Lol... Thanks? I'm waiting for the wife to get home and talk it over.

I tried and was met with "sure... once you finish painting what we already have." :-p Have at it boys... the boss shot me down. LOL I say this jokingly, because she's a gem and didn't even bat an eye at my Warcry preorders, etc...

Off to paint some Warhounds!

Awwwww!





Should probably get me a missus at some point. Whip me into shape!

Just ordered a bunch of the resin Warlord Weapons for peeps in the US, seeing as they've been in stock over there for all of about 3.4 seconds.

Won't be doing another such Loot for a couple of weeks (I've got major postage on my hands as it is), but in time, and provided the US doesn't get a restock by then, happy to do the same again.

Ditto the Reaver weapons, should similar issues manifest. But as a general Lootin' Rule, we don't Shop For Others on FW or GW, just because it's cheaper. We rely quite a lot on goodwill to be able to Loot in the numbers we do, so not worth honking either off!

I finished painting my first Warhound today, these models are really, really gorgeous. I'll post picks once i'm not tired, lazy and on my phone

Well done! Tis indeed a fine kit and look forward to seeing your work.

I like Warhounds so much I decided to return my 3 unopened Reavers to get more Warhounds and make an Ember Wolves legio.

Excellent move!

Just finished my first Titanicus mini! A Legio Mortis Warlord "Carolus Rex" painted for a friend. Was lucky enough to get Gold in my local GW's Everchosen Open category.

One of the fastest models I've painted in a little while too, once it was all cleaned up I got the painting done in around ten days.

Also used it as a bit of a test piece for my own Legio, thinking I might do Astorum so I can paint some space effects and constellations on the panels.

It takes me 10 days to paint a leg, that looks great!

Snotcatcher that is incredible work you have done there. A Well deserved gold, for sure.

It's a small touch but I love the different colored missiles.

Woah...very impressive!

Very nice Snotcatcher!

Still a ton to do but my first legio is getting there. Warlord still needs a ton of work and then I can start the psi-titan as I paint my second legio. Lenses are done in Akellion (sp?) green contrast paint, probably a dot of bright green to finish those.

Currently acting as an international arms dealer.

So far, I've procured for peeps in the US around 30 of each of the Forgeworld Warlord Weapons.

First two batches (big'uns!) arrived yesterday, and having been checked, await shipping. Possibly later today.

Third order should arrive today.

And a poster in this very thread's should arrived tomorrow.

Sweet!

Seems it took me a while to not be lazy here goes: Cane Tigris, the Hound of Tigris, first of my Legio Solaria!

The picture loses a lot of the spots of lighter green and white i applied via sponge on the armor pannela. I might yet have to build a lightbox one of these days...

i struggle with photography too, my gold has a lot of colors that aren’t showing up.

Solaria looks cool!

My Tempestus, a few pages back were fully shaded and I was told on here that they needed shading. I looked at the pics and they really do look flat. Photography it seems isn't my forte either.

Your Hound of Tigris looks pretty great to me. Lovely colour choice.

My gold looks like leather in many pics.

What are you doing reading this?

Don't you know the Reaver Warp Missile is up for pre-order?

£11 a pop. Or your national equivalent.

Further to the above, looks like the quake cannon and gatling blaster are back in stock (for the UK at least) too.

Oh most definitely they are

Funily enough, they are still available after several hours o.o
The warp missile looks nothing like what i expected, i like it though

summerhollidays !

So I have a game coming up on Tuesday, never played this guy before and no idea what he'll be running. I have the following units at my disposal:

3x Warlords, one set of Sunfury + 2 sets of Belicosa
2x Reavers, one set of Laser/Gatling, one set of Melta/Volcano
2x Warhounds, all weapons

9x Questoris
2x Cerastus
2x Acastus

Everything's magnetised so there's some good possibilities there. I have the following list in mind, running Astorum

Warlord Titan
- Apoc Launchers
- 2x Belicosa

Reaver Titan
- Turbo Laser
- Melta Cannon
- Chainfist

Reaver Titan
- Apoc Launcher
- Laser Blaster
- Volcano Cannon

2x Warhounds
- 2x Plasma
- 2x Vulcan

2x Cerastus Lancers

2x Acastus Poryphion

Thoughts?

What maniple rules are you using? Now that the sunfury is out I never see people running dual volcanoes who didn't just glue them in last summer, you might consider a plasma.

Also your total shield stripping armament consists of one pair of Apocs, a single Apoc, and a pair of vulcans on fragile Warhounds. Maybe swap the laser on the second Reaver for a gatling?

Ah, I wrote that in a rush so missed a couple of points.

- Maniples: Not so sure on what would be the most suitable. I've ran a Myrmidon in the past, and the horrendous luck I had (failing more 2+ command checks than I passed) put me off it. The Venator sounds decent, but I haven't much experience or ideas how the newer ones stand.

- Belicosas: My gut feeling is that it's always handy to have at least one Belicosa in your force. It's all magnetised so no worries there, would a Sunfury be more appropriate in that case?

- Shields: You're right, I could do with some more Void-strippers, I do have the Acastus launchers in addition to the ones you mentioned, but a Gatling Blaster would help as well.

Everyone loves the plasma, you can also aim it at injured sections.
