Massively Modular Metal Marcher's Mech


I finally painted the Dusk Wolf from the Marcher World's starter. I used the exact same paint scheme and colours that I used for the rest of my Marcher Worlds models, picking out the areas that I felt made sense to apply a glow to. However, I don't think it worked as well for this model. Perhaps part of the issue was that I painted the parts first and then the body, so I didn't have a cohesive idea of how the assembled model would look and exactly where all the glows would be while painting (in fact I had to go back and apply the glow to the conduit on the head, as I didn't realise it was a conduit while I was painting it).

Honetly, I'm not really too happy with how this model turned out. Perhaps my monochromatic base colour scheme doesn't really suit Warcaster: Neo Mechanica warjacks? I only magnetised and painted the options that came with the starter (and mine was missing one of the head options); there's actually three more heads and some weapon options sitting around waiting to be dealt with. But I found that magnetising the W:NM warjacks to be much more difficult than it needed to be, if only PP had just made some very small tweaks to the attachment. So I don't know when I'll get around to magnetising the rest of the options, or even assembling the Strike Raptor. I might not even magnetise the Strike Raptor? I dunno, we'll see.
