Legio Astorum Warlord Titan - New Armament - Conversion Beam Extirpator

Hello all, thanks for dropping by. I've added a more esoteric weapon to the Warlord arsenal, not available from Forge World but a model exists in Adeptus Titanicus so there are rules and a look to the weapon.
Here is a 3D print sliced from several other prints and put together by Lord TITANium.
I painted in sub assemblies and added a few more details as the main body seemed too plain and had overly large rivets - scaled from a smaller weapon I guess. 
The las power packs, barrel from a AdMech Dunewalker, various gubbins and hoses were added.
I even added two sensor optics akin to the optics on other warlord weapons, one can be sen at the base of the barrel section.
For comparison of other weapons available for the Forge World titan range. Shorter but stubby. 
Looks good on a Warlord
I'll look forward to using it at 'Maximal Power', with Draining at long range - even higher strength of attack than a Belicosa! Should be a nice fun addition to the force at the next Titan Walk event.

Adeptus Titanicus - Legio Mortis - Warhound Titan Squadron and Dire Wolf Titan

Hello all, thanks for dropping by. More Adeptus Titanicus offerings to the Paint Gods! A squadron of Warhound Titans with interchangeable weapons and all for my growing Legio Mortis, and scroll down for a beefy addition to the Warhounds with a Heavy Scout Titan, a Dire Wolf armed with Battle Titan Volcano Cannon!
The bases are Armageddon Dunes technical paint with wash of Agrax Earthshade and highlight Ushabti Bone
My favourite of the three, the carapace has a lovely Legio Mortis decal work from the FW Mortis sheets, and the stencilled flame leg greaves look fantastic.
The weapons are all magnetised using 1mm thick, 5mm diameter disc magnets, with the arm ball joint cut flat and another disc magnet - all same polarity so all weapons are interchangeable.
The Squadron with interchangeable spare weapons

And now, the heavy scout support titan, a Dire Wolf.
In Adeptus Titanicus this can be added into a Warhound Squadron, or played solo
Some design features from the Warhound Titan, but really a new design almost all together. A somewhat strange addition, perhaps a Rapier Scout or other titan from the background would have been better, but I think now I have painted one, I do like it a lot more than I did when first saw them.
The stock posed legs look too much like a wind up toy or a chicken, so I cut and re-positioned the right leg
The much heavier armament atop is akin to a Reaver Titan arm weapon, so the arms above are sacrificed to have lighter kinetic weapons to avoid draining the reactor, single Vulcan Mega Bolter's which work as a pair, making a Vulcan Mega Bolter.

Necron Dynasty - Catacomb Command Barge

Hello Readers, thanks for dropping by. The latest addition that has awakened from its slumber for the Necron Dynasty is a Catacomb Command Barge. A bit of an odd vehicle, lacklustre firepower but the Overlord riding the Barge can use its close combat weapon in melee, (in 9th which I play).
This has a rather rapid movement so can keep up with Wraiths and Tomb Blades and that's where I think it can be of use as it buffs nearby units. So +1 to Advance, Charge and To-Hit so this will benefit these units up the table.
The Overlord can also be upgraded to carry a Resurrection Orb so can add wounds back in to those upthreat units too. I will upgrade for a Res Orb and Warscythe - this will mean it will add some punch too.
Defo not an auto include, in 9th or 10th, but a nice model I have had since first release back in 2011 which I've finally gotten around to completing! ;)

Adeptus Titanicus - Legio Mortis - Warlord Titan #2

Hello all, following on from last week's Warlord Titan, I finished its twin which I was building in tandem. Now two Warlords make a formidable backbone to the Legio Mortis Maniple so far.
This one utilises the Apocalypse Missile Launchers and Belicosa Volcano Cannon. The shipping container was a freebie from when I bought the AT scale banners.
I also added a stack of slate as a rocky outcrop.
The left hand weapon of choice is a Mori-Quake Cannon for concussive shenanigans.
I've a selection of weapons painted up as all the Warlords have magnetised arm joints. Another Sunfury Plasma Annihilator, an Arioch Power Claw for close combat and a Volkite Destructor for downing Void Shields with it's destructive beam of energy.
And possibly my favourite looking Warlord titan weapon option, the Conversion Beam Extirpator, a fantastic fanciful looking weapon, like a "Cathedral Gun"! Very 40K. Very strong power - with Maximal fire its higher strength than a Belicosa Volcano Cannon! I love it.
Here is the newest Warlord with it's twin, the might of Legio Mortis walks

Adeptus Titanicus - Legio Mortis - Warlord Titan #1

Hello Readers, thanks for dropping by. Another tiny-Titan done, a little larger support with a Warlord Titan added to the multiple Reavers and Warbringer. Another Warlord is on the painting table too.
I've armed this one with Sunfury Plasma Annihilators and Laser Blasters as they were the first on the pile of weapons to do. I also have a Belicosa Volcano Cannon as all weapons are magnetised.
I enjoyed adding stripes to the shoulder pauldron armour. The base was decorated with a ruined collapsed building and surrounding rubble.
The lower leg greaves have stencil flame designs which look great. And I used the upper Pauldrons with the infills rather than the heraldic shields and a head similar in style to the original beetle-back Warlords from the OG Adeptus Titanicus game.
Weapons are all magnetised to enable swappeing out for more options, I have several FW blister packs of armaments for future small painting projects.

Terrain and Scenery - Pegasus Hobbies - Hab Block to hide Titans #4

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. Another huge terrain piece for line-of-sight blocking titans at Titan Owners Club Titan Walk events. This was made from several Pegasus Hobbies Large Gothic building sets.
I added some lovely 40k propaganda posters along the ground floor to add interest and scale.
And like the other sets I've already done, (Hab Block, Cathedral, Administratum) they are flat packed for easy transport to and from Titan Owners Club events. I have another 3 sets to do before October Main Walk event.

Adeptus Titanicus - Legio Mortis - Reaver Titan Corsair Maniple

Hello tiny-titan fans, thanks for dropping by. The latest addition to the Adeptus Titanicus Legio Mortis is a trio of Reaver Titans, enough to make a Corsair Maniple. These are the 3rd-5th Reavers for my force. I think Reavers are my favourite class of titan so these were a pleasure to paint.
I did some lovely flame patterns on the leg armour of this striding titan
This Reaver is astride the ruins of a Legio Astorum Warhound... oops (don't let my BIG titans see!)
This one stands atop the head of a fallen Legio Gryphonicus Warhound. The arms are interchangeable at the shoulder to swap between close combat weapons and ranged weapons.
I also added a FW resin exotic weapon, a Conversion Beamer Dissolutor, I have a few FW resin options once I get the main bulk of the Maniple painted up.
I painted a few weapon options for these, and all ranged weapons are interchangeable using magnets in the arms and carapace. Pictured is the whole AT Legio Mortis Engines I have painted so far. I have Warlords and Warhounds out of the to-do pile and on the desk.

Mechanicum - Ursarax Tech Thralls #3

Hi all, thanks for dropping by. Again this week I have more Mechanicum goodness, another six Ursarax Thralls to add to my existing six I have already to I painted these to match.
The Ursarax are heavy, rapid-moving close combat killing machines. Like the Thallax, Ursarax are thralls rather than servitors – selected from suitable human candidates for conversion. Their living components retain a consciousness and dim recollection of their former humanity, providing them with superior tactical abilities and the instinct to kill.
These are FW resin versions and the previous owner had shaved the heads smooth on the front facing so I had to paint back on the visor.
And here are all the Ursarax to date, leaping death robots!
