WeeMen Mini Titan Walk at Greetings from the Warp LH photos - Pic heavy

Hi All!

As Siph mentioned in his post earlier this week, WeeMen dusted off their Titans and headed to Greetings from the Warp for a Mini Walk. Loads of laughs, destruction, and my Warbringer Rotengen having a catastrophic reactor melt down that nearly took out Hell's Daughter, my Warlord, in the explosion - the resultant damage caused the Titan to fall in the ensuing volley of fire! 

I finished with 2 'Engine Kills' with 2 of my maniple falling in battle.  

Pics of the Event.

All at the Titan Owners Club are great, and one of my favourite parts is catching up with all of the follow princeps, its such a specticle to see all the titans match to war. It did get me thinking, Siph should we do a mini walk for the Blog? We’ve got enough titans! LH

WeeMen at Titan Owners Club UK Mini Walk - Greetings From The Warp

This weekend was the Greetings from the Warp event concentrating on Heresy Gaming and some Adeptus Titanicus, however Titan Owners Club UK was also invited to attend and put on a slightly larger game of Adeptus Titanicus at 28mm scale (AT28mm). We loved to oblige. The Greetings From the Warp event looked well run, had beer, BBQ and battling, so great job to the organisers and the standard of Heresy Armies was superb, some great forces. Anyway, I was there to game with Ttans so I took a small force of Warlord Dominus Victoria, and Reaver's Honorum and Aquila Oculus. Lord TITANium Halfpenny also came along with his Crucius Legio Engines, being targeted by the traitor Warbringer (Above)

It was only a one day event for us, a chance for TOC UK Members to throw some dice and have a pie-plate sized blast! In all we had 68 Forge World Titans and a splattering of Knights on the field of battle.

The centre of the battle saw the Traitor forces pushing out from a captured city, and into the guns of the Loyalist Engines, one double fisted Warlord closed the enemy but was brought low before getting to use the fists.

Astorum Engines belonging to Princeps Aaron forge ahead to seek revenge for their fallen Reaver kin

The Traitor right flank was where my now fallen Astorum Engines would anchor - or was it a feint? (We swap around allegiances to balance the points)

For my efforts, the opposing Princeps Engine Phil punished me, his Warlord stripped all of Honorum's shields with the Apocalypse Missile Launchers and then laid the Reaver low with successive hits to Honorum's legs, scoring four critical damage rolls with two mighty blasts from the Bellicosa Lasers and Mori-Quake Cannons. ENGINE KILL!

The Loyalist Centre facing us

My comrades were Princeps Laura, Richard and Lauren. Princeps Lauren of Vulcanum scored a brace of ENGINE KILLS, taking a Warlord, Reaver and Warhound of Ignatum, alas they were the only Loyalist kills on our right flank area of the battle.

Princeps Engine Phil and John's Metalica and Ignatum Engines I faced, a really beautiful force to face and a resilient one, Princep's John's Dakka Warlord (2x Macro Gatling, 2x Battle Titan Gatling Blaster) just wouldn't die to my guns despite heavy Body and Head damage....

Great terrain made by Princeps Maximus Drake Seta.

My favourite photo of the day, Princeps Luke's double claw Warlord striding through the breach - shame he died to Loyalist guns before he got to wreck face...

My favourite Engine of the day, the sheer brutality of a "DakkaLord", Princeps John B's Warlord.

Dominus Victoria and Honorum

A brilliant day battling our big Titans, thank-you to Titan Owners Club UK Admin Team (myself included, lol) and to the team at Greetings From The Warp for inviting us along. And it was great to see the other Titan Owners, what a great bunch and I look forward to the next Titan Walk!

Cheers, Siph.

WIP Deathwatch Dreadnoughts

Hello All! 

This week I've spent some time building up some further dreadnoughts for my deathwatch force - this time using some 3D parts I've picked up from eBay. I wanted to add more character to the dreadnoughts to link to their parent chapter. 

These are currently in my 2nd geek space - the shed for initial painting. First up is a Scythes of the Emperor Dreadnought, the kit has different pauldrons, armour plates and leg plates as well as a weapon for the left CC arm - this will still count as fist.

The second dreadnought is the Space Wolves Chaplain, again will count as a dread rules wise. I really like how the plates pop once the inital paint is applied - its difficult to see the detail on the transparent pieces initially.

Really pleased with how these are progressing.. more to follow! LH

Note: boxes are packed, Titans are ready! the Weemen team will be in action for the Titan Owners Club walk at Greetings from the Warp! if you are there please come over and say Hi! 

Adeptus Custodes - Custodian Guardians w/ Guardian Spears

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. My latest project underway is a long overdue one. Adeptus Custodes, Custodian Guardians. I have had Custodes for a few years since the release of Burning of Prospero and wanted to do the Emperor's elite army for some time. A low model count means I can take my time over each miniature and give them a decent gold colour scheme!

The scheme is purely based on WarhammerTV and Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy tutorials of how to paint Custodes, both feature our Liege Lord Duncan 'Two Thin Coats' and are very easy to follow and great results - I feared gold as a whole mini might look plain or lazy, but the guide achieves an interesting gold full of variations and hues, using Retributor Gold, Liberator Gold and Stormhost Silver and a mix of Reikland Flesh Shade 50:50 Matt/Gloss mix.

I include a rear shot, each Custodian Guardian has a Misericordia (basically an extra Power Sword attack). The armoured joints is Corvus Black washed Nuln Oil, something I'll take back to my Relictors, the Corvus Black is a darker grey than Eshin Grey and lends itself to wash giving detail. 

I used my familiar basing design, the same across all armies.

The leather Pteruges were Doombull Brown, washed Nuln and highlighter Squig Orange.

The Guardian Spear blade I thought was going to be uber difficult but was fairly easy. Kantor Blue base, Sotek Green wide highlight, Templeguard Blue highlight, washed Drakenhof Nightshade, re-establish highlight of Templeguard Blue and a small highlight of white.

The plume hair was Mephiston Red, Nuln, Red again, Evil Sunz Scarlet and Wild Rider Red.

Really pleased how these came out, looking forward to building more whilst away and painting them on my return.

Cheers, Siph (10pts)

Counts as Inquisitor and companion WIP

 Hello All,

I opted to try another colour other than metallic black this week, thus started work on an Inquistor model and a companion.

This model was from Ax faction, which I belive is no longer operating. I really like the look and character of the model, with the view of her being a Xenos hunter. I've initally gone for a yellow base, however this might change as I want the model to have a slight steampunk style, The wooden bow has been given a 'power weapon' coloured ends to match the deathwatch cool blue tones. 

The companion is an eBay purchase, no idea where from, the model looks to be a small child, infected with some nuclear/nurgle thing. The model has a gas mask, whilst holding a teddy, and with a right arm that has been infected badly. The back of the model is cabling etc. to holder her in the air.

 I like the idea that the Inquisitor saved her from an event, and now the girl follows the inquisitor to war. Maybe there is a hint of a daemon in her body, or she can pull powers from the warp to defend the Inquisitor.. LH
