Yep but rather fun! I always find I get far more of a feel of progress with 6mm anyway although you do seem disturbingly short on regular Squat Infantry.

It'll be great to see a new take on some classic models. Especially the Squat Airships. They'll look brilliant!

Nah, that's just some of my squat stuff. The infantry were shy and decided to stay in their vehicles for that pic. I'll convince them to get out.



And the group shot again. Another trike and bike squad showed up. along with the Squat Grand Battery.



I also have a bunch of robots that I need to put together. And a few more super heavy vehicles I have to find.

Yeah, I've been looking forward to painting those. They are so easy looking compared to everything else. And I hope I do them justice.

That's better hoping to do some Squats based around either Dystopian Wars or Age of Tyrants models and the Steel Crown infantry someday......

Ok, I remembered that I wanted no green on my Squats so I chose to do my last Iron Eagle squadron in black. They're finally done.




Group photo of all of them.



I'm not sure if I'm gonna do bikes or the Cyclops next. And I still have to do two more trike units.

Well, it's been over a year since I did anything with this thread. In the last year very bad things have happened that I won't go into all of publicly, but part of that bad stuff is learning that I am slowly going blind.

Because of this I haven't really done much painting in over a year. I want to change that now. But with the new condition of my eyes, I am going to start doing slightly larger miniatures until I can get my painting skill back up to where I can do the little epic mini's again.

I've always wanted to do a Titan Legion or two so I think I will begin there. Here is what I have as far as Imperial Titan's go.











I also have another 11 or so beetleback Warlord titan's that I am planning on making into Chaos Titans



However, since my skills are not back up to where I want them just yet, I am beginning by finishing up some models that are partly painted but have not been finished. For this I have decided to make 3 different Legio with these Imperial titans. Legio Ignatum (Fire Wasps), the Titan Legion of Mars itself...they have many titans still in service that were used during the Great Crusade and have been personally blessed by the Emperor of Mankind. They have a black and red color scheme with lots of fire iconography.

The next will be Legio Victorum. A Titan Legion that has a blue and silver color scheme. Their homeworld was originally Mars but after the Horus Heresy they were moved to Triplex Phall. They also have the honor of participating in the Siege of the Imperial Palace during the Horus Heresy.

And third, I plan to do Legio Astramana (Morning Stars). Who's homeworld is Graia

Luckily, I have some partly painted green ones already as you can see in the above pictures. So to help myself get back into painting I will finish up the paint job on these. I began by white lining the edges of one titan with the Corvus Assult Head on it



and I straightened out the white, black, and blue stripes, as well as adding black stripes to the titan that didn't have them. I then put on many layers of yellow to the edges of the Corvus Assult Head titan so he looked like the other two and other than finishing the bases they are done.

So here they are individually


This one has the Corvus Assult Head


This one has a Dragon Weapon Head


And this one has just the normal plastic head that came with the kit.

Here they are together



And now the entire maniple of the Legio Astramana.



I don't plan on basing any of these titans until I can get all of my basing stuff out of storage so I will just be painting them up without basing and then do it all in one go.

Next I plan on doing the Legio Ignatum (Fire Wasps).

So I did some more painting today. I got some first coat lining done on one of my Warhound Titans. By the clean up stage they all should be better looking. This is them with the first coat of black



and this is the first one with some Boltgun Metal lining and a bit of it dry brushed onto the Warhound's head.



So hopefully I can get it to start looking better by the time they are all done.

Youre missing the "Warlord Battle Titans" game! Thats the only one youre missing from the collection.

I thought that was just a boxed set of battle titans for Epic. Am I wrong? If so, I've never even seen a copy of that game in any store or online. Do you have pics or a link to it?

Ah, Epic...my friends and I were big into battletech when I first saw Adeptus Titanicus; couldn't pass it up.

I have a small horde from the first two boxed sets and an army box I bought. To this day, it's still all partially painted (and my old eyes are slowly going bad, so it's becoming more doubtful I'll ever finish painting them), so I applaud your hard work!

Thanks Stormonu,

I will never give up epic until I cannot see at all anymore. I love this game too much. It's too bad you won't paint those models anymore as I always love seeing what other people paint in Epic scale.

Sorry to hear that your eye sight is going, that's a really tough break.

Titans are looking awesome though!

EDC

Horrible to hear about your eye sight delighted to see those old heads. Hadn't actually seen the Corvus Assault Head before.

Thank you Evildrcheese and Llamahead. I'm glad you guys like the way the Titans are turning out. Sadly I only have one Corvus Assult Head and it is painted for the Legio Astramana so I guess that is where it stays.

But I did get some more progress done today. I finally got all of the lining of the silver done on the three Legio Ignatum Titans.



Now for the second coat of black to clean up some splashes of the silver and then it will be on to putting on the stripes and flames, and hopefully I can start putting banners and purity seals on all of the titans. Though I may wait for the banners and purity seals after I have completed their bases. I'm not sure yet on that.

Yup, I have pics of it and the side of the battle titans box has templates on it that you cut out. I havent removed them as the box in is mint condition. Came with 6x beetleback titans and all the weapons. The titancius books were thrown in for free and are not part of the warlord battle titan game

For 50$ on B-town I got the following.

That is not a separate game. It is simply a box of Beetleback Warlord titans that were made so you could buy extra titans for Adeptus titanicus without having to re buy the whole Adeptus Titanicus boxed set game to get them. It came with a few templates printed on the side because that is what GW used to do back then.

It's cool that whoever you got them from on BT decided to throw in the rules for Adeptus Titanicus for you though.

Gotcha, Thanks for identifying that. I was trying really hard to figure out where it came from. But never thought it could just be a box of extras you would buy

Your welcome xSoulgrinderx, glad I could be of help. I hope to see those painted up some day.

So I spent some time this week trying to paint up the three Warhound Titans and they are done except for basing and putting on the decals/banners/purity seals.

Enjoy

Nice and bright!

Haha, yeah, I decided to make them very close to the origional Legio Ignatus as shown in the 2nd edition titan legions game. I definitely wanted them to have an old school feel.

And I know how you just LOVED my stealth gyrocopters!
