Supe robot gangster #1 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hey all! Thought I’d share my progress for my legio Astorum, also known as the Warp Runners. I’m building a myrmidon maniple, which will look like this when completed. Warlord Titan Twin bellicosa volcano cannons Carapace apocalypse missile launchers Warlord Titan Twin Mori quake cannons Carapace apocalypse missile launchers Warlord Titan Macro-Gatling blaster Arioch power claw Carapace paired Gatling blasters Reaver Titan Laser blaster Reaver power fist Carapace apocalypse missile launcher Reaver Titan Laser blaster Gatling blaster Carapace warp support missile rack I will also be doing a few knight banners. I’m not sure what house meshes well (both fluff and colour wise) with Astorum. I’m thinking Vyronii or Coldshroud, only because they have transfers already. But I’m open to suggestions! Pics incoming once I figure out how to load them from my phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Liking the Maniple. Which Warlord will be your Princeps Senioris? Also, good to see a fellow Loyalist. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supe robot gangster #1 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 I’m undecided yet. Either the quake or bellicosa warlords I’m thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Wow - a Myrmidon? The heavy hitters are here! Good luck with your project man, I will be following this one closely! :) Warp Runners too! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Love the fluff and background for the Warp Runners. Paint scheme is cool too. I'm with Semper - a Myrmidon is impressive. The firepower will be hard to oppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Yeah imagine all those Warlords splitting fire and first firing, the battlefield will be a crazy place to be... I tend to think the trick is with the Reavers... the have so much responsibility to keep the big guys from being outflanked, I’d actually keep them behind the Warlords for the entire battle...

Supe robot gangster #1 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Haha call me crazy, but I’m also lining up a venator light maniple! Made up of the following Reaver Titan Carapace apocalypse missile launcher Volcano cannon Reaver power fist Warhound Titan Plasma blast gun Vulkan mega Bolter Warhound Titan As above Warhound Titan Turbo laser destructor Inferno cannon Warhound Titan As above :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Well you are crazy! :P The Venator looks good! The inferno cannon though... two may be too many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supe robot gangster #1 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Replace it maybe with another Vulkan? I guess I could just have one of them rocking double plasma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achinadav Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I really like the idea of a light maniple, I'm waiting for the 'hounds to come out. But I'm also assuming that the first supplement will have a 'hounds only maniple. So will be starting out with four 'hounds. Who needs the big guys? Not sure how two of them will be armed, and I'm planning some sonic weapon conversions. What was my point? Oh yeah, one of them with mega bolter & inferno cannon and the other with dual plasma blasters. I'm risk averse in real life, so I'm going to live vicariously through tiny plastic versions of giant robots Join me in inflicting carnage on your own god engines!

Supe robot gangster #1 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Very very wip. Please excuse potato quality. It’s just a test pic to test it I can get it to work here from my phone! Edit: success! It worked! I’ll take some more pics of what I’ve got assembled so far! I’m picking up the rest of my maniple on Saturday so I can get down to business then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 A thing about the Reavers is, they always look angry! Looking good so far man, any particular problems so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supe robot gangster #1 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 I realised after I’d assembled it I’d put the feet on the wrong legs... also the little connectors between the feet and lower legs never seem to fit right and impact on how the armour plates sit on the legs. I didn’t have any issues with my warlord though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Yeah, the toes of the Reaver seem tricky... Fantastic pose though! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supe robot gangster #1 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Haha thanks :p fits with the overall theme of all my armies over various game systems ( they are all connected somehow) I might go into further details on a proper log in the forge if I can muster the will to do so :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I love the land raider! Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achinadav Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 He could use the Raider as a skateboard Or maybe two as skates. Good to see people using the posability with the legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Black Blood Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Great pose, for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parweke Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I think the reavers feet can be in one position only? I have to check when I assemble mine tomorrow. great pose, I might have to do something similar (but I dont have those mini tanks so it will be rocks or something something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I do love the blue and yellow, especially on Reavers. Looking great so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supe robot gangster #1 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thanks for the love so far guys! Here’s some early shots of my two other titans. Again just a quick pic to show what I’ve got! My as yet unnamed warlord My second reaver (surprisingly also unnamed :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parweke Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I had to check before I go to bed. In the Reaver instructions the feet parts are shown in a wrong position. The small pistons? will not line correctly with the leg part unless the lone toe is facing forward. edit: but seeing that picture above I might be wrong about it. have to figure it out tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supe robot gangster #1 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 It looks like unless you have the whole leg titled really far forward they don’t line up properly. It’s very odd. I’ll have a test on my third reaver to see exactly what position it needs to be in to work properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 This is gaining momentum man, I’m very excited t po your unnamed Titans! :D The Reaver’s toes appear to take Legendary proportions of complexity - I sure know what to look out for when the time comes! Your Maniple is taking shape nicely! Name them already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supe robot gangster #1 Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 A thought. I found an old model of a custom sculpted reaver I got a few years ago (pics in coming) painted as legio Xestobiax. It made me wonder if I should re-do what I’ve got done n the purple/white/ gold of Xestobiax or keep with Astorum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
