It is the drop zone commander buildings, I printed and laminated them. Search Hawk Wargames buildings and you’ll see them, they’re PDFs.

I also bought some styrofoam blocks at Walmart, they’re 4.9” tall so they should cover enough of a Warlord to count as LoS blocking and then made a building template in Publisher that’s 8 stories tall. This should be pretty easy terrain to make on the cheap, they’re laminated so they last longer.

Due to slight issues with warhounds ended up with more than i needed for my loyal legion. Solution? Start traitor legion. This way maybe get local opponent by providing models! So today got reaver and tomorrow pick warlord. With 2 warhounds about 1250pts and i have total 12 knights in 2 schemes to use as well.

Reaver ready for magnets. Went for more adventorous pose. Think mortis for colour scheme. Challenge to do that black armour

Be mindful of the way you glue those feet to your Reaver's legs! I believe they're on the wrong way round on that particular photo.

As for my current project(s), I am currently waiting on the next box of Knights to arrive. And I may or may not be planning on adding a somewhat more special conversion to the Knights of House Atreus, despite my expectation that it will not have rules for years to come.

They are backwards and on the wrong legs.

I believe the lower legs are also backwards. It’s hard to make out in your pic, but the eagles should be at the rear of the leg.

Oh yeah, now they mention it, I see it too; the entire foot is like 180° from where it should be: the three toes close together are the front of the foot.

Eagles are in rear. I had hard time figuring originally which way they should be but figuring that with armour plates eagles at front wouldn't be visible anyway so right or wrong eagles rear so they can at least(barely) be seen.

See what you mean with feet...Whoops. Well I think I should be able to get rest of pieces glued in place so small enough issue. Compared to knees at back warlords this is minor issue.

Eh, it happens. I think I only spotted it due to spending waaay too long on the legs of my own Reaver. And note to self: when I get a Warlord I need to be wary of the knees. Good to know, thanks!

With this I have 3 warlords and 3 reavers of which only one warlord is correctly assembled Assuming I don't screw up in magnetization/armour plate part! Got the skeleton properly done(I think). Both warlords have knees backward(idiot could not read) and one is missing one defensive gun(dropped it and could not find anymore). One reaver I twisted leg too much forward so the armour plates did not settle naturally and one ended up losing parts of head detail due to assembling half sleep, having trouble and basically handling it with plastic glue in fingers...Luckily the head plate covers most of the melted part so one would need to peek closely from eyeslits to notice that damage!

Warhounds I think are okay except one's legs might be bit weird pose as it collapsed and was half dried up so ended up in bit unintendedly tilting pose.

One reason of many why I avoid 40k scale warlord like plague. Apart from price and the fact gaming wise it's virtually useless(6k points...sheesh. Would need like 20k+ army to really make sense) I'm sure I would mess up 1500e model somewhere

For the reaver with the feet backwards, have you tried putting it in your freezer? It can help weaken the super glue. This being said, if you try be extremely cautious and don't break it.

I found the trick a while ago here
https://robhawkinshobby.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-death-queue-making-progress.html#more, scroll down and read the part titled "Terrorgheist". I did it on a partially built model, took me a while, working very cautiously and involved some cutting and twisting but eventually I could separate the parts I wanted to separate. The model spent a night in my freezer before I started "dismembering" it. (sounds like a serial killer …)

Before you glue the armor on you could saw straight through the ball joint, swap them, then plastic glue them back on.

I use plastic glue specifically to ensure the models stay as they are once assembled even if they say fall to flofr. So only way to separate them now is cut them and that results in more visible issue

Yeah. The plastic terrain looks nice but if you want plenty of los blocking terrain that could even hide warlord you need to buy lots of it. As is you get enough to give some -1 to hit, maybe one or two place to hide knights and that's it.


That's why i went with dropzone commander buildings. Cheap and being nearly twice up scale plenty of warlord hiding buildings as well as shorter ones

That rules out that super glue trick.

I see your point, the angles are the tricky one there. Just thinking out loud, what about repositioning the toes? If you do, beware of the alignment for the front, lateral and back pistons, looking at the picture I think you'll have some slight issues there as well as it is now.

Once again hobby update arises. Due to rapid appearance of TWO Audax players (why, people?) in our company, I feel a bit outclassed in maneuverable department - you know, Warhounds and Knights, engines that are actually able to move. Not keen on adding more Warhounds, the choice was given to knights as an independant force for scouting. But what if they face something big and would need a ranged support; what knight can match a titan in durability and firepower?
Answer is Acastus chassis, specific cally Porhyprion knight. So, our Zhao-Akhad knights need two of theese to aid thier Warhound-free comrades of Legio Xestobiax. Since supplements with additional knights are not released at this moment, Porhyrions are planned to be count-as Warhounds without the ability to push reactors and a Scale of 5 - it should go fine.

Those should be okay. What WILL be problem though is right arm...Whoops. The darn raised knee gets bit way. Next time I build reaver assemble and magnetize upper torso first so I can check how weapons affect leg position!

It's not total disaster but does look bit odd if you peek up closely. Wonder if I could reposition the right arm parts a bit so it would look more natural...

edit: Funny btw reaver gets all the comments and not one comment on warlord which is the one I was actually hoping for some comments!

yup, saw all of them.

finished mine today aswell(part from the weps as they havent been released yet)
but as i live in a dark apartment i need natural light for the iphone photos, something that it gets less and less of here in scandenavia as the winter is coming, so no img yet.

as a collector this stand alone game is a blizz as i have never enjoyed painting something as mutch as i have done the reaver.
next up are some warhounds but as they wont be in stock until the 26 at my dealer, and i have more then enugh other things to do on the 26 that is on a ps4, i`ll enjoy the painting break.

