Adeptus Titanicus - Grey 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 and no, it's not deja vu! 


This is a second set of battlefield assets, this time in grey to better match some of Otty's other boards.


I also wanted to try out more use of silver. If I ever get round to my Cerastus and Warlord Titans I want to use silver more.


Not to mention my Guardians of the Covenant in silver. Stretching myself with a colour I rarely use so I'm more comfortable with it is never a bad thing.


To be fair it's not rockets science, gun metal, dark wash, gun metal highlight, silver highlight. Maybe a little more shading.


And, at a pinch, some Blessed Verdigris 🗽.


The good thing about Verdigris is it doesn't just appear on copper and brass.


I'd go so far as to argue it looks even more impressive on silver. But that's because it adds a splash of colour to what is essentially monochrome.


I also did a Legio Krytos Warlord Titan crew for Liam.


Priority badge.


Which again looks better when you can see the verdigris.


And the titan fire arc templates. They would have been so tiresome without that patina.


The extra shading provided sufficient contrast to make them more exciting.


The counters too. Maybe the verdigris was a bit too much on these but I'm not going to lose sleep on it. This will count as 2 models.


And another 44 terminal pins. I'll be treating this as 7 models in my hobby season count.


They look pretty cool.



As we reach the exact halfway point of the Season of Wood another Great Big Wooden Stamp of Approval. How are you doing in the hobby season?


Here are the pics on a white background.









These do look better n a white background.

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.
