#DreadTober Adeptus Titanicus - Warlord Titan 2 - WHITE BACKGROUND PICS ⚪

Afternoon #Warhammer Community it's the very last of #DreadTober2025 and my stretch goal Warlord showcase pictures on white background.

I think the side panels of yellow worked really well and that white cog on the blue weapon armour plate looks much cooler than the grey one I've already done. 

I wanted the access hatch to be yellow, but forgot to highlight the black edges. I'm not sure anyone will notice [or care] but I think that spot of yellow really helps break up the back. Although, I'm not convinced the silver skeleton was the best choice.

I can live with it but like I said in my previous post, enough is enough. I'm better off sticking to brassy bronze. I know it, I have the paints and I just think it looks better.

Even the bright gold is something I'm not 100% happy with. Mainly because it should be easy to do but I've somehow made it more difficult and not convinced it's as good as some of the easy tutorials I've seen online.

The sneaky Reaver kneepad on the left, versus the kneepad that has had its bottom trim cut off, maybe to help pose the model originally.

Plasma weaponry.

You can better see the additional blue glow effects I did on the coils at the back of the cannons.

And the opposite side too.

Trying to get a decent shot of the trophy Warhound head, painted in the style of Liam's Titans - he started it putting damaged grey and yellow heads and weapons on his bases.

The gatling options.

And perhaps a decent look at the Void Shield Generator glow effects. 

I did like trying different white heraldry patterns on the blue weapon armour.

Gryphonicus is predominantly grey and yellow, but blue was an original accent colour of the War Griffons.

I may have gone slightly overboard here, but I needed to add some extra blue to help reinforce it's part of the scheme, with my Reaver that has blue. And the added white patterns help reduce the overall density of blue on the model.

But I think I prefer the first one overall, although I really like the weapons on the second one.

Looking forward to getting to play with them at some point too.

Now, before I close this project for good I made one additional change after all the pictures. I added weathering powder to its feet.

No fixative, just brushed it on. A mix of both Rust Orange and Rust Red, to help match the Ferron Proxima colours.

It just felt too unnatural, the 'blue steel' next to the Red Planet BASE! 🔴 

And arguably it may have made the transition between feet and base almost seamless, I don't think that's a bad thing.

It really depends if you want the feet to stand separate from the base. I looked at adding it to my first Warlord but I thought it was less of an issue.

I definitely think it works much better from this view. Perhaps it creates a more realistic scale that this is a miniature of a giant machine.

And ultimately, if I wasn't happy, a wet paint brush could remove it in an instant!

Anyway, job done. Lets have a break and then we can see what's next...

#DreadTober Adeptus Titanicus - Warlord Titan 2 - TO DONE! 🔴

Afternoon #Warhammer Community it's the last of #DreadTober2025 and my stretch goal Warlord titan was a bridge too far. With the deadline passed my motivation was somewhat curtailed. Add in some bad weather and a bit of burnout and my desire to go into the shed to paint has been lacking.

But I managed to finally get everything done. Once again a structured check list, made of tiny post-it notes is a handy way to list what tasks are outstanding. 

It can be too hard to have all that needs to be done just rattling around in your head. And, with lots to do, where it can be overwhelming, you're able to have bitesize tasks to help breakdown the enormity, which helps make it manageable.

Especially when you have multiple weapon options, which can be fiddly and tiresome. It never seems to end and often those options require different colour schemes. For instance, the torn off Warhound head in the power claw, or tweaking the heat bloom on the gatling weapons.

Even the plasma, which had come airbrushed had been tweaked to match how I do blue plasma, with added highlights.

Even the back of the weapons had some additional blue glow added, but I had to try and match what was in the main plasma coils, without using and airbrush! And the green glow of the eye lenses.

The las weapons also needed red glass effects and gloss varnish.

And lets not forget all the battle damage I had to add. I mean it's not hard to do now, some sponging, plus some additional brush strokes. Followed by some sepia washes to age the damage.

I mean this Titan is battered, maybe too much. The size of the damage would be huge in real life, but then I thought a lot of the weapons firing at these are big too. Using your small arms fire on this towering machine is pretty redundant.

And if a big gun fails to do physical damage it may well do superficial marking of it's armour at the least. So I don't feel it's over the top or excessive, but I accept it looks like it has gone through a few battles.

And alongside it's brother. It is amazing how much height the base and pose adds to the size compared to the 'braced' Warlord..

At this point I am thinking he reminds me a bit of Eric Morecambe:

Maybe there's some lore to be created on that...

And alongside the Reavers. Again I'm not sure the yellow legs have worked as well as the Reaver on the right. Maybe the silver toes weren't enough to sell it... So will I still try it on one of my Cerastus nights? Time will tell, but I have definitely decided not to paint them with silver sub-structures. This was an exercise I've explored and I think I'm just better off with the brassy bronze.

A Great Big Chrome Stamps of Approval and a Great Big Minor Chrome Stamp of Approval for the additional weapons [although maybe worth a normal stamp rather than a Minor...?] FYI, according to my spreadsheet this is worth 18 points. 10pts for the Titan and its normal compliment of weapons. Then I did 8 additional weapons, which I treated as 1 point each [25mm bases]. I'm not sure how representative this feels because the Titan took a fair bit more effort than the extra weapons. Although, I'm well aware of just how draining extra options can be. I think it's best not to dwell too much on the details, that's what put me off this system originally. So, this brings me up to 83 points for the season so far.