It is sad, but no - Inferno pretty much seems to be silent on that topic; only knights I've spotted were those Malinax soon-to-be traitors, and it seems they were steamrolled by Xestobiax unnoticed in a battle with Mortis engines.
However, since Zhao-Akhad is capable of producing actuall Titans, knights would be of no problem - and since pretty much all forgeworlds have them listed in macroclade rosters, it is logical to assume there was a production of knights, especially considering the fact they do not compete for resourses with Titan production.
Anyway, we did override this fact by using the small expeditionary part of Xestobiax, sent to aid Great Crusade - this is mentioned in Inferno. This detachment fought on alien worlds, and would need scouts; so probably all of the few warhounds and most of knights would go with it.

(maybe there should be another thread for short battle reports?)

Anyway had a blast in second game vs Legio Gryphonicus player I played 2 weeks ago. This time as we both had added titans to collection we upped points to 2000(exact) and more differences started to appear. He's more of WYSIWYG so had warlord with standard gear, reaver with 2xgatling and missiles, reaver with 2xlaser blaster and missiles, 2 warhounds with plasma and laser destroyers and only non-wysiwyg 5 knights with meltas and 3 knights with battle cannons(actually these were my models. He was supposed to borrow just 2 but as I had all of mine with 2 different colour schemes, albeit incomplete, and his were unpainted completely he opted to use mine and used colour schemes to identify weapons. This was the basic maniple in full strenght.

I had 2 maniples(he thought you were limited to 1 maniple but I quickly found rule text which clearly said at least one maniple so that solved it). First the myrmidon with warlord with missiles, volcano cannon and plasma cannon. Then another warlord with quake cannon, macro gatling blaster and paired gatling blaster. In retrospect quake and sunfury should have been swapped. Now I had long range warlord with one 24" gun and 24" gun with one longer range gun that top of that suffers -1 to hit within 24" where rest of the guns want to be! Silly me. Anyway this maniple was rounded by reaver with power fist, volcano cannon and apocalypse launcher.

Second maniple was the venator with reaver w/laser blaster, volcano cannon and warp missile. Also 2 warhounds both with turbo laser and volcano cannons. All in all weaponry was partially chosen to fit within 2000 pts. We rolled for scenarios and both ended up seek and engage. I got glory and honour but last time I had that and had lost trying to get that warlord dead. He discarded vital cargo(which surprised me a bit). We rolled the one with triangle shaped DZ's on opposite sides. For personal traits I had steal initiave once and he had once per game activate again for 3 heats. He had my veteran princep as his target. For strategems 4 for 2k and 2 extra since he had legion rules. I opted for command post, missile launcher, thermal mines and blind barrage. I declared right off the bat I would NOT use sabotage and he agreed to do vice versa. We both feel that's bit too crippling strategem. Maybe in 3k+ games it would be less crippling.

Anyway turn 1 I screwed up a bit and first fired with my long range warlord. Problem being sunfury is not long range...Also should have advanced with 2nd warlord. I'm too cautious with those. Initial fire saw his reaver with gatling's lose all his shields(first apoc strongpoint, then first strike from warlord) which resulted in that heading into safety behind building stat. Minor shooting otherwise though my short ranged warlord was taking some beating. Turn 2 things got more interesting. Blind barrages were called for both my warlord and his knights with meltas. We both opted to cover our unit rather than hurt enemy unit. With first strikes by both laser blaster reaver and his warlord my warlord obviously decided some blind barrage is needed! Reaver fired vortex missile at his warlord which was parking next to void shield generator and plasma reactor and snapped one volcano cannon out of action. Bit of waste of critical :(

Big news was though his gatling reaver that after moving I triggered thermal mines and with some sick dice rolling got pair of criticals and devastating hit. Boom. That reaver was in rather sorry state. Then again my fist reaver on left was on trouble as well though he went first fire and surprised opponent by blowing a hole into the battle cannon knights instead of warhounds. I REALLY hate knights after last game! 2 dead with solid hit from volcano cannon. My short range warlord dealt with last one.

Turn 3. I still had one knight unit to deal with. I sent my shooty reaver forward and pulled warhound back. Knights had two choices. Hide behind building but still get plastered by reaver, head forward toward warhound, likely not get in range and get into sight of warlord or move to engage reaver and expose to warlord. He went for the reaver. Shooting I used warhound on right to strip shields from the seriously crippled reaver which triggered fire from my reaver. With his legs being in sorry state I tried to snipe with laser blaster hitting and damaging. He fired somewhere(I think might have been on left where this turn my reaver with fist met his end. Unfortunately it stayed put which actually blocked warhound from moving forward...). Reaver then fired normally and tried to finish and hit twice on aimed shot but poor rolling left it still alive on last leg critical...Drat. Volcano cannon missed. Knights then tore up laser blaster before my warlord fired at the knights not caring about possibility of hitting reaver and killed all but 1 knight. Last volcano cannon missed and maybe I should have fired plasma at full strenght...

Turn 4. By now game was going pretty okay for me I think. His knights were almost out, reaver on right is in seriously sad state, his warhounds on left were in fairly sorry state in reactor/shield status(those things don't repair fast!). I had lost reaver but his reaver was almost out. However here things went haywire. I charged with reaver which was seriously bad idea since I forgot I had ended up with super hot reactor). This tore up the last knight no problem but rolling 9 for reactor overhit resulted in catastrophic melt down which caused huge carnage to my warhound on right and both warlords. Then to make matters worse my short range warlord with minor heat issue lost near full strenght shields right in face of his warlord....Whoops! Needless to say getting like 3 hits to body and then hit by missile strike poor warlord died. At least on right I finished off the reaver but hilariously it spazzed out straight forward hitting my warhound and causing some damage.

