Hi Folks,

With torso done and legs done, it was only a matter of (little) time for these to part to be united in the holy forges of Mars.

The big boy is now standing, only missing some finiching touches.

While heraldry guide for Freeblades (or Dreadblades) leave a lot of room to the pilot to customize its steed, some stuffs can be seen as usual features:

- No or low amout Imperium marks - the 2 headed eagle is seldom in general

- No household marks, of course, and instead a persomnal heraldy usually repeated on both leg and front paultrons

- No or little battle honours - except on Canis Rex which bears a lot

Issues:

- Never notices up to now than there is not so much Imperium symbol on decals...

- I do not have much decals at the correct size(s) to be repeated as a distinctive Freeblade icon. And most are anyway SM chapters icons and, frankly it would be a shame...

- Mechanicum decals are msotly Skitarii and, let´s say, not especifically opus mechanicum tainted. There are cogs but...

So, what to do? I tried painting some decals with a freeware mimicking .pptx and paint softwares. Awful experience. 

Preparing my own decals requires a dedication I cannot afford these days.

Let´s see what I can do with my pile of decals.

- ooP Cadian sheet gave some nice skulls for kill marks, numbers and a codebar. Just like on the example of the banner.

- SM (BA) decal sheet have an imperial eagle spitting lighting and ready to be parted in 2.

- Skitarii decals gets skuls in cogs, both white and black. let´s cut and use them on paultrons.

And here is the result:

It will be enough atm. Shall I (finally) one day draw some own decals, I have enough spare place to add some extra customized stuff. Such as a personal freeblade icon. But it will have to wait.

Cheers.
