To be honest, I much prefer the Mars pattern titans. I just love the sleek look of them. They just kinda look elegant which is a contrast to most 40k stuff as it hints back to an era when humanity wasn't so dark and rubbish at everything.


Having said that though, the old metal lucius warlord is what got me into EPIC in the first place. I love that model so the pattern always has a soft spot in my heart. Just not the warhound and, frankly, awful reaver titan they did in the same pattern.


Started painting the Warmaster up. It's an easy scheme to knock out so it shouldn't take me long. For me anyway.

You know what, I meant warlord as it goes.
that metal one, thats the exact mini/design cues I think of when someone says "titan"

also because its the posterboy titan from the dan abnett written graphic novel of the same name.

cant agree more about the ugly lucius reivers and the classic warhound? argh like an ugly toy robot from a kids saturday morning cartoon... I could never take that seriously...

I mean, just look at this goofy bugger...

That is one sweet Titan! The rescue l/detail increasing work looks quite extensive but works really well. Good luck getting to those Marauders… I have similar problems with more plastic crack appearing quicker than I can paint stuff!

I like the Lucius Diversion, even the Reaver Nicely done, me Lord! Warmaster shaping up lovely - really nice plasticard work too.

I have a stash of the old titans for a far away future… 6 of the warhounds, 4 of the reavers and 9 of ye olde beetlebacks… Hmmm…

Thanks guys!!!

The big guy is finished! The paint job is quick and no bother. I think I spent more time n effort painting the guardsmen on his feet!! Those things are tiny!!

The old style titans, like the metal warhound and the plastic Warlord, yeah, they're pretty poo. I do like the metal Reaver and the OLD metal Warlord (because it's quirky). The new Range of Mars pattern titans are awesome. As you said, though, the Lucius Warlord on the front cover of that book looks amazing.

The warmaster came together really quickly! Love that they have a small army on their bases, gives a great sense of scale and sets them nicely in universe!

Absolutely love the use of the infantry to set scale, it really makes them something special!

Cheers! I've wanted to get some Infantry and tanks on the bases for ages but have never really liked the files/models around. I'm not that fussed with the printed stuff though, so on they went I do love how BIG they make the titans feel.


Speaking of BIG. I finally printed my next big, and I mean BIG, scenery project. On to painting now I guess! What colour shall this beast be? And, yes, of course I'll be printing a space port to fit it on. Why wouldn't I be?

This is overwhelming, and extremely cool, but you missed the final 11/10 trick of making the nose cone splitable in three, to make that whole thing an hommage to the OG Devourer Dropship:



I'd say classic BFG dark green body, with white prow and golden/bronze trim.

Ooooh, this is a gorgeous dropship !

Thanks guys

You're showing your age knowing about that Drop Ship (so am I I guess!). It's cool but unless you know a friendly 3D designer I'll have to make do with this design Classic Dark Green does sound good actually. I don't have any Green on my board apart from Plasma which is tiny. So it might well be a good way of drawing attention. It was either that or Yellow, the same as I had done my BFG transports.

I'm easily old enough to know that dropship, but it escapes my memory!

Looking at how ornate and intricate the detail is, it screams to have 'carnelian' on it somewhere, just 'cause.

an absolute thing o beauty.
Its my birthday and I wants it...

Well I finally, finally managed to get some paint on some weapons and finish off my second Warlord. This is {Ira Aeterna}.





I tried some funky Plasma Shenanigans



I also managed to get some of the shiny new Forge World Beamers done. They're beautifully detailed and very nice to paint!!






As for the drop ship. I've gone for a Dark blue with White Prow and wing/armour bits. I'll hopefully have some worthwhile pictures in the next few daays.

Very excellent work- congratulations on completing it! Everything nice and crisp, very detailed pin lining, in my opinion just the look that an Imperial fighting machine like this should have.

The beamers turned out exceedingly well, also. Your paintjob highlights the intricacy of the mechanism- captures that detail that the sculpt possesses and makes it easier to see!

Rock on.

Gorgeous titans, way to persevere. Top marks on the beamers, those are exceedingly crisp

Thanks guys. It's very much appreciated.

So, I've wasted an awful lot of my time at work recently and have been pretty burnt out. However I have had 4 days off and have managed to get some Hobby time. I've got the vast majority of the Drop ship done, although It needs something on the prow and some scorch marks here n there. Then I can start work on putting things in the cargo bays!! You know, all that extra detail NO ONE will see? Yeah, that stuff.






With the release of epic, aka Legions Imperialis, I spied some Melta weapons on those Warhounds. Well, I went ahead and got ready for it!! They were a free file on Cults. So all credit goes to them.



I also managed to print off some random little mechanicus guys working on the damage to my Warmaster. There was supposed to be more Servitors but they failed to print properly. So for now it's just the one and his enginseer boss.

This ship is a beauty ! Congrats Lord Borak !

Hey, is that Servitor one of my ladder guys? What happened with the printing? Was it an issue in the file?

Thanks!!

I think it was more my own fault than an actual issue with your file. Probably the supports I put on weren't good enough. I'll try again!!

dear god that dropship!

chef's kiss! Love it...


nice to hear you got some time off... hope you've been enjoying!

I love a bit of hidden detail on minis, so I’m looking forward to super tiny cargo! The drop ship looks ace, as do the mods to your Lucius Pattern Titans.

Been a while!! I'd like to say I've done loads of Hobby in the last, Oh, 4 or 5 months but that would be a lie. However! I managed to start and almost complete two more Reavers this week. Just the Base, decals and names to go. Then onto the weapons.











Quite happy with the way these guys are coming along. Still a few bits to neaten up (damn you close up photo's).

Delectable as usual, Tom.

That gold is truly delicious.
Perhaps it's the purple and gold together but it puts me in mind of yummy chocolate. But giant chocolate titans.


'And all because the emperor loved milk tray...'

As far as feedback goes, I'll take that lol.

Who says he doesn't like it? He's 'apparently' around during this time period. So he could well be munching on a box as we speak.

Certainly very tasty minis! Always so crisp

Thanks

I've managed to finish the two Reavers. Well, I say finished. I want to add some scroll work to their knee pads once I find small enough transfers. Plus, I need to do their weapons so not completely done.

Behind the scenes I have still been working on my World Eaters. I just haven;t really finished anything. I have multiple squads that are half done. I'm currently working on some characters to kinda get me in the mood to finish them off.

Praetor, Warmonger and Chaplin.


Praetor



Chaplin

Proper brutal WE characters! Really delicious gore.

Titans continue to be creamy goodness as well

Titans are banging as ever.
Nice work on the powerarmoured nutters...





You've got red on you...

Excellent use of quote from the Cornetto Trilogy!
