Fighting for Trans Rights? Go in heavy and bring the Trans Krab! Something of an iconic paint scheme now, the Trans King Crab has become a symbol of not moving on the stance that trans rights are human rights.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Artist Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a bare-bones & basic paint scheme that stands out with few steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Primer: White or off-white. Citadel Wraithbone used here but any will do. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • ‘Mech Body: Vallejo Deep Sky Blue, Vallejo Squid Pink, Vallejo White<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Accents\/Weapons Vallejo Gunmetal, Citadel Nuln Oil <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cockpit: Citadel Iyanden Yellow <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Panel lining: Citadel Nuln Oil <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Base: Vallejo Ground Texture (Grey Pumice), Vallejo Stonewall Grey, Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Base Rim: Vallejo Deep Sky Blue, Vallejo Squid Pink, Vallejo White, Vallejo Black <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Painting process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Prime ‘Mech with any white or off-white primer. These colours are all solidly opaque so no need for fancy priming. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Block out main colours on the ‘Mech one colour at a time.Laying the brush flat and dragging it across the ‘Mech helps to keep the lines clean. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Paint up the weapons barrels, missile pod, and any metallic accents with Gunmetal. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Tidy up any spillover. As these colours are opaque you can easily touch up with the correct paint. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Use a covering of Nuln Oil on all metallic paint, go heavy in the weapon barrels. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Lightly drag a small brush with Nuln Oil through the gaps in the armour plates to create depth. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. Paint the cockpit with Iyanden Yellow contrast paint. Don’t worry if it pools a little in the edges as this is a quick way to do window shading. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    8. Cover the base in a layer of Ground Texture. Shape it however you want and add any debris you choose. I prefer a lunar surface style as it doesn’t conflict with the paint scheme. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    9. Once dry lightly coat the Ground Texture in Stonewall Grey. Then when the paint has dried brush over a heavy layer of Drakenhof Nightshade. Let it pool in some places to accent depth in the terrain. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    10. Paint the rim front in the Trans Pride flag in whatever design you choose. Paint the rest of the base rim black. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      And you’re done! This Trans Krab is now ready to bust bigots on the battlefield!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
