I finished the Caestus earlier in the week, but lighting wasn't right until today for photos. My original plan to edge highlight the paint chips was dropped due to practicality. I just didn't want to do it! I am painting these space wolves for me, which means sometimes I don't do things the 'right way', but rather the way I want to at the time I am painting. The rhino and the Caestus were meant to be the equivalent of a pallet cleanser for painting, but somehow mid-way through the rhino I decided to rummage around my closet and come up with way more Space Wolves than I though I had. I even have one of those single boom Caestus things GW released in plastic. I guess the question now, is whether I continue painting SW vehicles, or try my hand at some infantry. There is a nice box of SW terminators sitting unopened not far from me.
Happy Painting!

I love it John! Your work is a constant inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank's Greg. I am looking forward to seeing your work on the NOVA Open Ork charity army this year!
DeleteI got so many ideas. I hope I can execute them. Back is finally good enough to sit and work, and the temps are getting high enough to airbrush with constant heaters in the garage! You'll also be happy to know I'm about to start an emperors children army :)
DeleteI'll be following your progress closely with the ECs. I keep thinking how they are going to look in a display cabinet next to your yellow orks. Great colors to have side by side.
Deletenah do the flying brick first!
ReplyDeleteWere you at all tempted to make one from two Stormfangs as opposed to the stock FW kit?
ReplyDeleteNo, but only because I've had the Caestus sitting in a drawer for years. I'd love to see a Caestus converted out of the plastic kits though. I think that could look really cool
DeleteGreat work this is one if the nicest Caestus I have seen
ReplyDeleteAs always, I am impressed by you painting. Love what you do to vehicles. I think this might be one of my favorite blue Space Wolves.
