Hello Community,
I recently discovered this Board. I have to say I saw a lot of good quality which is definitely lacking on other boards these days so I thought I would sign up and share my latest work:
Mars Pattern Reaver Titan Invictorus
Known to be amongst the oldest of the Astorum Engines, Invictorus' records were unfortunately wiped out after an EMP assault by Iron Warriors during the Cursus War on Tallarn. Partial mem-notes were gradually recovered, but the Machine Spirit was sorely wounded, and required many years in support roles before being refitted and deployed in the frontlines of the Defence of Cadia during Abaddon's Thirteenth Black Crusade.
Invictorus' shoulderpads were repainted in an or (yellow) scheme during the Koromac campaign, fighting alongside the Howling Griffons in M38. After the successful completion of the campaign, the army badge was incorporated into Invictorus' overall heraldry, and the or shoulderpads granted as an honorific marking the Engine out as invested with leadership qualities.
The yellow band on the left kneepad represents the Legio's Campaign Badge, and the capital Alpha symbol was a mark of respect drawn from the Drookian Fen Guard, alongside whom Invictorus served – saving their entire 'A' company by obliterating a World Eater ambush in its early stages.
The silver skull device stems from the same campaign, marking the Titan out as a command unit.
Let me know what you think
I also plan to build a Warlord as a long run Project

Well done.
The rigth arm of your Reaver isnt a FW one? Cant remember this design, so if is your own, how was it made?
Additionally, which weapon is it?

It looks like a volcano cannon.
It also looks like it is half made from the gatling blaster, is this a magnetised arm/ magnetised front half of the arm, replacement or what?
It will be interesting to know if you can still swap armament on the titan.

you are right my friend...
it isnt magnetized though because I disliked the Gatling Blaster and will probably use it for the Warlord later
It is just made from Random Bits, including CoD bits and a SM Rhino hatch for the barell,,,

It's inspiring to see Titans sharing heraldry like that, well done, sir.
incidently, if you're intending on getting a Warlord, I'd say wait until FW have finished theirs.. scratch builds are impressive but the level of detail would look completely out of place next to your other two titans and spoil the overall effect.

the revised color scheme FW did is just great that's why the warp runners are so popular those days.. would love to do a reaver in fire wasps colors though

don't underestimate my scratchbuilding skills my friend =)
did a thunderhawk scratchbuilt a couple of years ago (sold by now) that can keep up with the FW version.. so if the scratchbuilt warlord plans go well it will be very detailed..

I don't speak German, but thanks anyway. The English site doesn't have anything helpful. Nice T-hawk! EDIT; turns out you have to look at "List of Titan Legions" specifically to find it. And even still it doesn't have anything about their paint schemes.

They do give some hints on colors. Try the downloads at Bell of Lost Souls for some of the
better well known Titan Legions colors.

Pics dont need translation.
If youre looking for a specific titan legion, Why not have us translating it for you?

hello guys
i repainted the little round armour plates for the shoulders and decided i didnt like the heraldry on the crotch armour anymore so i painted it blue..
i also permanently attached the banner that i airbrushed with graveyard earth before to give it a weathered appearence
unfortunately the stupid cables that connect the head and the carapace fell off... i didnt quite manage to bend them well enough but i will glue them back in place soon.
Avernus Maxima is hereby officially finished
here is the first foot for the warlord:
and a relatively crappy shot of the under carapace of the reaver that nobody gets to see =)
enjoy

Another stunning piece of work mate Im especially a fan of the plasma coils Having different shades of blue and white snake across it like that is an awesome idea. Different levels of power built up or something.

Subscribed, totally awesome. I agree that you should wait for the FW warlord (only because i assume you have the money for it with a reaver and a 'hound and i would love to see detailed pictures of it).
As an aside, did you build your thunderhawk to a template? If so, where did you get it?

Valkyrie anyone?
hello guys
here is a WIP Valkyrie for my Skitarii Squads
the idea is to create 2x 10 san squads Skitarii and field them as Stormtroopers in Valkyries and a Magos + retuine (Heavy Servitors + Praetorians) and field them as an Inquisitor in an Arvus Lighter (not purchased yet, but will field the same colors as the Valkyries eventually)
do the weapons look hellgun-ish enough?
the Skitarii will have power cables eventually that connect the backpacks to the hellguns
enjoy

Yes, an update! Yes, hellguns are great, neat use of scout shotguns. I approve! And are those necron bits for some of the arms?
The Valkyrie is great. Are those cityfight building bits on the base? Can we get a snap of it?
