**The Crusader Of 42**

Utterly fantastic.

The fist picture of the titan looked absolutely horrid, but now it looks really awesome.

**Invicta**

Thanks man. I have 5 Titans total. Warlord Battle Titan, Reaver Battle Titan, Warhound Scout Titan, Paladin Knight Titan, and a Knight Crusader Titan.

**meatman33**

Whoa. FIVE titans? Can you post all the pics here? would love to see them?

**Invicta**

Here is an old picture before I started working on my Reaver Titan. I have more pics in my profile under "Titans"

**bigfish**

:O..... i need more daka.

dude these are awesome, the work you did on the largest one was just epic what a turn around from the original.
wow. i really need more stompa's

**Invicta**

Thanks Bigfish

**Invicta**

Here is my latest addition to my Titan Legion. Knight Crusader Titan 400pts. Armament: Twin mounted long lascannons, knight sismo cannon, twin linked heavy bolters.

**bigfish**

quite a wait for this new one, looking good though

**Invicta**

Yeah, I was transferrd from North Carolina to California. My wife had other priorities for me

**Invicta**

After 2 plus years I'm re-opening this thread. A lot has changed, I sold my Warlord, in the process of selling my scratch built knight titans, and selling my Ultramarines. I'm going to repaint my Reaver and Warhound titans and have a some knight titans coming my way off a buddy of mine. Here is the first picture of my new paint scheme which is simply changing the eye color on the faces. Also Im going to repaint the titans scab red.

**Master Azalle**

DId you ever go back and cast some of your reaver?

**Invicta**

No, but I plan on casting some turbo lasers and laser blasters combining forgeworld and armorcast parts together. Waiting on my forgeworld stuff to come in.

**Invicta**

New base colors done on the lower half of the Reaver Titan. Added some wires in the groin area, some aquilas on the toes, and an adeptus mechanicus symbol on the groin plate. I know the armorcast reaver will never be as pretty as the forgeworld model, however I want to make it look like it was retrofit with modern guns and brought out of retirement by the adeptus mechanicus. Next photo should be of the finished product, going to take my time with battle damage and weathering. I also order some blank decal sheets. I've never used them before, I hope the decals I plan on making come out right. I will also add a banner underneath the groin and kill banners off of the guns when I get to them.

My buddy is sending me a 40k size Paladin Knight and Knight Errant. I plan on making a Crusader and a Lancer as well. Does anyone know which Epic rulebook or codex would have the most up to date rules on the various knights?

**Master Azalle**

I can't wait to see your Paladin Knight and Knight Errant, I've been toying with the idea of getting the 15mm scale crusaders from dream forge and running them as Knights!

And if you find rules, if you could post a link, i'd appreciate it to as i have not been able to find any.

**Invicta**

I'm anxiously awaiting my knights as well. I found some rules from 5th edition. Good starting point but going to need some updating:

Updated picture on the reaver lower half. Waiting on my decal sheets to make decals for the shin guards, then add some more battle damage, and finally I'm going to add some purity seals.

**BigJim**

Ha! Love the squished marine!!!!

**Invicta**

Thanks!

**Prophet40k**

the colors... they remind me of something. I just can't place my finger on it.

**gunslingerpro**

Helluva restart to an already great thread.

How'd your 15K game go anyway?

**Invicta**

I lost! Chaos player had 5 drop pods with 4 meltaguns each inside. He severely crippled my warlord, that was the beginning of my demise.

Think I'm going with Legio Ignatum (Fire Wasps) Red, black, yellow. Plus the fluff behind them is pretty cool.

**Invicta**

WIP Reaver.

**Invicta**

Decal disaster! I'm not sure what's going on with my POS printer. First of all in the print preview, the Fire Wasps symbols looked perfectly round however after I printed them they look oblong. Next, only the black color stuck, the rest looked great on the decal sheets but over the red, you can't even see the colors. I'm going to try and paint in the colors over the decal, we'll see if I can keep it from looking too sloppy.

**Invicta**

Finished the top carapace. Some more minor detailing and I need to make the laser blasters and the Reaver should be done.
