Awesome job Bellerophon. The Titans look amazing. Supporting Knights as well. The bases look great but I thought that it is a snowy theme rather than sand, but then I read your description.

I am this week starting on my Legio as I finally got some of the Titans I have ordered over a month ago!
I got a Warlord and a box of Acastus which I think are going to be the first ones to go.
As for the Legio I was thinking of going for the Traitors - Fureans, as I like the background and the colour scheme.
Supporting knights will most likely be one of the official 'befriended' households.

Some great stuff in here everybody - I love those hounds, Winterdyne, the grimy coldshroud Acastus looks very cool, and I'm enjoying seeing all the printed minis too.

I jumped into AT recently after resisting for quite some time. I'm doing Legio Metalica, with knight support from both Lakar and Krast (because they both fit and I thought they both look cool). So far I've built the two Reavers and two Warhounds from the starter box, and used Lancers to test my Krast and Lakar schemes, just because I've ended up with a good number of them. Today I've been weathering, applying some streaking grime and really trying to make them look like they've been slogging through this dusty desert for quite a while.



(Sharing more photos over in my P&M Blog, but didn't want to overwhelm this thread!)

Wow, those are lovely

Whipped up a generic "unknown xenos" for the beast hunt scenario in the molech book. Basic idea was to randomize the attack profile and choose a model accordingly that sorta fits that. In the book the scenario is basically for knights so we just sorta ported out how the beasts work and tossed that into one of our 1350pt games. We may also modify how the beasts select targets so that titan won't activate them but they will attack a titan if there is no other target once activated. Basic idea was for our game, as a secondary "big game hunt" whoever killed the most beasts got 1vp. So it wasn't the focus but it was a fun little sideshow. For the "unknown xenos" I gave them a falt 5+ against melee/shooting just to make them a bit more survivable, critical hits still one shot them.

As for the beasst models, the d&d primed stuff has a lot of really great minis that fit the scale well enough. I also got to use a squig and given the scale its a "giant squig" so really happy about that.







The beasts of Molech

This weekend I've been printing some tiny marines for my bases and to use for Epic games. I'm always surprised by how good the prints turn out, but in this case it's kind of ridiculous:





I've also painted one base, to see how they look finished:




Been asked for actual size:

@Albertorius: very nice! Are those from the galactic crusaders set or some other file?

Kudos for painting f'n stripes that small too!

Indeed! Printed at 0.02microns using water washable resin.

Ahahaha, thanks! ^^

...I probably wouldn't do it for a whole army, at least not right from the start xD

the Cataphractii look great sooo tiny.

Spoiler:

Those look fantastic! The detail is really really good,

I love those tiny marines. The prints came out great, and they've taken the paint really well.

Enjoying those table shots Crablezworth.

Glad you guys liked my Metalica. Got a fair number more to be working on, I'll make sure to keep sharing them!

Mmmm... I must get myself a decent resin printer. The 1st gen sparkmaker I have was... cheap. That's about all I can say for it. What machine you using Albertorius?

I'm interested as well, been thinking about it for a while.

Elegoo Mars and Anycubic Photon. Both are essentially the same, and can print really intricate details.

Fantastic detail on those marines.

I've had a lot of very good results printing out nicely detailed Epic scale miniatures on a Mars Elegoo...

Just got back from my buddy, printed me up a cargo hauler, warehouse and some really detailed terminators, the individual missiles can be seen, crazy. Really happy with the warehouse, look big enough for armigers and smaller stuff and its a really nice big los blocker. The ship fits the vanguard landing pad perfectly, also fits epic rhinos and AT shipping crates perfectly. Debating between painting it as marines or more of a civilain cargo look. Also gave the warbringer a warlord head, looks way better.


Also noticed the cityscape and ruinscape terrain from dropzone is on sale right now 33% off https://ttcombat.com/collections/dropzone-commander/products/ruinscape

I picked up the cityscape second hand and its great but way too "clean". The ruinscape looks a lot more worn down, definitely wish I had that version.

Oh, hey, I also did those termies ^^. They are fantastic!

Finally made a start on basing the battle force. Will probably end up as the common golf course theme as its what Princeps and Scions do in their spare time.

Yesterday I had a bit of fun playing with the little guys, tempting other folks at the club to join in the fun









Also had a proper 1250 point game to show the ropes for a pal with beautiful Defensor force and shoved them into the swamp.

They look so good on the table, nice setup Sherrypie.

Thanks Racer, that's the hope

That looks beautiful

Do you feel that the new size of the Titans affects gameplay when using them for more, let's say, "epic" games?

Cheers and nah, the Epic community uses them just fine. Just use a bit taller terrain here and there.

Nice to know, because that's precisely what I'm going to do xD.

My pick poison is Epic 40k, though, so I probably should reread them anyways ^^

How do you deal with one side having nuTitans and the other having the old metal (or the even older plastic) ones?

I bring everything, so that won't be a problem.

Wouldn't personally be too bothered anyway. Sure the new engines are taller and wider, but in the end they still move the same and shoot just as far. There's probably some gamey shenaningans that can be pulled by being larger or smaller, respectively, but that's often the case in Epic anyway. E:A as an example is agnostic on basing, just giving the players limits within which you can use round, square, rectangular strips or what ever you wish and each has its ups and downs (easier to control area, harder to bring together into assaults etc.)

That was going to be my next question too!

Does anyone have pics of the new Imperial Titans next to the old Eldar and Ork Titans and Gargants?

The Chaos ones are going to look smaller - but that will soon be 'solved' via New AT ('soon' being a relative term here).

I imagine the Ork ones will look fine - especially the Mega-Gargant.

I thinking it will only be the Eldar Titans that look a little smallish next to them?

And maybe the Tyranid ones?

Anyway, pics would be helpful!

Oh, not a "little" I'm afraid... a whole lot ^^

The current Reaver is equivalent to the old Imperator Titan:



...whereas the old titans are tiny side to side with their counterparts (don't have an old Warlord, unfortunately):




Basically, old Warhounds are the size of questoris knights, and reavers are about the same height as Lancers.

Seeing as the rest of the line was of the same size, well...

Hmmm...

I think I'll just stick to my old Imperial and Xenos Titans for games of Epic then!

The difference is just too much.

Of course, I did lose my old Warhounds, so, I've got no choice there!

And BTW, that is a very nice Imperator!

He's in great condition!

Was he in your gaming stash for all this time, or did you recently acquire him?
