You talking about the shoulder pad extensions? Why are those separate in the first place.

Dunno mate. I'm glad they are though...

Basing evening, it seems. At least the Cerastuses are ready for painting, this time with some dead too.

My post earlier didn’t go through, these are excellent. Can I get a closeup of the flamer? I’m building one myself, what gun body did you use?

Finished assembling 2 more reavers and 4 more warhounds ready for paint. Well reaver heads wait new sprue.

Realized my mortis now has full axiom and venator plus minimum myrmidon. Victorum lacks warlord so min myrmidon and 2 venators 3 hounds each that it could fill at once.

And yes when i get these painted we WILL play game with all these. Think it's around 4k titans per side plus knights (26 of 2 types combined)

Can't do that, sadly, as I'm off on holidays with the family. Thanks though, here's a tut:

1) cut the Warhound inferno cannon so that you take the midpart off. Cut carefully to make sure the holes in the grill align properly. There are bolts in the nozzle to use as a guide, cut inside those.
2) cut the other side, using the lower armour parts as a guide.
3) cut a Lancer's shield hand to fit as the body of the gun. The hole for the shield works for the elbow.
4) I used some faceplates for sides, could as well scratch a shield for it like the 28 mm model has.
5) find suitable barrels for fuel. I used old vehicle heavy flamer tanks and BaC marine flamer tanks. Proper amount of skull icons there.
6) Warhound weapon tubing and positioning to taste.
7) profit.

More tomfoolery with a pair of Warpuppies and magnets. Wasn't paying attention and accidently glued two magnets together and now they won't come apart...sigh. Thank gawd they come in packs of 50! One of the pups is at least sporting a pair of...lets look at the manual..."turbo lazer destructors".

Does anyone find listening to music is helpful when assembling or painting?

Yes, or books. I highly recommend The Guns of August.

long story short, it can.
but it depends alot on what you are listening to. hard rock gets my blood pumping and that again results in more shaky hands then i normaly have. my first warhound becouse of this is alot more sloppy in the finish then it should have been. (then again my goal is tabletop and hunds dont exactly showcase mutch of themselfs so i guess it will be fine after all)

guess i have to restrict HM to assembly only

Did you try separating them with clippers? That's how i have got superglued together magnets separated.

Told myself that I would be done with my AT stuff before the end of the year to make sure im ready for the new stuff when it releases and to start getting some terrain done next year.

Last night I finished these fellas! Still need to do the knights but I still got another week!

Merry XMAS and I hope everyone have a great holiday!

That's a fine looking flock(or would it be a pride?) of gryphons you have there

Souless, that is badass!

Sadly it ended up chipping them. It was worth a try, though!

That’s my Maniple box arrived, and a Warhound built.

Reckon I’ll just use Blu-tak rather than magnets on those and the Reaver.

Magnetising the reaver and warlord is pretty simple ig you wanna do it!

I cut a piece off the ball joint on the arms to get a flat surface to glue magnets to. Then on the weapons just use a pin to hold the magnet fairly straight while a generous amount of superglu adhers! Have had no issues with them coming off! I did add a second drop of superglue after the first dried tho to give some eftra stability!

Yep dirt easy. Surely price of magnets isn"t issue

BLU-tak is just easier

Just looking over my sprues, and I’ve noticed that the Warlord Weapon sprue is, well, surprisingly spacious.

All the others, including the armour plating and superstructure are jam packed. But the weapon sprue has quite a lot of open, some might say wasted, space.

Wonder if it was rejigged at some point to remove other options?

why else do you think they sell 2 warlord kits?
gotta force people to buy the expensive stuff before they are allowed to buy the cheap stuff.

Reet!

Other Warhound built, and the Reaver is mostly done. Gone with the clenched Power Fist, as I quite fancy chinning enemy Titans at some point.

Really looking forward to the other Sprues being released now. Dunno about anyone else, but I’m keen to have a decent spread of weapons to choose from before a game.

The 2 warlord are same price so what cheap stuff we are supposed to buy later?

wep sprues ofc.
but that is a discussion for the other thread.

Does finishing the Titandeath novel count as a AT project?

*mild non story line spoilers ahead*

Um titan plus weapon sprue is more than just titan so you are way off

bying 1 single titan plus its wep sprue will be cheaper then bying 2-3 different titans to get all the plastic wep options.
seeing as we now has 2 warlords with diff weps but no seperatlysold wep spure kit yet, multiple titan releases with different wep selections is apparently the way GW goes for the near future.

i bet the next titan release will be a reaver with alt wep loadout.

Well yeah...https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/11/13/guns-for-your-god-machines/ And a third version of both the Reaver and Warlord would not exactly be shocking.

They’ve also confirmed the weapon sprues will be available separately.

Depending on the price, that could help AT be particularly affordable, spesh if the Titan Battlegroup remains available. It may well be like!

One of those, additional Reaver, and you’re pretty much good to go. That’s the cost, not including rules, down to £135, or £170 with the rules box (which also provides one with all the terminals you’ll need).

And if like me you buy it through Darksphere (or the online retailer of your preference), that’s down to a shade under £130.

From there, extra sprues around £20 (speculative pricing only) give you further options and flexibility, and the game has real appeal. Well, I think so anyway!

Me? Currently got 1 x Warlord and 1 x Battlegroup. Reckon I might round it out with another Battle Group next month. And some magnets.

Not quite ready for a photo, but I've painted the bodies of 2 Cerastus Knights( carapace and arms left to do ) and a basic paint'n'wash for the legs of 2 Warhounds.

I've changed colour scheme from my Questoris Knights, although they seem to sit well together if used for the same side.

No photos yet but I managed to get hold of a sealed Grandmaster Edition for less than RRP on eBay. That combined with a Battlegroup I have inbound should easily be enough to play with. Nothing's built yet but had a couple of trial games yesterday using appropriately-sized proxies. I won the game, but by the smallest of margins.

1: His Knights got into CC with my Warlord and killed it, it simply fell and did no damage.
2: My Knights were able to flank round his Warlord and get into CC, and his habitual use of cover prevented him escaping. Managed to get Reactor Leak 2 on his body.
3: He brings his Knights back towards him to take out mine, all the while his reactor is getting hotter and hotter.
4: He goes full-Chernobyl, killing 2 of my Knights and all of his.

Was such a fun game and showed how balanced it can be: it's not a case of first-shot-wins as it is in 40k. My Warlord was taking a pummelling from his rockets, in a constant cycle of Emergency Repairs, lose shields, Emergency Repairs, etc, and I fully expected to lose. The fact that I was able to pull a win with a single Knight left on the board was certainly surprising.

some players cant understand that just 3 models wont get removed in t1 cuz they only play 40k with its mismatch of rules.
AT has a realy solid rules set, heck they even included some optional rules for even more frentic stuff to manage( friendly fire anyone??)


as for me, serious painting fatigue has set in and i dont even have a demi maniple ready.
i simply cant paint a model the same colours more then max 2-3 times before i starts to hate it. seriously considering doing a demi venator and do anythign else as reinforcments so i can paint them howerver i want to.

Mixed Legio maniples or Knight banners from multiple houses would IMO fit the setting fine though. So go for it.
