybrushes were those? I’d love to get a set of varying sizes for a similar project! Thanks and awesome work!
They are makeup brushes from the corner drug store. $2 each, really fantastic for drybrushing!
eBay Miniature Rescues Awesome thanks! I’ll be sure to snag some, as they did the job great 😊🤘🏻.
Wow, I thought that the sheer amount of moss would.make it look ungood, but the reveal really changed my mind
They look extremely cool
That was my first thought too, but as soon as it started laying down, the combination of color and feels really pulled it together. I’m glad you liked it :)
.... my unending happiness with your channel is...... unending.... its amazing
Thanks man, I’m glad you enjoy it :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues more and more with every video my dude
Cool idea, I really like them!
this is so cool, it feels very Dark Souls esc to me and that is my jam. Wish i had a reason to own 2000pt of stormcast. one thing i would have loved to have seen even if it was just on 1-2 models woulda been a "broken statue" effect with the broken peice as rubble on the base but i dont quite know how one would pull that off realistically
I do love Dark Souls, tattoo on my right elbow :)
There was one model that broke during shipping, I put the piece on the base and glued it down. I’ve seen some other stonecast where they were all cut up and broken, it’s a really cool look! Snip bits off here and there, litter the pieces on the ground and put some texture on the ends of the broken bits.
Really really amazing work
Thank!! :)
very nice, might need to try that grassy moss, looks awesome =)
The brand I have is weird, but any kind of super short static grass will probably work similarly :)
@@eBayMiniatureRescues thank you, I normally get everything from Amazon so will check there first =)
Really good job.
Thank you!
Man didn’t have a pile of shame so he went and bought one
Haha, well, I do have quite a large pile of shame...but I did not have enough Stormcast models!
titanesk work and very organised! If i may, why didn't you used that moss cup to immerge your models, for covering the base, that would have save some time and cleaning? but i suspect i am missing something here. Awsome work!
The cup was a little small. I could have put it into a larger tub of course. Honestly it was probably the lack of sleep more than anything that led to the decision to just dump it and pick it up lol.
eBay Miniature Rescues I felt that too, was feeling sleepy like when i watched that movie "The machinist" lol
Awesome work!
This is incredible. Want to do something similar. What do you recommend in place of airbrushing the last part if you don't have an airbrush?
WOW! that looks really good!!
Would have used less moss and with darker color.. might be cooler
Thanks! I have a few other darker grasses, they do look nice. If I were going to commit to another stonecast style army I would probably vary up the moss a bit more. That being said, I do like the way the green contrasts with all the darkness of these guys. I’ll be using more of these grasses for upcoming projects, im hoping to find a good balance of brightness to variety of color.
This scheme really works for these models. What did you think of how the stardrake was originally painted?
I thought the original paint job was alright, pretty traditional. If this was any other time, or any other army, I probably would have stripped it and painted it pretty similarly I imagine.
@@eBayMiniatureRescues Any pointers? I painted that and then traded it away. :D
Bigger models like this can be difficult. Consistency is really what you’re after for a lot of it so I would opt for airbrushing probably 80% of it, or getting the proper blue to spray can it with. The best advice I can give is to just go for it and not be intimidated by the size. It will probably take you longer to paint, but it’s not too different from a regular Stormcast model. You will hit a phase while painting where it probably won’t look good, but that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong, you just have to keep putting more paint on the model. Pushing through and getting to the end will be super rewarding!
The only challenge harder than the stone stormcast eternals painted in it
I want to do a sandstone and flames approach just like this for Fyreslayers.
I have fyreslayers on the list :) not sure how to approach it yet, but I really want a finished fyreslayers army to play.
I must say this looks really really cool. May I ask what is story here? Why are they covered in moss? Have they been lying dead on a battlefield and partially swallowed by nature and then raised by a necromancer with blue magic?
That's awesome!
Great job
Thanks!
the dragon is so fucking awesome!!!
Sweet 🤩

OOHHH Stonecast ; )
Well done!
Recheck the points for the army, there's been quite a reduction in points, so everything fits within 2000 pts now, you even have 30 points left!
I hadn’t even taken into account the new GH2020. 30 points left isn’t bad at all after fitting in extra models :)
Finger out, eh? Tried to sneak that past us?🤣😂🤣😂💯👍
Great looking army. Where do you get your make up brushes from?
I got these brushes from the corner drug store, $2 per brush. Most stores have them, you just need to pick up a variety and see what works best :)
Thanks, cheers!
How much did the army sell for? Ebay link is inactive.
this is a very neat concept. Cool army. Dont burn yourself out 👍🙃
Bad ass Casey, Bad ass!
Thanks man :)
This army looks incerdible but I think a bit less grass would have done it too.
Yeah less is more is a good rule to follow, I didn’t really do that this time lol. But they probably would have looked good with half as much grass for sure.
Damn, sorry but the can opening shot was so smart. Did you steal the idea somewhere or was it your genious idea to reveal the brand through the can opener lifting up? I've never seen it. :O Sorry for the out of topic question.
I know this video is older, so I'm not sure if you'll see this comment, but for the glue you used to set the grass, did you just use PVA/elmer's glue?
