Shovellovin Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Your Legio is coming along splendidly! I'm really liking your cream/bone colour. Thank you, Lord Uglor! I tried a few different ways of painting the color scheme before I settled on this one. Indeed, very nice Legio. Any ideas for the bases? Unfortunately, I won't be able to get any basing done until my local FLGS opens back up. I currently don't have plasticard to create the type of bases that I'd like. For now, I'll just chugging along on the titans. Excellent stuff, your titans are gorgeous, a pleasure to the eyes! Thank you, Mendi Warrior! I'm really enjoying working on these models. Here is my first Reaver. Like my other Warlord, I haven't named it yet. I need to get on it. edit - I hope ForgeWorld continues to add weapon options for the Titanicus line. I love warp missile. I've no idea how effective it is in game but I just love the idea of a gigantic warp missile on the back of a titan.

Mandragola Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Looking good. I don't envy you painting all that white. I made a promise to myself never to do a white army again after once doing white marines, and I'm sticking to it. Respect to people who can pull it off.

Shovellovin Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Made some progress on another reaver. And took a better photo of the other reaver. Thank you Bjorn Firewalker and Interrogator Stobz. @Mandragola - Yeah, the white is a lot of work. I almost went for Gryphonicus because of it but decided to just do it. I plan on painting some House Vornherr knights soon. I must be a glutton for punishment.

Gore Crow Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Real nice Praesagius, love the colours you've used. 5 burning titan transports/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Curious to know what your recipe and process for the white is, if you don't mind sharing it. :) Anyway, they look great. The various stripes you've painted really add to the overall good look of your Titans. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The various stripes you've painted really add to the overall good look of your Titans. Thank you, Dosjetka. My white recipe is: prime with premium Vallejo white primer, then paint over the primer with thinned down Abeitlung 502 Buff oil paint, then remove the excess with a q-tip leaving the cream in the recesses, then use AK Streaking Grime for some weathering. Thank you, Gore Crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 I'm getting some work done on my Warhound. After this one I'll do another and then get to work on another Warlord. I like all the Titanicus models but I love the Warlord model. I haven't touched any of the knights I have. Soon.

Fajita Fan Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Knights are fun but if I could do them all again I'd leave the arms off for painting if you care about detailing the exoskeletons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrypie Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yeah, everything is easier in subassemblies. That said, I did paint my Acastoi in one piece... Lots of things can be forgiven and hidden by focusing on what's in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Okay no joke, I would magnetize the Acastus arms, I did and I'm glad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Going to be doing the same legio myself. Their background is great. Will be reading and following this thread with great interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Thank you, calgar101. Like you, the background of the Legio, drew me to Praesagius. I like the idea of a Legio only using force when necessary to achieve compliance during the Great Crusade. I wrapped up my first warhound. Like the other titans I've painted, I'll work on the bases when I'm able to go to my FLGS to pick up some plasticard. Until the, I'll keep plugging away on my AT models. Whelp, I tried to upload this picture as a video but can't get it to play.

Mandragola Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 That’s a very cool looking Titan. The white and blue are both really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 That's really well done. Thank you, Fajita Fan. The more AT models I paint the more I refine my process. I'm amassing a nice size legio now. That’s a very cool looking Titan. The white and blue are both really nice. Thank you, Mandragola. I'm glad that I stuck with Praesagius even though when I first started I was kicking myself for picking a legio with so much white in the color scheme. Here is my latest model; a warhound. It's still very much a WIP but I'm making good progress on it. Once this model is completed I'll have two warlords, two reavers and two warhounds. I'll probably go back to painting up more warlords since I still have two that are partially assembled. Once I've finished the warlords I'll get to work on some knights.

Mendi Warrior Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Very nice warhound! And plenty more to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 After a two year hiatus I finally decided to base my titans. Honestly, I wish I would have started a long time ago; the basing makes a huge difference. I used plasticard to give the base a courtyard feel, chopped one of the buildings from the terrain set, added cork for rubble around the base and then textured the rest of the base to make it look like a warzone. I'm very happy with the result. I still need to make a few changes but I think my AT mojo is back. I'll base the rest of my legio and then work on the two (or is it three?) warlord titans that I still need to finish.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Excellent work on the Warhound and its base. Shovellovin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Good to see you back, and that's nice basing. It's quite hard to make the Civitas terrain into convincing ruins, but I think you've done well there. Shovellovin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Agreed, that's great work, both on the titan and the base. Shovellovin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Nice! Terrain that almost tells a story really lifts the minis, and he's a great looking Hound at that. Shovellovin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoon Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Welcome back, and it looks like you're hitting the ground running! One fun additional thing you can do is to "crack" your plasticard around the foot of the Titan to give an impression of weight.
