You simply must have a 2nd Ed marine to hand. I refuse to believe anyone doesn't. The number I have 'found' in ziplock bags or boxes for some project long-since forgotten is beyond belief at this stage

Thanks for sharing

Well I'm not actually old enough to have any 2nd ED models........... Yeah, ok, I can't even pretend to be THAT young. I ditched all of my old 2nd ED stuff in a moment of stupidity as a young adolescent when the 'new' plastic Marines came out in '98. Holy crap, that was 23 years ago and I STILL think they're the new style of Marines.

Thanks for the donation OSJC, I've built him but he's yet to be painted as I've had other things on the go............. speaking of which!!

I built my second Warlord for the White Titans.I wanted a bit more of a dynamic action pose......... however, once again I messed up at the hip joint so instead of charging forward he's more plodding slowly towards the enemy. Which has it's own charm I think. I still like the pose as it has a feel of 'weight' about it. I also chopped off each of his toes on his right foot to reposition them.







Also!! KNIGHTS!!!!

I needed a little 'add on' to my yellow/Red Titans as they weren't quite 1500pts as a force yet.... yet. I will do another Reaver. I'll probably end up doing some more of these Knights as well. I'd love to do some Armigers for them and recreate my 40k Knight army

Does anyone happen to know if there are any rules for Knght Crusaders and/or Knight Gallants?

Love the cacti! Unfortunately I don't think they've added Armigers yet. I don't know if Armigers can even touch a Titan!

Cute little dinky knights. And love the RT-esque basing of the Cacti! Is this your retro penance for getting rid of your 2nd Ed marines back in the day?

The plan was to put two tiny Armigers on a 40mm base and count them as a single Knight for the time being. I doubt GW will go smaller than a Questoris though as the game is meant to be about massive Titans Blowing seven shades of ...... out of each other. Not little tiny Warmachines.

Not much of an update. I've done some new weapons for the Warlord and a bit of scenery.





Because NO ONE WILL EVER SEE THIS!! I've taken a picture to show off the detail........... because no one will ever see it in games. I'll know it's there. Which is enough.... I think?





I got my hands on that 2nd ED Marine and a kindly donation of some 3d printed marines. Some old bases, some plasticard and Boom! A quick and easy chapel.

I've not had much chance to do any hobby of late but I managed to get some bits done over the Easter weekend (now I'm back to work for seven eleven hour shifts on the bounce!).

I've built 3 Reavers, 2 for the white Lego and 1 for the Yellow Legio. This wee chappy is the 3rd Reaver for the Yellow boys!! I cobbled some Carapace Mega Bolters out of some spare Warlord ones I had kicking about. I kinda like them........ kinda.




I also managed to get some knights finished. These are all ebay rescue jobs so I'm not claiming responsibility for the non centred barrels lol. They're just gaming models so I'm not that fussed about them.




I'd like to get these boys some Armigers and expand them into a 1000 point force. But that's a ways off yet as I want to get my next White Legio maniple done first.

The wonders of Methylated spirit It confuses me that someone went to the effort to drill put the barrels on the Avenger Gatling Cannon and then not take the care to make them central lol. OH well, at that scale, no one will see them...... unless of course I post them online so everyone can see them.

Thanks guys! I ended up leaving the smallest cacti with no spikes. For no aesthetic reason than it was just too fiddley with the smaller ones! AS for the names, yeah, I wanted something a bit more brutal and derogatory.


Ok, so, I'm working on another (possibly last) Titan for the Yellow Boys. This is Rubigo Situla and is still somewhat WIP. I'm not sure what to put in place of the Flak Cannons. I like the mortars on the Warmaster so may well do something like that. I'm not sure. The plasma reactor things at the back in place of the Quake shell magazines are temporary until I think of something better.

powdery rust or streaky on this 'bucket?

both would be nice...

and some cracked paint would be a nice feature... perhaps with one of the crackly terrain paints as undercoat?

Ha, well, I can put up loads of pics of half finished models. It's basically all I own

Well, I could make this an especially 'Dirty' Titan. Although Sordidum Senex really should be the dirtiest The Crackle paint is not a bad idea! I'll certainly try that out that's for sure. I have never used the weathering powders. What do you use OSJC?

Gobert, I remember you name from way off...... Were you on Librarium Online before it melted?

chigwell, essex

well the best thing is always a good wash.
in the past, before the gw citadel washes were released I used to use a variety of acrylic varnishes and woodstains. this can still be good but is not always the best finish. espescially since the citadel washes do so much more.

stippling and sponging is good for layered filth.

the typhus corrosion is good for gritty filth, but I always used to mix either, brickdust, cement or even tetrion filler with watered tacky-glue (a hobbycraft pva blend thats excellent for modellers) and apply it that way.

Ive not used the fw powders but used the old fashioned way of using ground up oil pastels mixed with white spirit back when I did military vehicles... the ws sets it hard as varnish but does have the added bonus that you can use a q-tip to clean any you don't want afterwards with more ws... (only do that on acrylic painted models though, or your paint will just get stipped/livened-up and wrinkly and thats never good :(

Ive read the fw powders function in a similar way but in truth Its a lot of funting about for something that can just as easily be achived 'acrylicly' with a bit of approprite coloured chalk-dust mixed into some lahmium medium, and a buch of good washes and deft brush/sponge work...

dont overlook the new contrast paints either. I'm sure the thicker than wash nature would make for some great weathering effects with a bit of experimentation...

Sorry, must’ve been another gobert, though I’ve not seen many myself! Surely this one should be dirty with rust and sordidum with earth?

Thanks OSJC. That's a great insight and I will certainly try a few of those!

Huh, small world then Gobert!


Like a big kid, I couldn't resist building this guy and starting to paint it. I had told myself it would be my reward for finishing the next maniple. But who was I kidding? Of course I was going to do him next!! He was easy enoigh to build but it was a long process. It took me 2 days to build him and 34 (yes, thirty four) magnets!!!



(top right panel will be purple)


Next to a Reaver just to show the scale of this BEAST



I have also started work on the Warbringer. It's just leadbelcher and washes as the moment.

He certainly is. Gw really have outdone themselves with this. The detail is on another level. It's gonna take me months to paint

I have the White all lined out and ready for highlighting. The purple is also done. Although I'll probably end up doing some more panels purple. I've left a few as I'm not sure what colour to do them (might change when I get it all together)

I guess someone 3-D prints something, but not my part of ship, so wouldn't have a clue where to look!

And I really am the wrong person to ask, as I never bother with WYSIWYG as I find it unduly limiting. Your titans are distinct enough for your oppo to be able to keep track IMHO, and I always hand over a list to my oppo with pics

But hopefully someone else has some better ideas!!

Although that being said, I hear good things about Thingiverse and/or Etsy if the 3D print route is preferable
