The start of what will likely be a very slow burn project..

Red is the usual Tamiya clear red, this time airbrushed over a silver base in place of the gold the Chaos versions use so its a bit colder, also a little silver edge highlight where stuff would be worn (using chrome applied by brush).
Gold is pure GW this time round, figured I'd give it a try given the VMC golds are nice but dry a bit too quickly for my liking.
Golds and Silvers are finished, except the mechanicus emblem that needs its final highlight, note the slightly bronzer tone, other coloured need more work - there are more silver rivets to add, the greys on the cables need highlighting, skin needs a wash and further highlight...
The red is likely to get a pin wash of a deep brown at some point to add a bit more definition, some of the pics may show the pre-shading of the base silver which included some brushed edge highlights in a few places which have come through reasonably well.
Needs some sort of 'power' effect for the axe, and likely some black/yellow hazard markings on the claw, suitably toned down.
Fun little model though, and will be doing duel duty as a warpsmith in the CSM force
