Golden horse killer WIP detail

i been working on this picture for a while i love how its turning out so far i like adding in breaks and cracks in to it tough metal body, i am still wondering what to place in to its right hands if it will be food or not.  also this one seems t be turning in to a female of the spieces. this is a boss level creature of the role-play forum i run with a friend we where recently able to kill one of these in a tunnel by blowing up its throat with a bag of gold coins.
