Fajita Fan Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I’m reading “Double Eagle” to get excited for the new AI then I’m starting “Titandeath” to read about these siege titans. I found a small container at Walmart with locking handles on the lid for transport. It’s just tall enough for a Warlord if I don’t stack something on the lid and my plan is to magnetize the bottom and glue little 8x2mm tall magnets to the bottom of their bases so they don’t slide around. That’s just big enough to fit Legio Custodes and my as-yet-unbuilt psi-titan. Also spent a few minutes slapping some cheap color shifting craft paint on a Wraith for a Xenos campaign. The blackish gold still needs another coat and the green is color shifting green edged with contrast paint. Idea: would hormagaunts beefed up with Greenstuff make good carnifexes for a bug hunt? And finally I mocked up my latest Vulcan megabolter proxies. They’re finally the right size but they had lots of little hairs sticking out because my printer at work is acting weird. The gun barrels were a mess but I’ll try again at some point.

Marshal Wolfhart Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Wondering how Titans would walk through over jungles and over through hills. FTFY :P On a more seriuos note, i guess they'd stomp anything that's in the way that can't be easily circumvented. Then again, dense terrain isn't the forte of titans in my mind, similar to how tnaks are used irl these days.

Mandragola Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Today (actually yesterday) I tried out using the new GW wraithbone primer as a base for yellow. I think it’s worked quite well. You still need two or three thin coats of yriel yellow over it, but the result is nice and bright. I think I’d recommend this approach to anyone who wants yellow panels. The Wraithbone gives a nice flat coverage that any other paint would be fine over.

Burni Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 TIAT I realised I'm just not enjoying painting Space Marines for ETL and painted my Battlefield Stratagems for AT instead. Question; I'm going to build my AT building this week I think (had them a year...). What's everyones recommendations? Many small at 2-3 stories? Or less but bigger?

Fajita Fan Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I wanted LoS blocking terrain for Warlords so I made styrofoam apartment buildings just tall enough to clear them. For just a few bucks at Walmart I can make quite a few! I have enough of the AT terrain to make some nice buildings that I don't have physical space for including the 9"x14" cathedral I had planned. malika666 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357462-today-in-titanicus-i/page/3/#findComment-5358811 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fajita Fan Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 What, the buildings or the cathedral? These are the apartments, I made the building facade and roof texture in Publisher but redid it to make the floors shorter as a Reaver should easily stand 9 or 10 stories tall. I'll post pics when I finish hot gluing them. This was the start of the cathedral, I had to 3d print some floors to add strength but I put this on the back burner to get my titans painted in my limited hobby time.

Noserenda Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Yeah I'd save the plastic gw terrain to make big centerpiece buildings and maybe a bit of detail to big scratch built jobbies.

Reyner Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) I am trying to decide on a traitor legion quite fancy Legio Vulcanum. Only things I have as a rule are: reasonable rules and a total contrast to Legio Defensor (not Fureans though yellow and them flames are a bit beyond me!) Might end up waiting for the next book to decide does anyone know any rumours around that? edit: ooo Metalica had a traitor element I LOVE their scheme!

Might end up waiting for the next book to decide does anyone know any rumours around that? edit: ooo Metalica had a traitor element I LOVE their scheme! I'm having the same thought. I'm actually thinking Mortis might be the way to go. Penumbral Reaper sounds like fun and I could have an army designed to zerg people (using their free move strat) rather than just blast things like my Astorum tend to. No rush. Got loads to do on the Warp Runners still. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357462-today-in-titanicus-i/page/3/#findComment-5360057 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Tea Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Last week in the hobby - I went on holiday and took a hobby box of stuff to make with me. I got a Warlord, 6 Q-Knights and 1 A-Knight built This morning in the hobby - I had just enough time to get the magnets into the warlord before I had to leave for work This evening in the Hobby - I'll hopefully get the warlord primed and get some painting* done on my warhounds *what I refer to as painting mostly resembles what would happen if you dropped your miniatures into a bucket full paint and then added a drunk octopus Noserenda and Burni 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357462-today-in-titanicus-i/page/3/#findComment-5360563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillyfish Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Well, today (okay, yesterday evening) I based my Warlord ready for spray undercoating and then painting. Who knows, pictures may even emerge at some point...
