Stobz'n'Sons' Mini Titans: Atarus vs. Krytos

[Interrogator Stobz]

Lol, they are only as non-standard as being Legio Tempestus instead of Legio Krytos.

Krytos are oop, as are my own Legio Atarus, I can't find Krytos for sale and when I ordered two sets of Atarus from an indie I got one Atarus and one Tempestus.

So these are TempestiKrytos or somesuch. :D

Stuff waiting for the perfect gear, I'm starting basing this maniple today....

[Captain Semper]

They look amazing man - very ominous! The decals are going a long way aren't they? Well cant wait to see your bases... What there will there be? urban? desert? 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Thanks mate, urban rubble with some mechanicum stuff seems appropriate considering the AT18 terrain available.

I'm still waiting on some vanguard minis to bring them to life, but I have begun. WIP Pics tomorrow all going well.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Got all the base basics on last night and this morning; still waiting on minis as mentioned but I'll be able to base coat paint once the clay has dried. Then it's minis and sand and proper painting after that....

 

[Fajita Fan]

Really nice, original color scheme, they look great together!

[Frostbit3]

The ruins look great! I’ve been procrastinating the basing for my Legio as it just feels like a lot of effort at the moment.

 

You can sneak extra depth out of the craters by cutting a hole through the base then gluing some plasticard to the bottom. It adds a bit more variation and justifies using some broken pipes or water effects if you have them.

[Skywrath]

Well done, Interrogator! Absolutely love the color scheme and attention to detail.

Looks great Stobz! I’m sure your boy will be happy

[schoon]

Love the start on the bases. Can't wait to see it all painted up!

[Interrogator Stobz]

I can't wait either, but I'll have to under our current Lockdown rules.

Whilst I wait for postage restrictions to become more than essential only on Tuesday, I've pushed on to the next part of this project:

 

 

Still plenty to go, but a constructive couple of evenings....

[Myrmidon]

I love the contrast of colors in these titans. Great Job. cannot wait to see the bases finished! What's your planned color palette for them?

[schoon]

Looking good with just the base-coat on.

 

That bodes well.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Tiny update (after a fair bit of work though), plates and trim done and washed, a few plates were changed to red to give more character to each minidudeknight.

Power effects, bling, transfers, weathering, bases to go....

 

 

@Myrmidon: I am not 100% sure yet; I will probably not do my traditional brown dirt and grey rubble/rocks 40k scheme because the game mat I use for AT18 is a grey and slate broken earth type mat.

But maybe it's easier to change the colour of the mat ..... :D

[Fajita Fan]

Nah, gray would be a better color for your bases than brown given those colors. I also got an asphalt mat for AT so I’ll be doing light gray too with rubble and those little industrial terrain kit pieces.

[Marshal Loss]

Looking great!

[Interrogator Stobz]

Nearly there....

 

 

[Fajita Fan]

Pose that middle one with a Warlord pointing up at him! 

[Interrogator Stobz]

:D

Yup, so will

[Interrogator Stobz]

Bases are fun, so I didn't wait for Vanguard Minis; they can go on later.

 

Not totally sure about the grey border, may wash it to create visual depth...

[Dark Bjoern]

Awesome work. The ruins are looking very realistic.

[Interrogator Stobz]

So, a good couple of days at it and the Maniple is done barring the minis from Vanguard, they will be added later (I added a bit more weathering to the shins after this pic, but it's still subtle like my boy wants):

Next project, no cool leg posing like some of the other cool artists here in the BnC, just a stock standard Nemesis:

 

 

Not the Nid, he is my boys' project.

 

:D

[Interrogator Stobz]

Progress!

 

Unfortunately the trim will have to wait until I have completed a Contemptor Dread for the Lockdown Challenge run by Grotsmasher in the Forge....

[Fajita Fan]

Damn, you're cranking them out.  I've been totally derailed myself
