Curious paneling there, Samus. Are the back vents turned sideways or just covered?
Small amounts of snow could look nice, as well as icicles near the heat exhausts where the ice melts and freezes again.

The Ashen Gods have two new engines to their ranks, as the 14th and 15th children charge forth from the painting station where they've languished for the last two years.
Flammae Aeternae, Eternal Flames, brings the heat with some casual OSL-tests. I debated adding a plume of cotton smoke to the burnt out bunker, but as of yet couldn't get it looking right.
Quies Interitus, Tranquility of Desolation, strides majestically to the ranks of other general purpose plasma + bolter 'Hounds. Never too many of those in a force.

The back of the titan is very boxy as its just plasticard bulking out the missing pieces. On your recommendation I shall administer the valhallan blizzard treatment.
Your new warpups look real mean!

Ok so finally rounding out the space vietnam terrain, still trying to figure out a good paint for the lazy forger huts/village stuff but I took some shots to show likely placement. The original plan was to keep it all loose so I could pull it if titans stomed on it, but I don't think it's going to work so new plan is to leave enough room for 40-50mm bases to at least use cobblestone roads.
Spoiler:
Also added a dock and some other stuff to a dessert oasis. Had my buddy print up a jungle boat file I found on thingiverse and I added some of malika's little dudes to it. Also had my buddy print the new bits blitz shrine files, glued on to the top of the ship behind the smoke stack. They turned out sharp af. The files are free on cults3d https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/smallscale-shrines
The bases for the three titans are done and I'm really happy with the result. The Reaver and Nemesis still need a lot more more work but if I magnetized just the arm weapons on the Nemesis, then the trio would be at least functional for gaming.
One big hurdle I need to over come first is magnitizing the waist for the Nemesis, which would make it easier to store. It would be nice to give it some posability as well...
I fancy a House Devine knight force. It would be nice if a Knight bundle appears tomorrow but my gut instinct tells me is going to be a "gigantic" disappointment.

Really hoping if it is knight related it's corrupted knights in some form.

Do you play 30k? It'd be a lot cooler if you did.

Nice to see DW's popping up. Sadly, it would seem I won't have the time to make any Dire Wolf plans of my own before December's megabattle. Maybe next year

So, going back to the idea of buildings that are hostiles themselves( basically simplified, stationary titans ), I can't help but think of an old ZX Spectrum game called Rampage...
...and getting sooooooo many crazy ideas!
1) 4 players, 4 titans. Each one armed with dual melee-focused weapons such as powerclaws, chainfists, ursus claws.
2) Grab that annoying knight(!) then throw it across the cityscape and into a building or even at another titan. Scatter dice?
3) Using carapace weapons to fire at a building another titan is close to, maybe in the hope of causing it to collapse early and inflict damage on your bitter rival?
4) Titan hunter infantry randomly appears to throw more firepower at the titans?
5) Random events? One player unlucky enough to be on the receiving end of an airstrike?
6) Last titan standing or destruction percentage? Both?
7) A limited time to flatten the city before a knight defence force arrives?
8) Battle scars? There is no tolerance for avoiding a scrap with your rivals! You miss out on points for not having weathered some damage...
9) A warhound player pulling down a building with it's ursus claws...could appeal to certain players of a certain legio. Just saying.
10) Wouldn't this be ****ing mental with four Iconoclaust titans? GW, please. You're too kind; a copy of Cursed City is commission enough.

The annual AT mega-battle approaches, and as usual, I always have to make something new for it. So how about those Warmasters chilling in the grey mountains, then?
Excidium Ultimum (Ultimate Ruin), stride forth!
Trying out aluminum sheet banners for a change, we'll see how those fare.
Overall it feels like a nod to either Castle Greyskull or Skeletor's sceptor.
Yeah, the neck plate felt like it needed something and I couldn't be arsed to dig through the bitz anymore at that point, so just plopped down some green stuff and poked it until it looked vaguely skull-shaped
Had a game of AT today which was another maniple vs Lance game. Good laugh as usual, but its pretty much the same match up we've been running for years now.
While our traitor legio is still a long way off from being finished( well, the reaver and hound are at least table-ready ) we've tried out them out in the game regardless and its clear that the Wabringer is a little bit brutal when its the apex titan on the battle field in a 1000 point game, especially with a hound spotting for it. If my primary loyalist legio was a corsair instead of a venator, then the match up would feel about right. Still, the Warbringer is always there for when I play at a club or event, while its fellow reaver and hound can be support titans for our two existing "casual" forces. If I do go the club route then I'll consider the purchase of a Porphyrion banner and a Warmaster to open up larger games.
This week I'll be repainting the head on the reaver as it just doesn't look right standing next to the hound. So hopefully theres a photo incoming...

Bit more progress on the Warbringer and glad to say that magnetizing the waist seems unnecessary now. The upper body seems to rest comfortably without falling off, much like the carapace cannon.
New book up for pre-order on saturday, but not sure if its got enough meat on the bone. We will have to see...

I've been picking away at my pile of terrain for a while, slowly getting some paint on it all. Most walls panels have 8 windows that all need to be painted which is definitely slowing down progress!
I have designed it to be fully modular to move bits around as needed, it means you can have a little fun with it and make stuff for an Imperator to hide behind comfortably...
Currently printing up some Grimdark Terrain stuff as I finally got the printer up and running again.
Also, for anyone else with a printer, I came across someone designing some fantastic looking models that would fit in great as terrain, including a gigantic cargo ship that would probably take a month to print up. https://cults3d.com/en/users/Bishok/creations
Very much appreciating everyones building and custom work ITT.

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!
