I'm amazed I missed this thread, Tagsta! It's cool to see you're progressing further (and I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to talk with you on AIM for a while) - I look forward to seeing more of this project. The Princeps conversion is very nicely done, and I like the heraldry you've given the Titan.

since no one seems to be able to help me out with warp runners stuff

i did a test design for a warp runners banner modifying the BOLS templates from legio ignatium

/edit

 

after 15 mins of photoshopping I modified the 3 main banners of the BOLS templates ready for a test print

looks kinda like this:

I like the look of it so far, and nice job on the crewmen.

 

For a name, I would suggest something scary sounding. "Dies Irae" is a good one, translates to "Day of wrath" or something to that effect. Was the name of a titan in one of the Horus Heresy books too.

Lugius? That's from what I remember of ancient Greek, though, it's probably pronounced differently in modern Greek. What does it mean?

 

Great model in any case. I like the personalisation that has been put into it all, will look great when it's done!

I'm sorry to say man, but I don't think many people have #6 yet.. though, I have 1-5.

thanks for your help though!

Not much of a fan of superheavies and titans. But that's more because people struggle with painting on a different scale and they don't often look good. Yours looks great though... keep posting updates because i want to see the finished thing! ^_^

 

Edit: is the shine from an Ink glaze, or varnish? or just photography... if it is just photography it's a shame because the slight sheen looks really good too, and would be worth finding a way of causing it intentionally ;)

Ah, I see. Wouldn't 'ΛΥΚΙΥΣ' be more appropriate then? The kappa (as opposed to a gamma) being the Greek equivalent of the Latin 'C' (which, incidentally, is how 'Lucius' would be pronounced in Latin anyway)?

 

Ok, maybe I'm nitpicking too much :D

its just the pictures but the result could be done by clear varnish =)

 

You can't use "Dies Irae"! They turned to Chaos! Are you filthy traitor scum or what?

i won't call him like the legio mortis titan, no worries =)

you could be right! i just googled "greek characters" and constructed the name like that without any further knowledge of the language.. do you have someone you could ask?

the banner is just on a test print atm and can still be changed

/edit

i just looked it up on wikipedia and came to the conclusion that gamma is definitely not the equivalent of c!

in modern greek it is kappa which is (K) or ©

and it ancient greek it seems to be chi

thank you for the hint!

 

would u recommend to take the ancient greek or modern greek version then?

 

 

 

I NEED INSPIRATION ON A LATIN NAME FOR THE TITAN!!!

That was the shot I've been waiting for. It looks ace, man. Though I would have to say do something to even out the yellow balance. Make something on it's left yellow, or repaint the Plasma Blaster. I just think that it makes it off, and takes away from the head.

It looks fantastic. The metals and the blue look really smooth. But Ganuus is right, something needs to balance out the yellow. I'm not sure what it is, whether you need more or less yellow elsewhere on the model... But if you can figure that out it'll be pretty much perfect.
