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

[Tar Aldarion]

Nice to see another Krytos walking. They look great together. 

 

Also hope your son's feeling better!

[Gillyfish]

Looks amazing together on the table like that!

 

I hope he feels better soon too.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Thanks lads, he just had a mild headache and is fine. Growing and needing more food was likely the cause.

Great collection of both Titans and terrain.

 

I'm seeing some commonality in your color pallet. ;)

[Interrogator Stobz]

Cheers Brother Schoon.

 

I hope my limited palette doesn't make them too monotonous 

[Mithrilforge]

Great stuff here Stobz  Your painting is nice  

 

shame the lad was feeling unwell  ... Hey your Cat is a Cutie !! 

 

Cheers, M.

He's a fat ball of cuddles. Except when he's out murdering rabbits and possums (both are pests here btw).

Here's 2024's starting point for my Dark Angels Aerial Assault Formation supported by the Ferocious Legio Atarus.

They will be facing the Mighty Legio Krytos and their Traitorous Solar Auxiliaries tank formations.

I have many more micro dudes to get, once GeeDub sort their release and supply issues out of course. Especially for us in the Antipodes, some folks are finishing up painting whilst we are just beginning.

This may well get in the way of 28mm scale projects  but mixing it up is fun, so who knows...

A couple more LI starter box Hounds to paint as well as finishing up a Krytos WL and my Psi WL.

Then buckets of basing as I've only done about half so far.

Blimey, That's an awful lot to get cracking with.

 

If it makes you feel any better, all of my things are still on sprues as I had to wait until Christmas to get my box.

Stobz is an inspiration - as ever!

Hey Brother Captain, longest time no see.

Where have you been all this time?

[Captain Semper]

Hey, I’m trying to lurk here as often as possible and keep up with the hobby… but at the same time work has intensified and so have my real life obligations… trying to become more active nowadays but we’ll see. :D

 

you are doing tremendous things here man, a joy to watch and an inspiration for me to get more and more involved… keep at it!

[Interrogator Stobz]

Nothing like your contribution mate.

It will be great to see you find time to hobby, for you and us mere mortals.

RL is OK, but it's not as good as our shared Grimdark world 

[Gillyfish]

Now there is a (welcome) blast from the past! Nice to see you Semper! :)

 

As ever Stobz, the models are looking great!

[Interrogator Stobz]

Well, sorry for the large gap in between posts here, LI and other projects have taken over.

But I have finally finished all my son's Titans and Knights, proper finished, bases, transfers, and weathering. 

Here they go, with their LI support:

 

[Interrogator Stobz]

So, now the "bad guys" are done, I'm making dents in finishing my Loyalist force. 

 

WIP of my psi titan, I've gone with a bit of a different scheme, in order to get an esoteric feel. Still plenty to do though...

Those metallics are awesome. What paints have you used?

[Interrogator Stobz]

Hey Brother I can only assume the panel blue/purple and the face copper/red.

I bought a $40 airbrush and used these fantastic acrylics.

[Interrogator Stobz]

I also enhanced the glow and added a 'not Knight house Veronii' 'Imperial Crowned Skull with Imperial Lightening bolts' 

 

So, only really the base and weathering to go. Yay. I'll save that until I have some Knights and LI stuff to do at the same time.

 

Edit: and I've touched up those bits around the trim where I wasn't careful enough.

Clarity

[Mandragola]

That looks excellent. Brave of you to stick two draining guns on that thing though. Good luck!

[Interrogator Stobz]

Cheers Brother, TBH magnets are our friend.

The Weapon options available (to me) are Volkite (awfully useless, but looks cool) the fist with VMB,(better shooting than the Volkite, looks deadly), Plasma (mid tier, and boring) and Conversion (good and the coolest looking, but as you say, at a cost).

 

Edit: Doh, you meant the P-LBs and CBE. TBH haven't played AT in yonks, and misremembered everything.

I don't currently have an alternative carapace weapon, do you have a recommendation?

 

This guy will probably only walk in LI games. He's here as a paintjob because my blog is here, not there, and little else. But who knows, he may get some AT love in future.

Well for LI it's fine as draining isn't an issue. Conversion beamer looks good and will do good work.

 

In AT I think a Psi-titan probably wants missiles on the roof for their range, or I guess perhaps turbo lasers. Lots of its powers prevent it from moving so you want long-ranged weapons all round. I'm not too sure what to put on the right arm but a quake cannon or perhaps grav might be best. Macro gatling is always a nice option for the rare occasions when you're running around with the quickening.

 

I started and nearly finished building my own Psi-titan years ago. Maybe one day I'll finish it, and every time I see one like yours here it makes me want to. So many projects though!
