Captain Semper's Adeptus Titanicus project

[Captain Semper]

You mean the True Messangers? Here’s the answer: Ulthuan Grey! Use white for highlights only! It works for me...

[Fajita Fan]

It's not the quantity I despair of rather I chose a Legio with a white scheme...

Tell me about it...

APOSTATE OF DAYS

WARHOUND CLASS TITAN OF LEGIO KRYTOS

And the two of them together:

[Brother Dallo]

Another great looking Titan Semper. I'm also working on my warhounds at the minute, but it's a good bit less glamorous than your pair. I'm just starting into mold line removal. 

 

Anyway, looking forward to seeing more of your work.

 

Out of curiosity, how do you do your white?

 

Keep up the good work.

 

Dallo

[Parweke]

how are you so fast?

I mean... it takes me days to get the panel trims painted.

 

for my warlord it took something like 16 hours.

 

I guess it helps if you know what you are doing, I still dont! :)

 

edit: your hounds are gorgeous, one of the reasons I ordered a pair today

The white? Very complex and ancient technique that involves... are you ready? Ulthuan Grey! And that's it! :lol: Maybe highlight it with white - but that's optional! I'm a big fan of simple approach - if it works, stick to it! :D

Hey, it took me three weeks to do the Warlord, had to strip it, and do a number of structural adjustments -but it was also a learning process - a learning process that paid dividends in its smaller cousins! :D

[Parweke]

ive been doing warlord for 6 weeks now! still not ready ( well havent done anything for 2 days, lost momentum)

 

im going to do the rest of them in easier way, no more unneccessary layering, skeletons will be 1 colour and then drybursh instead of 3 +drybrush and maybe skip the gloss varnish step too...

 

if I have time will do some work tomorrow and saturday, next week I will speed up so I can get Mortis engines ready before Blackstone Fortress drops :)

 

btw, when is this AT event you hinted a while back?

[Fajita Fan]

Just bought some Ulthuan to get my ass in gear.

Good choice! :D

So you're saying I shouldn't paint anything until January?

You folks in the AT sub forum really are enablers, aren't you? :p

[Fajita Fan]

I just bought two more Warhounds and a box of Kataphron Destroyers to make Warhound proxies.  I might even buy another Warlord...

[Parweke]

madman :)

HAVOC

WARHOUND CLASS TITAN OF LEGIO KRYTOS

And all three together... Only Manus Infernum remaining...

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

Looking great, Cap! 

[Olis]

Lovely titans, brother! I think you're doing well with the colour schemes - they look like they should be in a battle report. :tu:

[Captain Semper]

Thx guys, with AT I heard the calling - had to go into it! :lol:

I know, but it takes two to tango! ;) regardless, I’ll keep building up my Maniple and hopefully a game will come my way... :D

[Parweke]

If you book them, they will come! :)

[Parweke]

you said in Dallo's plog that you are waiting for bases?

 

where did you find AT bases? and are they resin scenic bases?

 

I would like to get some for my Atarus models?

[Captain Semper]

Will get mine from Dragon Forge...

 

Just make sure you order the correct size. :)

[Parweke]

oh dragon forge, import taxes and custom duty.... and waiting list... going to be expensive.

 

edit: but then again, those concrete rubble bases would be perfect, very very tempting :)

[Captain Semper]

I know... still.

[Parweke]

what set did you order? and when?

[Brother Dallo]

Cry Havoc and all that... :p

 

Nice to see you posting again Semper.

 

Those Hounds look really good in the group shot. I'm curious how long you spend on each Titan, from start to finish? You seem to be churning them out at a fair rate. Do you have any time saving tips? Or does it just boil down to actually sitting down and doing some hobbying?

 

As we say back home, keep her lit.
