Tichinde Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) So, after a lot of badgering from my wargaming buddies I finally picked up the Starter set and dipped my toe into Titanicus As a Thousand Sons player there was only really one choice for the Legio for me, Xestobiax! I also sold the 2 warhounds from the set and purchased a 3rd Reaver (Xestobiax doesn't really go for scout titans) but first I had to figure out the purple: far left was the winner. Kantor blue base, Druchii Violet wash with xerus purple layer/drybrush. anyway, based on the pic from Inferno, here is how I got on to start with: I opted for Unreal wargaming bases as I am not the greatest at making bases (and they are amazing): and here is the maniple so far: Currently working on a third Reaver and more weapon options. along with some more base decor: and had a crazy idea for the other Launcher....(spoiler alert, it turns out really well) Edited February 3, 2021 by Tichinde Noserenda, Gederas, Xenith and 14 others 17 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368879-tichs-teeny-tiny-titans-of-tizca/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Looking good thus far. And that Apocalypse missile thing...

Tichinde Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 so duly armed with my drill, some foliage clumps and Reiver Grappling hooks I set to work: and it all came together quite well: I like the sound of the Corsair Maniple, that's the one with the Movement shennanigans? maybe one day once lockdown is over they might make it onto a tabletop :-) Dosjetka, Chaeron, Brother Dallo and 9 others 12 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368879-tichs-teeny-tiny-titans-of-tizca/#findComment-5663806 Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoon Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 First, welcome Princeps Tichinde! You made the right call on the blue/purple mix - it looks great on the Reavers. ...and using the Reivers grapnel as a missile trail is inspired! I'm going to have to steal that idea.

Lord_Borak Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Purple, White and Gold. You cant go wrong with those colours ;) Great execution and the missiles firing is nothing short of EPIC (see what I did there?). It really goes to show how much Ive fallen behind with the current GW range of marines. I had no idea those things you used for the missiles existed.

Tichinde Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thanks all! I have half a plan to model some void shield impacts someday but that might take a bit more work. Currently just about done the third Reaver. And hopefully a Warlord in the not-too-distant future....

Sword Brother Adelard Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 There's an STL of a shield segment made my a company called Deadly Print Studio which may assist?

Tichinde Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 There's an STL of a shield segment made my a company called Deadly Print Studio which may assist? Yup, that's roughly the idea. I have a couple of clear sphere halves to use as a base. The trick is attaching them to the Titan ☺ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368879-tichs-teeny-tiny-titans-of-tizca/#findComment-5664509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Superb work Tich - the bases set them off so nicely, and the execution of the scheme is top notch. Great stuff!

Doctor Perils Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Looking awesome :tu: There's an STL of a shield segment made my a company called Deadly Print Studio which may assist?Yup, that's roughly the idea. I have a couple of clear sphere halves to use as a base. The trick is attaching them to the Titan ☺ Some kind of "energy flare" leading from the void shield generators to the "point of impact". You could probably embed a brass rod bent at 90°, pierced through one or more void shield generators, then green stuff energy/lightning effects up to the sphere portion (I think you can get clear plastic balls from a lot of craft shops, for pretty cheap too), then explosion effect and leading rocket effects that you've obviously mastered to hide the end of the rod. If you plan it well, you'd probably be able to make this assembly detachable from the titan for transport/storage, perhaps with a magnetised VSGenerator interchangeable for one without the whole assembly, so it's easier to play with? If you manage it, keep us updated on the process!

Tichinde Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 hmmm, I hadn't thought of that, I might be able to use the warp lightning spell (or similar) to attach it, great idea! I have a clear "fill your own" christmas Bauble that once cut up will work fine for the shield itself. I also like the idea of it being removable. and some progress on number 3: Dosjetka 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368879-tichs-teeny-tiny-titans-of-tizca/#findComment-5665277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Again, excellent work. I appreciate your attention to detail. What's on the Reaver's right pauldron? A symbol of a shield with a skull upon it?

Lord_Borak Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Really nice. Where'd you get the little banner from? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368879-tichs-teeny-tiny-titans-of-tizca/#findComment-5666089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tichinde Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 The Xestobiax badge is from a 3d printing site, think it was popgoesthemonkey. They are a little big but fine for what I needed (until GW does a transfer sheet!). The banners are simply scaled down printouts based on the one from Inferno with some basic editing in Word/paint (to make them look different) and attached to a paperclip and jewellery chain ☺ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368879-tichs-teeny-tiny-titans-of-tizca/#findComment-5666100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Borak Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Ah fair enough. I've been trying to find titan campaign banners to print off but can't really seem to find any. My Google-Fu is failing me.
