Was just a crappy job. Spesh all the times I’d be stuck in the Cafe bit, on my own, for an 8 hour shift.

Anyways. All my toys have now arrived, and Tunbridge Wells Adeptus Titanicus is on the move!

May get me a second set of Terrain this month. Will build the first, see how I feel from there. Second box would be for variety rather than density.

Tacked together a freeblade assassin called The Shadow Thief. Knives and head are from the skitari assassin kit, I have another freeblade to build and that banner of four is done.

Also done is one lance with a pair of Cerastus lancers, 3 Questoris thermal cannons, and 3 dual melee Questoris with converted powerfists.

A "Freeblade Assassin" eh? Looking for a Warlord's Achilles Heel no doubt.

very slowly getting there:

Long shot I know, but if anyone on here is localish, and fancies a game now and again, and you use FB, let me know.

Yes. Yes it is called Tunbridge Wells Adeptus Titanicus. Because of course it is!

Brilliant

As an American I’m super confused.

The acronym.

It’s all in the acronym

Legio Solaria coming along, still need to do decals, some touch up, and finish the basing

The current scratch-built Warhound "Torch of Horus". Using left over pieces from Reaver sprues I thought I'd blue-tack them in along with the pelvis and shin plates too.

Being a Chaos sort of chap he enjoys hunting Loyalist Reavers and uses pieces from fallen foes as replacement armour as well as trophies. Bit of a nasty sod, really. He'll play support to the Questoris Lance I'm also slapping together, although I need the upgrade sprue and an Acastus for them to match the Loyalist force.

He's got a bit of a story too. Horus sends his small Legios to take command of a Loyalist Household and to give the order to attack their allied-Legios neighbour. "An order from Horus is the word of the Emperor". Not entirely up on the whole Heresy thing but its obviously on the eve of the war, and all that jazz. Looking forward to a mission where the Household learns of the treachery and switches sides, sending the "beast back to whence it came!".

very nice job.
im tempted to run that maniple but as it was pointed out to me, that free shot might not be avalible as mutch as you would think, so that put me on hold for it and i went axiom instead for now.
but it is a nice maniple for low point games.


(add a few colourfull LEDs to the base and your set for december )


@SamusDrake

nice idea with the reaver fists.

It’s definitely a Maniple you might want dual Volcanon Cannon on your Reaver. Let the Warhounds do the legwork, and Reaver be the force multiplier.

Lot easier said than done though

if i was you, i would work a bit on the head. witth house wide bulky shoulders, and long "arms", a short head, kinda like a putbull might fit it better.

Hmmm...I'll give that some thought.

Dual Volcano is pretty limiting, though, and easily becomes a liability when the situation turns rough. Personally I'd always aim to have the Venator's leader be shooting with the Melta Cannon, advancing somewhat carefully and using terrain to shield itself from the return fire as long as possible while blasting that sweet Str 11 death all over the place. Requires agressive hounds, naturally.

Base coated and attached shin plates to some Questoris. Coated some other bits on their armour too.

Oh, my copy of Doom of Molech went walkies. Spent some time rampaging through the house until I remembered I left it on the coffee table. Of all places and in full view...getting old.

Tonight I’ll crack on building my Civitas set.

Will endeavour to take pics as I go, and offer comments/thoughts as I get used to the kit.

Started my pair of Castigators last night and magnetized the gun elbow so I can swap out a shield/lance for the same points.

Fajita Fan, how many boxes of Knights do you have? You have like a bazillion Knight pieces!

I’ll give you a count layer but I’ve honestly lost count. I was moving stuff out of my trunk to move a TV and found 3 unopened Reavers.

I know I have more than enough knights to make my household, that’s for sure.

Well, the Civitas set is rather spiffy.

Only built one of the smol sprues (7 left to go!), and my box doesn’t have instructions, so flying a wee bit blind.

This one was pretty straight forward, and beautifully engineered. 45 degree corner connections, and the smallest building can be slotted on to the bigger one, and sit there quite nicely without glue.

In height terms, see pic 3. Offers full cover to a Questoris, partial to a Cerastus, and a reasonable level to a Warhounds.

And onto the first of the 8 larger sprues.

Wee bit more involved this time. The roof section is a ‘three stretch’, but the wall sections are a single ‘two stretch’ and thusly, 6 ‘one stretch’.

To connect the wall sections along the long side, you use the buttress bits. This is why you can now see my kitchen chopping board. Nice even surface to make sure they’re all flush.

These buildings are around 1.5 times the height of those from the Small Building Sprue. This entirely hides a Questoris behind it (he is in the pic, I swear) and of course, offers far more cover to the Cerastus and Warhound. Though. I suspect if the Questoris had the Carapace Launcher, you’d be able to see that.

And yes, they other two stack on top in the same way. But the bottom end of the walls in this kit are somewhat thicker, so likely won’t stack atop.

You can also make much lower buildings, as you can see. Approx 1/2 the height of the Small Building. And again these bits are stackable. Which is nice.

Can provide some underfoot scatter terrain, or can be used to vary the heights of the rest of your collection. Which is useful. Variety is indeed the spice!

So that’s the very basic ‘no real trying’ results. Next, I think I’ll try something L shaped. Help give the look a bit more texture,

thanks all, like the start of those buildings, here is what I have done so far with the buildings, still more sprues to build though

I need to get my knights sprayed before I finish my buildings.

The household thus far. Two more freeblades for a four man unit to fill out points and it’s ready to spray if tomorrow is a nice day.

My Castigators’ guns can be swapped for shields if they don’t turn out to do much. I’m still waiting for this flail to cure but his bannermate has a Fantasy warhammer counts-as-power sword.

Been printing up some AT scenery and a few Lucius variants:

How much trouble is it to clean up pieces done in a resin printer like that? Are you using a separate curing station? We don’t have a resin printer yet at work but I’m pushing for one.
