So I thought the legs and the back panels would be cool, so started with an orange base, which will end up yellow.
The second Reaver and I wanted some blue in this and went with a [mostly] half and half pattern. Blue on one side and yellow on the other. But, I wanted the carapace to be completely yellow, so covered up what I previously had primed grey.
And the legs - I opted for the insides of the shins to remain grey, along with the toes. I was still thinking about potentially adding patterns and stripes for heraldry but for the most part the colours were in place.
The Warhounds also got their base coats. I have to say the brightness of the Bahama Blue was jarring at this stage - throwing doubts on the end result.
But limiting the grey areas, which had caused most difficulties last time might help ease the process along.
