Thanatar Siege Automata Finished

Good week of painting progress, managed to zenithal prime the Knights and finish the Thanatar!

Heres the progess and what I've done, I decided that to tie it in with the Thallanxi, he should be mostly brass coloured, with red as a nod to the Mechanicum and because its better for adding some weathering.

Base wise, I wanted it simple, but added a beam of plasticard, nothing specific, and wanted that rusted and leaking out. My idea was that this loyalist robot was stomping over the degraded and spreading corruption, not sure that actually somes across though, I think I might add a Sons of Horus shoulder pad with similar rusting and weathering next to it to drive that home.

Base colours started, Warplock bronze, leadbelcher and khorne red for the most part

Got carried away and started some weathing a bit early here,
had to be redone later on because the red needed work

All base coats finished here and started pushing the red to be
more "red" with a lot of fine layering of glazes, Balthazar gold then Auric Armour to  highlight

Almost finished here, armour gone over with Brass Scorpion, reds highlighed with Wazzdakka Red and re-weathered,Vallejo Smoke applied as a wash to most of the model, plasma Mortar some with Vallejo Icy Blue, highlighted up to white.
Loads of powders on the rusty beam and base as well as brushed to the feet
