Adeptus Titanicus: Legio Crucius

[Mazer Rackham]

Hello everyone :)

 

I always had a soft spot for Titanicus ever since the good old days of my Eldar Phantom Titans and my buddies' Gargants and so when this came round again, the bug bit.  I'm going to use this a thoughts/hobby/Plogging thread for my chosen Legio.  I have put together a roster for some background to my characters and engines - so expect crazed themes, sporadic pictures and terrible painting!

 

So, without furthe ado (and shameless theft of Apologist's format since it was so great

Can't go wrong with an Axiom to start! Nor using Apologist as inspiration for anything.

 

Welcome to the mad house.

[Fajita Fan]

Mortis Draconae is a really good name.

[Brother Dallo]

Always nice to see another AT log. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

 

I wouldn't stress too much about "terrible painting". I wouldn't class myself as a particularly good painter, but I'm looking forward to getting some paint on some stompy robots. AT is a good way to push your skill set, trying out new things (like stripes). At the end of the day, you'll likely be painting half a dozen models so you can take your time on them.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone :)

 

Onwards and upwards!

A good start brother …….. Looking forward to seeing some painted Titans soonish

Sounds good. Love "Iron Golem", cool name.

[Mazer Rackham]

Sounds good. Love "Iron Golem", cool name.

 

Thanks, but I regret I can't take credit for that one!  A lot of it is a homage to Dark Souls - it started off as an Index: Astartes mob, then got transferred to big stompy robots.  I was going to go with "Cavae Custodem - Hollow Guardian" but thought the Low Gothic had a better connection. 

 

Cheers regardless!

Sounds good. Love "Iron Golem", cool name.

 

I take it Iron Graveler and Iron Geodude won't be far behind?

[Mazer Rackham]

Not in this neck of the woods if they know what's good for them!

 

Sometimes, you just can't catch 'em all.  

 

MR.

[Mazer Rackham]

Got some WIPs done.  Happy with the striping, took a bit of time with it.  Not the world's greatest painter, so not doing too bad.

 

 

MR.

[Fajita Fan]

I like the asymmetric striping, that’s a good idea to add variety.

[Mendi Warrior]

The stripping is great, I also like the left white - right black on both legs and the "bronze" - "silver" association for the skeleton parts

[Mazer Rackham]

Thank you for the comments and kind critique, means a lot.

 

EDIT:

 

The above means even more that now, this project is a dead duck.  No one in my area or a lack of interest and motivation by them means I will never play this.

 

I leave my words here as thanks to the people who took the time to comment and encourage me.

 

That is all.

 

Mazer.
