Sharp eyed viewers may notice that I did not use the cabling from the weapons to the carapace or under the head. The weapon cables are staying off purely for the convenience of having the weapons interchangeable. The head cables may go in later but I honestly do not see how they will improve the look of the model so there is no rush.
I would ultimately like to add kill banners to the weapons but I have not settled on what I will use. I am thinking of a fine, cheap jeweler's chain. The material used will matter as well as I want them to look like cloth banners.
I also have not added a lot of the iconography either as I am not relishing the idea of free handing them. There is a possibility of getting decals printed but I am still mulling that decision. So here you go, the saturated version of the Legio Gryphonicus scheme.
The base is meant to represent the disembarkation ramp of the Mechanicus lander that brought it. I gave it a very mottled metallic paint job to give the impression the ramp has been dinged by the numerous pieces of heavy equipment moving over the surface. I could spend days more detailing this model but I need to move on to the new units for my Space Wolf ITC list.
