Mechanicum - Castellax Battle-Automata w/ Darkfire Cannons

Hello readers, thanks for dropping by. I purchased a fair quantity of Malinax Mechanicum from a mate and have been re-purposing them back to the Emperor's light in Mars colours. The three Castellax Battle-Automata here are armed with the fearsome Darkfire cannon.

The first one I preserved the shoulder art and the torso beige colours from the previous scheme and re-painted the rest Mars red and added decals. The green accent colour is common along the rest of my existing force, painted back in 2016. 
The next has some nice triangle accents so I added the same to my previous Castellax which were too uniform red. That way these would also fit in better.
The third Castellax I painted both pauldrons red to match my existing force more closely and added some triangle art to the leg greave to personalise the machine and blend better as a group, little touches of individualism from the tech thralls or Datasmiths which operate these Automata.
Below is the group shot of all eight Castellax so far, I may add some more new plastic Castellax.
Next up I have some more Scyllax Guardian-Automata, Ursarax Shock Troops, another Thallax Siege-Automata, some Myrmidon Destructors, a few Thallax, a Vulturax Stratos-Automaton and a huge Ordinatus Ulator with a Belicosa Volcano Cannon!

Have a great Christmas and hopefully some more hobby goodness!

Cheers, Siph (15pts)
