Kelsey Eldred
Minnetrista, Minnesota
Kelsey built a Warhammer 40,000 Imperial Knight Paladin from a Games Workshop 28mm Knight Preceptor/Canis Rex kit. The concept was to show the massive war machine running to close in on its opponent. Games Workshop Fenrisian Wolves were added to the scene to help convey the sense of motion, and the tree, made from a cardboard tube with hot glue for the bark, has been knocked aside. With the exception of a few decals, Kelsey hand-painted the Paladin with Monument Hobbies and The Army Painter Warpaints acrylic colors and turned to Citadel Nuln Oil for shading. The base wears The Army Painter Battlefield Basing Snow, Vallejo Terrain Paste, and Citadel Stirland Battle Mire.
