Yesterday, my rules set and the first Warlord titan arrived. I immediately started building it, and it's been a blast. I am planning to build the full maniple of Legio Tempestus during the Schim of Mars, meaning the following list (weapon loadouts subject to change upon re-reading Mechanicum). Later on, when more weapon options and types for knights are available, I might add a few support banners from House Taranis. Warlord || Deus Tempestus || Indias Cavalerio, the Storm Lord Sunfury Plasma Annihilator Arioch Power Claw Paired Laser Blasters (Carapace) Status: DONE Warlord || Tharsis Hastatus || Vlad Suzak Belicosa Volcano Cannon Belicosa Volcano Cannon Apocalypse Missile Launchers (Carapace) Status: DONE Reaver || Arcadia Fortis || Jan Mordant Laser Blaster Laser Blaster Turbo Laser Destructor (Carapace) Status: DONE Reaver || Metallus Cebrenia || Kel Sharaq Gatling Blaster Laser Blaster Apocalypse Missile Launcher (Carapace) Status: DONE Warhound || Raptoria || Zafir Kasim Vulcan Mega-bolter Plasma Blastgun Status: DONE Warhound || Vulpus Rex || Basek Turbo Laser Destructor Turbo Laser Destructor Status: DONE Warhound || Astrus Lux || Lamnos Vulcan Mega-bolter Inferno Gun Status: DONE Points total: 2280 Additionally, I have the following three engines out of the project scope: Reaver || Lator Bronte Gatling Blaster Reaver Titan Power Fist Apocalypse Missile Launcher (Carapace) Status: DONE Reaver || unnamed Melta Cannon Reaver Titan Chainfist Apocalypse Missile Launcher (Carapace) Status: Boxed, weapons built Warhound || Lupus Rex Turbo Laser Destructor Plasma Blast Gun Status: Primed, basecoated Adjusted points total: 3125 This is going to be a log of my progress, and yesterday evening I was able to finish the magnetization, posing and skeletal build of Deus Tempestus. It's a great kit, with mold lines and gates cleverly located so that even the cleanup (which I normally despise) work isn't too bad. Tonight, I'm going to be basecoating and detailing the base. I'm going for the original colour scheme, with cobalt blue plating, silver trimmings, and black and white areas to break it up a little. Feedback is greatly appreciated, and here's a question to you: Does anyone have a recipe for cobalt blue, preferably with GW or Vallejo Model Air colours? I'm too deep in my comfort zone of dark green, bone and black, so I never experimented with blues. Thank you in advance.

Hey B&C! I'm back with something worth sharing my Traitor Titan Legion: Legio Inferos Canibus the Hell Hounds. So I started a little earlier than most building scenery using a terminator as a knight for scale and hoping for the best. I did move during starting the project so some items are at work but hopefully I'll be able to get better pictures now the full range is up and going. So first off the Warlord Titan sporting my Legio scheme. (He is finished with magnetised arms since this picture and I'll get pictures soon). Here is some to scale scenery ive made eBay bought barrels with a Skyshield Landing Shield and a set of custom Servohaulers. (Skitarii bits for the Servohaulers) And for something to block line of sight my Titan repair station with part of a spare armiger warglaive frame. And what I think is a first on the internet! My Proto Kytan Daemon Engine copying the original lord of skulls top on knight legs, I went with AT sized legs with blood warriors top half and bits. I hope you guys like them and ill keep you up dated with pictures as I have them. -Noctem Cultor

Im a long time lurker of ye olde Bolter and Chainsword and several years ago finally got on board and started posting and making many great friends in the community and participating in every event I could. Rite around the turn of 8th and the beginning of the new age of GW things in my personal life got hectic and being a man of many hobbies I ended up shelving my projects and slipping into the warp to pursue one of my other passions blacksmithing which I definitely am still pursuing but i've started to get the hobby itch back and decided to get back to it converting and painting and such. Unfortunately the image hosting site I used turned out to have an expiration date and all my old posts are now lacking photos. Looks like it's time for a fresh start. Previously I focused primarily on my beloved salamanders and will still feature them quite heavily but it's time I branch out as i've really come to appreciate the background of many other chapters both loyalist and traitors thanks to the astonishing works of the writers over at black library and many of the Frater here. My plan currently is to convert up some fresh characters and finish up some I left mid project. This thread will likely be extremely varied because since I don't really play I model what i want to model that day not what i need to finish a unit. ++Planned Loyalists++ -Salamanders -Space Wolves -Iron Hands -Raven Guard -Carcharodons -Custodes -Deathwatch -Imperial Knights -Astra Militarum ++Planned Traitors++ -Death Guard -World Eaters -Emperors Children -Thousand Sons -Night Lords -Traitor Guard -Traitor Knights and Mechanicus ++Xenos++ -Ork -Tau -Tyranid ++Adeptus Titanicus++ (As of yet undecided) Loyalist Forgeworld (As of yet undecided) Traitor Forgeworld ++Also++ -Alpha Legion -Maybe eventually some of the Necromunda gangs
