#DreadTober Adeptus Titanicus - Warlord Titan - Basecoat armour plates

Afternoon #WarhammerCommunity it's the third of #DreadTober2025 and I've continued to add metallics to my Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan. As XarfaiEngel and Dam predicted a bit of colour, however poorly applied to the armour plates, does wonders to move this on. 

GVC Stonewall Grey for the grey and Instar IV-17 for the Orange. But why orange when the panels need to be yellow? Well it's a better base than what was previously there and when I apply the yellow there will be flashes of orange I don't catch or cover.

This will blend with the sepia wash to make a decent shade at the edges. Some warm orange and sepia brown works really well.

Meanwhile the grey is also patchy because after shading the grey is a mottled effect. So any dapples now just add to the texture I need to create. It's quite forgiving, although I somehow do not look forward to it.

Instar Vinatage IV-16 for the yellow. It is insane how yellow this looks, when the paint itself looks just like a sand colour. Maybe that's thanks to the orange base...?

The Stonewall Grey has been washed with a thinned Basilcanum Grey Contrast and it's add yet more texture and mottling. Hopefully, that will help with when I do the highlights. Although I am really pleased with the progress I'm already apprehensive about the highlights. I don't know why I just have doubts about their execution.

The blue areas had Bahama Blue added and some basecoats on Stonewall Grey where white areas of the livery will be. I still need to basecoat the machine cogs on the carapace black and white.

I know it's early day but I keep thinking the pattern of the colours is a bit basic. That I could have played around with the choices a little more. However, I am basing the scheme on the Iron Regent, a Legio Gryphonicus titan in the Adeptus Titanicus rule book. I will be adding a lot more decals and heraldry on the gun plates. So there will be a more going on, as well as battle damage. 

But also, there will be white chevrons on the outside of the legs, which will be a new feature in my livery. I just need to get to that point so I feel it's interesting. But before that I need to push forward with the mottling.
