Aquilla Strong Point and Vengeance Batteries

Hey dudes, been a bit slammed last week but I managed to get a few pieces done for my table after closing out 2.1k of the Sons. The big silo needs a more work around the base to match the tones of the Mars mat a bit more but I think the Vengeance batteries are pretty well spot on for a match. I've never bothered to do terrain this well before with plaster, sand and rocks on the bases to integrate the model pieces better with the base and make a more irregular surface but I think it's a no-going-back type of thing now.

I also built some Javelin speeders last night and need to paint them, a Maloghurst conversion and a few more Justaerin before a 2500pt 30k event in November. The Javelins were a nightmare to build honestly, I really didn't enjoy the process at all which is a bit of a shame as they are such gorgeous kits when done but I think the FW molds are getting a little worn as some of the detail was filled in, a lot of big mold lines and even some slippage which I haven't really experienced before. 

Around the models required for the 2500pt list I want to take to the tournament in November I aim to finish the other buildings shown for the table, make some hills and create bases for the GW cargo containers.

Lovely,that looks absolutely fabulous. The integration of the base with the scenery relay works and I agree, once you have gone down that road there is no going back. Looking forward to see how it ends.

Great job -as always-, I love the blend where the metal meets the earth.
Good job making it tie into the mat so well, ditto with your troops. A nice solid theme all around. Shame about the speeders though, at least they are done now and ready for paint.

Now stop making me want to SoH! I did some of my BaC as Imperial Fists but SoH are tempting me and I am waiting for the SW stuff to drop to be sure.
Thanks boys!

I reckon SW will be a cracker Rory and the loyalists get better access to toys and allies at the moment so you can make a more diverse army. Do love the SoH but they don't quite have the level of flexibility as the loyalist forces do.

Acastus Knight Porphyrion COMPLETED!!!!!

Acacstus Knight Porhpyrion, easily the biggest and most complex kit build and paint job I have ever done for a gaming miniature. I'm really happy with the result but the 60 hrs I spent on getting it finished kinda baked my noodle. I have no idea how the titan painters get through it! Anyway here are some studio shots, let me know what you think!

Mors Miles - The Death Knight - Legio Vulpa Maniple 13.

Next up, the Princeps Senoris of my favourite maniple style in the game, the Ferrox! Princeps Senoris Agdex is a lead from the front type homie. He has a flair for destruction and more often than not, his Assault Reaver Titan - Mors Miles isn't spared from copping it either. I play Mors Miles and it's matching counterpart Atro Messorum quite aggressively, often pushing the two up together then rotating the lead titan so they can share the damage taken before dishing it back out within the Melta half range. In the most recent event, Mors Miles was detonated in 2/5 games due to this play style but it created opportunities to take the objectives or for other Titans in the battlegroup to get the kill shots while also claiming quite a few engine kills of his own.

Deus Bellum - God of War - Legio Vulpa Command Group Alpha.

Hey y'all, I've still been chipping away at Adeptus Titanicus stuff. I really freaking love this game and was lucky enough to get a spot to go and play at Act of Heresy V in January so wanted to get everything finished and ready for the event. I wrote a short piece for each of the Titans and created a Princeps for them, I'll open batting with the big kahuna, Princeps Maxima Dhrykax in his Warlord Titan, the Deus Bellum. I normally go small time with my character creations (Sergeants, Lieutenants, Centurions and the like) but because it seems that I'm one of the only guys on the planet who's really committed to Legio Vulpa from the game release, I've gone big and named the boss himself. I doubt Black Library or the Forgeworld Specialist Games team will ever swing back around to them again and they've had their moment in the sun with Titandeath so I'm going to develop more of the back story and own the Legio one bit of narrative at a time.