With this game was pretty much over. He managed to get reaver into safety so that only my plasma gun barely saw it and got shield up so no point to even roll. Game ended on turn 5.

Crushing defeat. Now I think we might have played turn more actually as there was one turn where I managed to block my short range warlord with warhound(oops) which was taken out by his warlord but this happened before reactor catastrophe but can't figure how turns happened. So maybe there was 1 fairly uneventful turn there I forgot details.

Game was looking pretty good! Was using reactor too much(especially with reaver that's not as robust as warlord with less safety margin and less repair crews. Doubly so for warhound!) and at one point I was rolling lots of 2 heats.

With short range warlord lost 1 turn shooting due to the warhound mistake and probably should have advanced T1. And as mentioned quake cannon pairs badly with 24" weapons. And maybe should have side stepped out of LOS rather than make rush with it. My other warlord and reaver(provided doesn't blow up...) could have dealt with reaver or maybe even try on his warlord if it shows face.

Fun game!

And I can't do airbrushing all that late due to compressor noise level...I basically got the airbrush part done barely in time on wednesday!

Talk about being slow, I apparently decided it is a good idea to bust 4 Warhounds and 3 Reavers on the building table simultaneously, urgh. At least I can make pew pew noises while pondering what to make of them. Especially Warhounds are tricky: I want to fiddle with them somehow, but the buggers are pretty sweet as they come. What to do, oh first world problems

Out of curiosity why not use the laser? 3 S8 with possibility of shieldbane. Nice flexible weapon that can be used to strip shields(especially when they are sporting 3+) and actually punch damage once out of shields where mega bolter and apoc missiles generally struggle. And good punch vs knights as well. I prefer that over gatling tbh.

(oh and lasers are more likely to shoot T1)

since im going for the venator maniple there will ble plenty of lasers on the field from my warhounds plus im using the carpace laser on the reaver incease of flankers.
the gatling is there simply cuz it was either that or melta cannon. the other arm is for the volcano.

That's some lovely painting work, it stands up to the detailed photo.


thanks. like i say, if you cant paint well, atleast paint it neatly. i cant do blending, freehand painting or layering but i can do clean and neat.
it would look better whit some water transfer decals, but as i am going my own way in terms of colour and background, the transfers that comes with the reaver wont fit.

they do indeed and they are a wee bit cheaper then a box of houses.
seeing as i base my AT models for a desert theme and i wanted a "heroic static pose", it would to me look stupid to add an urban building or the foot of a desert mountain for the left leg to rest on, so i selected a knight.

First pack of Warpuppies finally arrived. Dispatched to the wrong Segmentum... how typical. I expected better logistics from the 31st millennium.

(actually a post office snafu--not GW's fault at all)

One loyal Warfido with temporarily blu-tacked guns--nothing you haven't seen on this thread before, but still. Don't know which weapons we'll choose for it yet, so will play a few games before cracking out the glue.



Very nice kit. Didn't like the old Epic minis or the 40K-scale one from Forgeworld, but for some reason I love this new one.

For the opposing rebel Warterrier, I had a crazy plan involving an old robot dinosaur toy from the bits box:



The head turned out to be pretty much the right size:



A bit of trimming, pinning, experimenting and swearing later, I had meself a WarDino. Head plate from a Reaver's knee. (Again, choice of gun not final.)



Deinonychus claws on the feet for extra points. Well, approximately on the feet. It's symbolic, OK?



Unfortunately I only had one of those toys, so I have no idea what I'll perpetrate on the next hapless rebel Warlabrador I get hold of. Hmm... I wonder how big Voltron toys are? WarLions anyone?

I will be putting that funky template on the front of the base and making a mark, it’s the same thing I do with battletech, Make dynamic poses and just make sure my opponent knows the actual facing on the bases.

I thought it was too good to be true whilst building the Warhound kit that there would be enough weapon piping to complete each pair.

I guess my Vulcan Mega Bolters will just have to be pipeless as the kit is purposely short of one of the shorter pairs. Has any one here actually bothered with them if they're magnetised?

Not me. Too fiddly for my taste even if there was enough pipings. I doubt I would notice them mid game anyway and I know my limits as modelers(indeed I have yet to build warlord or reaver without any issues....)

Actually two spare heads, but there are only two of the B20 component, the "bottom" of the head. Some plasticard is sufficient to circumvent this.

I've magnetised the weapons and left the cables on, as it limits the freedom of movement. The laser and plasma guns both draw on the reactor, I imagine the bolter has motors which drive it and therefore need power. That just leaves the flamer, which doesn't need them, but if I can make the spare plasma cables work with them then I will.

Every combo on the models is possible so it doesn't restrict them in terms of which-weapon-goes-where.

Once constructed, the cables are barely visible, so I wouldn't say they are required.

Could make the basis of a scenic base, if the head is buried/squashed chin-deep in the ground? No need for a chin-piece then.

Most definitely. There is no need to add anything if you go that road. Otherwise, it is a rather straightforward manipulation.

With regards to the cables so far I have left them completely out. I was thinking of maybe trying to magnetize them, more for the challenge than anything else, definitely not a must in my opinion (yeah, I'm a bit crazy sometimes )

So my new box of Knights arrived, but my idea for converting a traitor Knight Porphyrion kind of fell flat. Mostly due to me not wanting to risk messing up changing the legs.

As such, it's now a Knight that wandered into the wrong alley and ran afoul some Dark Mechanicum that needed a platform for their DAoT weapons. Now to paint the thing, I guess.

So I might rescale and reprint my building facade template so the windows are smaller. If a Reaver is 25m tall or about 75’ the he should come up to about the 8th window, not the 5th or 6th.

