Captain Semper's Adeptus Titanicus project

[Captain Semper]

Ars Longa! They need a fully blinged out twin

Ars Longa? Noted! but since one is long and the other is short, maybe a larger Titan? Which brings us to…

 

Do the WarMaster!

 

Just Do It.

… here!

 

im not following the boards too closely these days, has anyone tried a Warmaster? What’s the feedback?

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Vita Brevis is well done. What does its name mean? "Life, cut short"? And how will you decorate the god-machine's base?

[Captain Semper]

Thank you Bjorn, 

 

the name is derived from the Latin phrase: “Ars longa, vita brevis” which means “Art is long, life is short”. The latter part of the phrase seemed appropriate… like I’m going to make sure it’s short! :D

 

im thinking of rebasing all my Titans, so I’ll wait until I have the resources (both cash and time) to do it properly. It’s going to be urban…

Thank you for the language lesson.

All enemies of the Imperium and the Mechanicus deserve no less than death and damnation.

I thought a forest base would be used, so the Titan's green armor would serve as camouflage. Oh well. Maybe portray the god-machine storming a "Jade Palace", to satisfy us both? Edited June 28, 2021 by Bjorn Firewalker

Coming back after six months or so…

 

So I got a Warbringer Nemesis for Christmas and thinking of starting a new Legio - any ideas? Anything goes really…

 

P.S. just my luck, I got my least favourite Titan,,, :D

[Brother Dallo]

I hear Krytos like Warbringers.

[Captain Semper]

Thanks man - I’m actually looking to break away from Krytos and Atarus for a change… although I plan to add a Warhound to each at some point… :D

[Brother Dallo]

That’s a fair point.

 

Will you game with the new Legio or just paint it?

 

That would impact any suggestions.

 

Dallo

[Captain Semper]

I wish I could have a game… :(

 

No, it’s mostly colour and background driven. :)

[The boater]

Loyalist or Traitor?

 

My vote if you go traitor is Magna. They would be visually distinct from your other two, and I bet you could do a lot with the color scheme.

 

For loyalist, I’d say either Praesagius or Crucius. Same reasons as above, but also the warbringer really plays into both legio’s background/ play style

[Captain Semper]

Great ideas! I actually like Magna, I like it a lot! Maybe an opportunity to play with some smart contrast paint combos for the orange…

[Sherrypie]

Welcome back, Captain.

 

If your current legios are white/red and white/mint, how about something that's deep blue or verdant green? Astraman, maybe?

[Captain Semper]

Astraman? Very bold Sherrypie, very bold… :D or maybe (if going for blue) Astorum? That also has decals?

 

But I have to say, I’m strangely drawn to orange… the vibrant Legio Magna vs. the more muted/rusty of Legio Fortidus… Even Legio Oberon, although not a big fan of the black patterns…

[The boater]

Fortidus is cool (my own Legio) but the muted orange doesn’t leave much and I think it’ll look similar to your Atarus. Oberon would be really cool though, and would contrast nicely like Magna would. My vote is still magna, I’d love to see what you could do with the scheme

[Sherrypie]

With suitably fancy and unique patterns, Oberon could be very nice.

[Mandragola]

I might be biased but I do like Astorum as a painting project. You've got a lot of freedom to paint different designs with flames, astronomical patterns and also stripes and squares if you want. The blue and yellow colour scheme works pretty well.

 

Have you seen the new rules for Krytos though? They can sub in Warlords and Warbringers into maniples a bit, so that might be a good use of that thing.

[Brother Dallo]

I’d be interested to see your take on the Murder Lords.

[Forté]

Looks like someone has been busy, in a good way of course.

 

Couple of my buddies are trying to get me into it and I've even been building a Reaver (good fun too). Now it's a toss up between Mordaxis and Fureans.

[Meraklis]

@Captain Sempergreat collection! I would love to see them in a table. I am also located in Athens. Let me know if you are available for a game or two. Me and two more friends regularly play AT at Paleo Faliro in Athens 

[Captain Semper]

OK - due to Stobz' inspirational posts in this forum, I got motivated... Here's my interpretation of "Hammer of Tyrants" Warlord Titan of Legio Krytos: 

 

HAMMER OF TYRANTS

WARLORD CLASS TITAN OF LEGIO KRYTOS

 

 

 

 

And for dramatic effect:

 

[DuskRaider]

Looks great, Cap! Good to see a post from you, it’s been too long. Have you had a chance to play Krytos after their update?

[Master Ciaphas]

That is a lovely Warlord titan, Semper! Good job!

[Captain Semper]

Thank you guys, it’s great to hear from the old guard! Unfortunately I don’t have time to play games, so I must resign to just painting/modelling…

 

now I have my eyes on a Warmaster Iconoclast… let’s see…

[Mandragola]

The Iconoclast is a good pick if you want a model to paint but not necessarily to play with. It's a magnificent model but a bit odd on the table. It's a lot of work too, so probably only go for it if you are sure you want to.

[DuskRaider]

The Warmaster and Iconoclast are massive point sinks in the game to the point that they’re more of a hindrance and an easy target to focus fire than anything else. Model wise, they’re awesome so you should be good Cap. 
 

I hear you on the gaming front. I haven’t played an actual game of… well anything… in about two years. I’m hoping Legions Imperialis changes that and gets people back into Titanicus as well.
