RandomMarine Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Battlegroup box arrived today. Took a while deciding whether or not to make my own legion or follow a existing scheme. Decided to do my own they are going to mainly black and dark purple with deep blue accents an silver trim I'm in the process of generating background for them but they will be iron hand allies of some flavor to match my 30k army Building warhounds RN I'll post pics tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Black, purple, and blue sounds neat. You might want a brighter blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Warrior Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Nice colour scheme, eager to see your first steps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomMarine Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Good idea about on the lighter blue accents . Just finished building the sub assemblies and bases for the warhounds pics inbound Randomly my battle group box had a extra reaver legs and torso sprue so I don have to worry to much about :cussing up the legs. Any leftover bits will be used to base the warlord with a dead reaver or I'll see what extra I need to make a 2nd complete Reaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Warrior Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Cool. Sounds like you are missing the armour panels sprue and the weapons sprue to have an additional reaver. With the reaver new weapons sprue coming soon, you might not need a lot (it will have weapons and head). From the armour panels sprue of the complete reaver, you have extras for the carapace, the shoulders, and one knee. Seems, subject to double checking, you are basically missing the legs armour panels, the ones for the feet pistons, the top and back of the torso, the front and back crotch plates. You might want to check hobbytitan website, seems the bits you need would cost about USD24 (legs + torso + shoulders and plating bundles). Plus shipping and customs taxes if, like me, you are living outside of the US. Or, as you suggest, you can have the extra bits used for basing. You can even use them on several bases, or make a specific "destroyed reaver" base to use after your complete reaver is destroyed in battle (or, preferably, your opponent's reaver).

RandomMarine Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 All 4 titans are now tabletop ready . Just going back over them now doing weathering and greasing the pistons to do. I'll take some pics later when I get a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Good to see you here RandomMarine! Your colour scheme sounds promising - look fwd to it! :) Btw when you say “tabletop ready” you mean you finished them? All 4? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomMarine Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Base colours ,finished base, colour appropriate washes , some smaller details picked out and some light weathering . I haven't done the striping (waiting on template) or attached the arms to the warlord (waiting on magnets) I've had the last 8 days off work (paid leave and some owed lue time) so I've had plenty of hobby time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendi Warrior Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Very nice You eventually went for gold trim instead of silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomMarine Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yeah the silver looked really stark so went gold in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Warrior Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 It gives a "warmer" feel imho, I tend to prefer gold over silver (no bias at all ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
