Games Workshop - Warhammer 40.000
Celestine The Living Saint
August 2004

From the first time I saw this model I knew I had to paint it. IMO it's the best Games Workshop sculpt of the past 2 years. The facial expression, the pose and the many details and overall gothic feel makes this miniature of exceptionally high quality.
So I had to put a paintjob on this one that should do this model honour. The base is made up out of cork bits, a plastic gothic arc from the 40K scenery set, and sand.
Long before I bought this model I already knew I wanted to do a gold and red color scheme. When Mayne Thiele's version appeared, I was inspired by his use of a limited color pallette.
