Adeptus Titanicus, current progress....Knight and Strategic Assets

Hi All

Bluddtoof here with a quick progress update on my Titanicus stuff.
Still loving this and I've now completed the first knight with the other 2 well on the way.
I also painted up the 6 strategic assets whilst other things were drying over the last week.
Once the knights are done I'll be buying the first of my titans, probably warhounds to start so I can build up to the bigger models.
I still have no idea which legio to do or even if I want to paint a canon one or make up my own. I'll cross that bridge once I get to it.

Here's a few pics of the state of play.....

That's the assets
And here's a few idividually..

And the knight..

Once all 3 are done I'll weather them together a little.
Hope you like, C & C welcome as ever....

Further Build Progress for the Cypra Incident and Battlefield Birmingham

Hi All,

Bit of a long time since any of us have blogged.  I know there is frantic work going on for for Golden Demon, Battlefield Birmingham and in mine and Boss's case The Cypra Incident.  For me its finding time to sit in front of the keyboard and share the progress which is challenging!

Anyway......  I promised last time to share the next BIG build project so here it is a massive treat to myself a while back

What's that you ask?

So daunting at the beginning..

I kept going...

The beast appears (Maraunder Bomber) after several hours work spread across multiple days.  Love the model hard work to put together.  None of the turrets are glued in this picture to aid the painting process.  

I then felt the need to do a size comparison!  In mind its the ultimate super heavy flyer and will see its first action in the next cypra 'airfield mission'.  

This means I have now concluded the build work for the next cypra mission.  However at this stage I still wanted to build something for my proposed Battlefield Birmingham list.

So with the advent of Forgebane and the new mini knights (armigers) I loved them.  Also as a necron player it added to that force also.  I was keen to get some movement into the poses and decided to make one running.  The 14" move rule prompted the posing in my head.  Also decided to make then have opposite weapon arms to each other for further variety.  

The next job was a mega airbrush priming session!

Was super proud to have got to this stage and then a day later realisation that's a lot to paint!  Priority will be the units for Battlefield Birmingham the knights, vulture and scions.

Until next time when hopefully I will be showing you some painted minis or at minimum WIP.

Cheers

Hobby Progress the 19th Dicers - Arming for Cypra and Arming for Battlefield Birmingham Doubles

Afternoon All,

I have been so busy lately working away but not posting except for the odd bit through instagram and our facebook page.  I actually have enough hobby progress for a few posts but today I will focus on the Imperial Guard.

I have signed up to go to a battlefield Birmingham doubles event in June with Dark Bristles, Boss Bludtoof, Luko Dakka, Innermech and the Barber.  So the code will be representing.  Expect to see hobby updates as everyone gets ready.

As I am also trying to prepare for the next Cypra Airfield Mission (see last post for info) I have decided to take the 19th with some new additions. A two birds one stone approach which in reality is entirely necessary for me to stand a chance.

So as I am going to work on this as a group here are the current new builds:

As I need 4 flyers for the airfield mission and only currently have 1 finished a Valkyrie here is the built and primed Avenger Strike Fighter.  Nice Kit went together fairly straight forwardly.  Hardest bit was sawing off the large chunks of resin!

The next new flyer is a Vulture Gunship with punisher cannons.  Well apart from the rules for this thing being immense it looks cool.  Slightly harder to build than the avenger mixing plastic and resin was tricky as was getting the plastic tail fins to fit against the resin. Again big chunks of resin to saw away.

WIP shot early on:

Fully Built:

You may of noticed lurking in these shots are some Scions and these are the 3rd new build.  

So quite a bit of painting to get done but also 1 more flyer to come which I will keep as a surprise (a big surprise hint hint!)  Last little hobby update before I move on:

I also picked up this new hobby light, its pricey but worth every penny when living in dark old blighty!

Thats all folks look forward to showing you more soon.

Cheers

Stepping between Games - #Squaduary Feb 2018. Heresy Era Imperial Fists, Rapier Quad Bolter Battery......Part 3

Hi All

Bluddtoof here with another #Squaduary update; the Imperial Fists Quad Bolter Rapier Battery is coming along well. These photos are as of last night; I've got the metal done and the red detailing is complete, currently working on the rest of the detailing such as skulls, lenses, iconography and cables. Once that's done it's just transfers and final weathering to go, so I should be all good to finish by months end.

WIP piccies..............

Coming along well, however I wish I'd been more careful with removing the gates and other casting detritus as the bolters have suffered a bit and have some damage around the muzzles. I also tried a faster method of applying the seraphim wash in the recesses; it's worked ok and was significantly quicker but it has resulted in a slightly darker finish to the armour. Lessons learned!

Hopefully just 1 more post to come on these, this time next week....

The New Year - More Cypra Incident and More 19th Dicers

Happy New Year folks and welcome to 2018!

Morning All,

Hope you have all enjoyed the lords of reaping blog event we had for December I suspect more posts may pop out of the paintwork on that front as code members cannot always make it in December with family commitments.

Anyway just to say the new year marks the start of a new painting points year as I aim to catalogue what I paint each year.  Please see the right hand side bar on the website version of the blog to see how I get on.  Aim this year is 50 figures as I completed just 40 in 2017.

The next project hitting my desk is the preparation for the air base assault mission for The Cypra Incident.  For those who need a catch up the last mission can be found here.  Or you can click on the link to all the cypra incident posts on the left hand side of website version of the blog.

So we have agreed to build and paint at least 3 flyers each..... eeek I have only done one so Boss is already up on that front.  However, I started to think what I would like to go alongside the flyers and thought some scions fits with this kind of daring mission.  I thinking I will build 3 squads eventually but as I popped into GW for something special earlier I picked up a box....

The thing that strikes is is how advanced the kits are compared to both the cadians and catachans.  They really are nice figures so I am very happy with my decision!

The other thing I picked whilst in GW was Sly Marbo...  Nice sculpt dodgy hairdo and disappointingly finecast but hey ho here he is put together.

I don't expect to get too much further as I have my final two masters exams to get through but it felt nice to have a play with these for a couple of hours. More to come when I am able.

Cheers

Lords a Reaping 17; Questoris Knight Magaera, a bit more wip....

Hi All

Bluddtoof here with a quick update on the progress of my Knight Magaera, I've now taken most of the sub assemblies to the point where I need to put down the iconography.

I've also made my second ever attempt at osl; the first being fairly unsuccessful. Big shout out to the other code boys for their advice on this .

Pics...

1st two pics are before the advice from the boys, then there's 3 pics of my further work and the final pic is with a yellow glaze.

I'm pleased and I'm going to try more on this model; the coils on the lightning gun and the plasma fusil..

More pics of the current state....

I'm currently working on the legs, once I've got them to the same state as the rest then I'll do the iconography with transfers and freehand. Then osl and weathering and of course the base, not in that order of course.

More soon

Bluddtoof.
