Battle record - Star Wars Legion - 27/11/25

Afternoon and we're back at Otty's shed playing Star Wars Legion, Rebels V's Imperial [what else would it be]. Otty and Ben had finished off the previous game with Otty managing to claw back some self-respect but not quite win.

This time we were using Liam's Imperial army, plus a few Pike Syndicate. Moff Gideon was in charge with some Shore Troopers and his AT-ST

Otty had Rebels, with a few Wookies and a converted Boar Wolf. This was a creature from the Caravan of Courage, Ewok Adventure and is a proxy for a Rebel Land Speeder

We managed to get one turn in by 11:30pm, we did start about 8:30 so 3 hours. But it was a fun game, no ridiculously OP units yet. Some were good on both sides and some didn't quite perform as expected so balanced all round. Turn 2 looks to be pivotal who gets to go first though. Both the Snow/Air Speeder and AT-ST are on their last wound or two. Whoever gets the drop on the other is likely to tip the game in their favour. We shall have to see what next week brings.

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.
