Mr_Rose wrote: Any comparisons with the plastic munitorum container?
The grimdark shipping/container crates are the same dimensions, the one furthest to the right might be the width of maybe 2 length wise or maybe 3-4 width wise. I'll post some scale shots with both when I get one built.

Got bunch of stuff painted. First off the 2 new trains for the grimdark land train, the double long and the reactor car. Also got the big fuel bowser/silo done. Painted the little jungle boat I found on thingiverse. Cleaned up the trees a bit. I also added a hermes shovel to one of the land train cars and works pretty well. I'm very impressed with the nachmund landing pad and it's ability to function for AT and 30k, works well at both scales. All the little dudes are bits blitz designs. I don't think the mining crew is out yet tho,

That terrain is brilliant.
the titanic crane thing should have rules - would totally use as an allied melee titan of some calibre.

Subject: Adeptus Titanicus WIP *updated* Grimdark Boats (nautical themed AT board ideas)
Been pinned down with work of late but I'm starting to turn my eyes back them. I need to at least finish up the leg armour plates on both models...
Legs on that thing were annoying to put together.
Got my grimdark terrain ships done, made a bulk carrier and a little shorty tug boat. I wanted to keep the cargo are all one unbroken section so I could stack crates as high as I wanted from game to game to change the los/cover amount. Took some scale shots with the little jungle boat from thingiverse. I used a lot of gap filler super glue just cuz there was a bit of warping/cracking on a few pieces but overall it looks decent. They probably won't fit the rivers I painted up so definitely gotta get a new nautical battle mat. One idea for now is maybe make them beached like they're waiting for the tide to come back in, so have them in like big puddles basically.

I've at least got its crotch facing the right way this time! The last one was scratching its arse from the front...
Good work btw.
"it's on backwards!"
Some scale shots of the grimdark terrain boat with a few epic sized models and the hermes salvage titan. I also added some bits blitz designs little dudes to both ships, one is even hanging on for dear life

That poor sod dangling on the barge now has a bigger problem...
"KAIJU CRAB! KNIGHTS!!! TITANS! HELP MEEEEEEE!"
...cue an alternative opening for Thunderbirds but with Knights and Titans instead. But its funny because I was looking at the Solider Crab for Frostgrave( Northstar Miniatures ) and thought it would look good for doing battle with an AT Knight.
Great work as usual.

Had my buddy print up a bunch more crabs of varying sizes, even some we baby megacrabs.

The industrial titan terminals you're doing look mint dude.
I never like commenting on other peoples go at rules because that sort of thing is so subjective.
Everything you've done seems decent and my only concerns are 1: the unit may be a bit too good and 2:it would be good to have more civilian use options to keep with that link with Imperial Knight lore of rare STCs that only happen with weird resource availability.
I see it as a very slow thing that can turn rapidly on a dime; it wouldn't be able to best a battle-titan but could lay some serious hurt on knights and warhounds with the crane by lifting a knight (like a grabber machine) or unbalancing a warhound tipping it over. perhaps some sort of magnet like a scrapyard crane? idk...
Maybe some sort of dozer blade for the central lower hardpoint to literally shovel packs of knights away?
But, yeah - falling into that cliche of "this is how i'd have it!" here.
I think you did good.

For the containers it's basically just the colour palette of most of the terrain with the exception of maybe the blue which is more used on the little crew dudes.

I could definitely see them being slower but able to turn better, I like that and it makes sense give them being like loaders. I had mostly based them off the warhound then sorta ballparked the points without having voids. But ya could see them slower than a hound.
Dozer blade could work actually because one of the newer bits for it is a dozer that connects to both arms, would be funny to envision it smacking and tossing knights around.
It's tough to get the points right, its one thing im wondering about too if we ever see rapier light scout titans because there isn't much floor beneath the warhound in terms of still bridging the gap between knight and titan.

Little pic vid from yesterday's game testing out a few changes to the engine war scenario. Gonna post the pics later today, also likely going to update the engine war scenario, likely the final update.

There's some spelling errors that had to get fixed.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Zhor pattern accelerator railgun, basically count as graviton for warlord chasis. I can get people saying it looks more like a quake cannon and I believe the designer likely intended it to be used as one, I envision its bulk is on account of the rings/rails using a bunch of power to lob solid ammunition at insane speeds.
Seeing this revision is giving me the urge to revisit that light-seige maniple I was rambling about a while back. I suppose I'd better order some new models...
Good work, especially on the reserves.

They help keep the battle feel interesting, the game feels a lot less telegraphed now

So I managed to scrap together a destroyed grimdark reactor, I wanted it to look destroyed but perhaps in a state of retrofit. I also had a misprint of a wargames forge factory, so I added a bunch of bits to make a 2nd slurm factory. Next up a second shuttle, added some grimdark turrets and some bits from a planetsrike sprue. Also found a few more mewps so I added some bits blitz and vanguard dudes. A buddy sold me a civitas set, so I decided to kit bash it with some troublemaker games ruins. 1 out of the 4 is just civitas with a lazy forger water tower on top. I wanted that one to be solid and block total los to at least a warhound. The other 3 get various heights of ruins added on top. I usually prefer more solid terrain in terms of los, but I think these will work well in they don't really impeded weapon los, but still likely can provide strong cover to most titans.
