Legio Astorum - Reaver Titan No. 3516 - Another Acquisition

Hello Titanseers,

After last week's introduction to Reaver 009, in tandem I managed to secure a second-hand Reaver Titan in great shape from a mate. Seen here in original Legio Defensor livery, the kneecap has been re-painted to show the combined loyal service of this Engine now undergoing re-dedication to Legio Astorum.

Undergoing the Rites of re-construction and re-dedication, but a awesome walking pose from TOC Member Andy B. means this God Engine really suits close combat weapons, already armed with a 3D printed Reaver Chainfist and a carapace Vulcan Mega Bolter - such a swagger! (Forge World Chainfist is long out of production, and carapace VMB haven't been made in 28mm scale!)

This one will follow the footsteps of Honorum and Astor Tyrannis, also from Siege of Vraks Imperial Armour books, this will be Incaeduus Prime - with blue/yellow stripes moved to the carapace as the knee is honouring Andy's work with Defensor (I often honour the previous owner's machine spirit with preserving some of the original scheme - Atarus with Warlord Ex-Noctia, airbrush work with Warhound Canis Irae and carapace stripes of Warhound Lupus Regent)

I have already started some weapon options, a Melta Cannon

And a second one for the Reaver No.009 to match

Next comes the armour plates and superstructure, mostly done to a great standard on the metallics so this one should progress quickly compared to Reaver No.009, meaning the Corsair Maniple of four Reaver Titans will be realised. My favourite Forge World Titan Engine Class, about time I had more Reavers!

Cheers, Siph
