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

[Interrogator Stobz]

Got eh weapons done, pretty happy with the glow.

 

I have done a bunch of transfers since this pic, now just weathering and basing to go......

[Gattopardo]

These look great. The glow on the Melta cannons is excellent.

Really like your color scheme. The red and brass really work well together.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Transfers and Weathering done...

 

 

Bases underway.............

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Your Warhound and Reaver Titans are beautifully painted and detailed.

[Lord_Borak]

Wow, the weathering really makes those come alive, how did you do it? (sponge?). That's a healthy amount of flamers.... Someone's getting ready for the new AT book!

[Interrogator Stobz]

Thanks guys.

 

Lord_B, I have a splayed brush that I use instead of a sponge, more control.

The new book sure is interesting, although it does seem like it's just a rehash of the current Atarus rules so I'm not as excited as I'd like to be.

 

Pics of bases soon....

Nice effect on the flamers.

 

Makes me want to do a little green-stuff work on mine when I get to them. It adds a lot of flavor and visual appeal for painting.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Thanks mate, been busy on the bases last two days. Have themdone a bit past this stage, most are glued standing and there's only retouching sand etc.  around the feet to go...

 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Pretty happy with about 2500 painted in three months, 2k tournament in two days.... no pressure
:lol:

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Beautiful work on the Knights, Titans, and their bases.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Step 11 of 12 done! These boys are ready for the tournament tomorrow:

 

Well, 2k of them are.....

[Marshal Loss]

Awesome work, they look phenomenal assembled together

[Lord_Borak]

That's a really nice looking force mate. What maniples are you going for?

[Mendi Warrior]

Superb work, a really cohesive force!

[schoon]

Excellent work, Stobz.

 

Good luck storming the castle at the tournament. Look forward to hearing tales of triumph and woe!

Hey Lads and Ladettes, sorry about the slow update but the games the other weekend were 'epic'.

 

We had three multiplayer AT games, 3 per side. The games were a mini campaign semi narrative style.

-The first one was 500 points per player where we the Loyalists had to move along the three tables (joined together) collecting an objective on each, the Traitors ambushed us and we had to chose slug it out or keep moving, we slugged it and the game was a draw.

-The second game was a 750 points per player skirmish where you were to withdraw units as they took critical damage to maintain a credible force in game three, we got smashed by the Warmaster due to being a bit stuck on their side of a single table.

-The Third game was 2000 each fight to the death on two tables. We deployed better and got a pincer move working really well and crushed the Rebellion in the name of Teh Emprah.

 

One of the things that was interesting was every time we got an exploding Titan in each game the HH Apoc game in the same hall had an EMP pulse roll to disrupt vehicles, nice touch.

 

Here are the two table areas:

Excellent set-up. I particularly like the massive industrial buildings, imho they work better with the AT scale than with the 40K scale.

 

I couldn't help to notice the surroundings with the patu, the two taiaha, the gata and the stone-head club in particular, as well as the Japanese weapons and armor. Nice dojo.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Yes it is thanks, you from Aotearoa?

My Atarus Warlord is now well underway FYI, maybe I'll get a pic of my progress in a day or two...

[Mendi Warrior]

No, I'm not, I'm actually quite far from there, I'm from the land of beer and chocolate, aka Belgium.

I'm a big fan of Oceanic tribal art though, Melanesia and Vanuatu in particular. And, much to my wife's despair, AT models are not the only things I collect ... 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Potato pics of progress.

3/4 mile of trim done:

 

 

With his mates for motivation to finish him:

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Fine work, Interrogator Stobz.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Thanks man, did a bit more today.

Torso and legs have been blinged and highlighted, now on to the weapons, then it's transfers, weathering and base.....

[Interrogator Stobz]

Hey AT18 Team,

 

It's been a long time between drinks in this thread, but here goes some threadomancy.

 

My real life has been as unfocused as this thread, trying to do too many things at once, my last post for instance mentions progress on an Atarus WL, that has been done and he only waits on basing etc. Since then I have (hobby time dependant) been working on my sons' Makabius Knight Household to roll with his Krytos Lads.

 

Here is a progress pic, they need a few more washes on the trim, bling and weapons, battle damage then wait on basing with the rest of the mostly finished minis.

[Mandragola]

That's a lot of progress. Great to see that you're still plugging away.
