Adeptus Titanicus - Extra Warlord titan weapons - TO DONE! ⚪

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my additional Warlord Titan weapons. These came together really quickly as I thought we had a Thursday gaming session coming up. But instead my son had his monthly Teenage Cancer Trust social event. So they've not been used yet.

Decals were their usual fiddly self. I split the black cog symbol, tried to remove a bit from the middle so it wasn't too distorted but it is a bit rugby ball shaped rather than a circle.

The inner side of the Quake cannon's armour is just grey.

The second [right-hand] cannon has the heraldry colours I've been using. Quartered for the House Raven affiliation, Titan honour badge, Dark Angels affiliation and the black and yellow chevron - will this ever be my AdMech army? Who knows?

Inner armour grey, as it should be.

The Conversion Beamer, the Aethermatic Blue isn't Blessed Verdigris 🗽BTW. It's either some aetheric glow, or the metal has anodised in a similar way to a thermal bloom. 

I maybe could have done red cables on this but I just wanted to get them done.

And having only the upper armour plates meant these were quicker to get through.

I mean they are rough, but good enough when put alongside the rest of the titan.

And the extra Warglaive thermal lances

I used Stormfiend Contrast paint in the melta heat bloom. 

I think I got much richer colours on that than my older one [the on in the middle]. But again, very consistent with this technique nowadays.

A Great Big Chrome Stamps of Approval according to my spreadsheet this is worth 8 points. Therefore, this brings me up to 206 points for the season so far.

 

And just to finish off some pics of the new weapons on my Warlord.

The Extirpator gives 2 shots, rather than the 1 of the Volcano cannon. Both draining and the Conversion Beamer has a slightly shorter range but worth the extra few points.

The alternate weapons

And close-ups.

The Quake is a definite choice at only 20 points. It might be only Strength 9 but the Concussive rule might prove valuable too.

Adeptus Titanicus - Extra Warlord titan weapons

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer some extra Warlord titan weapons. Liam was able to find some .stl files for the Quake Cannon and Conversion Beam Extirpator. With the Quake Cannon not having the Draining trait it's a reasonable compromise instead of a Volcano Cannon. Not quite as strong but less intensive on the plasma reactor. Anyway, this was after priming and some base coats. 

Here's some additional highlights on the metallics and some of the armour plates had their base colours added. Alongside this I had a couple of extra Melta Lances for Armiger Warglaives. I'd previously had some 3D printed ones that burst apart because the resin had never fully cured inside. An interesting lesson, hopefully these titan weapons avoid that issue, they do have a couple of vent holes in so I have faith any emissions have somewhere to escape [if that's how it works?]. 

As these required no building and do not come with a base there are now Hobby Season Stamps I can give, BOO!

Death Guard - Space Marine 'Heroes' - TO DONE! 🔴⚪⚫

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer Death Guard from the Space Marine Heroes Season 3 set. This is Morslug, armed with a plague spewer and was sent to me by Marc from Old School Gaming.

He had a load of MESBG miniatures he never used and thought my mates would welcome them, which we did and he had this too and knew I'd been building the Death Guard up. In return we sent him a care package full of 2nd edition figures for his 2nd edition armies.

So this guy had been hanging around half-finished and it was actually the catalyst for the Blight Hauler. In truth this got finished first. I'm usually not one for tolerating a lapse in chronological order, but at some point you have to ask yourself Does it Really Matter?

Anyway, I love it and his little Nurgling, which I thought would be fun in a pus-coloured mustard.

Another individual gets the Great Big MINOR Chrome Stamp of Approval worth 1 point. This brings me up to 198 points for the season so far.

And also the pics on a white background/

And the view from the back. I love the fungal growths on the back pack and helmet, that I got to make look like the ones in the other tar bases.

It's almost like they spread that infection - who knows what it is? I bet Professor Egon Seuss would know.

And on black background for the true grimdark experience.

Could you imagine this thing coming at you out of the dark. I think, for me, they're probably the most horrifying faction in all of 40k - the one I'd least like to meet.

So there we go. A new project is waiting in the wings, what can it be?

Death Guard - Myphitic Blight Hauler - WHITE and BLACK BACKGROUND PICS ⚪⚫

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on a Death Guard Myphitic Blight Hauler and here are the TO DONE! pics on a white background for those that want them unadulterated, without context. But, also the bonus black background pics for those that really appreciate the Grimdark. Here's a rotation.

And on the [off]white background. Yeah, not sure why it's a little creamy...

Not a huge amount of gloss varnish - the eye, mandibles and teeth, red fleshy bits and Tamiya Clear Red X-27 for the blood on the weeping sores.

Really do like the subtle effect of that decal on the track armour.

Gloss varnish on all the red fleshy bits.

I tried to match a pale scorpion sting for the 'tail'.

It worked out OK, although two or three times I accidentally brushed against it while wash and contrast paint was on it so it's a bit blobby.

I may need to look at getting some Death Guard/Nurgle decals...

Because of the size of the base I used a different gloss black fabric paint for the tar. It's less structural, so there are areas that are almost just the normal plastic base, just glossy.

But I think that's OK, it doesn't have to be perfectly smooth.

But where I wanted 'Venom-like' tar strands I used the 3D texture fabric paints to stretch drips and globs. This track is meant to be off the ground as it's cornering on 2 of its 3 tracks.

And the tar strands on the other track. It was also slightly disheartening to paint the track treads black and then gloss them when I had already done them with metallics and weathering. But they would be covered with tar. I just need to not worry about that step next time.

And here we have it on a black background, because it's Grimdark!

A bit of adjustments to get it coming out of the dark, hope you enjoy the pics.

And because I loved it so much, I got another. Although I want to hack at the front a bit to make it look different, which inevitably means whatever momentum I had from finishing the first one will be gone as I convert the second.
