I like the assy biotitans for nids. They are a pain to build though even the bio titan ones.

They look awful Panda. And their rules are awful. And they should feel bad. Sonic Lancing Revanants are the best looking of the FW Titans to me. But I like dainty things, so, yeah.

When will this project of yours be complete? LVO is coming fast.

You and I definitely have different tastes. This project is likely to get the back burner to finish painting my army.

Fun thing about center of gravity is that if you stack them on top each other from two different objects and have no drift in the x or y direction of the grid you will maintain cg!

Hence get the legs right and the hip won't mess with it as it adds a center force and the torso just needs to be a center force as well and you are done.

Dr H wrote:Nice pose on the legs. Look good where they are.

Thanks Dr!


So I had a small set back. In testing the standing of the titan I accidently got a metal washer stuck in the torso. Then another magnet. Thus I closed off the plug in the warhound. Well a saw later and drill I glued a metal washer into the hips to be flush and thus will still have the two join. Maybe even easier to separate! But you know trying to make the best of a mistake. No photos as glue is drying

There is going to be an immediate stop work on the titans. The forge world is being invaded and must deploy the skitarii ranks.

The dominuses are assembling for planetary defenses.

This will now become painting.

The turkey is gone? I guess i can return to here...

Wip of the hqs i am working on. Got the blues and whites going as well as the metals. Plenty to do.



Cheers for thr visit. Keep dakka.

Please note the titans are on hold until my army for lvo is good to go.

Still admech, so semi-Titan related, right?

For me they are the survivors of gryphonicus and make the current titans in this thread

More work done on the HQs.

Trying to finalize my list to decide what I am painting.



Thanks for the visit.

Work continues. Up next is mech symbols and some dirtying up to do. Of you guys know how to use weathering pigments to make mud and stuff do share.

Symbols, weapon glows, and basing/weathering pigments left.

Those look awesome!! I' like the color scheme. This admech army is impressive good sir.

Good progress on the little mechanical chaps.

Can't help you with the pigments, I've not used them.

Color scheme looks great!

Cheers, I am sucker for the cliche red blue and white colors.

Its ok, I usually cant help myself... luckily i am fantastic at ruining things! pics to show.

Master Azalle wrote:Color scheme looks great!

Cheers! you know how to make a panda blush.

Progress must continue for fear of being a potato. Well.. ok... wrong fear, but you hey you get me. I want this to be done for LVO. so basing couldn't be done due to the lack of pebbles to use on my bases.... But for now they are mostly color'd


Some strange artsy shot i made on a whim..

These are the current leaders of the 17th Delta 32nd Maniple.
They are left to right: Mr Clamps (Mr C.); Gramps; Carl; and Mr. Handy...

This is my 40k Geek Squad.

And some shots of the 1 guy based...






Cheers for stopping by! and commenting. More to come.

Love how you have got them feeling cold. Gives an edge to the mech side of things.

Thanks cam. I need to redo the mud work because the varnish went strange on me, and a second coat didnt fix it. Oh well. Jusr another excuse for another attempt.

Beautiful

Good looking stuff Panda. The First Regiment of Volra would be proud.

ApaceKittens wrote:Beautiful

Awe thank you beautiful.

40kFSU wrote:Good looking stuff Panda. The First Regiment of Volra would be proud.

Oh man vlorians. For got all about them.

More progress. Redid the mud effect and started basing.




Cheers all. Stsy around

Here we are. Ready to be put on the table without too much shame.. like maybe 10 shame points.



Also if anyone photoshops these to look like the Beatles walking across that famous street, I will be forever impressed and you will win the internet.





Cheers for the visit, up next is the infiltrators.

Love the use of the Tempestus Scions power fist (at least I think that's what it is). What was wrong with the mud effect on it before? I rather liked it. It looked like some form of caustic mud that was bleaching the robes out!
They look fantastic though, the blue is very unusual but really gives them a cold vibe as Camkierhi mentioned. I'd be pretty pleased to see them opposite on the tabletop.

That is the correct power fist bit! I loved the fist and simply had to find a way to use it.

The main issue with the mud effect is that it was caused by the varnish going wrong. I couldn't consistently repeat the process for an entire army. I need a method that yields something colorful, and repeatable. I did like the really pale white tan of the dried out look of it.

I am curious why people think the blue is unusual. I am wondering if i am color blind or something...

If I ever find myself across the pond again, I would be happy to play you.

Next up on the choppin block. Plasma.

What do you think about those painting handles?

They hold bases from 25mm to 40mm, but are really nice and for the price a good buy.

Continuing onwards.

Ha, yes! Nailed it!
Ah, the need for consistency makes a lot of sense. I liked it too, shame really. The blue is unusual because it is admech, who are almost always done in shades of red or orange.

Good progress, Panda.

I'm really liking the orange plasma glow. Keep up the good work!

Panda, if I buy a Warhound, will you build and paint it? I will either pay you, or buy appropriate level of models in exchange.

Thank you dr! Hopeto show you all more.

I too am a fan of the orange. Thank you kitten. I also got a new kitten in the house to hangout with and knock my stuff over.

I always take commision work. I would happily take on such a project. Pricing is subject to work load desired.



Anyways...

Hello dakka people who visit this thread. Good news i went to LVO. It was mega fun and i recommend more come to it. The ademch army did really well for me. I just wish i practiced more games so i knew what genesteeler cult and blood angels did.

I am going to be attending more GTs with this army and more. Photos will come tonight.

We left off on the war hound and should finish it tonight.

Also picked up some custodes, and space marine dreadnaughts, and 3 forge world knights. I will add the knights to this blog...maybe the other models as well.

No photos for now. Thanks for visiting.

Good to hear from you. Look forward to pics.

Cheers cam. Here is where we stand fellow dakkamites

Warhound hull is completed...

Magnetizing the arms is something i am still trying to figure out how to complete. Also totally screw doing all the hydraulics on the warhound. So many...so many parts... egad.

This guy accidentally happened

He uh. is uh... hot stuff

Some admech WIPS....







Some LVO Match shots! Army did pretty damn well for me






How we got decide what we are doing next on this thread... there is about a dozen projects to choose from.
2 more warhounds, 2 more reavers, 2 more castellan knights...

We can break it up with some painting
*calculating painting backlog.exe crashed*

I can paint some titans or some Levithan or a dedredo... oh we can start custodes or necrons.

Dakka you choose...though i am not the best contributor any more... i try.

Something is always better than nothing. Good to see you still going.

Good table shots too.

I find that when I'm stuck for what to do next, roll a die. Then, when it inevitably chooses something you don't want to do roll it again until it chooses something that grips you.
It does help with the choice paralysis. Once you get going the creative juices should get flowing.
