Adeptus Titanicus - Questoris and Cerastus Knights in Manufactorum - WHITE BACKGROUND PICS ⚪

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Adeptus Titanicus Questoris and Cerastus Knights. First the Cerastus Atrapos.

I usually prefer the red background pics but I do like them on white here.

It helps bring out all the extra glow FX,

The green and orange glows look really vibrant.

And I'm really pleased how they've come out

I still might not be convinced of the 'snow-capped' white bits on the shin guards, but the simple conversion on the gun is a triumph.

Alongside one of my 'test' Lancers to check I was getting things consistent.

And the Questoris

The are SOOO cute!

Adeptus Titanicus - Questoris and Cerastus Knights in Manufactorum - TO DONE! 🔴

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer and I've finished my Adeptus Titanicus Questoris and Cerastus Knights. First the Cerastus Atrapos. As worried as I was about losing my dark red the rich red I achieved makes them look like juicy apples. Yes, I also picked out the rivets, with only a couple of blotches.

I'm still not convinced about the white tops to the yellow shins, although some Strong Tone wash helped weather them in a bit. This was a bit of a test and it's made me re-think if I would do the same on my Castigator...

I've not done any battle damage. There are so many details already it felt like adding battle damage and sponging would overwhelm the models. With too much going sometimes I think it's hard to parse what you're actually looking at in such a small model.

I didn't really explain, but I did a simple conversion on the Graviton Singularity Cannon. I cut the nub off the end and split the four quarters so I could splay them out. 

I then put a pin in the centre, to replace the nub and create a focus point similar to the Forgeworld version. This could represent the 'singularity'  firing mode.

While the closed version is the 'contained' mode that is non-hazardous

Worth noting the yellow stripe on the red toes. Again, I don't usually paint their feet but this is something I hope to do on my Castigator and this was also test.

As subtle as it is, I really like it and I'm looking forward to doing the bigger models eventually.

And the Questoris, which are SOOO cute. See what I mean about detail? 

It's overwhelming already. Thankfully it also hides a multitude of sins as putting a marking here or there distracts from the most basic of highlights on the red and black.

Euronymous got brought up to speed too. His badge was simplified for the scale, or gain it would have been indecipherable at such a small size.

The rocket pods felt like a weak spot as I just did basic highlights on the black. Perhaps a gunmetal drybrush might have been more appropriate? But the orange warheads turned out better than I thought they would in the end. 

Here's the full set, plus a Lancer I was using for reference. I think there is a subtle difference in red but the Atrapos in particular were built on a different Forgeworld so I suspect a slight variation in paint formulas... I can fluff-justify anything.

It's worth remembering when Liam brought forth 4 Questoris and I deleted them in one shot. So I'm not convinced I will find a use to deploy 4 of them.

The Atrapos possibly, but the main reason for painting them was to actually have some to go with my battle force. And so I could recreate their 40k counterparts.

And two Great Big Chrome Stamps of Approval. FYI, according to my spreadsheet these are all 40 and 50mm bases. 6 x 2pts each for 12 hobby points. This brings me up to 53 points for the season so far.

Battle record - Star Wars Legion - 13/11/25

Afternoon and we're back at Otty's shed to finish off playing Star Wars Legion, Rebels V's Imperial [what else would it be], but rebels were Ewoks, Wookies, Pyke Syndicate and Mandolorians. 

Things did not get better for the Empire. Despite a really good turn where the AT-ST wiped out the unit of Ewoks on the central objective, to deny them 2VPs we were destroying squads, not making them panicked, which was scoring the rebels lots of secondaries.

And we would still lose units, while Ben was able to work with what he had left.

We discovered we'd been playing the armour rules wrong, which we think then meant even the 'primitive' Ewok slingers had a chance to damage the AT-ST through rate of fire. Given they're rolling black dice [white dice are worse, black dice are better, red dice are best] to hit and the AT-ST's armour just ignores the first 5 hits there's a chance other shots get through. The slingers are just wrong and cost a third of what a unit of Stormtroopers does and they're hitting on white dice. Yes I know that tracks with how bad a shot they are in the film but there are no strength Vs toughness roles here. A hit and a save is what you get. Stormtrooper saves are better than Rebels, but even so it feels all wrong.

Ultimately we lost but decided to start again...

Pretty much the same board, different mission and deployment.

But in the first turn I think the Ewoks were at it again. For something we'd found to be so much fun the previous week this was quite the rude response.

We've a week off as some of the guys are on night shift and hopefully we'll come back refreshed and keen to play on. But at this point it seems there's a definite imbalance...
