Civitas Terrain is finally listed as temporarily out of stock instead of "no longer avaliable" which signals a restock soon. It's been almost 11 months!

Hope they re-package it with the roofs/tower tops, the later is pretty weak without the civitas stuff. A combo kit wit all 3 would interesting if there was some savings.

A scenery bundle would have been something and a neutral release without affecting a new edition or if they're doing Epic instead.

It'd be nice to have all those sprues in one place.

Zhor pattern accelerator railgun, basically count as graviton for warlord chassis. I can get people saying it looks more like a quake cannon and I believe the designer likely intended it to be used as one, I envision its bulk is on account of the rings/rails using a bunch of power to lob solid ammunition at insane speeds.

Count as card front/back (same rules just different name):






Also finished work on engine war 5.0

Ever so slowly getting some paint on this chunky boyo. No real weathering, freehands or battle damage yet, but getting the basic look down in the right direction.

Those legs look awesome!!!

Looking forward to seeing your Warmaster, Sherrypie.

Cheers Overread and SamusDrake, don't hold your breath on it as this blighter still has some miles of trim to go

Been under the weather the last two weeks but finally got back to the Nemesis Warbringer. Gold trims and lots of agrax earthshade for the metal pieces, while getting that damn head closer to being finished.

Hopefully I should get more done next weekend.

Quick snap of the gang of filthy traitors, with the Warbringer that I've just finished. Legio Murray finally walks.

Nice, black with white trim is interesting. White transfers would be cool. You gotta do a lil snowman on one of the bases, or a penguin or both :p

Those would make for good legion mascots, for sure. I'm convinced one could decorate the base of a warlord or warmaster with a diorama of Chill Penguin's level from Megaman X.

Motivating the Warmaster's painting, today I wrote the scenario for our annual Mega-Titanicus. This time it's going to be on two tables, with ~12 or more expected players and plenty of fender benders in the making.

On one table, we've got an all out assault from the traitors agains a fortified siege line. On the other table, we've got a nearby island full of airfields and logistics, pumping support to the fight as it suddenly comes under attack from the other traitor force that marched under the waves to take it down. Some fun little interactivity there, we'll see how the battle shakes out as supplies and bombs fly down from the second table onto the main fight.





Me and my camera will be happy campers, regardless

The rules for fortifications are interesting. It feels like GW should explore this aspect of the game in a...sigh...future expansion.

But yes! Let us know how you get on!

I will, SamusDrake. This weekend it's going down

And for that, I finished a thing!

COR AUT MORS!

Excidium Ultimum, the Ultimate Ruin, Warmaster of the Ashen Gods, marches to war engines and weapons blazing. Pretty happy with the freehanded checkers, lines and banners, hadn't done those for a long time.




She's escorted by the XIV legion, who are certainly not the bigger people in this relationship.



Some close-ups on the legs. I'm satisfied with those checkers and especially with the knee-joint NMM.




The Grav Imploder is running pretty hot.



Freehanding banners was something I haven't really done, though not that different from regular acrylic painting I did a lot of as a teenager. It was fun... and thus something I'll probably have to do more of in the future, oh dear.




Naturally there are people about on machines of this size. You can spot one in the armpit and another loading the mortars on the shoulders.




Since legio Favilla is my pretentious art project, I also tested using a 0.1 mm pen to put some latin phrases in as appropriate (works, but reaaally didn't like ti stay put when the varnish was applied. Whoops).
- On her front armour the scrolls read "Solvet saeclum in favilla / Heaven and Earth in ashes ending", part of Dies Irae that inspired the legio's name in the first place.
- The skull pile banner reads "Mors certa / Death is inevitable".
- The bleeding heart has the battle cry "Cor aut mors / Heart or death", an ultimatum to submit and obey or die. Your money or your life, but cooler.
- The burning planet with a sword in it reads "Mors tua, vita mea / Your death, my life" in reference to the legio's purpose as an ultima ratio formation that is only sent to the fray when diplomacy breaks down so badly that the opposing side needs to be erased from the galactic memory in its entirety. By the death of their enemies, Mankind asserts its perceived manifest destiny to rule the stars.

I always thought the Iconoclast was a ridiculous and unnecessary release, until today...

Sherrypie, that is absolutely fantastic. The "head" looks very sinister and would have never have thought of it. It goes to show that the best part of this hobby is the personal touches that the hobbyist applys themselves.

That looks amazing Sherry, insane amounts of detail on the flags.

Cheers Samus and Crablez, it's all in the light touch and liberal slathering of brown washes when something needs rectifying

Mega-AT with 67 god-machines and 14 commanders, report in the blog

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/630/717557.page#11462821

That is an unsettlingly good job there, sherrypie.
please add 1 to the 'seriously impressed' list for me ,would you?


And 1 to the 'not going to be able to match that' list too



Thanks for sharing the epicness dude

Love the Old School banners!

Cheers lads, "impressive" is a word baked into the decision to roll out titans into the warzone in the first place

I ought to do more banners...

New year, new Legio? Close enough

Legio Metallica reaver. Just the base and some tidying to do

What a handsome chap he is!

Very nice Zedmeister! I see you have chosen the best Legio there for your force

So have finally finished a Warlord I've been working on. It's not technically for AT (although I will play that game at some point, especially as I have effectively made a force while building them for Epic). I present: Pugnus Mortis, of the Iron Skulls Legio, attached to the 3001st Expedition of the Great Crusade and acting in support of the 12th Legion Astartes. (More pics under the spoiler tags)

Solid stuff, though those World Eaters better have a good comms line to the titan or someone's getting stepped on

Haha yes that's why I added the Apothecary to the infantry on the base, to harvest the gene-seed of the troops that are stood on.

I was trying to capture the spirit of the SM 2nd edition box artwork, with the mass of infantry amongst titans.

Uhhhhh, Legio Metallica are gathering for war and looking strong right now...

Beligenents reported to be 'mint'.

Investigations ongoing into heretical Titan flavouring strategy.

report sent to tactica administratium...

That's a lot of world eaters! Looks awesome.



The grimdark crodax squadron is painted. I went with grey as they're more likely to be terrain for most games.


I also updated the land train rules to v3, fixed a few errors, made some stuff a bit better, made some stuff a bit more volatile hen it explodes, also made the initial land train upgrade free. Main terminal is unchanged but I'll update it if more weapon options come out.

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/510/787202.page#11495204

Made some fan made options for the warbringer nemesis and dire wolf chasis.



I've finally finished "matsumura fishworks", the mega fauna seafood processing facility.

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/510/787202.page#11504139

Some new robot models for necromunda just went up for pre order and they're really good for AT. I was so inspired by them that I wrote some rules for them/terminals. Imagine them on 60mm bases, think like close combat acastus's


https://www.games-workshop.com/en-CA/necromunda-enforcer-sanctioner-automata-2023

Of note, you get 5 weapon options, 4 of which can go on either arm, only the fist is locked into the right arm. The sprue comes with 2 of every weapon as well.



Terminals I whipped up:
