I think your sort of wasting a titan by painting all this irish luck stuff.

Luckily he's painting his Titan, not yours.

I don't like it either. That's why mine will be different.

you could do a pounded copper head like this one:
they look really cool [url] http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/blogPost.jsp?aId=11500032a

I am probably going to repaint the bonejangles thing later: I Think the shamrocks are ok, but who knows: I might repaint them too. I have a lot more script to add eventually, but the whole idea is to get this thing ready by saturday morning so I can play it.

I need one of these models.

We interrupt this painting blog to inform you of the tragic events on Lyndsais II, a Titanic Battle that occurred in the far reaches of the Imperium
Recenty constructed, the Reaver Titan Hibernicus Fortuna marshalled near the ork junkyard of the Big Mek GobBuzz, in an attempt to stop his creation of an ork mechanized army capable of laying waste to the Lyndsais system. There, Hibernicus rendezvoused with the larger Reaver Titan “Iron Fury”, as well as Tau, Grey Knight and Reformed Daemonic forces. Upon arrival, it was clear that another army also laid clam to Big Mek GobBuzz’s factories and fortress. A substantial force of Tau, ork Stompas, Land Raiders and the infamous Warhound Titan “Fluffy” were seen advancing towards the facility from the South. Most notably, it could be seen that Big Mek GobBuzz was still firmly entrenched in his fortified Mek shop, and showed every sign of fighting any and all comers for his hard won gains.
---------------------------------------------End of Transmission---------------------------------------------------------
In this battle, I was equipped with twin laser blasters and carapace mounted Apocalypse Missile launcher. Took 5 ratlings to round my army out to 1500pts even.
Set up first, play first. First turn resulted in me toppling an ork stompa. Second turn, a squad of tactical landed in drop pod between me and the table edge behind (only 8 inches of space there; not quite sure how he made it). Stunned my left laser blaster with melta fire, but some of my tau allies helped kill most of them before they did any more damage. Ratlings killed 3 marines with 5 shots. Third turn, Sanguinary guard with melta pistols and a second melta tactical squad landed behind me, and I soon lost both a structure point and my left laser blaster. The worst was that they stunned both my missile launcher and other laser blaster, spoiling my kill of an enemy warhound with 1 structure point left (Guardsman Marbo got it with a det pack, after using a vortex grenade on a land raider with Marneus Calgar inside). Spent the rest of the game killing land raiders and kicking sanguinary guard/space marines. Unfortunately, one Sanguinary guard lived long enough to contest the objective at my feet (and the game ended with him staring down my reaver and a named daemon prince of khorne), leaving the objective score at 1 for us and 2 for them, with one uncontested objective still being held by the third party orks whose home we had so rudely trashed for this game.
In the ride home, Hibernicus Fortuna’s hip came loose, so I have to find a better way of pinning it in place for the following games. Other than that, Hibernicus Fortuna gets a painting grade of 4/10: high enough so that she looks good on the table, as long as no one looks at her closely. No interior detail yet, and all weathering and a lot of fine detail still needs to be done on the exterior.

Nice Batrep! Thanks for sharing, it sounds like you had a lot of fun!

Cool.

rools over Titan:

I was going to suggest getting some etched brass from FW for those empty spaces but your freehand works just as well.

Great work painting this beast, the Meltacannon/CCW is my favorite Titan weapon combo.

Once again. looking great!

Sorry for the lack of updates guys: got a little distracted with some basing ideas for the girlfriends eldar, and decided to finish up some of my dark angels and tau. Hopefully going to start working on Hibernicus today or later this week: weathering the exterior, magnetizing the torso, feet, head, and carapace, and then starting on the interior detail.

Remove Irish Skeletor. The rest is awesome.

i have to agree with shark victim i think the irish stuff is letting the model down but otherwise good stuff

Have you really been attacked by a shark? If so what type and what was the bite radius (I've seen Jaws - I know what I'm on about )

i firmly intend on getting rid of mr bonejangles. Any ideas what should go there instead? I would like to keep with the irish theme (no pots of gold, or anything else like that). Something irish-gothic? does that even exist? even if its something as simple as a shamrock-skull motif.

Maybe some celtic knotting? That has the irish feel but can still be made to look suitably grimdark.

acutally i think this would be quite a brillent idea, coving the vast expances with a dark green undercoat and a complex gold celtic knot :3 would suit it well, keep the shamrocks though

Since the Oceans of Terra have long boiled over, I doubt they know what a shamrock is.

i dont know, there pretty resilient plant and they can survive in harsh conditions, like on the back of a titan :3

How about some Celtic designs or maybe thorns or something? It looks awesome either way.

Well I guess since im the only one that thinks so it doesnt matter much. But I like the skeleton.

Yes, yes, and yes

Oh i don't mind it myself, what can I say? He has a Titan and I don't, so who am I to tell the man what he can do with it lol.

Exactly. Get your own $1K model and paint it any way you want to.

IF you want to redo the skeliton you could make him look more dark and sinister that might work

Maybe paint the Grim Reaper?

I've been painting, I swear!

NIce job A.

Badass! The pose is suitably heroic too!

yes.
