What's a proper Badab Titan?

There was only 1 Titan Legion in the Badab War, Legio Crucius aka the Legion SL and I use.

From the warhammer wiki...
The Legio Crucius (Warmongers) is a Loyalist Titan Legion of the Collegia Titanica, one of the military arms of the Adeptus Mechanicus. There is very little information in Imperial records about this Titan Legion, though it is known to have been founded before the Horus Heresy, either during the Age of Strife or the Great Crusade. This Titan Legion has its great Perceptory and base of operations at Ryza, a major Forge World within the Segmentum Ultima.

WM Warlord is 'Hell's Daughter'. Hell's Daughter - A Warlord-class Titan commanded by High Princeps Cadmon Krom during the final Loyalist assault on Badab Primaris during the Badab War.

Mine is modeled after: Astramos Mortis Æternem - A Reaver-class Titan of the Legio Crucius which took part in the Badab War.

For those minds whom require more .. http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Legio_Crucius

Nuff Said...

Ah, didn't know any of that.

No, my titans are more targeted towards supporting my AdMech than my marines. I have two knights that I'm planning on basing to go with my marines but those are already painted, so there's nothing I can do there.

Perhaps if I find another knight I just have to own, I'll do it in proper Legio Crucius colors... but if it's a loyalist legion... it probably wouldn't have fought on the side of the rebels anyway.

Titan looks great SL! Congrats on finishing it off - and so quickly as well. Look forward to hearing about how it does in battle later at adepticon.

Thanks Egg. I didn't think it went very fast. (As I look at the 70 tactical WE Inf I need to do next. ) I'll be happy to take out a single Eldar titan. Or at least give as good as I get. That and making sure my leader survives. I'll get pictures and if possible a battle report.

Proper Titan colors...
This works well for me... "This Titan Legion has its great Perceptory and base of operations at Ryza," and as my eventual Ad Mech army will be Ryza, it'll come full circle.

It's a Titan vs Titan game. Otherwise I wouldn't. Besides they are Eldar. Not like they are ..Human!

Wow! That's a lot of big projects! I remember showing up around the Valkyrie and being amazed at the size of these things.

Holy crap SL... you've done a TON of amazing work this year!

Thanks guys.

Did a quick paint up of some Imperial cargo containers. Painted them to match the rusted look of all my other terrain. I'll Get some Pics when the weather gets above 10 degrees. Currently it's 2 with windchill at -18.

From now till Adepticon I'll be only building and Painting World Eaters. On the list is 90+ inf ( HQ's included),10 Tartaros Terminators, 3 Jetbikes, 2 Contemptor Dreads, 1 Siege Dread, 2 Landspeeder Javelins, 2 Proteus Land Raiders ( I'll repaint the 2 AL ones I started ), 1 LR Spartan, 1 HH Drop Anvillius Drop pod.

11 weekends ( since I don't get much done during the week.). This is pretty much a fluff WE list.. Lots of Chainaxe wielding Marines who remained Loyal to the Emperor. So no Kharn or Angron
All for my buddy free of charge. ( cause he's a nice guy and a real life Marine). I have about the same no. of figures lined up to supplement my Alpha Legion HH army. That can wait. Deadline approaching.

I'll probably Start a new Blog. Here's hoping for Warmer weather. Like in the 40's. Heat wave!

Would like to see you really spend some time on the WEs... they're a really interesting army and should be fun to paint. Lot's of gore!

God damn you got alot done in 2016!

Love the scale of of the Titan, by the way. Very cool.

EDC

Wow. Just wow. The amount you've painted last year is borderline ridiculous. I love that interceptor. Wears the lamenters colors very well.

Unlikely. It'll be table top. I have been piled on at work and my free time even on weekends are minimal at best. I have a color theme and work process so I'm hoping I can get through with time to so some special details. I'm still waiting for the majority of heavy Vehicles. Still lots of inf to build fist so not panicking.

Thanks good Dr. I'm glad I went with the Reaver. It also just fits in my Hobby shelves.

Thanks, It is a lot but usually I do the Adepticon Team tourney displays, so that's why the other years past is noticeably less. Since we don't play in that anymore I get more of my stuff ( and my buds) done.

Looking amazing, I especially like the lamenter craters, they vaguely resemble quiche.

Amazing and inspirational work over the year, all looking very pretty, but have to say the titan steals the show, that is a truly stunning piece of art bud.

Jings crivens! That's an impressive amount of work for the year! Kudos to you Solar_Lion

Thanks. I am pretty happy with the result. I didn't do any of the interior as I wanted less moving and falling off parts. I'll have these pieces available for other projects. Here's to scoring at least a Titan kill in the Apoc Titanicus battle at Adepticon.

Thanks Elnibbus, 109 figures counting...1 Titan , 6 Imperial Knights, 5 Dreads and 16 pieces of terrain. Yet I have still a lot to do in 2017.

As I mentioned.. World Eaters.. for a buddy of mine, I have adjusted from my original plan. More Inf, less other fillers. So...

