Mandragola Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 For your colours I think I'd suggest something fairly similar to what you've got. Maybe swap the green for something that looks different but doesn't clash with it completely. Orange, maybe? And perhaps have your trim something like Grey Knight steel.

Mendi Warrior Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Wonderful warbringer! I love head number 3 as well. As for the knights, maybe some black as a secondary colour? Maybe yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthier Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Cheers everyone! I'd already done purple/white on all my normal knights, but black does always work well! In the end I bit the bullet and went for yellow as the main colour on the third knight. Overall I'm not too concerned how well the freeblades visually go with my main Legio as long as they don't have the same scheme - they're freeblades after all, and probably due to die very quickly. So, now I'm back to all AT models painted again. Other types of Cerastus Knights aside, I wonder what's coming out next.

Fajita Fan Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Dude how are you doing the tiny recess shades on those knights, they look great and I can’t do that. Is that a tiny brush and you keep loading it or is that a bigger brush you’re just controlling really well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthier Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Cheers guys. I'm just using a pair of old brushes as I need to buy new ones. Nothing special, one's effectively a standard and the other is finer. Both started out as medium layer brushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 The yellow and black looks very good. I’ve been seriously considering Coldshroud for my knights. They have a nice scheme and transfers in the box, which should help. Might do a test one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanthier Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 It's been a very long while, but the new Warmaster has me incredibly excited to add several to the legio - so much so, in fact, that I mocked up the colours on it. I think it looks pretty good! Brother Dallo, malika666, LameBeard and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Borak Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 What techno-sorcery is this?! I wish I knew how to do this like this :D Great thread. I've seen your conversions a few time on the internet. Had to go back and look at the whole thread! Great looking titans and great covnersions on general! How do you do the white?

Xanthier Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 Cheers guys! The white is corax white spray from GW, and panel lining with thinned agrax. Highlights/scratches in a pure white of choice, I tend to use Vallejo Rotten White or S75 White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Borak Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Really? The white is THAT simple? Egads......... What have I been doing with my life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthier Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Yeah, makes smooth panels a lot quicker. I don't own an airbrush, otherwise I'd probably use that instead. Over christmas someone got me a box of cerastus as the knew I like Titanicus, so I figured I'd paint them up quickly. Been a while, I'd practically forgotten how fine some of these details are. The whole horde of Cerastus lancers as they stand now - I still have a pair of building to paint up now, since I also dug out all my unmade terrain parts and spares and used them all, so I figure I'll see if I can do a quicker rattlecan job on those, since the previous buildings I painted had washes which seems impractical on larger buildings.

Mandragola Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Good to see you back on this board. The other day I was just thinking this board felt a bit quiet lately, so it’s great to see some people back, inspired by the preview of the new engine.

Xanthier Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Cheers everyone! It's good to be back Mandragola, it certainly feels like it's been a while. So we've seen how big the Warmaster is compared to a Warlord, but not how big it is compared to the relatively common Imperator conversions. So I took the Warmaster I'd photoshopped in my Legio Gloriam colours and placed it between the warlord Iudicii Aeterni, 'Eternal Judgement', and my Imperator Cedere Nescio, 'I Know Not How to Yield'. Hope this is useful for those of you looking to use the Warmaster to convert up an Imperator, or scrounge parts from! noigrim, Interrogator Stobz, Mendi Warrior and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gattopardo Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 The Warlord does look amusingly titchy in that picture! Makes you realise just how big an official model of the Imperator would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthier Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Indeed! Someone just made this, and it shows that the lower legs likely need to be longer and maybe a bit bulkier. hell, a 15-20% size increase on the Warmaster's lower leg design would be ideal.

noigrim Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) ok no, the old imperator was twice a warlord, not thrice Edited January 28, 2021 by noigrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthier Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) That pic isn't using the old beatleback warlords though, which the Imperator was closer in time to than than MK 3 metal warlords there. Plus None of the old epic titans are particularly exact in scale. Plus on that 2.5x scaled pic above, the Imperator is barely above 2x Warlord height including spired, nowhere near 3x. Axel's work here shows that the Imperator really was huge compared to the Warlords of it's era. http://www.axelfendersson.co.uk/blog/2010/01/amtl/ Edited January 28, 2021 by Xanthier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noigrim Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) They may have upscaled it a bit https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/NuGfCXJxYAf6gHED.jpg None of the epic stuff is scaled to the bettleback Edited January 29, 2021 by noigrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthier Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 True. I did originally use that artwork as reference for Cedere Nescio, but as a couple of people pointed out on FB, in that pic the Emperor and Warlord's knees are at the same level, either implaying that the Imperator has very, very stubby shins and tiny feet, or is walking along a deeper channel.

Noserenda Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I much prefer your (Amazing model btw!) Imperator's scale tbh, im sure we can find sources coming up any size for titans as they have been a bit lax about that over the years but a smooth hull progression from Imperator > Warmaster > Warlord would be a stronger choice when it comes to actually making models.(Though the Cathedral can be a bit taller) I always figure the original STC for the Imperator had a more practical carapace but some file corruption or crazy Magos popped the Cathedral up there, well, that or they stuck guns on a walking Oil rig or something :D Xanthier 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