*reposting because of a forum error*

Okay so after I took those pics I actually cut his waist apart and I’m reposing it downward so it’s got more of a windup pose and then tacked on a sentinel chainsaw to count as a chainfist in the style of a Terminator. I originally mocked up his legs as being wider splayed like he was truly in a knockout stance but the leg armor wouldn’t align if you pitch his ankle joints too far.

Thoughts? I’m also considering a Mechanicus heavy flamer as a “plasma cutter fist” to count as a chainfist. I always thought big chainsaws grafted to powerfists looked wonky.

Yeah would be frankly more appropriate as warhound tbh. I presume you were planning to use killa kan for those? You could beef up legs though. But would need to be quite a bit probably. Orks tend to be beefier than imperial titans so that could look bit small as reaver.

btw: Seems gorkanaut is bit less than inch shorter than warlord titan so again wee bit too small I think. Though at least has bulk so better than deff dread as reaver.

edit: found this on another forum for fluff describtion of size.

Mega Gargant 36m tall....
Great Gargant 26m tall...
Slasha Gargant 20m tall..
MekBoy Gargant 16m tall..

Reaver seems to be 25m. Warlord 33, warhound 15. So great gargant would be reaver equilavent in size(though more equilavent to warlord in terms of usage and strength) and slasha gargants would be between reaver and warhound. Maybe dreadnought could work as those? I'll look at evening how killa kan compares with warhound. Gorkanaut could work as great gargant equilavent.

Bulked up I could see mekboy=warhound, slasha=reaver, great gargant=warlord count as if you aren't inventing own rules for them while at it.

One nice thing about tian hereldry compared to space marines is that the titans seem to have a lot more room for individual colour patterns among a legion, which means no two titans even from among canon legions looks alike.

Both sides think they are the "true" Cult Mechanicus / Titan Legions, and the other side are the deluded turncoats who are misusing the symbols. There's no problem with the Horus-centric ones using "loyal" symbology. Those titans have used them for centuries, and the Omnissiah doesn't make mistakes...

All the traitor titans pictured in the AT rulebook and all the Horus heresy books have the Collegia Titanicus roundel and/or the Imperial eagle. Admittedly that's because Forge World don't make a carapace that doesn't have the eagle on it for their 40k Reaver, and likewise for the Warlord's carapace armour panels, but there you go. I used one of each carapace piece for my Warhounds.

Another day, another knight box bought. Now totaling 18...One list alternative I had been considering was running about 100 pts short so 2 knights more...Plus full squadron of 6 with pair of close combat weapons.

I think I'll end up getting 4 more boxes sooner or later for squadron of 3 knights with pair of meltas and 3 knights with pair of battle cannons for heavy fire support squadron. And guess another squadron of twin close combat weapons. Well this is for future. Next purchaces will be warhounds for both legions and later another warlord for Mortis as well.

But knights...Now whopping 18. But you know they have serious weakness. Sure they rip titans apart in close combat no problem but problem is the knights tend to blow up in the process when titan dies! And 6 knights are about price of reaver so while initially the speed how knights tear up titans might seem too good the fact they tend to more or less die in the process makes up for it.

When we played the Knights got into melee alarmingly fast and were good at tarpitting something since titans can't step over the top of them. I do think it'd be a little more realistic if Knights could only target a titan's legs since hitting a Warlord's head seems kinda silly.

Head? We are hitting weapons with those. Easy to take one out and then S7-S9 hits on body. That seems better than hitting head.

Still we have had them get into combat(like here) or been blown apart. I find having volcano cannon equipped titan moving behind front titan is great help. If knights don't come ahead then well good. If they do you drop volcano cannon template over them even if it means risking binking void shield from your titan.

Either way even if you lose reaver to them resulting damage seems to result in knights be out as well. 6 of them costs about reaver's worth so I wouldn't say that bad trade off. After all they aren't quaranteed getting there and reaver has already done something. Warhound could be bad tradeoff. Of course warlord could be good tradeoff. But that's why you have reavers and warhounds(especially inferno+plasma combo is nasty) to ensure knights don't get nilly willy to warlord.

I mean it seems silly that a Knight can hit a Warlord in the head.

It seems like Warhounds really open up listbuilding, I like the model and their role on the battlefield.

True bit silly but it's such an minor issue and doesn't seem to be issue balance wise we aren't fretting over that one. Especially as hitting head doesn't even seem to be that often even used. Generally we are aiming for weapons(easy to take down which has instant effect on efficiency of titan and then starts to cause S7/S9 hits on body), body(due to weapons often ends up damaged so plus modifiers so easy way to cause destruction of titan. Plus if you can get critical 2 it's shields out which is huge) or legs(the criticals there really hurt). Head is generally bit of "meh" place to hit. Head is also the most armoured place! Albeit 1 blip less damage track there but you need to roll 1 higher to cause direct hit so...

James Hewitt had put up a set of rules giving each hit location on the Warlord, Reaver and Warhound their own Scale values, and a rule saying a weapon could only hit something with a Sclae equal to or less than its own Scale + 2 (IIRC). He took it down again; hopefully it'' make a more permanent return.

It never made the rules because there wasn't room to include the scale values on the command terminals without it getting cluttered.

Also, all the depictions of Death's heads titans in the HH black books are from Prospero (where they were still technically Loyalist) or Isstvan 3, when the Heresy began.

Mind you, even that big eye of Horus symbol could be used on early or pre-Heresy units, if you think of it as an honour badge for units directly attached to the 63rd Fleet.

Change weaponry a bit, perhaps add weird stuff like Limited demon boils, Warp weaponry or Voidbreakers, maybe even Vortex blasts as a possibility from Catastrophic Damage table? Imagine striking the beast down and creating an accidental black hole. Whoops.

