Adeptus Mechanicus - Thanatar painting complete

Managed to sneak in an hour or painting last night and snapped some pics this evening after I got home. Thanatar ready for deployment!

  

Not a whole lot of change from the previous post, got the shading on the gold and blue, managed to get the sealant on in a break in the surprisingly rainy weather, then applied the gloss coat to the faceplate. I'm thinking that it needs a little battle damage/weathering, now that I'm looking at it. I do like the 'fresh off the factory floor' look though - the tech priests would endeavor to keep their charges in peak condition, after all!


Pulled out all the Castellax and Thallax for a little Legio Cybernetica family portrait - quite pleased with how they all tie together!

    Looks great man, I am currently painting my Krios tanks before putting them together, and then it's on to my Automata as well! Keep up the great work

    I would happily remove piles of orks from the table just to play this army. Great army shot!

    That family portrait is nice - scary, but nice.

    Nice, I like the cohesive look of the family. If FW only could release some skitarii to go with them.

    Yay! Man I have to say the light blue and gold accents on the back of the thanatar really make it pop. Also, I dig the gloss-black of the "head" shell.

    @Damn The Valley: Nice! I really want to get my hands on a Krios - hope to see some pics of what you come up with!

    @Col. Ackland: Thanks mate!

    @Greg Hess: Thanks! I have yet to field any of 'em, quite looking forward to seeing how they perform!

    @Zab: Cheers bud!

    @Agis: Totally! The tech thralls are neat, but I'd love to see some actual Skitarii as well!

    @Fai: Thanks very much!

    @Jugger: He's a beast, no doubt!

    @Eater of Small Things: Thanks man! Tried to have a common theme to the paint scheme running through all of 'em, worked out pretty well in the end!

    Cheers, everyone!
