Can't wait to see you do the Reaver. I might get one sometime. 

I can't really help with the different reds. They look similar to my eyes. Use them all! :D

[Atia]

Thanks guys and girls

 

Decided to go with a combination of the first and the second to last one, both got the votes both here and at the adeptus titanicus group on facebook 

 

 

Second from the bottom for my money. If you want to build mega contrast use rhinox hide as the base and airbrush highlight with mephiston red and a point of light mixing a bit of fiery orange.

Or if you managed to keep some, black primer > gal vorbak red > word bearers red is the smoothest combo I've ever found for vibrant red with depth.

Yeah, my original plan was to go with the Forgeworld reds, but alas ..... thanks GW Sales Management for dumping "products that aren't selling especially if we aren't doing them in house", aka paints, etched brass and transfer sheets .... 

 

That said, I'm quite happy with the vallejo paints I got (Fire Red and Ferrari Red).

 

 

Might have to grab one of these kits for kitbashing with my tau. awesome looking.

 

and thanks for the size comparison shot on the imperial knights.

 

I grabbed a box and gonna convert my primaris aggresssors with, centurion legs, aggressor torsos and arms/backpack, with the imperial knight upper hull

 

I totally need to do some kitbashes down the line. Thinking about a Warlord Close Combat Head, Power Whip aswell as Gryphonicus Scout Reaver legs using Armiger parts !

I don't know if this helps, but I do the red on my Mortis the following:

 

Base Khorne Red

Wash of Carroburg Crimson

Highlight of Evil Sunz Scarlet

 

I do mine with the highlight being in the middle of the plate, like a sunburst so the darker red is on the outer edges and it gets brighter toward the middle. Really directs the eye.

QFT. I can't continue my 40K World Eaters army because of the discontinuation of FW Word Bearer's Red. :(

 

Lovely Knights, though, Atia! I think you just convinced me to do a facsimile of the Legio Mortis colour scheme on my Renegade Knights...

Thanks :) - I'm not really doing highlights in the classic sense on my AT models, only where edges are without trim (if that makes sense). May try Evil Sunz Scarlet for these cases (mostly on Knights I guess!).

Yep, feel with ya, my 40k DG uses the FW Typhus Ash.

 

Glad you like my tiny Knights Auggi . Regarding Legio Mortis and Knights - as with Gryphonicus I will be doing two different schemse for my Mortis Knights - House Malinax aswell as House Morbidia - who use exactly the same colours as Mortis but inverted, with the same insignia as far as I'm aware.

 

Talking about the Death Head's - currently working on the bases for my three Warlords:

 

[hushrong]

I like what I am seeing! Those bases are going to be amazing!

[Gederas]

Loving everything in this thread, it all looks super cool. There is one thing I want to know:

Kreth'ilik

How'd you do the base? Specifically: Where did you get such a sized base?

I ask, because I just received my own Brass Scorpion and want to base her.

Some more progress!

Hey Gederas and thanks for the nice words

The base is a custom one, did use an ovale picture frame if I remember it correctly - hope that helps =)

[Cpt. Bannockburn]

That's a lot of heavy firepower there.

[Kriegsmacht]

Nice amount of Mechs you have there. The finished(I can't remember if you said you finished it yet) one looks great.

No problem! I thought I had commented on you r thread before, looks like I didn't. Whoops :lol:

And yes, it does help.

[Arkangilos]

Great work!

[Atia]

Thanks! Points wise my Legio Mortis will be roughly 3000 points and that's without an Imperator Titan. Should give me enough to play around with different maniples for smaller games, aswell as enough to re-play the bigger scenarios like the Battle for the Magma City down the line!

Glad you like them. The Death Head's are known to have a bulk of Warlords, Reavers and Nightgaunts - so I figured a core of three bettlebacks sounds just right.

Valar Dohaeris !

Great work!

Thanks buddy

Another quick question (I know, I'm full of these).

 

Did you pin the 'knee' joints of the legs, or do they hold up fine with just super glue?

[hushrong]

Great to see those Warlords taking shaping!

To be honest, I'm not quite sure. Think I didn't had to pin them though (if you are still talking about the scorpion).

Thanks buddy - some more progress - started to work on the trim. Still lots to do!

 

[Subtle Discord]

Ha! They look funny without their armour; kinda' like a cat fresh from a bath.

 

Nice progress.

Thank ya! Some more - slowly they start to look like Death Head's!

 

[Atia]

Great to see the B&C beeing back

 

The Warlords are now at transfer sheets stage - little teaser:

 

 

Also did the weapon shields on my Legio Gryphonicus Warlord:

 

 

 

[Kriegsmacht]

Looks great

[Arkangilos]

Very good

[Atia]

Thanks boys

 

Progress on the weathering!

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done.