Daemonic gait, extra speed at the expense of armour? Ability to regenerate a structure point per turn or by hurting others? Teleportation mid-fight? Flamerlike breath weapons? Smash attacks get Rapid from sprouting tentacles? A billowing smoke cloud gives a permanent -1 against shooting? A camouflage glamour hides the thing from sight until very close? A mutation that switches the engine's weapon mid-battle? Shields convert saves to outward blasts? Larger explosions of gore when dying? Creates Difficult Terrain as it moves by twisting natural order in its wake? Astral ammunition goes through cover? Draft up some stratagems to represent daemonic presence? Allow the machines to Push for even more movement or dakka than normal?

A huge update this time.

In the campaign, the imperials did successfully invade the Hellforge of KM179-beta across two battles, albeit with horrific losses.

The first battle was the hot-drop of Atarus axiom maniple (a warlord, a reaver and two warhounds) at some slavers hubs, supported by the orbital bombardment (we used the rules for magma eruptions from the "Last stand at Magma City"), with the goal of securing the area and creating a landing zone by levelling the area to the ground. The latter was quite a success, with all the ordnance flying around, but the securing part didn't go well. Imperials were met head on with Myrmidon maniple of Chaos titans led by a posessed warlord with plasma anihilator and a quake cannon, with another warlord and a reaver in the maniple. Concentrated fire from Atarus warhounds and a reaver stripped Chaos flagman of it's shields, and a precize lance strike crippled heretic's head, but not before the other chaos warlord ripped the brave reaver apart with an arioch powerclaw. Imperials responded by beheading chaos flagman (posessed crew stil somehow successfully ejected even with all the penalties!) and directed all firepower to the second warlord, seriously damaging it and preventing a second brutal charge. Unfortunately it left chaos reaver unattended, and let it sneak upon the Stormlord, imperial flagman warlord. Carring a melta and a fist, the heretic scored three criticals to the Stormlord torso, and the the reactor leak finished it off, causing a magazine detonation, that raised a quater of the area (yay, goal accomplisshed!); Princeps Senoris failed to eject from the resulting nuclear explosion. At that point, all the engines were pretty tightly grouped, so all of them were badly damaged. Imperials quickly finished off the second chaos titan, silencing it and using as a cover, though one warhound was lost to the melta fire from the reaver. Still, the last remaining imperial titan, the second warhound, overcharged the shields and met the heretic face-to-face. Chaos engine fell, literally crashing into victorius imperial titan legs, immobilising it; but still, a victory for the Emperor!

Hmm sunfury and quake cannon. That's bit unusual combo and rather inconvenient as I found out when I made mistake of using that. With one gun with max range of 24" and one gun that suffers penalty shooting within 24" that's never in good firing condition!

Nice to see claws seemed to do job. I'll be trying 2 claw warlord, 2 reavers with fist and 2 warhounds on thursday

Imperials rushed with the repairs, an quickly fixed both warhounds to combat-capable state. However, the battle titans were beyond repair, so a reserve reaver had to be droped on the battlefield to form a venator maniple. Chaos did not bother with maniples, and just patched up both warlords a bit, rolling thesee monsters into battle once more - not even fully repairing them, so chaos titans still spent first round if the second game repairing criticals at the orders.

The second battle was waged at the edge of the landing zone - chaos engines tried breaking trough to the landed ships, with an intention of slaughtering the unloading conventional troops. Atarus reaver stood in their way, braving the incoming fire. With the warhounds flanking the powerclaw bearer, imperials managed to cast it down, burning and crashing. Sadly, the second, posessed warlord was too much to handle - heretic finished off the heroic reaver, and strode to the landing zone, ignoring warhounds that were unable to stop him, even by firing ti the rear armor. Not a desirable outcome, indeed.

As for the rules, we introduced a homerule "systems" for the titans, allowing for custom modifications like motive sub-reactors or advanced aupexes in the legion section of the rulebook. Systems go th the rules block of the terminal, replacing ardex weaponry on the warlord, and are hit at the "special"; also being damaged, repaired and destroyed on a 5+. Techo-heretical devices and effects also go in here, and each system may only be taken once. It turned out quite fun, it had to be admitted.

And, at last, a hobby part. Some unusual maniple is at the assembly... the ork one. Gorkonaught is perfect as a gargant - and is exactly matching the size of a warlord.

Princeps Kolesnik, as he said, did chose the gunz for the sole brutality of the warlord appearance, ignoring unoptimal distance layout. Between it, laser blasters and plasma annihilator, the posessed warlord was a pain to face at middle range and still capable of punching warhound shields while on approach, despite the scout titans going out of direct LoS.

As for me, I like more specialised approach, but AT is great at weapon balance, and it is hard to go really wrong with the loadout; maybe the only ones are all-gatling shield breakers, and even that is more risky, than wrong.

I like generalist approach but what I want is range bands to be similar. If those are waaaay off(volcano cannon arm+vulcan mega bolters? Volcano cannon+claw?) then that's going to be generally trouble. Can't use orders efficiently and in this case either you are not shooting gun or gun is -1 to hit.

Short/medium/long weapons and then among them shield breaking/damage dealers to taste is my rule of thumb

A bit unsure about orders - you mean first fire? It uses a single weapon anyway, so no advantage in having a second barrel. Penalty of -1 is sad indeed, that's the part of a reason I prefer turbo-lasers over laser blasters, but some people just do not care about -1 on a large blast, or choose for other advantages.

Basing on our dozen games, I recommend you arming your warlords with laser blasters and reavers with trubo-lasers and meltas. That way you will be uniform and still able to engage things at distance, should your fists be torn off.
Twin powerclaw warlord would cripple or outright destroy anything in a single round, barring some really unlucky rolls. But, as we played, the Mighty Fist is always the first weapon for Targeted Attacks, so be especially cautious with knights. Theese tiny buggers rip weapons off really fast.

