Here’s my Xana inspired but loyalist test mini..,

Love it, really gritty weathering.

Awesome! Always liked the Xana scheme and the chainwork on the shoulder pad looks really cool.

Thanks! It’s from the Legion Command Squad transfer sheet, a nod towards using these as Legion Thallax and then being chained to a Legion Forge Lord. Didn’t want to stick actually Legion iconography on them, as I also want to be able to use these as their own force.

So I was experimenting with a yellow industrial look, but then I had the random thought of bronze/copper robots to echo Talos, the giant bronze statue from greek myth which would tie in with my alpha legion, so did a test model. The yellow looks good and will weather well, but I think the bronze also looks good, and is a thousand times easier to do  what do you think looks better?

Yellow

 

Bronze

I like both, but I think the Yellow winns out for me.

 

Perhaps a bit of both, with some leaning more one way or the other, perhaps ot denout seperat squads.

Another vote for yellow. The bronze looks good but your yellow really pops.

Yellow!

Thanks for the feedback all!  Despite my best efforts with the bronze/copper, literally everyone has said the yellow looks better, which is great, but the bronze is so muh easier  If you're interested. the yellow is just averland sunset over leadbelcher spray (2-3 coats until solid) then a glaze of imperial fist to make it pop!
