Anvils of the Heldenhammer Lord-Veritant (with Gryph-Crow!)

 Taking a break from Chaos things to do some Stormcast Eternals! 

Anvils of the Heldenhammer Lord-Veritant Shandra Moongheist with her trusty Gryph-Crow Yazik!

Lord-Veritants are charged with rooting out corruption and the taint of Chaos. They are often posted to Ruination Chambers as the Ruination Chambers are used as the last line of defence against the worst of the chaos incursions... and the Lord-Veritants are there to make sure their charges don't end up tainted themselves... 

I think this is the first of the Anvils of the Heldenhammer Stormcast Eternals that I've actually finished. I have over a dozen in various states of paintedness...? completion...? 

This is also the first of the miniatures needed for the Vigilant Brotherhood Stormcast Eternals Spearhead army. Only nine left to go... mind you, one is the Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-stalker who is a pretty big beastie... and the three Prosecutors aren't exactly smol either... The Liberators shouldn't be too hard to knock off fairly quickly, tho... 

I know I SHOULD be working on Radukar and the Fell Bats... but I kind of just want to focus on these!?

(I HAVE been working on Radukar a bit as well... I'll get him done for next Wednesday!) 

I'd been really torn on what to name the Lord-Veritant here, I got it in my head that I wanted MOON in the last name (for some reason..?)... and had come up with loads of variants... (Moonstrong, Moonblade, Moonglow, Moonshield, Moonstrike, Moonstorm, Moonhammer, Mooncloud, Blackmoon, Redmoon, Firemoon, Moonflame, Moonglare, Moonstew, Monomoon, Moonghast, Moongheist, Moonbae, Moonflet, Moonstoat, Moonglower, Moondüg, Moonclaw, Moonsight, Moondew, Moonthunder, Moonwax, Moonrock, Moonbrew, Blightmoon, Moonblight, Moonshade, Moonshard, Moonshart, Heartmoon, Moonfort, Moonfart, etc, etc...) and eventually settled on two... and was kind of torn between Brightmoon and Moongheist, at first I was thinking maybe not Moongheist... but then decided it would work for an Anvil of the Heldenhammer... and have left that in this post, which I'd drafted while I was letting paint dry before painting the name on the back of the base and applying finish.. Also... I usually google names just in case something I totally thought I made up turns out to be the name of some K-Pop star or deranged maga podcaster and people end up thinking i've named it after them... and it turned out Brightmoon was one of the characters from She-Ra (which, you think I'd have remembered...), which... isn't so bad... but didn't want anyone thinking I was naming her after that... so had decided Moongheist for sure... and then when I went to paint the name on the back of the base... I painted Brightmoon anyway!? When I saw the post and remembered I'd settled on Moongheist, I thought maybe I'd go repaint it.. then thought I'd leave it as Brightmoon and change the post... Then I looked at the photo and decided there was something else I'd need to touch-up anyway... so... Maybe I'll change it to Moongheist...?
