Montuhotep Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Dark Green with the gold/yellow trim will look very strong together IMHO - this ought to be good. I take it you have an airbrush/spraygun? Would be the best way to get a flat basecoat with no brushmarks on that beast. Yes, I'm talking the Titan, not your cat.....

ChaosPhoenix Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yes it would look better with an airbrush, but I have none. The GW spray gun is no option for me, it didn't work well on tanks / drop pods. At least not with Orkhide Shade, which I use as undercoat for Dark Angels Green. The gun was plugging very often and the orkhide shade was "moving" on the tanks, so it created a thick layer at the bottom and thin at the top. Even when I used very thin layers at all... then again, if I took more breaks, the gun was malefunctioning too often. So.. I have to take a brush ;-/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139336-tome-of-creation-chaosphoenix-wip/page/2/#findComment-2054255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosPhoenix Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 So here are mmannny photos, I've shot some more, but this topic is bursting with photos and I'm sorry, if I overdid it. The rest of the photos is > here <. I was right about the reaver. The second leg was no problem after I had experience with the first one. The Reaver as whole was very easy now. But I still had production related issues. I've had serveral 2mm - 3mm deep, thick mold lines at some places which weren't that nice. I was not sure, if I should send it back, but I was a weeeee bit too greedy to finally finish it. I'll send the next Titan back *cough*. I've made one mistake. One of the ventilation shafts on the back is slant. I fixed it as usual with super glue and in the instant nano second I put it on, it was hard and immovable. Whoops. So any advice on the painting scheme? I want to do it like the Forgeworld Titan, but Dark Angels Green - Gold - Yellow instead of blue. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3762695156_b5fdd9b6de.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3762692776_8eb6098580.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3476/3762690660_816e25ea84.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2526/3761890125_c61fce30e6.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2655/3762686434_c6413efa99.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2606/3761885425_a171bb2feb.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3441/3762681760_238c5376ec.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2665/3762679260_e62df08572.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3430/3762675506_bbcb9598da.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3510/3762677014_86a30accb1.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2437/3761875105_5cd1c1b7de.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2612/3762672550_99360dc8b3.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2467/3761867417_b704f5c197.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2637/3761865647_5a6ed8730e.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2644/3761863995_3a2284fd67.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2438/3761862301_f0eb27075a.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2517/3762655112_5346ee2647.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2424/3762653094_bbd59be426.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2522/3761858429_2259e7e4f5.jpg?v=0 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139336-tome-of-creation-chaosphoenix-wip/page/2/#findComment-2062467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Wow, I'm impressed. I hoping to get one of these bad boys pretty soon to, so it's nice to see someone else give it a go. So any advice on the painting scheme? I want to do it like the Forgeworld Titan, but Dark Angels Green - Gold - Yellow instead of blue. Why not do some research on other Titan Legions first, then decide on a colour scheme? This should help.

Why not do some research on other Titan Legions first, then decide on a colour scheme? This should help. Thanks :wallbash:. I'm doing my own scheme this time, although it's very close the Legio Astraman. Maybe I'll give the Titan their heraldry, if the Fluffgods allow it. The construction of a titan is real fun, I would do more, if they had a different pricetag. It too bad, that especially the Titan had worst material quality I've ever got from Forgeworld. Then again, it was ok and I've had only nearly perfect models from Forgeworld before. I'm thinking about a name too, but thats not easy. Does anyone of you have a suggestion? Accepted languages are english, german and latin. Today I'll start painting the arms, because I want to have them ready before I attach them to the torso.

commander alexander Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I must admit, you have much better/detailed pics of the reaver unpainted than FW, much better. Also love some of the conversions.

ChaosPhoenix Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 I must admit, you have much better/detailed pics of the reaver unpainted than FW, much better. Also love some of the conversions. That was the problem when deciding on buying a Reaver Titan. Most models look good, if they're really well painted. I'm a mediocre painter, I want at least the model itself to look good ;-). And I didn't know, if I like the Warhound or the Reaver Titan more. By now I'm happy, I chose the Reaver. It looks really great. If you want anymore detail shots, just tell me. It will get it's trial by fire in the final stage of our local GW's campaign on saturday. Many players will be there, so I'm limited with about 2000pts. The Reaver takes up 1450pts, so I'll get him a nice escort. In the first place, I wanted the Reaver to be escorted by Baneblades, but I have't got enough points for that. I'll work something out though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139336-tome-of-creation-chaosphoenix-wip/page/2/#findComment-2063075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ciaphas Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hail frater, Nice to see another Dark Angels player here. As for an escort....how about letting him be escorted by dreadnoughts ?

If I had time, I would make a Battlestandard for the Titan, which would be carried by one of the dreads.

ChaosPhoenix Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Damn, I suck at painting a good gold without an airbrush. The next Titan will be more beautiful, this will be his ugly twin.

ChaosPhoenix Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 I know it's heresy. I know it's not fluffy. But after planing some inqusitorial Baneblades, I'm thinking about switching my Morningstar scheme to a Inquisitorial one. The funny thing is, it's "on the way" anyway. I paint the trims golden and re-basecoat the armorplates black, which makes it looking like the big =]I[= itself. I can paint the black parts still green afterwards.. Has anyone an advise on making non-painted =]I[= symbols?

ChaosPhoenix Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 and rreeessssurreeeccttedd! Sorry as always. I had a lot of none-gw-things to do. But a few days ago, I started making my gaming table. I even had the first two games in months. It's my first try at terrain-painting and here we go: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2701/4184841481_e165bc8a2b_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2719/4184842623_36b670d21e_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4047/4184845523_e2b07885d8_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2799/4185604630_00fd59724d_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2508/4184847031_617bd10260_b.jpg Here are some more photos. I had serveral accidents while making the terrain. For example not waiting until the water effect dries or a girlfriend poking here finger into the ice while giggling and saying something like "weeee cool. ooops."

legless_al Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Loving the board, I feel you paint my titan's left leg kept buckling, you need lots of pinning and time. make sure you dont glue it all together before painting, I did legs torso arms and head all separate, other than that.

Other han that, it's very nice, liking your board too. I thought so too, but there was a huge "FL" and "FR" carved in the toes. Front left, front right ;). Do you mean the toes or the piston guards? Compare it to the last picture on the first page. If I did something wrong, well.. then I have a heretical design and might die for it :) Loving the board, I feel you paint my titan's left leg kept buckling, you need lots of pinning and time. make sure you dont glue it all together before painting, I did legs torso arms and head all separate, other than that.

ChaosPhoenix Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Nice idea with your Titan! Don't fear the women, you could still shave a cat or dog and convert it to a baby. The missing pet could be replaced with a new one, which is cheaper than a Titan. What do you think?

Inquisitor_Sterngold Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I love your game board looks like you did an excellent job on it.. You are brave taking on a Reaver, I bottled it & commissioned someone esle to build & paint it for me.. One thing I did notice was the shoulder guards look like they are on the wrong way, they should be 90o from what they are. With the gold try using some of the GW washes on top of it. I find shining gold with a wash of devlan mud looks really good. Looking forward to seeing it painted, keep up the good work.
