#DreadTober Adeptus Titanicus - Warhound Titans

Afternoon #WarhammerCommunity it's the first of #DreadTober2026 and I need to crack on with my Adeptus Titanicus Warhound Titans pledge. Having recently finished my Cerastus Knights I'm somewhat burnt out hobby-wise. So 2 Warhounds may seem like a relatively small pledge, compared to 2 AT Warlord Titans for DreadTober 2025 but I'm still not sure it's doable with my current level of hobby mojo. Hopefully, the community spirit will provide the fuel to get me going. 

Even so, I know my hobby pace and I'd already built and [mostly] primed the titans months ago, ready to be picked back up in October. Firstly I wanted to adjust the pose, so I started with one leg.

I cut off the top thigh and used flower arranging wire to extend the piston behind the knee.

I then drilled a hole through the hip sockets and waist. This was to allow the wire to pass between legs and waist and provide a solid structure for it all to be glued to. I will then fill the gap with some modelling material. I think I just went with tile adhesive/grout rather than kneed some green stuff or Milliput together.

I constructed a base with cork. Smoothed it was tile adhesive and added crackle paint for the titan impact.

I like doing these sorts of bases but they do delay things a bit - extra construction work. But it was months ago so doesn't really matter now . Sorry about the blurred pic.

Anyway, they both got done

And I was not surprised when I noticed that I'd done similar poses to my recent [? it was 2 years ago!] Armigers.

But, as it was last Hobby Season I get a belated Great Big Chrome 'BIG BUILD' Stamp of Approval.

But the bases had not been painted, so my Red Planet BASE! 🔴 got done. I had mistakenly done a lot of the AP Rough Iron, which has been caught by the drybrushing.

Hopefully that'll be covered up by further metallic highlights but we'll see.

What worries me though is I have not primed the missing armour plates or heads. I have the sprue and could just do it but I know I have some already primed, basecoated and with the metallics done. 

I did them at the same time as my last Warhounds because they were spare, just in the off chance I ever did some more. Now that situation has come up and I'm not entirely sure where those bits are! Typical! 

In the mean time though I get my first  Great Big Amber 'BIG BUILD' BASE Stamp of Approval  of the season.

I also have a stretch goal of 2 Adeptus Titanicus Acastus Knight Porphyrions. Again these were secret squirrel projects that I was saving for DreadTober.

And the last of my Great Big Chrome 'BIG BUILD' Stamps of Approval.

Built and primed in March for completion in DreadTober 🤞 I did realise that keeping the guns separate would be easier, but only after I glued one set on.

I think when I was doing the Red Planet BASE! 🔴 on my Cerastus Knights I also did these at the same time.

Obviously there are still bits to do. I want to try and do the marble effect on these similar to my Red Marble Display Board 🔴.

There is so much detail on these knights, I have certain amount of dread [pun unintended but I'm embracing it now I spotted it] in painting them.

As stretch goal go they seem easy as they're not that big. And I've been surprised how quickly epic scale knights come together. But something about these worry me. 

So, despite all the planning and headstart in getting both the Warhounds and knights to a point I think is achievable...

For now I'm still giving myself my last belated Great Big Chrome 'BIG BUILD' BASE Stamp of Approval. And I'll give them a  Great Big Amber  one too when I do the marble bit, because I can 😝

Terrain is everything - Adeptus Titanicus Buildings and Ruins

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been working on these MDF buildings and ruins for Adeptus Titanicus for ages. I wanted to upgrade the simple design with the rooftops and edges but also use acetate in the windows with LED tea lights, which has made basing them somewhat challenging.  

After adding the usual extra card details to hide the MDF construction I also fitted out the roofs with some cross-stitch fabric for texture, some reinforcements and a variety of toy bits to create AC vents, lookout bunkers or access hatches. Just some kind of greeblie to make them interesting. I wanted to prime these with a paint before I used any spray primer. MDF is notoriously thirsty for sprays. So I mixed up a black masonry paint, some PVA and a small amount of the finest sand for a bit of texture.

Now the sand was a mistake, as even though I tried to sieve it to get only the smallest grains it added far too much texture. And, even trying to scrape them off proved my paint/PVA combo was rock hard and the larger grains refused to budge.

Also, I had some spare bits which allowed me to create some additional ruined pieces but these were slow going in deciding how to do them, which further delayed the buildings themselves.

But it's more terrain and if can get the Cerastus Knights done I might be able to round out my hobby season with these.

More importantly I'd then be able to take them to Otty's shed, to go with the rest of the AT terrain. 

They currently take up a lot of space in my shelves and it'd be nice to have that space back for my next set of projects.

 Great Big Chrome 'BIG BUILD' Stamps of Approval.

Oh, and there's a piece of TT-Combat scatter terrain of a plasma generator that I think might work in AT as well. I added some additional banding on the outer arch with some gemstone 'rivets' and a gemstone light on the inside.

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.
