WeeMen: Forge World Reaver Titan Complete - Astramos of the Legio Crucius Will Walk! (Picture Heavy)

5 Oct 2018

Hi One and All,

Finally, Reaver Astramos will Walk. This God Engine is complete and with that my Reaver Titan project for now is finished. The model is done, with the exception being further marks for engine kills and honours. I have currently opted for a 'clean' look with no weathering, however I might return to add this later.

I have add all the links to previous posts at the end.

I've taken the pictures of Astramos on the battle board, it adds to the feel of the model. Pictured are all weapon options. The shoulders were built with a nut/bolt to allow for swapping the arm load outs.

Could this be the load out for the Tamworth battle next weekend?

A nod to the Titan Owners Club, I've made my own transfers for the model and this included the heraldry of the group.

Engine kills from the TOC Walk UK held at Milton Keynes this June, a Warlord and a Reaver tally. Could there be a few more additions soon?

The Gatling Blaster and Apocalypse Missile Launcher.

With Plasma Blastgun on the carapace

The Plasma Blastgun is from the Warhound Titan Arm and converted it so that it fits on the Apoc Missile Launcher base unit.

The carapace insignia from home-brew decals as FW didn't do Legio Crucius

The Power fist. As an UM Marneus Calgar fanboi, it was very tempting to go double fist with the Reaver...

All the Weapon options.

Some further details on the leg.

The number 'XI' is used as the Titan is Reaver No.11 from Forge World and registered at Titan Owners Club.

Oh, did I forget to mention I'd added LED's to the head?

Wow... what a project. That took a while. Really happy with the results, and its nice to look at something you created over time. I am glad I took the time with build, the planning. I think it paid off with the final look.

Thanks for the support with the project! LH

Great looking scheme, I heard you prefer double fists... being an UM player it’s the norm. Ah, must add Painting Points total for my Weapons and Sep totals... 6thDegree where are yours?!

Congratulations on finishing this bad boy! As someone who finished a Reaver this year, I can totally appreciate the time and effort that goes into completing one of these monsters!

Love the custom decal work - an excellent example of how attention to detail makes all the difference! I hope to meet you on the field of battle at the next ToC Walk (I'm in the new members queue atm)... :)