If you have short ranged guns have trouble with first fire(cant' move forward toward range plus of course you will be shooting in combat phase anyway at which point lack of range for rest really sucks!) and advancing to get to range with short guns(especially needed with my medium range brawler of macro blasters, paired blasters and sunfury where without pushing it's 100% impossible to get to range without enemy helping and even with push if opponent wants to play sit back and shoot you will not reach them period) as that would be missing shooting long range gun then. Most extreme with volcano cannon+vulcan+power klaw where you most definitely WANT to advance T1 so having long range gun is really bad.

I would not say it's bad, more like sub-optimal. Volcano cannon is a demanding weapon, that does indeed require appropriate loadout to give best results; but having one more around is never a bad thing, even if it is to give some long-range punch to a close combat engine. It can be done with better efficiency, sure, but that's not always needed.
Oh, and when you check in for the ammo, sunfury and volcano cannon have an advantage of an unlimited ammunition, one more pro to consider.

Well done. If you allow some suggestions: the back part of body looks a bit plain, some pipes/cables or even simple plates slapped upon it would make the gun look more alive. You could use a FW reaver gatling boy as an example - it has some service "hatches", ports and other mecanically-looking bits. Just a little more details at this stage would make a model look really nice.
I myself have tried making carapace guns for the warlord this way, after failing to find sutable variants in the net, except for an awesome laser blaster. At first I made some basic looking guns, and they were ok, but after reprinting with more details they are much better. Now all that is left are the arm macroblaster and the powerclaw.

Oh I know it’s basic but I don’t have a printer in my building and I submit my files one per week like the public even though I’m staff. Adding extra detail means more chances for things to get “hairy” or “squiggly” around overhangs. I have tons of plastic and wires to just glue on, I had meant to do that on the back of my plasma cannons but I went ahead and primed them along with everything else one day.

I meant for the stuff I’ve printed to be proxies till the really detailed weapons are released but that’s either far away or (given FW’s recent US prices) going to be stupidly expensive.

I could totally see them making a plastic weapon sprue with one plasma, quake, and Gatling cannon each, then a pair of megabolters, laserblasters, and gatlingblasters for like $50-$75 on top of a $110 Warlord. If FW makes them out of resin I could see a plasma or Gatling cannon costing $15-$25 each. I would totally prefer to have the detailed weapons but I have four Warlords...


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh and your megabolter looks way better than mine. My last file I sent to the printer had an adapted carapace weapon swivel base so my guns won’t look like they’re just sitting on top of the armor piece with the magnet. They should be done this week so I can submit a file with my quake cannons, I hope they turn out okay.

Well, it's a basic warhound megabolter, covered by an armor plate from top and sides. Mounts are the same for all weapons, and I basically ripped it from that awesome laser blaster.

Oh, and right now my Warlord volcano cannon just detonated. That was a nice hab block there, also.

I started messing with Folk Art color shifting paints and it’s really gluey, it has the consistency of something like white glue or molasses. I tried thinning it with matte medium, water, and glaze medium to varying degrees of failure. I’ve got a few more colors being delivered and I’ve either got old stock or this stuff doesn’t have the right body for miniatures.

Started weathering titans and ran into problem. Was trying to follow the guide on warhammer tv. It uses rhinox hide for which then highlight colour used to draw line under it. Problem. On black armour rhinox hide is not visible...

Any other colours that could be used? Eshin grey with silver lines? Or silver and then use eshin grey to do the lines? Something else?

Depends, do you want the armor to look like it's chipping to metal or another layer of paint underneath? I used to use dark metals followed up by a lighter metal sparingly on orks.

You could go leadbelcher and then highlight with a light gray.

Sherry that isn't a colourscheme I'd ever think of and I really like it! Love your work on them, the glow on the energy weapons looks great and the chipped paint on the armour has come off great.

Hope you don't mind (and will take down at your request) but I was tempted as you'd spent time putting a background in; and did a little edit adjustment. Mostly just tweaking the contrast and curves a little, giving it a little of a straighten and did some sharpening to try and show them off better.

Of course I won't mind, glad someone liked them enough to do so. The pictures were a bit grainy as first my phone camera couldn't focus on the whole miniature for gak and then my brother's system camera was optimized for photographing fungi details from one cm away in daylight, but what can one do. Buy a proper thing one day, it seems

1mm. 3mm would be huge. 2 of them together would extend weapons way too much for my taste and they are strong enough to hold anyway.

Sherrypie these warhounds are gorgeous, very very nice results

With regards to magnets I used 3x1mm magnets for the weapons and 4x1mm for the legs - torso joint. For the head I used a 3x1mm magnet on the torso (drilled a 1mm deep hole) and a 2mm diameter steel ball in the head itself (in direct contact with the magnet).

And catching up on the previous posts I love all the titans and knights I see. The quality is intimidating.

If not mistaken, these are all from the original Space Marine Epic Imperial Guard box: rough riders, ogryn trooper, imperial commissar, IG officer, assault troop with jump pack, robot, IG bikers.

I'm looking for buying from KR multicase. One AT package claims 2 warlords, 4 reavers, 15 knights, templates and cards. They also have also another foam that claims 4 warhounds. That is enough for most of my needs(not all though. Would need double that basically with spare knights but doubtful I ever carry both my legions in force. What happens when I get 3rd warlord though...)

Thanks y'all, glad you like the Hounds

The fellas on their bases are indeed all 100 % old GW, my brother had a pile gathering dust somewhere and I gave them a new purpose in life. Since they are in scale with the new titans, they fit rather nicely in there to make the engines feel properly huge.

