Legio Astorum - Forge World Reaver Titan No. 3516 - Legs and Base

Hello Titanseers, thanks for dropping by. Work on Reaver 3516 'Incaeduus Prime' continues and good progress has been made with main torso completed, the legs are already constructed and pinned and the armour firmly in place so its been quite an effort to paint in-situ. Seen above one leg done, the right leg yet to lose it's Defensor colours.

The base has been cut from 6mm MDF, sealed with MDF sealant and PVA glued sand mixture. Recesses underneath will house the screw head and washers. The base has had tracing around the feet marked out and scored ready to accept the glue when the titan is added. The underside has furniture teflon coasters added to allow smooth movement with ease on the Titan Owners Club battle mat at Walks and aids picking it up. Bases are completely optional but I use them for stability and strength, forming a triangle of leg-leg-base making legs rigid and stronger than if left without.

I used a pillow whilst re-painting the legs so I didn't have to hold the substantial weight for long periods.

The knees will be added when painting the armour has been completed. I have preserved some of the former Legio heraldry, Legio Defensor, I do this with all my second-hand transferred titans - now reacquisition for Legio Astorum. This is a departure from the Imperial Armour scheme for Incaeduus Prime, where the kneecap is striped yellow and blue but I will paint the stripes on half the rear carapace instead.

And here is the completed legs structure attached to the base. The feet are glued and screwed to the base for a super strong hold. An excellent pose by the former owner Andy B. And now immortalised in the Defensor/Astorum kneecap.

Next post will be the final reveal. And the next project is the other Reaver 009 to complete the Corsair Maniple.

Cheers, Princeps Siph
