Captain Semper's Adeptus Titanicus project

[DuskRaider]

They look great, sir. How did you end up doing the trim? Leadbelcher with multiple washes of Nuln Oil?

[Gore Crow]

Nice transfer placement on those knights, very effective.

[Captain Semper]

Thank you guys!

 

When the game first hit the shelves I sort of snubbed the Knights but those minis are a real joy to paint and extremely easy to put together! (And fairly poseable without resorting to conversions)

 

The trim is very simple (as most of my recipes): eshin grey as a base (which has some blueish quality), a watered down wash of drakenhof blue, a small touch up with eshin grey again and a very light dry brushing with administratum grey. That’s all. :)

 

The decals were really fun to put on, although I did not follow any conventions as presented in the Imperial Knights Companiin IR Codices... :lol:

Also I'd like to point out how well the orange bases go with these guys too. Though you could maybe add some texture to make them tad more interesting.  Just not too much to distract from the miniatures themselves.

[Mendi Warrior]

They are very nice, I like the red in particular.

I know... working on it, will revert soon! :)

Thanks mate! I went for less is more with the red. I’m going to be more liberal with the Questoris...

[Mendi Warrior]

The less is more is an excellent choice here.

Eager to see the Questoris

Great work Cap! Your vow will be done in no time. You’ll have plenty of time to add a maniple on to it

[Chaeron]

Brilliant work Captain - looking great! Just need a few more ;)

[Master Ciaphas]

Fantastic work on those Cerastii knights! They look amazing!

 

Faithfully,

Master Ciaphas

After A LOT of work here's the final pics...

And a family pic:

I reworked the bases of the Cerastus too...

A word of advice: DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THESE MINIS!!!

Seriously the amount of detail in such a small area had me testing my brush-control skills to the fullest. With mixed results...

[Chaeron]

The work was worth it - they look great! :)

[Achinadav]

They're really lovely, worth the extra effort that all that detail causes. Now I'm a bit worried whether I can pull Lilliputian knights...

[Allart01]

Those are some great looking knights - clever use of the decals there.

Seems like you are getting ready for the Doom of Molech... ;)

[Master Ciaphas]

Those Knights (Questoris and Cerastus) are awesome!! I love them all.

 

Sterling work, Captain!

 

Faithfully,

Master Ciaphas

[Captain Semper]

Thank you guys!

 

The minute detail tested my sanity big time. My advice is, do not underestimate these models, especially the Questoris.

 

Now to do Black Arrow’s gun and pledge a Reaver to the TotH! :)

[Mendi Warrior]

They are beautiful, excellent work 

[Captain Semper]

Thx Mendi!

 

I need to get down and organise my vow now... :rolleyes:

[splayedpaintbrush]

I really do like that paint scheme on those knights. Very nicely painted too.

[Burni]

Beautiful work Cap. And top transfer work, the checkerboard looks perfect.

[Captain Semper]

Thanks guys!

Time to tie loose ends:

1. Do the Volcano Canon for Black Arrow
2. Pledge a Reaver for TotH. Although I'm thinking of going Vulpa, I have not concretely decided yet. Open to persuasion... :lol:

[Zhiv]

Clearly you must do loyalists to combat your Krytos! 

[Gamma310]

On the contrary.. You should do Fuerans, Yellow would look nice next to your Krytos Titans. ;)

[Mendi Warrior]

Don't make a choice, do both 

[Captain Semper]

OK, decals came in so here it is:

PROVOCATOR NAVUS:

He is already heavily decorated, but I did the shoulder shields and the shoulder pads:

I know the film sort of shines but I'll get some mat varnish on it really soon...

Next, the Reavers:

ATHEUS VINDICTA

BLACK ARROW

With his proper hand: The volcano canon! (and the knee pad transfer)

And the four Warhounds:
