Terrain and Scenery - Adeptus Titanicus - Civitas Imperialis Sector Buildings #2

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. With the release of plastic upgrades for Warlord and Reaver titan, I pulled out the Grand Master Edition and found some Civitas sprues, and I had bought a box of the Civitas Imperialis Sector so had quite a few buildings to get going so Lord H and myself didn't have to resort to standing 28mm shipping containers to stand in as buildings in games of the small scale Adeptus Titanicus (not the 28mm AT we play at Titan Owners Club Walks!)
These were 3D prints from eBay to which I added roof tiles from the spares.
A Hab Block
A fortified Administratum Building
Game Objectives and Stratagems like Void Shield Array, Apocalypse Missile Array or Communications Arrays for in-game effects.
And the set of Firing Arc templates received a simple metallic paint job along with the fancy Titanicus symbol to denote who has initiative each turn, and a Warlord head for Recovery Mission objective.

Cheers, Princeps Siph (5pts)

Dreadtober Through the Years - 2016-2026 - A decade of Dreads!

Hello Dreadtober-teers, 
In my usual look back style, I wanted to share my progress of Dreadtober pledges over the years. Many fine projects pushed over the line of completion by this favourite Hobby event!
Last week I finished my tenth year of participation and would like to send my gratitude to the Dreadtober-teers and organisers of this fabulous motivating hobby event! As you can see from the picture above and listed below pictures, it has enabled me to complete quite a few projects!


2023 - Work took me away in 2023 but in the preceding months I completed a number of Dreadnoughts in honour of Dreadtober, so they could be schedule posted alongside the participants efforts, I may have been absent but was still there in spirit.

2020 - Relic Leviathan Dreadnought with Grav-Flux Bombards


2018 - MKIV Ironclad Dreadnought from Forge World

2017 - Modern Deredeo with Space Marine Casualty

2016 - Plastic Contemptor Dreadnought with re-posed legs

So thanks again, and great work to all the Dreadtober-teers this year, thanks for the inspiration and the Dreads! And thanks to Marc (Old School Gaming) for keeping the hobby event alive for another year! See you next year Dreadtober-teers!

Cheers, Siph

Dreadtober 2026 - Week 4 - Necron 'Knight' - Amuntek Obliterator COMPLETED

Hello All, thanks for dropping by! A new classification of hidden construct has been discovered by some unfortunate Mechanicus Technoarcheologists team, last heard from when these pict captures were sent...
Dreadtober is an annual event held over the month of October where hobbyists pledge to do a dreadnought-sized model from the to-do pile and get it finished, starting 1st Oct and hopefully completing 31st Oct (Halloween/All Hallows Eve)
This is the completed titanic walker construct I have named the Amuntek Obliterator, 'the hidden one' after the ancient terran Egyptian God Amun. A fitting name for a colossus war machine not yet been discovered by the Imperium's interactions with the Necron Dynasties until now!
I will play this in friendly games of Warhammer 40k as counts-as Imperial Knight, either an Imperial Knight Questoris Paladin/Errant/Preceptor with the gun arm and close-combat flail arm, or swappable for a secondary gun arm played as a Crusader variant Imperial Knight Questoris. The top Gauss Cannon can be used as a carapace option for the 'Knight'
The cannon is made from the original toy Gauss Flayer and a Doomsday Ark Cannon.
The secondary leg stabilisers akin to the T'au Stormsurge are from a Canoptek Reanimator.
The curved 'spine', feet, Flail mechadendrites and power hoses are from a Tesseract Vault spares when building an Obelisk. The leg greaves and terrain are from Tombworlds terrain pieces.
I added a Tachyon Crystal matrix on the rear (in turquoise) and several Canoptek Scarabs undergoing repairs over the body of the construct.
The close combat flail tipped with cut down Void Blades from the Triarch Praetorians kits. The Canoptek Reanimator 'Reanimator Ray' assembly has been mounted on the left shoulder as a counts-as Heavy Stubber/hull mounted weapon option for the 'Knight'.
The alternative magnetised forearm gun assembly, using Catacomb Command Barge spare Tesla Destructors as a counts-as Avenger Gatling Cannon.
The face visage is made from Triarch Praetorian torso and the Tesseract Vault construct, flanked by two Canoptek Reanimator shoulder mounts.

