Adeptus Titanicus - Cerastus Knight Lancers - WHITE PICS ⚪

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my remaining #AdeptusTitanicus Cerastus Knight Lancers and here are the pics on a white background for the connoisseur.


The heraldry on knights can be a lot of fun to do, but also kill the momentum of a project.


I was quite lucky here in that not being the case.


I also had the advantage of being able to add some Legio Gryphonicus decals too, just to reinforce their commitment to the Titan order.


I randomly decided to add yellow lightning bolts on the shin pad as kill markings. I was only going to do 3, but it looked a little WW2 war symbol, so I added more to make it a pattern.


I love doing the chevrons but the shin on es should be going up at the middle rather than down. I was copying a previous one that went down and now I see it's the opposite of what's on the carapace. Nevermind.


The decals add such a history to the model, which technically it doesn't have!



The orange plasma glow worked great in some places, but the eyes are a bit ropey on both of them, but I can live with it.


Some top down views so you can see how the carapace and shoulder pads were painted.


And the set of 4. As much as I hanker for the 40k Cerastus I think it's just Lancers I'm after for Adeptus Titanicus.


That said, I do want some Questoris so I can copy my 40k knights in epic scale. Until then I hope you enjoyed all these little giant robots.

Adeptus Titanicus - Cerastus Knight Lancers - TO DONE! 🔴

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my remaining #AdeptusTitanicus Cerastus Knight Lancers. I genuinely thought I'd be over painting little giant robots after the titans were done, but it seems I'm not.


These two fellas were a lot fun to finish off and it meant I didn't have to focus on the Lion or my Tyranids.


I'll be honest my enthusiasm and momentum is somewhat lacking at the moment. 


There's just one month left in the season and I don't feel I have the energy to get much done.



We'll see though, but I've blogging to catch up with and a new hobby season to conjure up.


But I did enjoy fitting these in and they were much quicker/easier to do than I had imagined.


One worry is that GW have just announced a twin box for the Cerastus Acheron and Castigator!


I am sorely tempted. I always wanted the Acheron and when the Lancer came out I always hoped one would come with some kind of gatling weapon.


That said I'd been planning on the Acheron and getting 3rd party bits to make the Castigator. 


3D printed sword and using the baneblades Vulcan Mega Bolter to make the gun. It'd be cheaper and I can't ever imagine running 3 Cerastus.


Certainly not if they don't make the Imperial Knights Codex, which is still unconfirmed.


Not to mention there have been rumours of a different knight coming in plastic, who knows what I might want instead.


But for now, these guys are done. I may actually talk about painting them in the white background pics 😂


Another Bloody Great Big Bloody Stamps of Bloody Approval!

Adeptus Titanicus - Cerastus Knight Lancers

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my remaining #AdeptusTitanicus Cerastus Knight Lancers. I genuinely didn't think I'd get back onto these so soon after the titans. However, I had done a little bit more on the Lion, wasn't feeling inspired to continue with it and hopped back onto these.


And from a position where the gold was mostly done and red was basecoated it hasn't taken too much to get these moved on. Getting the red, black and yellow in place so I know what what each scheme is going to be has been really motivating.


Shading then on all the metallics and on some of the basecoats. Once again the washes seeped underneath the Gamboge Art Acrylic, leaving 'pruned' ripples in places across the surface.


I can fix the worst bits with battle damage, but some additional highlights will also help obscure this anomaly. They're almost complete now. Decals are next, then I can add some highlights, limited battle damage and weathering.


Then lastly - glow FX on the lance and shield. Really surprised how quick I turned these around - easier to paint than a Space Marine. I've no idea why I was reluctant to get these boxed off!

Adeptus Titanicus - Titans in Manufactorum - WHITE PICS ⚪

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my #AdeptusTitanicus Titans and here are the pics on a white background for the connoisseur.


I definitely think the damage and weathering helps with the decals.


Aside from making them look part of the colour scheme it helps fill some of the ungainly gaps I was concerned about.


I'm not sure I need to say much else, that I haven't already said before.


So perhaps I just need to leave the pictures to speak for themselves - enjoy!
