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.

Battle Record - Adeptus Titanicus 02/04/26

Afternoon and I'm back at Otty's shed and we're finishing our game of Adeptus Titanicus. Sadly Liam took poorly and ended up in A&E and an Easter stay on the ward - send best wishes. Good friends as we are we played on regardless! It's what he would have wanted.

I think I had quite the plan on how to fight back this turn but the Gatling Reaver was pulverised. It stumbled into the Warhound and then flew backwards - Engine KILL! 

I'm finding how far a titan can fall somewhat disproportionate based on it's 'scale', when these things can't move that distance normally. We decided to First Fire with the Warlord and destroy the building in front to get a clear shot of the advancing Titan.

We were down to just the Reaver, Warlord and Warhound. At this stage the nearest Warlord seemed the biggest threat so we focused on that.

With the Warhound trying to get into its table quarter. But it got shot with a Quake Cannon by the Warlord on the right, not only were its legs damaged but movement and turns were halved. I think the Reaver had similar too. But the Warlord got a good bead on the Chaos Warlord and although we couldn't aim with its Quake Cannon 

We got double 6's for damage on the Head - critical hits, enough to take it down.

The Concussive hits spinning it into the buildings - Engine KILL!

The Reaver took damage but Ben was unhappy because he'd targeted one area and if he'd chosen the legs it would have gone down. As the game had intensified we weren't overly keen on charity at this stage so we carried on, much to his annoyance. 

As the dust settled the other Warlord headed for our deployment zone, pushing reactors to move and turn and just getting it's toe in. We were going to lose our VPs now.

Another Engine KILL! on the Warhound, probably from the backfield camper. The Reaver was damaged, so couldn't contest that table quarter.

But our Warlord had turned and the Quake Cannon's Concussive shells just managed to spin it back out of our DZ. That one dice roll took the game out of Ben's reach. I'm not sure what the final score was but having extended the game for a turn it ended after this.

As we had time we se tup another smaller game. Similar lists but Ben getting to use his Orks. Terrain was less spread out, instead cutting down the fields of fire between units. We had to save our Titan crew up and right of the centre of the board.

Having got to the middle of the board Ben was able to surprise us with his Cerastus [equivalent] Knights charging the Reaver. But we got in with Questoris Knights first. We struggled a bit with the rules at this point, but the outcome was the Ork Knights took damage, but not enough.

In retaliation Ben went for the Reaver and with a new game we were a little more charitable suggesting which order his weapons should hit. The game can be so complex I didn't blame him for disagreeing with us but eventually he took the hint and Engine KILL!, spinning it around.

Where it smashed into the building and collapsed.

Wiping out half the Questoris in the process.

So, we're a bit scuppered at this stage, who knows how it will end...

Adeptus Titanicus - Extra Warlord titan weapons

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer some extra Warlord titan weapons. Liam was able to find some .stl files for the Quake Cannon and Conversion Beam Extirpator. With the Quake Cannon not having the Draining trait it's a reasonable compromise instead of a Volcano Cannon. Not quite as strong but less intensive on the plasma reactor. Anyway, this was after priming and some base coats. 

Here's some additional highlights on the metallics and some of the armour plates had their base colours added. Alongside this I had a couple of extra Melta Lances for Armiger Warglaives. I'd previously had some 3D printed ones that burst apart because the resin had never fully cured inside. An interesting lesson, hopefully these titan weapons avoid that issue, they do have a couple of vent holes in so I have faith any emissions have somewhere to escape [if that's how it works?]. 

As these required no building and do not come with a base there are now Hobby Season Stamps I can give, BOO!

Battle Record - Adeptus Titanicus 26/03/26

Afternoon and after a couple of weeks where I couldn't attend Otty's shed I'm back! And we're starting a new game of Adeptus Titanicus - we're masochists! 🤣

Liam decided to field 3 Warlords, whereas I wanted more titanic feet on the ground with 2 Warhounds, 2 Reavers and a Warlord with Quake Cannon and Conversion Beam Extirpator. It did mean that I ended up with a lot of weapons suitable for stripping shields, but only a few that could deliver the killing blow

Knowing how Liam usually plays [at the back of the board] I was overjoyed to get the Hold the Line mission that meant I get more points depending on how close he is to my board edge. He and Ben had pulled table quarters, so he was also at a disadvantage as he could only score 3 out of 4. I decided to fire a Concealment Barrage which forced Liam to move a bit so his titans could still shoot. 

But it turned out their chaos 'blessed' titans were a little more grumpy than expected and one decided to just charge through the city in the middle of the board. Giving it lots of cover, to my annoyance. 

Otty and I sent the Warhounds forward, pushing the reactor, which promptly went into the orange, which caused a shutdown of its void shields. With no protection left the Warlord pounded it until it fell silent. In return we sent a tracer cloud toward the advancing Warlord, but any benefit for shooting through the cover was lost as Quake Cannon fire spun it out of the tracer cloud. At least it's approach had been stalled.

Further shots slammed into it I think taking out most of its weapons and putting a few structure points on the body and head. I think a lot of our other Titans were doing OK, but the unnecessary loss of that Warhound was really frustrating. 

We'd held onto first player for the three turns we managed to play. Liam and and Ben's advance had put them in a  good position. 

But if we could take out one or both of their Warlords that had pushed forward and contest each of the quarters with our own Titans we may well tip the scales in our favour.

I think we were starting to grasp things a lot more this time around. The game was much quicker and easier to follow. However, coming to the conclusion that Void Shield Relays are massively OP. I mean we both had them but Liam and Ben barely took a void sheild of our Warlord. Every time they suggested targeting it was followed by 'what's the point?'. We may well house rule them out of use in future. The game feels a little unproductive with them in it and getting all the void shields down makes it more tactical to avoid this and the game quicker if you don't.

We should finish it off next week.
