W.I.P. – Imperial Armiger Warglaive pt. ii

I finished painting the Armiger Warglaive’s armor panels and weapons. I had already painted the ankle and collar armor so I just had the upper leg, pelvic, upper carapace, and shoulder armor pieces to finish off.

Pt. 2/3

Visually the armor has a nice correlation with the Armiger’s larger cousins, the Imperial Knights. I’ll be painting all my knights in the livery of House Raven so it’s going to be a lot of red and black with the occasional hazard stripe across it.

Step 2: Mephiston Red (Base)over all the flat panels
