Moiraxes Part 2 – These (mech) legs are made for walking


Hi Folks,

 

Following pre-building of the legs and carapace, instead of keeping going on with weapons, I have shifted to paint jobs. Starting with the legs.

 

The idea was getting some progress while not being fully decided about how the carapace and cockpit will be done. My Korvax inspired scheme is rather easy to apply plain Eshin grey with recesses in Administratum grey and highlight with Mechanium Standard grey. But is there some room on the armor panels for some secondary color? On big chassis sure there is but on Moiraxes, space left available is limited. Though less limited on Moiraxes than on other types of Armigers.

 

For these lads, I have decided to apply a limited amount of secondary color, aiming at 2 distinct patterns: a bonish one for the Gyges claw bearers and a red one for the Laslocker. A single leg as been set bicolor (the left one) in each case. After starting only with the lower panel I finally ended doing also the upper panel.

Rest is easy: robots support largely the dry brushing as a main technique and as a result it goes fast painting these lads.

The basing was also in line with my usual approach: Tan earth and Kislev Flesh brush applied on limited texture plus some tufts. Yet, the future Laslock Moirax received a deeper work with some ruins added, using old 3rd Ed. Plastic ruin floor, rocks and some left over bitz from Administratum buildings.

I let you consider the job so far.

Next step will be cockpits: now that I have ignited the paint job, I can’t stop in the middle of the way.

 

See you.
