nurglez Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hi there, long time since I been on these forums, though I have been lurking around this forum since the GM box came out (and I bought one). However it had remained unused until recently. Once the warhounds were out I assembled those, then the reaver, then I had a small practice game and was hooked... So I bought 2 more Warhounds to complete a Venator maniple. I have assembled 2 knights so far, so still have 4 knights and 2 warlords from the GM box to assemble. Regarding Legio, I really dont fancy any of the schemes out there, and was actually considering my own scheme, so that is all very much WIP (if I ever get around to painting them...). So, I play x wing at the moment, and have a bunch of greenstuffworld rotational magnets, for attaching the ships to the pegs (lets you make them look cool mid battle and also saves time on trying to find pegs that fit snug). I decided to try and use these on my titans. shaved off the bottom of the apocalypse launcher and attached a magnet (ball bearing glued in the reaver turret hole). Lasers have a smaller magnet, as it fit quite nicely into the socket for the weapon, and is still pretty sturdy. And the bearings those magnets come with fit pretty well in place of the arms. Current plans are to assemble the 4 knights, and probably 1 of the warlords. plus to go over the venator maniple and sort out all flash I've left on, and to maybe eventually paint them.

Fajita Fan Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 That actually looks really appropriate on the Warhound...I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dallo Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 That's quite the pack you've got yourself there nurglez. :o Your work with magnets looks pretty cool, though I'm curious how well the magnets themselves will take paint. Speaking of paint, you've said the schemes you've looked at don't really do it for you. Is there anything that you're looking for in a scheme that the official schemes don't seem to have? By all means, make a DIY scheme if that's your thing, but I'd be surprised if there is not a single Titanicus Legio that you like out of all of the existing schemes. What colours do you want to paint? Looking forward to seeing how you magnetise the Warlord. Keep up the good work. Dallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Welcome back nurglez! The rotational magnets are definitely a really cool addition: I'd toyed with using them, but wasn't too sure how they'd look when painted - although even then, metals aren't really going to be a problem. I think it works perfectly for them! Really look forward to seeing whatever Legio you decide to go with, custom or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Warrior Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Looks very nice. Seems absolutely perfect for the warhound. I have seen another attempt where the ball was put in the weapon's socket instead of the magnet as you did, I prefer yours. The guy magnetized the torso after the arms and had trouble having the magnet stay at the right place as the ones in the arms were stronger.

Captain Semper Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 A magnetisation masterclass! :tu: Those ball-joints seem to work miracles! This looks like a big project - so stay true to it and see it to the end! Have you decided on the Legio? or indeed the Knights' House? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 As I'm very much a gamer over a painter, this will be a slow burning project, more gaming will lead to a bigger desire to get them painted, so lets hope I can get some regular games in :D My gaming time is usually spent playing X wing, having fallen in love with it, due to painting a ship with pink trim thanks to a request from my girlfriend, I came up with a scheme that I have used on a few of my rebel ships, to tie them together (as the ships come prepainted, but often have different schemes or base coats). I'm quite heavily leaning towads painting my titans in this scheme, as it is quite easy for me to paint, and I quite like it. I'll try and get a spare armour plate painted up if I can, though base coating will have to wait for better weather ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I'm repainting a bunch of my Xwing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 So, finally managed to get my Warlord mostly assembled. converted up a quick macro gatling blaster, due to my love of miniguns (not the best as I couldnt manage to replace the powerpack with an ammo bin, due to it being way to much effort).

Fajita Fan Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I wanted to buy one of those models just for the plasma and miniguns until I did other stuff. It looks good on there and pairs with a volcano really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 That minigun looks great are the Turbo Lasers just the ones from the Warhound kit? They fit well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Great inspiration for adding the Turbo Laser destructors! I can't wait to get my Warlord now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 The turbo lasers are indeed the ones from the warhound. Im most likely gonna run the warlord with apocalypse launchers due to them being cheaper, and having better range, but i hadnt assembled them and wanted some weapons for the picture :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Yeah, all the components look the part - well done nurglez! :tu: Now time to add some paint! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
