Shovellovin Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I've finally started working on Adeptus Titanicus after having the models sit in my 'pile of shame' since the game was released. The Shadow & Iron book finally pushed me into working on the models. I had debated on creating a custom Legio but decided to go with Legio Praesagius since I recently read Black Book 5 - Tempest. I put the legs together and started painting the model before I realized that I had assembled the thighs backwards. Disaster! I suspect the issue was a scrap code was placed in the STC that I had for assembly which led to this unfortunate situation. Since I use Tamiya plastic cement I wasn't able to pry the pieces apart so I had to use a Dremel, whisper a prayer to the Omnissiah and get to work. Here is the beginning of Dominus Lux. I've only skimmed the rulebook. I've focused on reading the lore in the main AT rulebook, Titandeath and Shadow & Iron. I've magnetized the arms and shoulder mounted weapons so I can swap the loadouts. I'll stick to Praesagius' favored way of battle; long range and accurate but there may be a few black sheep in the Legio that want to get up close and personnel when fighting the Traitors. I'll be building a few more Warlord titans. I'm not sure if there is a Warlord only maniple or not. My buddy and I just play for fun so we aren't sticklers for the rules. I think it'd be fun to recreate the battle of the 9 Warlords on Ithraca. More to come!

Mendi Warrior Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Looking nice, eager to see the next steps and more of the carapace. Dry fit, dry fit, and dry fit again. And watch out for the Reaver's legs, if you plan on building some in the future, they are the trickiest of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 It's easy to miss the thigh because the knee joint looks backwards till you put the armor on. What's that custode in the background? I always play Eye Spy on peoples' desks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 I agree @Mendi Warrior; I had thought I had everything put together correctly but mistakes happen. I’ve heard that the Reavers can be a bear. I’ll be more diligent when I get around to purchasing some. @Fajita Fan - the ‘Custodes’ is a conversion that I purchased from Ingrimmson on Instagram. I’ll be posting pictures in the WIP thread that I have for my custom chapter with better photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Great to see a new plog appear. As you’ve just discovered, Titan legs are tricksy - so be very careful with assembling them! The Reaver kit is particularly awkward as it contains a lot of pieces that look like they work on either side, but which actually do not. When you build your first one, check that you get the feet on the correct sides and also note that the armour plates on the lower legs are right and left handed.

Cyrox Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Nice choice - Praesagious rules are solid and they look great too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to have a look at the different other plogs, there are quite a few tips and tricks scattered all around.

Shovellovin Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Will do, @Mendi Warrior. I like the work you're putting into your Legio. I've been plugging away on my warlord titan. GW did an excellent job on these models. I'm really liking how my warlord is coming along. I still need to do a ton of work on it but the basic colors are just about all applied.

Shovellovin Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) My buddy left his Mortis Warlord at my house. Thought I’d snag a picture of our two Warlords ready to face off. I still need to work on the base but I’m happy how this model turned out. I left room for Legio Praesagius specific decals when/if they are released. the next Warlord in the que. I haven’t played a game of Titanicus yet but I’ve heard that multiple Warlords are not competitive; I don’t mind. I think the Warlord model looks cool and I believe that Praesagius was supposed to field a lot of the larger titans. Another model that I’m working on. I obtained this and quite a few other models recently. Reaver model WIP.

Mandragola Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Lots of people think that Warlords aren't competitive. They're wrong, except for double-bellicosa warlords. Those really don't work because they overheat dreadfully and can't actually score kills since they can't target. All they're good for is killing knights. That's an interesting warhound. It looks like it wants to bite that rhino. Dark Bjoern 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Solid start! I really like the blue you've gone for especially. Is that a lighter blue sponged over a darker blue base coat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a lighter blue sponged over a darker blue base coat? Thank you, Dosjetka. I am painting the blue parts with Caledonia Sky, then using Drakenhoff Nightshade, then stippling Caledonia Sky back on top.

Fajita Fan Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The more I see stippling on titans the more I think it’s a good technique for models of this scale. It looks good on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Thank you, Gents. I'm making some solid progress on my second Warlord. Not being able to go out to bars, friend's homes, etc., sure has left me a lot of time to work on miniatures. I haven't named this one yet. Still a lot of work left to do on it.

Shovellovin Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thank you, All. I made some more progress on my models. I'm making some good progress on a Reaver Just need to do the base on this Warlord. Like the other, I left room for Praesagius decals if they are released by ForgeWorld. Added a plasma gun (haven't played yet so I'm not familiar with all of the weapon names) which I like because it adds a little color variety to the model.
