Lord Uglor Does Gryphonicus

[Lord Uglor]

@ Fajita Fan - Thanks!  I like the look of yours, I think you've done a great job with them.  Had I scratched them myself, I don't think mine would have looked so good.

 

@ Mandragola - Thanks!  You're in luck, I just started a thread in the WiP section called Lord Uglor Does Imperial Fists.  First post is about the Centurions.

[Lord Uglor]

Hello all!  It's definitely been a little while since I've done anything with small stompy robots.  I've been doing hobby stuff, but in the Necromunda realm ( the thread Lord Uglor Does Necromunda documents those forays).

 

The release of Shadow and Iron, and the Warbringer-Nemesis class, have brought me back in!

 

I present to you Ingens Mentula, my first W-N class titan.  I have fully magnetized weapons.

 

 

 

 

 

This is the first of 2 of these.  I had been working on and off on making the Conversion Beam Cannons for my Porpherions, but have since found Vanguard miniatures excellent version and I have ordered some of them.

 

Hopefully, it won't be as long between posts.

Nice stipling, I bet that looks good from the tableside distance.

[Fajita Fan]

Welcome back, that looks very good.  I do wish the Warlord's quake cannon looked like that one.  

[Mendi Warrior]

Very nice! Yet another beautiful engine added to your legio!

[Lord Uglor]

@ Sherrypie - Thanks!

 

@ Fajita Fan - Thanks!  Do you mean with the cylinder loader?  Aside from that, and the pivot point, they're virtually identical.

 

@ Mendi Warrior - Thanks!

 

I've got a second W-N coming on Saturday, and am currently printing something on my resin printer that will go with it.

[Fajita Fan]

Yes, the magazine looks waaaaay better like that. It’s the only part of the Warbringer I like.

[Lord Uglor]

A little preview of what is coming.

 

[Lord Uglor]

Just a little something I finished while waiting for my Warbringer.  I've got 4 of these Ursus Claws total, quick print I found on thingiverse.

 

 

 

More to come, eventually.

[Fajita Fan]

I saw that model on Thingiverse but my printer won't handle the gaps, it's also not working right now.    That looks great, I hope my scratchbuilds come out that nice. 

[Mendi Warrior]

Super cool!

[Lord Uglor]

@ Fajita Fan - Thanks, and I do hope you get your printer up and running again.

 

@ Mendi Warrior - Thank you!

 

So today something finally came in the mail.  I was so pleased that I had to immediately finish my Porphyrion!

 

 

 

 

Simple conversion, and better looking than what I was designing myself.  That is all I have for now.

[Lord Uglor]

Been mulling over my second Warbringer pose, and working more on Necromunda, but I've managed to finish off a couple more buildings.  Can never have too much scenery.

 

Warbringer for scale.

 

 

 

Got two weeks off for March break, so I'm hoping to get the second W-N class done, and perhaps a bit more on my long gestating beetleback Warlord.

[Mendi Warrior]

Can never have too much scenery.

 

So true … (much to my wife's despair  )

[Lord Uglor]

@ Mendi Warrior - Always the problem with this hobby is storage, regardless of whether miniature or scenery. 

 

Well, it's been a little bit since I've posted here.  I've been doing a lot of Necromunda painting as of late, but finished this off today.  No name yet, and his second main weapon isn't finished yet, but they are magnetized and swappable.

 

 

 

 

I gave him a bit more of an aggressive stance, as if actually firing the Volcano Cannon.

 

Let me know what you think.

[Fajita Fan]

I never figured an energy cannon would have recoil but in two books that I can remember a Shadowsword is "rocked" by its recoil. The conversion looks good painted up like that. 

[Lord Uglor]

@ Fajita Fan - Thanks!  I just thought it was cooler with a slight forward lean, but good to know I'm backed by cannon instances.

[Mandragola]

Cool. What did you use for the magazines? I’m slowly putting some together myself.

[Mendi Warrior]

@ Mendi Warrior - Always the problem with this hobby is storage, regardless of whether miniature or scenery. 

 

Absolutely true … even though they are small in size … they are many in numbers 

 

Very cool Warbringer, I like its firing stance, the conversion is cool.

 

For the magazines, my guess is they are 3D printed. I think the basis of the old Cities of Death ornamented buttresses could be used for a conversion.

[Lord Uglor]

@ Mandragola - Thanks!  Mendi Warrior is indeed correct, they are 3D printed.  I found them as part of a set with the Bellicosa VC on thingiverse.  I had originally thought of using a spare plastic VC cannon I had and the pivot carraige of the Quaje Cannon theat the Warbringer comes with, but I wanted to change the mgazine as well and had no idea what I thought it should look like.  A chance find saved me a kot of headache, and because I didn't cannabilize my Quahe cannon, i can just swap them as needs be.

 

@ Mendi Warrior - Thanks!  As far as scenery goes, before I moved to Reno, I used to live in a suburb of Toronto.  Basements are a way of life there, not so much here in Reno.  I had almost an entire basement there for my hobby, 1400sq ft!  I had a permanently set up 4x8 gaming table, storage of scenery in two levels underneath, tons of wall space with shelves for more scenery.  When I moved, I had to leave 99% of it behind.  It was a sad day.  I now make use of large plastic bins that roll under beds, or store in closets.  Not ideal, but until I can contract my own house to be built here (mayhaps one day) with a large basement, I must make do.

[Mendi Warrior]

1400 sqft is an impressive surface for a hobby/gaming area. I can imagine it was indeed a sad day, I hope you were able to leave them in good hands. And I wish you can make your own house design happen one day.

[Lord Uglor]

It's been a bit, but I've not been idle.

 

Having been inspired by Fajita Fan's Ordinatus, I set about making my own version.  I had the file from my Warbringer's BVC, so I printed one, and designed around it.  Using tinkercad, I made a fairly basic chasis, with my intent being to greebly it up with bits and bobs from Mechanicus kits.  This was just the print without any additions as of yet.

 

 

As well, I had a chance to finish off my Classic Plasma Cannon.

 

 

 

I will only use it in games at home, where I've been toying with using the old rules of mixed carapace, or even no carapace weapons, resulting in a slight boost to speed if there are none.  I think AT18 lost a little something by omitting these rules.  Fine game, great models, but I liked the customization of the first edition.

 

As well, I set up a Thingiverse account, LordUglor, where I've uploaded a few of my designs for Titanicus, and one for Necromunda.  Enjoy!

[Fajita Fan]

Wow, that looks a lot better than just blue tacking bits together, looks great! 

[Interrogator Stobz]

That's pretty neat Lord :tu:

Way better than blu tac... :D

[Lord Uglor]

@ Fajita Fan:  Thanks!  I think yours looks a lot more accurate to the original model.  I was just trying to make use of an extra print I had laying about, and it really isn't much, but I thank you again for your praise!  I'll get more pics up once it's finished.

 

@ Interrogator Stobz- Thanks!
