Well, I finally got through a bunch of projects, some mine and some commissions, and wanted to get back to posting a hobby thread. Mostly to help motivate myself, but also partly due to prodding from friends.
So, first up, the Legio Crucius warhound titan I did. The scheme was decided upon by a friend for his warhound basically because it mirrors his personal approach to
40K. Basic. Businesslike. Not flashy or flamboyant. So, black and white it was. The only big issue was that he didn't like the curvy appearance of the Mars pattern warhound, so he picked a Lucius Pattern (Jackal trim) to start. I had a long love hate relationship trying to magnetize the weapons and waist, because the only ones I had done before and have seen in person had used too big of magnets, that lift the model and create unnecessary jarring to the $600 model when they connect.
His scheme ended up white mask, stripes on left shin guard, simple markings on shoulder, legio symbol on outside right shin guard.
Here's the Legio Crucius symbol shin guard. It was a complete pain to paint that over an angle shift in the armor, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. Definitely the hardest freehand design I've ever painted.
Inside the cockpit. Tried to go for a different feel on the screens than I've done before. I assume that the weapons would have different displays, and painted them accordingly.
I also wanted a touch of Legio flair inside the cockpit, so I painted the doors black and white. The hole in the door is for the steel rod that attaches to the magnets in the torso, allowing free tilt dynamic posing.
The ceiling quote is a favorite of the owner, "Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead."

I'll update for the final pictures in the light box(including piston close ups and back detail, which I cleverly didn't upload to the
PC yet.
I appreciate any comments, and can answer any questions also. Thanks for reading!
