Titans of the Legio Mortis

I haven't updated in a little bit, but thought I'd share the finished models for my other Adeptus Titanicus force - an Axiom maniple of the Legio Mortis.

The Legio Mortis brings death to the enemies of the Warmaster!

I actually managed to get in a small game the other day. It was a simple meeting engagement between two scout forces and saw both sides' Warhound Titans taking a beating. The game ended with one of my Warhounds rushing a Reaver Titan just in time for its reactor to overload. The Warhound exploded for maximum damage and blew the unhurt Reaver apart as it died.

The entire maniple ready to do battle.

The Warhound Lupus Venandi. These kits are a dream to paint up. 

And Warhound Lupus Umbra. Both kits are magnetized so I can
swap out the weapons into multiple configurations. 

Next time should be some hot Horus Heresy action. Stay tuned!

Cheers!

The Legio Gryphonicus Walks

The Warhound Titan Lupus Rex leads the way into battle!

This past week I finally put the final touches on the Warhounds and Knights of my Legio Gryphonicus force for Adeptus Titanicus. This means that I've completely painted the Grand Master Edition of Adeptus Titanicus and that I only have a pair of Warhounds for the Legio Mortis left to paint! The excitement is palpable.

First on deck were the new Warhound Titan kits. These are absolutely fabulous kits - just the right level of detail and complexity. A total dream to build and paint - my favorite kind of model!

weapon option is fully magnetized.

These models have a great sense of motion while still maintaining
a feeling of weight appropriate to a multi-story engine of war.

The glow of plasma coils is always fun to paint!

I really dig the sculpted on scroll-work. 

Once the pair of Warhounds was done, all that was left was the Knight Banner. Ever since painting a trio for the Legio Mortis force, I've been absolutely dreading assembling and painting these models. I committed to get it done with a quick, neutral paint scheme that would put them on the table fast and not clash with the War Griffons. I settled on a grey and white scheme and just got them D-O-N-E. It was a relief to have them finished.

I also made some time to expand my scenery collection by downloading some paper craft buildings for the game Dropzone Commander that are available here for free. I scaled them down by about 20% and printed each on cardstock. I like the addition of these buildings because their high will let me use the cover rules more and means that every game won't devolve into two forces just pummeling each other at range. 

Each building prints out as a 8.5 x 11 sheet.

I think they fit reasonably well with the plastic terrain and I really couldn't beat the price (basically just the cost of a pack of cardstock!)

The great height of the buildings means even a Warlord might claim some cover.

I think the next step is to make some highways with black construction paper. That should really tie the whole room together, man.

Next steps are to complete my Legio Mortis force and then play some more games of Adeptus Titanicus. 

Cheers!
