I started a thread for my Xana II Mechanicum so I figured I would start one for their sister force my Titanicus force of Gore Crows!

 

Behold legio missing bits!  All fully magnetized.

 

 

But before I assembled any of the above I had to get my act together. And with a game like Titanicus that meant painting lots of gaming aids and putting them all in a little box! 

 

 

 

 

Then I started on the titans themselves. I use the same basic painting techniques of my Mechanicum force (see signature and read up if you like). Color scheme wise all I could find was a vague description that the main colors were black and white. So I just went with that, threw in some marble effect for giggles and that was that. I hope to get some full size 28mm titans in the future so these are a good practice bed for color layouts! 

 

I also carried over the black head with brass trim from my knights. The thinking is that the knights copy the titans.

 

Before base and oil wash.

 

After!

With, of course, matching House Malinax Knights.

Black and white with red bases looks great.

[Gore Crow]

That marble is good, looking forward to seeing more!

[DuskRaider]

I really hope we see Xana II - aligned rules soon. They should have some really unique stuff IMO. Models look great!

[Rolltonotdie]

They look really good in digging the classic knights as well!

[Mendi Warrior]

Lovely stuff! Eager to see more.

Thanks all!  

 

I have a 2nd warlord on the painting bench right now. I actually just finished putting the last gloss coat over the decals (usually do 2 coats to seal them down and level the surface). Once its dry I will be doing the enamel wash. 

 

I usually do the enamel washing only when I have a couple things to do at once because its kind of a pain to clean the airbrush afterward. So, expect some completed updates here and in my AdMech tread soon. Goal is to have the warlord and the other mini done by the end of the weekend! 

 

Next up on the paint bench for Titanicus is the armor panels for 4 Warhounds. . .curse you trim!!!!  Thankfully the skeletons and the weapons are basically done.

2nd Warlord complete. All my Titanicus stuff is just table top quality with maybe a little extra here or there. I want them to look good but I also want to finish them sometime in the next decade. 

 

 

 

 

Side by side. I think flipping the scheme turned out fantastic!

 

[Rabenga]

Neat!

[Mendi Warrior]

Super cool! 

[Chaeron]

Really like the scheme and the relative inversions - keep it coming!

[NiftyVT]

Finally finished up my Warhounds!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Great job on the Warhounds!
