Better Late Than Never - Imperial Knight Castellan
/
Warhammer 40,000 - I’ve been sitting on this model for a little bit as my client opted for my no rush squeeze it in when I can option. This is mostly reserved for friends or long-standing clients. If there’s no rush and I can squeeze the models in when I’m working in a similar color scheme or when I need a break from a grindy job I offer a slightly discounted rate. Of course lately it seems every client has been in a rush so many of these “when you get to it” jobs have been pushed to the back of the line. As I expect a flood of models in the last portion of the year I’m trying to grind through this backlog before the next wave crests.
The Knight Castellan has seen some ups and downs since its release but in my opinion it’s still a huge threat. Especially in less competitive friendly games this thing can be the bane of many forces. I’ve painted a number of models for this client and he has a custom logo that he’s worked into all of his Imperial Forces. THe background he has for his force is loosely based on the Astral Claws/Red Corsairs. This gives him a great excuse to mix forces and try out different house/doctrines/traits having a custom color scheme he’s unlikely to get flak for his personal backstory. Essentially a Chapter Master declaring his own little fiefdom in the Imperium Nihilus, wich has happened many times in the official fluff so it’s not to far of a stretch.
