Legio Astorum - Forge World Reaver Titan No. 009 - COMPLETED

Hello All, and Titanseers! Thanks for dropping by. Another great addition to my Titan Maniple, I have completed Forge World Reaver No.9, my fourth Reaver Titan. "Astor Tyrannis" of Imperial Armour Siege of Vraks fame joins "Honorum" and "Incaeduus Prime", both also of Vraks fame, and the other Reaver  "Aquila Oculus". By now she will have bloodied herself on the altar of battle at the Titan Owners Club Walk in July! 

I copied the scheme from Imperial Armour Siege of Vraks which has a poster of the Astorum Battlegroup, the chequered shoulders were a challenge to do but I love the finished result.

This was a second-hand purchase, and an old and venerable Engine from initial release day, sister Engine to "Honorum" (Reaver No.10) and Lord TITANium's "Astramos Mortis Æternem" (Reaver No.11) so quite the collection!

'09' can be seen on the rear of the carapace, and here you can see the chequers in detail and the flame stencil work of the leg greaves.

The rear you can see the head of an ejected Revenant Aeldari Titan, with claw marks, perhaps beheaded by Astor Tyrannis!

Alternative armaments for close up work, a Power Claw and Melta Cannon, all magnetised at shoulder and arm joint so she can take any of my collection of armaments depending on what composition of titans I'm taking to a Titan Walk event.

'09' is also repeated on the neck gorget armour panel.

The power cables of all the weapons are not attached on the titan carapace end, so the remove with the weapon.

Base and Aeldari Revenant head in detail. Here you can also see the screw up into the foot to provide support so weight is distributed away from the single toe.

Leg and knee detail

Banner designed by my good friend Battle Bunnies 'Drake-Seta'

Knee scrollwork bearing the name and flame stencil work on the Greaves

Magnetised for ease of transport to Titan Owners Club events

And finally, a complete Corsair Maniple of Reaver Titans, left to right - Incaeduus Prime, Astor Tyrannis, Honorum and Aquila Oculus, a sight to behold! Reaver Titans are my favourite class of Titan so it was about time I added more to the collection.

Cheers, Princeps Siph (60pts) plus (10pts for more weapons)

Legio Astorum - Forge World Reaver Titan No. 009 - Internals and Crew

Hello Titanseers and all, thanks for dropping by. Work on the Reaver #009 continues and nearing completion, (this was before the Titan Walk showcased last week!) the main body assembly was in three pieces, this enabled me to paint the interior and above you can see the main section and shoulders coming together, and the chequers of the shoulders look great in my opinion!

The Techpriest is in the rear, monitoring the reactor controls and temperatures.

The Command Deck with Princeps and Moderati, with a hell of a lot of dials and gauges! A threat is shown on the main view screen of an approaching Engine, auspex scans show it might be a Warlord!

The front end of the main body section has a door to the Command Deck

The Command Crew, difficult to paint as they were all glued in place, hence the plain looking door behind.

The entry hatch to the titan is at the rear of the main body, and also on the exterior. I managed to paint the racks and panels at the rear too, not that you can really see it now its all constructed, but I know it's done!

Only the main Carapace and Head Cowling to go, so should be finished soon! 

Cheers, Princeps Siph

WeeMen at Titan Owners Club UK Main Walk - 18-19 July

Last weekend was the Titan Owners Club main event held in Milton Keynes, this is the main Walk for the year with over 150 titans and numerous Imperial Knights, even some Ork Gargants and Eldar Titans with custom rules for Adeptus Titanicus adapted for 28mm scale!

Here was the set up, five main battle mats, for 8 games - one mat is for custom Ork playtesting and one large mat for a custom Imperator titan scenario.

There was two large Imperators, one printed, one scratchbuilt in a custom scenario defending a gate of the Imperial Palace perhaps! 

There was a right bunch of Princeps in attendance! A great weekend had by all.

Here you can see the Command Terminals used to control and manage titans Voids, repairs, reactor heat etc.

There was a City Board

And a snowy tundra Board

Some beautiful Legio Solaria Warhounds

A second City Board with a super highway

And some great titans with conversions like Luke C's Vulturum Warlord!

Hills are upturned fish ponds

And a load of custom 3D printed buildings and a mono-rail

And Orks!

I had the opportunity to fight alongside my fellow Astorum player Aaron, against a combined Legio Fureans side.

I took a Corsair Maniple of Reavers armed with Melta and close combat weapons, plus Lancers and Armigers

A great shot of the Reaver Titans advancing.

Legio Fureans of Ethan and Ben

A great weekend, thanks to all at Titan Owners Club.
