Winter's Claw - The Old Wolf's Caestus Assault Ram.

The client wanted something special to represent the personal Assault ram of the Old Wolf Logan Grimnar so we decided on painting each 'arm' of the ram as an aspect of Freki and Gerki. The Chapter symbol is all freehand, no decals were used to paint this miniature. 

I wanted to paint some runes onto the hull as if the machine were warded with Fenrisian wyrd magic but I wanted them to stand out. I decided to paint them as if they were glowing with power. Can you guess what the runes are and why there is a gap? If you know why then ascend to the rank of Great Wolf. 

I've added rust to the rivets and streaked it along the edge horizonatally instead of vertically to show that this machine is in a near constant use. The striping effect has been added with an airbrush.
