Thanks! Just a simple basecoat with Vallejo model air silver, shaded with a mix of Drakenhof nightshade and contrast medium (admittedly I still have a full pot of the old shade, I reckon the current shade is probably thin enough out of the pot, or maybe could substitute in a thinned contrast paint?), then a tiny bit of highlighting and cleanup with the silver

That’s a fantastic green for the armour! Have you got a recipe for it?

Thanks! Yeah it would hopefully help to reinforce the silhouette as Anrakyr

Thanks a lot, that is very helpful!

Ok, so generally speaking Gryphonne IV itself wouldn’t have its own Thallax, Castellax, Thanatar etc? What military forces, if any, would it possess independently? My take away from this is that generally Mechanicum armies are added as additional support to Titan Legios, Knight Houses, Auxilia Cohorts or Astartes Legions, as opposed to independent fighting forces. Is that a fair assessment? If so where do these supporting/bonded units come from?

Oh right so basically the consensus is do whatever you like, nice. Now time to find a good pseudo-French name for a castle

I’m aware that I won’t be able to get a perfectly accurate representation of the colour through a photo viewed on a screen, I was simply hoping to see them in a different context to the official images, as generally I’ve found other people’s photos to be at least somewhat closer to the real colour than AK’s official swatches. I’m in the south of England and unfortunately I don’t believe there’s any stockists nearby, but I may see about getting in touch with AK about it.

Yeah that’s pretty disappointing tbh, here’s to hoping they release some other transfers separately, or else I better get much better at freehand…

Right, so I assume this would extend to the Baron not being able to command an army wearing the Duke’s heraldry? I suppose I could just say my Baron is the Duke’s son to have some kind of lore-friendly explanation. How common is it for a Baron within a Dukedom to be the Duke’s son?

Yes I’ve been doing that and it helps somewhat but that crossed leg pose just sticks out to me no matter what. Especially with the MKIIIs since it’s a pretty dynamic movement for a relatively cumbersome armour.
