#DreadTober Adeptus Titanicus - Warlord Titan 2 - Yellow and decals

Afternoon #Warhammer Community it's the thirteenth of #DreadTober2025 and my stretch goal Warlord didn't quite make it. My fantastic progress from Warlord 1 didn't quite carry over to Warlord 2. A number of things came up in the last week that allowed me to take a step away and come back to it slightly refreshed and invigorated. I had done all the yellow highlights before this, but obviously didn't take pictures before adding the decals.


And the decals were part of the reason I had delayed. I already knew it had been a slog on the first one, but this is over 4 hours worth of work. Nearly 60 decals are on this titan and it's alternate weapon options! I'd say I'm happy with most of them, the Gatling Blaster has a quartered cog that is a bit ropey.


But we're well aware at this point that battle damage will help tone some of these down and fix those that look like they're not in the the right place. I also had a few times where the decal ripped, or folded on itself. 3 times I had to try on one gun armour plate to get the decal I wanted. Hopefully it's easier now back to just painting. 


I am considering not varnishing the front of the gun armour plates so I can add 'engine kill' markings. I added a couple already but I stopped when I had the idea. So I've all the battle damage still to do. Some additional highlights on all the lenses and reds. The gold needs a highlight so it's less like my brassy bronze. I want to add some blessed verdigris 🗽to the silver skeleton. Yes, I know it seems odd but it does happen in reality and I've already shown it works on my silver battlefield assets.


So, there we go for #DreadTober2025 I've already been looking at next year's badge, but the initial results weren't as I'd hoped. So, I'm going to learn from this experience, take a break and come back refreshed and invigorated.
