TOTH II +++Titans of the Heresy II+++

[Mendi Warrior]

Thanks man, I am painting this for my 11 y/o son; I presented him with a selection and this is the blue he chose, and he decided on the placement of the red and white bits too (he got help from the interweb).

 

Well, your son's choice of colours is superb! 

[Captain Semper]

OK everyone, sorry for not updating earlier, but all my hobby time went into my Warlord!

@ K0rtmer: Welcome aboard! Of course the miniature is acceptable - classics are always welcome! This I'm really looking forward seeing painted!

@ Wolf Guard Einar: Knights can become addictive! Good luck with them!

@ Master Ciaphas: Welcome man, this is great, with a named Titan an' all! Good stuff...

@ Armiger84: Good to have you back! With three Titans pledged, that's Task 2 already! And a Warbringer too! Look forward to that!

@ Tenth Floor Mosquito: Well, one Warlord done already... Which Forge World are you working for, churning out Warlords like that!

@ Grotsmasha: Man those Warhounds are super cool! And great choice going for Xestobiax! Good luck man - the first one looks ace!

@ Dosjeska: Missed? Nope - just didn't update. I am now though! I look forward to see your Titan vow man - are you going for a new Warbringer maybe?

@ Sherrypie: Legio Favilla FTW!!!!

@ Interrogator Stobz: THIS. IS. FANTASTIC! Lovely colours, just great... wow! MMMOAAAR!!!! Just a question though, how did the left leg plating fit? I mean give the angle of the leg...

@ Kenzaburo: Sorry man, GW has not released any Crucius transfers I'm afraid.... Keep walking brother!

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Kenzaburo]

Thanks, Captain. I'm gonna go crazy than ... or might have to look into maybe tweaking Imperial Fists decals, dunno. But first, I'm off to take some WIP pics. This thread needs more stompy robot pictures, I feel. :D

[Captain Semper]

Well, you may stick with the generic decals (that can be quite adequate) leaving out strategic place to fill them in once the decals finally arrive. That’s what I did with the Krytos.

 

But you’re on your own with the chequers...

[Captain Semper]

Oh, and by the way, I completed my Task 1:

Now I will do another 3 Titans: 1 Reaver and 2 Warhounds - upgrading to Task 2.

When I complete that, I may upgrade further to Task 3 with another one (Warbringer?)

[Sherrypie]

This is really bad for my schedule but eh, it begins. Getting faster with the metals, but it's really hard to wait on washing them with black before I also block in the trims, which will take a while.

 

[Kenzaburo]

Great work, Captain. And yeah, the chequers - I got a bit of practice from when I painted a load of Ork boyz. But still, this is going to be rough.

Here's the promised pic btw:

Doesn't look like much right now, but that's gonna change soon, I hope.

Someone is leading by example, fantastic Warlord Captain mate :tu:

 

BTW: the leg plates were maxed out with that bend, but they did just fit (obviously).

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

Nice work so far everyone doing great job painting and building!!

[Guest]

 

Next 3 complete...

 

 

All 6 together, Onto my next 3 Knight (Barons for the other 2 sets) which gives me 3 Lances in turn I can use them for a Household force.

 

Another vow in a day or so.

[Master Ciaphas]

Hail!

 

Since I had a weekend of Hobby Attention Deficit, I looked at some ages old (ie. October 2019) AT18 terrain, and thought it would be better if I gave that a crack instead. 

 

Therefore, I, Master Ciaphas, pledge Administratum Task 2 - Adept, and pledge to do the following two boxes (or blisters) of scenery:

 

1) Forge World Manufactorum

2) Forge World Silos

 

Here starting pics:

 

Faithfully,

Master Ciaphas

Next Warlord finished

 

Imperator Caine - more mercenary than full traitor.

 

Method:

 

Black undercoat on main body and panels

Dusting of silver primer on the main body.

Sponge paint bronze on the panels edging.

Very very thin coats of dark grey applied to the panels

Assemble.

Pain the heraldry shields

Weather, battle damage and base.

 

 

 

 

 

 

About 90 mins from start to finish, although a light 90 spread in 15-20 mins here and there across the afternoon

*sees people completing titans in 90 minutes*

*looks at the half painted pile that's had 11 hours of work on the desk*

 

What mosquito magic is this.

TASK 3: MASTER OF JUDGEMENT– One Lance (three Banners)

 

 

Next 3 Knights for my House Terryn... These 3 will be Barons that will go in the others for the ability for Household formations or just support.

Hail!

 

So - after a nice session last night, I have finished my three pieces of terrain, and thus claim that the first of my pledges is done. I present:

 

AT18 FW Manufactorum

AT18 FW Silos

 

 

 

Lovely small buildings, who will show nicely on the battlefield - and probably the two sets from Forge World which give "the most" value for money; I also have the barricades/turbine/crate and the power stations blisters lying at home. No clue when I will get around to doing them.

 

With regard to the other pledges, I managed to paint the gold trim on my Knights, and shaded all the trim bar the trim on the Acastus knights. Perhaps tonight...

 

Faithfully,

Master Ciaphas

What mosquito magic is this.

 

No magic, just tricks. Example being the brass edging on the panels. That would have taken a good hour or so to do with a paint brush. So I got a sponge, put some paint on it, then dabbed it around the edges. 3 mins work and all painted.

 

I'm mainly a historical gamer and that tends to be "American Civil War, you say? We need 100 Union Infantry in six weeks for the scenario? Sure, I'll do those" and off you go.

 

Painted the Knights last night. These pics have come out very dark - the blue is nothing like as dark as its shown here - so I'll get some better ones at some point. Might also work up that blue a bit more in the future, but these are fine for now.

 

 

 

 

 

[Grotsmasha]

Warhound number 2 complete, and with that my first Vow, time to fire up the Printer again me thinks....

There I go humming that song in my head for eternity again lmao.

[blackbabyjesus]

Done!

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

Wow that turned out super cool, great work!!

[Tenth Floor Mosquito]

Nicely done. Especially liking that scroll work.

[Master Ciaphas]

Hail!

 

Yesterday's evening, where I made fair progress on my two Acastii Knights; the metals on both are done and I have blocked in the main colours on the first of them. The second needs to be blocked in, and then there is the hightlightning and details to be done. All in all, I expect to be done this weekend. 

 

Then I will look at the Questoris knights (where I have made a bit of progress in assembly) and my Warlord. 

 

 

Faithfully,

Master Ciaphas

[Rune Priest Ridcully]

I'll join in with Legio Solaria and a knightly house, so task 3, Princeps Majoris, ordered the new box so will have 4, will decide on the 5th once I have had some games.

[Sherrypie]

Those are gorgeous, BBJ.

 

17 hours in, Memento Mori plods onwards. Getting nearer to the factory finish state before weathering, now to decide what to do with the shoulders. Plain? Checkered? Dance macabre'd?

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Armiger84]

...Titanic Task 1 -

 

2x Reavers

1x Warbringer...

 

Ok, waaay overdue on the follow-up here, but I do have some eye candy finally

 

First up, 2/3 of the pre-work for this pledge.  Yes, I assembled these Reavers in late Fall, but they haven't seen any paint until February (please don't hold that against me)

 

 

Also in this image are my fourth Warhound and second Warlord.  In all fairness, I did finish them before starting this pledge, but here's an idea of where they ended up:

 

The Warhound:

 

 

The Warlord:

 

 

Edit:  Yes, I know the WIP shot is upside down; I spent 15 minutes trying to get it reoriented in the album short of deleting it and gave up, as I'm running out of lunch break here.  Will mess with it more later ;)
