Adeptus Titanicus - Battlefield assets, terminal pins and markers - TO DONE! 🔴⚪

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Adeptus Titanicus - Battlefield assets, terminal pins and markers.


We've actually been playing with unpainted ones - now THAT is heresy! But as I'd foisted my Red Planet BASE!🔴 on Otty and his shed, then the next thing to do was paint my assets accordingly.


Alongside my own penchant for Blessed Verdigris 🗽


Void Shield Generator. I had no plan for glow effect. When I ended up with a 'radar' spin I realised one of the arms was going in the wrong direction... I ummed and aahed for all of 5 minutes before I was compelled to fix it.


Plasma Generator follows suit on my red glass insulator coils, rather than blue or even orange plasma glow FX.


Comms Radar Dish.


Command Bunker.


Missile Defence Battery.


Lost titan crew.


Titan firing templates, all shiny and gold. 


So much better using painted versions of these.


And fun to play around with gold. 4 new things painted.


OK, so here is where things get a bit tricky. Some numbered counters and triangular [or should that be hexagonal?] data pins. When I'm counting up 'models painted' should this be 11 or 2? 


Similarly, there are 42 pins here. How would you count them? Individually it seems like I'm gaming a system I have long tried to avoid for these very reasons. However, they are very fiddly to paint, even if small, so what counts when I come to my end of season review?


And another Great Big Wooden Stamp of Approval.



Here are the pics on a white background.


If you didn't already know, I love 😍 Blessed Verdigris 🗽

I'm so lazy when it comes to cleaning up models, you can still see lots of bits of sprue I should have trimmed off.
I think they all look so cool in close-up detail.
I had considered full on verdigris buttresses but thought red all the way. Maybe I'll get to play with some more and be adventurous next time...


My fallen titan head. I'll have to do a Warlord to go with it now. The Red Planet BASE!🔴 is a bit ropey here, which is a bit disappointing, but less obvious when on the mat or board.



The varnish is a bit more noticeable here, it seems to have clumped in some of the recesses. But it's a cheaper, thicker varnish so somewhat expected. 


We've got loads more of these but they're not on sprue, which will make them 10 times harder to paint, and even prime. Maybe they are worth 'one completed model' each! What do you think?


More TO DONE's to follow.

Terrain is everything - Adeptus Titanicus Ruins MDF kit - WHITE BACKGROUND PICS ⚪

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer MDF ruins for Adeptus Titanicus created by Nook and Noggin. Here are the pics on a white background, for those that prefer it.


Although the red background pics are better for my own context this does go some way to showing how it may look on Otty's grey board. Obviously this is much lighter but even so.


And actually I like how it stands out. This is not the first time my insane choice of Red Planet BASE! 🔴 has looked cool on pale 'boards'.


If I get some more I may consider adding additional detail strips and increasing the amount of Blessed Verdigris 🗽.


Although I am pleasantly surprised how the floor and wall markings add to the look of the interior.


Not to mention the simple cream drybrushing and then thinned burnt umber splodged on and then dabbed with a paper towel to give a mottled effect.


I think a little more detail could have been added to the original laser etched cracks.


They're very simple and not 'crack' like. Although that may make them quicker to etch. 


I obviously went a little overboard trying emphasise them and make them look more like structural damage than a single etched line alone.


I'm still dubious about the crenelated rooftop. 


It's just a little too chunky. I think it would have worked better on a 40k terrain piece than an Epic ruin.


But we live and learn.


Not sure if there's anything else to add, please just enjoy the remaining pics.
