sunspear Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 If this is in the wrong spot forgive me. I have been looking at AT since all the leaks started. I’m seriously interested in the game and as I think about it and the hobby side of it gets my mind working, I have a question. The knights are individual nobles but I have seen some box art and it seems that the Titan and knights are all the same color or heraldry. So how would you paint up your AT force? As individual knight houses or are there several knights and or titans that can all bear the same heraldry and colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I would personally choose a Titan Legio and a Knight Household separately. Bonus points if you pick two that actually fought by each other's side during the Heresy and beyond. This would probably mean they're tied by a common denominator, such as a shared Forge World but even just what side their on will suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunspear Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Duskraider- I tend to agree with you on that. I like keeping to the fluff but I don’t have a lot of knowledge on Knight households and the legios. Would the knights all have their own separate heraldry, meaning each Knight is a different paint scheme or do you mean all the knights the same and the Titan different?

DuskRaider Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 All the Knights from the same Household, all the Titans from the same Legio. So for instance, you want to play Legio Gryphonnicus... all your Titans would be Gryphonnicus. Your logical choice for a Knight Household would probably be House Cadmus as both Legio Gryphonnicus and House Cadmus are supplied by / owe fealty to Forge World Gryphonne IV. Knights wouldn't use a Legio scheme and vice versa (though some may be similar such as Legio Mortis and House Atrax). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 You can do it pretty much in every way you like, although some Legios/Houses will tend to use one thing over the other. - Freeblades. Paint them as you want. Example for this would be Traitor Legio Tempestus Freeblades. Not really a fan of this, as you will have units (called Banners) of Knights, so having an unifying scheme is great. - Knight House Scheme. Pick a House scheme from GW/FW, or create your own. Paint all your Knights of the same banner in the same colour scheme. - Intered Knights. Pick a Titan Legion scheme and use it for both real Titans and Knights of your army. Example for this would be again Traitor Legio Tempestus Knights. I will paint two main Houses (Vyronii and Malinax) with some Legios getting an intered Knight Banner (-> Tempestus, maybe Fureans).

Sandlemad Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 On the interred knights thing, it definitely is a way to have your knights' scheme match that of your titan legion, if that's what you want. There are different levels of matching though: some legion-bonded knights might just have a shoulderplate with the same colour, some might bear the titan legion's symbol, some might fully/near-fully adopt their scheme. Not all of this will work on the scale Adeptus Titanicus works on but you have options. From the knights codex: "Occasionally, the Adeptus Mechanicus will decree that such seconded detachments must remain with a Titan Legion permanently; in these cases, the Nobles change their vows of allegiance and heraldry to reflect the legion they now serve." One other thing worth bearing in mind that there are also a lot of red knight houses and red titan legions because of ties to particular Mechanicum forge worlds. These are fairly frequently allied in the background too. Case in point: the knights of House Raven are closely allied to Metalica and so fight alongside the Legio Metalica. Or House Taranis on Mars with Legio Ignatum. All red, albeit with variation in the amount of secondary colour (white, black, yellow usually) used. It's an easy and background-friendly way to make your whole force match, if that's the style you're after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunspear Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thanks all for the info, I wasn’t up on the fluff of titans and knights. I was going to paint all the knights in different heraldry but I may not now after reading this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You totally can in terms of fluff - it's up to you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomMarine Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 My knights will be a black and royal purple quartered scheme ( nod to voice of Mars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