So thanks again, and great work to all the Dreadtober-teers this year, thanks for the inspiration and the Dreads! And thanks to Marc (Old School Gaming) for keeping the hobby event alive for another year! It really motivated me to progress and get this project finished, thanks All.

Cheers, Siph. (20pts)

Dreadtober 2026 - Week 3 Progress - Necron 'Knight' Painting Progress

Hello Dreadtober-teers!
For those not in the know, Dreadtober is an annual event held over the month of October where hobbyists pledge to do a dreadnought-sized model from the to-do pile and get it finished, starting 1st Oct and hopefully completing 31st Oct (Halloween/All Hallows Eve) with lots of progress shots and encouragement along the way :) and I like to partake in Dreadtober, and have done for a few years, a veteran of now 10yrs with a sum of six Dreads, two Imperial Knights, two Armiger Knights and a Necron Construct, now joined with this larger Construct!
This week I have started the painting progress in ernest, painting the leg greaves first and working my way up. I had a spare Canoptek Reanimator which I chopped up for parts, using the lower legs as stabilisers akin to the T'au Stormsurge. 
I started with some gauss power cables in red energy and some gold parts for a splash of colour.
Kill Team terrain bits were used to adorn the base and add interest.
More Canoptek Reanimator parts, mounted either side of the head with counts-as 'Heavy Stubbers' and a shoulder mounted ray-gun thingy, more for detail and cover the fact that this is a really big Warrior... the Canoptek Reanimator shoulder guards were also used to give more curved 'Knight' shoulders, and break up the Warrior sihoulette.
Lots of edge highlighting for the blue parts, joyous...

Getting good progress done now, I will be able to complete this for my Dreadtober pledge in time!

Cheers, Siph

This weeks offering is 6 Servo Turrets completed for my growing Deathwatch force. These have been painted in the same style as the rest of the force, with only the Helm painted red to show him as a Techmarine. I've got 3 of each of the versions, with twin las-talons or twin accelerator autocannons
Three Twin Las-Talon Servo-Turrets

Three Twin Accelerator Autocannon Servo-Turrets
These guys are all set, and ready for the dance floor! (30pts)

Dreadtober 2026 - Week 2 Progress - Necron 'Knight' Basecoats and Weapons

Hello Dreadtober-teers!
For those not in the know, Dreadtober is an annual event held over the month of October where hobbyists pledge to do a dreadnought-sized model from the to-do pile and get it finished, starting 1st Oct and hopefully completing 31st Oct (Halloween/All Hallows Eve) with lots of progress shots and encouragement along the way :) and I like to partake in Dreadtober, and have done for a few years, a veteran of now 10yrs with a sum of six Dreads, two Imperial Knights, two Armiger Knights and a Necron Construct, now joined with this larger Construct!
This week I have been laying down basecoats and painting the sub-assemblies. I still have some work to go to break up the Warrior silhouette and have a Necron Canoptek Reanimator spare I can butcher for parts, namely the shoulder armour to give a more 'knightly' curved frame rather than the slab Warrior ones.
With ranged weapon loadout.
The main gun, a counts-as Rapid Fire Battlecannon if played as a Knight Paladin.
I still have some work with the rear of the leg greaves to do, plus the shoulder guards.
And some paint on the weapon sub-assemblies, following my usual Necron scheme of blue armour, gold trim and red/orange gauss energy over the silver endo skeleton. Here you can see the forearm gun attachment (counts-as Avenger Gatling Cannon if playing as Knight Crusader), or the close-combat flail (counts-as Reaper Chainsword or Thuderstrike Gauntlet if play as Knight Paladin)

Really enjoying the break from normal minis and Titans to do this long overdue project idea. That's what Dreadtober is great for! Check out the link in the sidebar for all the Dreadtober projects >>>>>

Cheers, Siph.
