Adeptus Titanicus (2018) Legio Krytos maniple

Okay, so I challenged myself to paint a whole project from start to finish during The Outbreak without straying in the process and behold! Here is my Adeptus Titanicus maniple, completed in about two months' worth of hobby time, although I have to say I didn't have as much spare time as many people seem to have had. I really like these models but it was quite a crunch to paint all that gold trim.

Upon finishing my models I noticed they need something to communicate their scale, which isn't present in the desert planet setting I use for my Epic games. All the old illustrations of titans has infantry swarming around their feet (how do they avoid getting stepped on??) so I put my resin printer to work and printed out some heresy era marines. The maniple is charging through a battle between the Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists, obviously not paying any attention to the insects but focusing on the enemy maniple ahead.  I also took advantage of the opportunity to do a "maniple tray" that'll double as a nice diorama in the display cabinet.

Epic Imperator Titan

Here's one model off my bucket list. Of the over-the-top ridiculous things in 40K, the Imperator Titan ranks pretty over-the-top. I managed to get the model a year and a half back and it's been patiently sitting on my painting desk for that whole time for the right moment. And here it is! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and was struggling to get the pictures to do it justice.

A couple of titan maniples for Epic and Adeptus Titanicus

Games Workshop did a new edition of Adeptus Titanicus and while the models make me drool they do cost a lot and are a bit too big to be used in epic. The fact that I had a bunch of old titans unpainted in my lead pile and that you can buy the rules for Adeptus Titanicus without the models led me to the obvious conclusion.

Overall, I aimed to do models that can be used as both loyalistts and traitors for maximum flexibility. That's why there isn't much iconography or faction specific colours on them. The Warlords are the only ones to "show their allegiance".

Team Purple:

These are my traitors and they share the colour scheme of my epic chaos army.

Team Blue:

And here are my loyalists. Their colours don't match with any imperial forces I have, but I painted the Reaver blue this summer so I kept with the theme.

Now I think I just need some knights to complete the set for AT. For Team Purple I have some Slaanesh Knights already painted up, but I need to find a couple of knight models for Team Blue before I can do them.

Epic Reaver Titan

There's a lot of hype going on for the upcoming new edition of Adeptus Titanicus (and it looks great!) so I gathered up the motivation to finish this Reaver I've been working on. I had to take the pic outside to get the colour on that base right.

I did the blue carapace with my airbrush. I'm having difficulties keeping a consistent stream of paint going, it tends to clog up no matter how clean I keep the brush or how much I thin the paint. The result is ok, but using the airbrush is really frustrating right now.
