A Stormcast Eternal Liberator I painted for my local antics branch for their local competition. I decided to base my stormcast on the celestial knight with the dark blue armour and white shoulders. For the celestial wolf I was inspired by Knight-Venator’s Star-eagle with a orange belly and gradually darker blues, I also carried this on to the hammers smoke as to represent the same magic is carried in the soldiers hammer. I added a scroll to the shield and a purity seal to the shoulder just to make more interesting to paint. For the base I tried to imagine what the celestial knight’s homeland would be and the first thing I could think of was the twilight woods from “the edge chronicles”. With that I designed a floral base with snow to show a cold but flourishing forest as to also compliment the celestial knight’s cold design.

This was my first competition piece I have done and I have to say I had a lot of fun putting it together, designing and painting it, even though I dislike the design of the Stormcast Eternal (sigmarines). I hope I can try something like this again hopefully with something I am more interested in.
