Heldrakes and Dunecrawlers

This past month, I managed to paint up a couple more Kastelan robots. However, since I've already shown photos of the first two and the new ones are essentially the same, I won't post pictures of them. Aside from that, I finally finished up the Heldrake painted as a gift. Since I need to transport it across the country and since it has many fragile pieces and not a lot of attachment points, I have not assembled it yet. But I took a couple photos of a couple interesting pieces. Highlighting the patterns on the body and wings was a long process, but I think the final product looks good!

Heldrake head... might look good on a Chapter Master's wall, too.

Heldrake body, highlights and all.

Another point of progress has been assembly. I have begun assembling the Skitarii Vanguard, and finished the assembly of two Onager Dunecrawlers. They are both outfitted with Neutron Lasers, both because a S10, AP1 blast sounds pretty good, and because it's a radiation-based weapon!

Finally, I have enabled comments on this blog! I welcome all discussions about painting, army lists, and the 40k universe, as well as questions for me. I also know that the internet can be a horrible place. I have seen comment section arguments on YouTube, Facebook, etc. Don't make me regret it.

    What's the paint scheme for the dunecrawler?

      I'm planning on painting both of them up in the standard Mechanicum scheme: Khorne Red basecoat, Mephiston Red on top (Citadel paints). This one already has some Ushabti Bone and Shining Gold (old Citadel color) accent colors on it. I painted up the areas between the legs and the armor plates to make sure i could get the whole thing painted and not have black undercoat voids where the paintbrush won't fit.