Their scheme is chosen in accordance with my Death Guard force, auxilia fodder who use green hazmat rubber coats (very common raincoats in the Finnish army), as a joke on their quality gear.

My local GW Store has the manager's own 40k size Warlord titan with carapace laser blasters stands proud.
The Adeptus Titanicus Warlord with the rocket launchers is nice, but I wanted blasters!

Now I feel kinda silly, since I modified, printed, magentized and painted my own blasters. I finished a week before GW announced the official version.
However, I waited to take nicer pictures, since I was working on a bunch of Lucius pattern warhounds to keep my plastic Mars pattern Warhounds company.

Here is my AT Warlord , just a few days before his unplanned buddy Warlord with crisp, high quality blasters will show up in a cardbord box, some assembly required. ;-]

The ork maniple is ready to go, made of one gargant (hardpoints are modular and can be changed, alll of them), two stompas with magnetized arms, and one old epic-scale gargant, that fit just nice as a stompa. The do require a bit more painting, but only an adjustment, and the test is scheduled this week, in two flavors: ether as a proxy imperials, or with our own homeruled terminals, featuring four main and one secondary weapon system per one orky titan, because you can never have enough dakka. The SPECIAL location was quite handy at that, almost as if GW intended to have titans with more locations.


Upd: adding a little, may I say, teaser off the next part of the AT project.

For my Lucius Pattern Warhounds, I went with bikers, attack bikes and a land speeder as base deco.
My reasoning is that these marines might be nimble enough to avoid being stomped into the ground by the scout titans. I think they came out rather nice.

I modified the 3D models to suit my needs, with regards to less wasted material and holes sized as close as I could manage (print size variation) to accept magnets.
This whole endeavor took much more time than the plastic Warhounds, which built very easily - compared to Reaver and Warhound.
For me this was a feasibility challenge and skill class, even assuming resin and printers are free, I'd not recommend this as a serious alternative to the original models.
If I'd do it over, I'd make sure to split the model into more parts for convenient lack of masking for airbrushing.

However, my cabinet of shame pile of potential still has a lot of models in need of attention, so I won't make more of these guys.
I have 3 more AT knights to do and I do expect 4 AT Cerastus knights to escort the Warlord with the new weapon sprue to my door.

I added individual pictures like these below for all my AT models to my gallery.

I'm using a cheap DLP printer, the Anycubic Photon. It uses a 5.5" mobile phone display to mask it's UV lamp. That display has a resolution of 2560*1440 pixels.
My layer height is the default for that printer, which is 0.05mm.

I clipped the supports before curing the prints, then stuck them on doublesided sticky tape previously used for pre-painting base deco bits.
Then I hit them with black primer, a white zenital highlight, two shades of yellow and added a bit of chrome and brass before applying black semi-transparent oil shade.

All of these models - the second speeder aside - found a spot on the four Warhound bases. =]

So this is sort of a fluff question, but pertains directly to how I'm approaching my AT stuff from a building and painting perspective, so I'll ask it here.

Do individual titans have permanent weapon loadouts, or do they alter according to resources/mission requirements? So is it the chassis that identifies the titan, or would it only be considered that individual if it was rocking a certain configuration?


[AT] Report on your AT Projects! @ 2018/11/29 23:38:10


Post by: Stephanius


in the fluff titans do get completely rebuilt when they get downed. That means of course that certainly a damaged or destroyed weapon would be replaced.

From there it is a very small step to assume that the titans would grab the right loadout for the mission. Maybe there are fluff examples of that as well.

Princeps grow with their titans and I should think they'd want to keep the same loadouts as those are now their limbs. I don't know of any story where they refit a titan with different weapons.

There is some background quotes of advice for princeps battlegroups "select your weaponry appropriate to the mission." Since you get whatever titans you are assigned, this suggests it is supposed to be possible to swap out weapons on each engine.

You know that's bloody good point. I was thinking not bothering like knights but indeed with lancers the variants seems to be heading for resin upgrades.

Well I have 4 more coming and some lancers are always going to be needed if for nothing else than the +1 to save. And the simple fact is they are the most flexible and all around. Castigator is hyper super duper specialized so IMO should rather be free weapons and the acheron while not as bad as castigator is still bit more specialized so I think it's not big deal that 2 knights per banner is fixed as lancer.

Good catch. Think I'll magnetize the remaining 2 knights per banner

It is tempting and could be done from parts 14 & 16( Torso sides. ). Whether its worth doing would depend on the price of an upgrade sprue...it may be better to buy the variants and be done with it.

Must say, the head options for the Cerastus are really good. Can't wait to paint them.

The single-sprue format used so far seems to suggest that the Knights are too small a unit to have upgrades. But an upgrade sprue is certainly a possibility.

Still on the discussion of Knights, I wonder if they will do a value pack for them too? Why, they could call it "Adeptus Titanicus: Knight Banner"!

I've been giving this one a lot of thought tonight as there is a lot of merit in what you say. And yet there is a dilema; if we glue these chaps together and they do go with upgrade-only...then we have to purchase more knights ontop of the upgrade sprue. But if they dont, and its just variants...then we are wasting our magnets.

I think if they intended to go down that path, wouldn't they just have the bodys on one sprue and weapons'n'heads on a second? They've done that for the Titans so I fail to see why they couldn't do it here for a far smaller and cheaper product.

Whichever path they take with the Cerastus( personally, I hope its both ), the weapon options do exist on the terminals so all should be revealled soon.

Others got full plastic sprue with variant heads and armour plates. We are looking at resin parts though. Likely 4 pieces per upgrade sprue. Enough to change 1 box into variants.

And for why? Money. You talk about doubling expensive plastic mould count. Reducing sprue count is very good profit wise.

