Xanthier Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Cheers! When conversion beamers come out I'll likely switch some Acastus weapons round, yeah. As for rules I either go with the custom legio rules from WD or if an opponent doesn't like those then Astorum. I did get round to finishing the base, so I'm back to having all titans painted again.

Brother Desultor Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I'll say it again...... I love how your bases give the kit a sense of scale. Outstanding work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I was thinking the same thing, a simple yet very effective look. :tu: I'm going to shamelessly steal the concept Brother Xanthier. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Great work as always. I like the subtle chipping. I've never been happy with the results when I've tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ciaphas Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I will echo the other comments. Lovely work - and I love the wee street lamps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanthier Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Blimey it's been a while eh? I was gifted 2 more Warbringers which turned up a couple of days ago, so figured I'd make a start on the first today. Rather annoyingly, I found I was out of leadbelcher spray, my black had dried up and my rhinox hide and sybarite green are both almost dried too. Irksome, but I still finished up the lower half. Top half is built minus head and weapons, so I'll aim to paint that tomorrow and build the weapons and make a start making the second one also.

Frostbit3 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Yeah I ran out of leadbelcher spray as well. Made the mistake of trying to use the dregs of the can and added some great texture to some reaver weapon arms. I’m glad yours are turning out. Always liked your scheme!

Fajita Fan Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 That reminds me I'll need another can before I can spray my next Warlord and Warhounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Good to see you back. Please explain how one goes about being "gifted" titans. That doesn't seem to happen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthier Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 Cheers guys! One of my friends basically asked if I'd like any GW stuff and I mentioned I only had 1 Warbringer but a full maniple of everything else, so he got me 2 more. Not the best pic, but the upper torso is done now. Weapons are all assembled and magnets are in, so I'm on track to finish those and the base tomorrow. Still not sure what to convert up for an alternate head though. Mendi Warrior, Dosjetka and Interrogator Stobz 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrypie Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 A range finder head with measuring gubbins? Point defence head with small guns? An alternative build shooting its top gun through its mouth :D ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthier Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 That's a good idea - I just need to rustle up some bits for it. I otherwise kept to schedule, so this one's finished, minus his noggin. Next one I'll do some more chopping and get a volcano for the top, just for some variety.

Xanthier Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Made some more progress - converted up the head for the recently completed Warbringer and made a start on the second, similarly finishing up the lower half. Should be on track to finish up this second one before the end of the weekend. Mendi Warrior and depthcharge12 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Warrior Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Nice alternative head, looking forward to the end of the weekend to see the end result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthier Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Cheers Mendi! Bit more progress today, head was painted and the next Warbringer got the torso done. Just the 5 weapons and next head left to assemble/paint tomorrow. I also did some chopping so this third Warbringer will have a nice belicosa volcano cannon.

Xanthier Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 There we go, new head and weapons all done, Warbringer 3 finished. I'm pretty stoked with how the head for this one came out. I only have 3 more little Questoris Knights to paint before I'm once again at a fully painted AT collection. Sure would be nice to have new titan releases...

Sherrypie Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Fully painted collection, now that's a rare thing to hear... Still loving these, with little details like the skulls on the cheek and the beautiful depth of colour in the greens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoon Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Head #3 really came out well. Definitely my favorite and a well done conversion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 That third head is my favourite too. I've been wondering what to do about the head for my second Warbringer. To be honest I'll probably go with the default version as my Astorum are deliberately uniform - so all my Reavers and Warlords have matching heads. I wanted them to look sort of mass-produced. But I slightly miss doing wacky conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthier Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Thanks everyone! The latest head is also my favourite yeah - the second one didn't quite turn out how I had initially wanted due to not particularly having many scope lenses to hand, but I ran with what I had. For the third one I dived through my bits boxes and the lens is actually a piece of the hydraulics from a 40k Knight Titan! Curretly I'm pondering colour choices for the 3 remaining questoris - I don't particularly want to repeat colours and I've done sea green/white, royal purple/white, enchanted blue/black, orange/white and scarlet/khaki(ish). I'm thinking I'll likely to at least one with a more vibrant red and one with a vibrant emerald/shamrock green. Not too sure what colours to pair with those, or what to do the third currently. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbit3 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Sometimes when I’m stuck on something like that I’ll google something like “knight crests” and look at the historical/medieval color combos or what artists have come up with. Will often spark something. Doing that just now for example I was struck by a yellow/teal combo and reminded how blue and white are always solid.

Mandragola Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Deciding on a knight colour scheme is a big blocker for me too. I've got a big heap of the things and none of the options particularly excites me. In 40k I play Taranis but on 30k they're all dead on Mars, while subsequently they would have all sorts of admech features that aren't available. I guess I could have some fun making custom heads for them and then replicate my 40k scheme, as it would offset my Astorum stuff reasonably well.

Any suggestions? Given the green/white of the Titans, something complementary will look good on the tabletop. Purple/white or purple/cream would work well, as would blue/white or blue/cream.
