Brother Handro Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hi all, thought I'd stop posting and lurking everyone else's threads and post my own stuff, seems we've got a fledgling community going on in this corner of the forum!... I'm doing Legio Praesagius because I love the scheme and their odd, slightly dodgy low Gothic name, which makes you wonder how their story could have gone differently if they'd hung out with the Word Bearers just a little longer...and Legio Gryphonicus because it's a classic, timeless scheme that just...works. And they have more than the 12 engines Praesagius is apparently left with... Enough talk, pics!.... Arx Argenti [silver Fortress], the first engine I worked on, from out of box to completely finished in 6 days. (Which is like...witchcraft for me!) Also known as Thrice Blessed due to an unfortunate incident in which I built the lower legs on backwards an only noticed on the fourth day of painting... Dux Ferrum [iron Duke], a good, solid name for a good, solid legio! Needs weathering & decals, but I smashed the glass airbrush jar I use for applying varnish, so it's on hold for now... I'm one of those who paints titans on the sprue...I've never painted anything like this before, but I just found it a lot easier, and way more natural if you're using an airbrush, and you're gonna be painting your chassis separately anyway... I've got 3 Reavers underway (2 Gryphonicus, 1 Praesagius), but I'm in the middle of a weighty undertaking, nearly 4500 points of Sons of Horus for a campaign in December. I presume the imminent Warhound release will keep my motivation strong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Ah no way! My brother served on HMS Iron Duke so I was going to use that name! Seriously though, great to have you aboard. Keep us appraised with your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Handro Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Haha, oh well, great minds an' all that!...I just thought it was a really fitting name for Gryphonicus. I planned on using it straight away, and then I got the rulebook and lo and behold; 'Iron Regent'! So it seems there must be something in the water...

Captain Semper Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Dux Ferrum rocks! Very crisp work mate, very tidy... congrats! And the "dirtying" of the whites on the Are Argenti is amazing! Very inspirational to see so much talent here! Look forward for your two Legios to grow! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