I've sent an email to GW basically asking them "to magnetize or not to magnetize?". The designers were forthcoming about the Titans being magnetized so I don't see why they can't be upfront about the Knights too.

If they tell me anything significant then I'll share it in the news & rumours thread.

If you're worried about it, then magnetise; it's more work, but if there are no other weapon parts produced, then you can still use them anyway. Personally, I'm not going to bother. I'll pick up a couple of Lancers soon, and if parts to make Acherons and Castigators appear later, I'll make some of those too.

Knights are just cheap enough that you can go without magnets if you want; esp as you're not expected to field legions of them at once and the weapon variety is fairly tight as it is anyway. Of course in time this could change; but I figure that GW will release more knight body variations to account for different roles and weapon focuses rather than only a couple and then give them weapon upgrades for every possibility.

The reply from GW was at least light-hearted, but basically they cannot provide any details at this time as the design team is "behind closed doors" blablabla...

As part of the feed back( to their reply ) I've positioned it where I feel I cannot assemble my knights which are practically useless until GW announces something - how long do we have to wait until we can use the goods we have purchased? Clearly I'm milking it just to get a response out of them, but hey - if it works?

The obvious solution is to just assemble and field the body parts for now. Afterall, its not an issue we must take to the UN or Nato, is it?

if there is a large amount of metalics and you want to keep the metallic shine then you need to do one layer of gloss clear and 1 layer of satin clear. any other clear then gloss as first spray will remove all metallic shine from metallic paints.
however as just gloss will make it extremly shiny, you use the satin to remove that shine but it keeps the natural shine of the paint underneath the gloss layer.
if you have more regular colours then metallics, then go for just satin. satin is a few levels less shiney then gloss but its not in the realms of matt so it wont kill the natural shine of non metallic paint.

matt sprays destroys any paint job, as the natural shine of the colour is completely removed(in some situations a grey layer over the colours is the result) and i simply dont understand why they exist.

Magnetizing a Warhound and Cerastus.

The Cerastus has seemless ports either side of the torso for 5*1mm magnets. This suggests that they could receive upgrade weapons, but it also pushes the shoulders out to a point where it seems you need to leave the carapace as unglued. You then remove it before swapping arms, which isn't a problem because the carapace slots in well enough to turn the model upside down and it will stay on.

Alternatively small magnet to weapon and then the upper piece of arm(which reminds me forgot to do that). Could be the weapons comes with just the weapon part, not the shoulder.

Because the shine destroys the illusion of scale. A model which has shine is very obviously a model because the shine on the model is never correct for the object that the model represents (unless the size difference between them is fairly small)

This is why NMM is a thing - it creates what appears to be a shine which is correctly scaled to the model..

The grey layer is misapplied varnish and can be fixed with a coat of gloss followed by a correctly applied coat of matte.

Alternatively small magnet to weapon and then the upper piece of arm(which reminds me forgot to do that). Could be the weapons comes with just the weapon part, not the shoulder.


That is definitely an option although the magnets and then visible, but I suppose you could paint over them anyway.

I paint over them automatically anyway as I apply them pre-painting. Won't go taping over them or anything! Especially as that hides them anyway ;-)

I don't know if I'd bother magnetising knights... except that I wish you could do something with the stubber/meltas. Instead I think I'll put meltas on my Errants but just not worry about it if I don't fancy using them.

I've got 6 knights from the GME box. Seems like a plan to get three more so I can run a banner of paladins, wardens and errants. Is that what most people do, or are mixed banners a good idea?

So today my Titan Battlegroup arrived. Sure, it will be months before I even start on my Warlord, but it's nice to already have it at home.

Edit: in fact, if I'm lucky that weapon sprue will be released by the time I'm busy building it.

Thinking about making another plasticard building( what can I say, they are just cuboids ) and then maybe adding minor detail before painting...

Considering the heratige of Titanicus and "epic"(whisper!), has anyone produced any papercraft templates for buildings? If not I might have a crack at that myself...

I use the Hawk Wargames pdf buildings and print them on 8.5x11 paper then laminated them for AT. I also got Styrofoam blocks from Walmart and printed/laminated a building facade template in Publisher. This is an old pic as I didn't like the scale, a 75' Reaver should be as tall or taller than the 8th story but I haven't finished redoing them. I put two blocks in an L shape so it's not all just squares and rectangles.

That Reaver looks like hes going to scale the Empire State Building and NOT get shot down by Thunderhawks...

Yes, those buildings are a bit tall. I might have a crack at making my own using Gimp.

Basing evening, it seems. At least the Cerastuses are ready for painting, this time with some dead too.

Dunno. 8 floors. Bit taller in scale than our world 8 floor building would be but it's 40k so extra tall floors aren't that odd idea.

Good size for me

The building isn't too tall, it's the windows that aren't to scale, I just eyeballed it in Publisher when I printed it. I wanted buildings that cover a Warlord but the Reaver should come up to at least the 8th floor. I have the new facades printed I just have to glue them but I'm discovering that gluing laminated paper to styrofoam is way more challenging than I thought. Superglue will detach from the foam and PVA glue hasn't dried in weeks, it's still liquid in the middle.

You should come hang out in Bolter and Chainsword's AT section, it's pretty active and you'd fit in. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/forum/293-adeptus-titanicus-the-horus-heresy/

Well, I probably won't have anyone to play against other than my gf using her knights and armigers as proxies, but I ordered the titan battlegroup with the ebay coupon yesterday. If anyone ever visits Sanibel/Captiva or Naples, hit me up and we'll get a game in.

Finished magnetizing my second Lancer. This time I'm going to leave part "19"( shoulder pads ) off the carapace to allow easy access to the arms. To be fair It gives him a unique look alongside the other Lancer.

You talking about the shoulder pad extensions? Why are those separate in the first place.