1. Over 90 regular Marines, Between 25 and 35 chainaxe equipped, A couple of squads of Heavy's Most likely ML and LC, 20 or so odd Special weapon marines. Probably volkite , plasma and meltas. What's left will be regular bolters marines.
2. 10 Termies. Mostly CC. 4 out of 10 will be LC, 1 reaper cannon. Chainfists and Powerfists.
3. 2 Dreads (I have decided to wait on the siege Dread ) One claw and Melta/ or AC. One Relic with undetermined load out.
4. Transports. 2 LR Proteus, 1 Spartan LR, and one Anvillus Drop pod
5. Fast attack. 3 Jet bikes, unknown load out, 1 LS Javelin unknown load out.
6. HQ's at least 3 ( one terminator) 2 Apoths.

Then the plan is terrain. I have a mess of 'Death Ray Designs' Space Marine MDF to assemble and Paint.
I also have some Warasenal MDF terrain to finish. This should go nicely together.
An additional Bastion to finish... and who knows what I'll pick up at Adepticon.

Work on my Alpha legion. Pretty much identical to the WE army above.

Then finish out the year with a totally different army. Year end Surprise.

Mark, get set.. go...

Great job on the titan.

Smashing showing for the year also. A lot of armour there.

Sounds an ambitious plan for the year, Solar - where do you begin?

Sounds like 2017 is gonna be a great year for this plog. Looking forward to seeing some World Eaters stuff.

EDC

Love your work in 2016. Good luck with 2017. Keep them pictures coming!

This will be a Loyalist army of WE's that were betrayed. So no Angron or Kharn. Not sure how effective it'll be but I think it's well rounded and still fluffy.

I've started the WE Inf build. Trying to determine what is the best use of the inf figures I have. With the WE rules the normal Inf Marines gets access to a free Chainaxe in addition to his traditional Bolter and Bolt pistol. So I'm assuming that this has no disadvantage to take. It'll add a 2nd CC weapon giving an additional attack. Most likely this will be the load out of the majority of my squads. I'll probably start with filling out the special weapon squads just to get them filled out and complete. I'll be doing a Melta, plasma and Volkite squad. Not sure if I'll go above 5 per squad at first. I'm also planning a Heavy ML squad and either a Las-cannon or HB squad. The rest will end up being blobs of Chainaxe/ Bolters. In 30K you can wield larger squads ( 20 or 30? ) of tacticals so these will be the main units in the army. These will be delivered to the battlefield in the 2 Proteus land Raiders (10?) and Spartan LandRaider (30?)

The 10 Tarturos terminators are built. mostly all CC with the exception of one with a Reaper AC, They will be in the Anvillius Drop pod.

1 Dread already built. Need to magnetize the one arm for the melta or Assualt cannon. The Other dread hasn't arrived.. I'm splurging for the WE FW dread.

I haven't figured out what load out the Jet bikes or the LS will be .. ( or what load out I bought) they still are in their respective packages.

I still need to purchase the apoths.

The question will be can I get this done before Adepticon.. It's looking questionable.


Thanks EDC and Cleatus. I like to get to it, but this darn making a living is so time consuming!

I have about the same numbers of Units designated for my Alpha legion. Though it will also include a Scarian ( needing some more work ) a Siege dread, boarding Marines and some units of other chapters squads ( Ultra's, Salamanders, and Emperor's children) that I get to use as being infiltrators.

Sounds like a good plan there SL! I look forward to seeing these World Eaters!

Thanks JATW, Time will be the barrier to getting this done in time.
Build continues.


Bikes done, LS done, siege and regular Dread done, 5 man Melta, 5 man Volkite, 5 man ML done. Termies Done.I
10 tacs with chainswords done. At least 30 left to go, maybe 40. this build is the most difficult as I have to kitbash every figure.

Still waiting on my LR's and Drop pod. Found a regular Pod I can use if I get through the rest.

That's a lot of building done, Solar.

I'm still deciding where to begin on my HH stuff. I think I'm settled on Ultramarines, with a copy of BOP and BAC for basic infantry, along with a few FW bits I couldn't resist.

Starting point may have to be the limited release Ultramarine with Plaques on a Stick...

Ultra's have some very good units and rules. Good choice. And you can play them both in 40k and 30k. Very universal. If you need anything let me know . I'll probably have some spare stuff after the builds. Just ordered another 180$ worth of FW stuff to add to the colection. Namely weapon sets and guns; Lots of guns.

The World Eaters Army is a gift for a friend of mine. He has recently joined Dakka as ' Chaplaingunther' Please ping him and make him feel welcome. He is a true Marines Marine ( in real life). Thanks for your service buddy. Hope you like the Army so far.

Only managed to get an additional 5 chainaxe guys put together. Not much progress till the FW delivery arrives.

The weekend only saw some more inf. added. 5 more Chainaxe Marines built. up to 20 now. Kinda at a build stand still to my FW stuff arrives.

No real update. Finished the WE for a ChaplainGunther. You can see the final pics on my WE page. There is still some small stuff to do ( like fixing smudges..Sigh), but essentially just waiting for the new GW hard carrying case to arrive, pack and put in the pile to take to AC.

I'll be bringing my Lamenters as WM and I are playing in a 2 man tourney on Friday. I'll have to put some time getting a list together. Need to get up to speed on the latest formations.

I'll be taking losts of pics of armies, games and our Group the Wardens at Adepticon. Also of our internal game ' Knight fight' . Wardens fighting Wardens on Saturday night. If your intrested in the rules check out the ' Knight Fight' blog. See you all after Adepticon.

Only 7 day till departure....
