  1. I totally forgot to post my completion pic, even though I finished my vow a while back.... Probably gonna stick at just the one vow then....
  2. @Eternal Despair; no idea tbh, I've got a penchant for grey since I airbrushed all my Gryphonicus AT stuff, and there is a nice illustration of a Castellax in Gryphonicus heraldry, but that wouldn't be very traitorous, would it?! So just grey and white markings, very neutral so they can be loyalist or traitor as and when needed. Unless anyone can recommend any grey forgeworlds?
  3. I, Brother Handro, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Age of Darkness - Traitors and vow to complete Mechanicum Legio Cybernetica units totalling 1240 points. Archmagos Dominus - 205 Machinator Array Conversion Breamer Castellax Battle Automata x4 - 530 2 x Darkfire cannon 2 Flamers 4 x Enhanced Targeting Array Vorax Battle Automata x3 - 195 Thanatar-Calix class Siege Automata - 310 Enhanced Targeting Array
  4. I have completed my vow, task 3, a full Axiom maniple of the Legio Gryphonicus! The Warlord Titan Lux Incandens accompanied by the Reavers Pugnis Rex (L) and Grey Angel ( R ), and the Warhounds Fides Impudens (L) and Vox Stridens ( R ) I haven't really got time to weather them yet, going to HH Throne of Skulls in May and need to build and paint a fresh 1000 points of Sons of Horus in 7 weeks.... Will get around to posting individual pics in my Titan thread...
  5. Just a bit of progress on my vow, the Axiom Maniple plus an extra Reaver for efficiency's sake...everything has grey and yellow, blue and white to come! Hopefully broken the back of the airbrush work, then it'll be just endless armour trim to go...
  6. I, Brother Handro, do pledge to paint a full Axiom maniple (Task 3) by the 15th of April in the colours of the Legio Vanilla Gryphonicus! Warlord - Lux Incandens (Incandescent Light) Reaver - Pugnis Rex (Warrior King) Reaver - Grey Angel Warhound - Fides Impudens (Unashamed Loyalty) Warhound - Vox Stridens (Strident Voice)
  7. Great work Captain! I knew the Krytos scheme would come good in the end! For the record, always take one of the ankle pieces and dry fit in in all eight positions whilst your feet are drying, in case you need to re-pose. It is a bit of an oversight by GW not to warn people that 'overdoing' the pose will lead to ankles and/or shinplates that don't fit. Also, in my experience, a hairdryer will unstick plastic glue!
  8. I echo Capt. Semper, super brave, and great airbrushing! The Firemasters are definitely one of the best-named legios. I've ground to a halt with B&C being down, other projects, imminent Ork releases, so keep it going!
  9. The trim sticks on there without issue? I guess if you varnish it afterward you should be ok but that still sketches me out Not sure what you're asking, mate, but I just paint (airbrush) the whole panel, trim and all, on the sprue, then when I'm done, clip them all off, file down any lumps, then reapply the trim metals to the spots where the panels were clipped off. I do varnish afterwards but that's just for decal application and protection. It probably wouldn't be worth the effort if the airbrushed parts connected to the sprue, as it'd be really troublesome to re-airbrush the clipped-off areas. OT: Nice to see you back in the game, Captain!
  10. I painted both my Warlords' armour on the sprue, trim and all, it's muuuuch less fiddly, and planning on doing the same with my Reavers. Somebody saw it on my Instagram and couldn't believe it! Once you're done you clip off and clean up the connecting parts with a file and go back in with your trim colour. It's the work of two minutes, no bother!
  11. Don't give in, Captain! I realised 4 days into painting that I had built the lower legs backwards and wanted to throw it out of the window, but with some help I fixed it and now it's my pride and joy. It can be salvaged!
  12. Looking forward to this! I'm totally in love with the models, the little colour/pattern variations you can do between titans, and as you say, it's nice to gain confidence with something new - I've fully magnetised all of mine and broken out the airbrush too! As long as you've got some masking tape, I'd vote for Legio Krytos; really cool scheme, bad guys, sounds psuedo-Greek, and they hang around with the Iron Warriors, who are also fairly Greek...ish... I'm tempted to do them myself once I finish all my pesky loyalists...
  13. I'm trying to build a 3000 point list for a narrative campaign, so no named characters. At the moment it revolves around The Black Reaving; a one-two punch of Scouting Seekers and Breachers in distraction LR Proteuses, Deep Striking Praetor/Justaerin and as many Reavers as I can stuff in a Storm Eagle.
