Adeptus Titanicus – Legio Astraman Ad Arma Pt. X
Only a few days until the next Battle for Uulda, and quite a bit to do. The regular maniple of the Legio Astraman has to be increased by a single Reaver Titan, and I need a few Knights to have the various lists between 1.250 and 2.000 points. Beyond that, a couple of smaller things to take care of, but let es see what the to-do list for Legio Astraman is so far:
- Assembly of Reaver
- Assembly of Sunfire Annihilator
- Printing the further weapon options
- Adding of magnets
- Base decoration for Reaver
- Name plates ordered
- Name plates printed
- Name plates painted
- Decals sorted for Titans
- Base paints
- Washes and Highlights
- Decals applied
So I build another Sunfire Annihilator for the Warlord Titan, and added the magnets to the Reaver as well as the weapon options. So we can check off two things from the to-do list.
Adeptus Titanicus – House Moritain Ad Arma Pt. I
As each of my titan legios will cover an allied Knight Household, I want to start with those supporting Legio Astraman.
According to the Adeptus Titanicus supplement Loyalist Legios this would be the Knights of House Moritain, due to its ties to the Forge World Graia.
Adeptus Titanicus – Legio Astraman Ad Arma Pt. IX
What is the status on Legio Astraman since the last update? Well, the titan legion from Graia was deployed in the Battle for Uulda, and the next escalation level of the conflict is called for october, so there is a bit to do.
This is the current status of the maniple itself, with a few weapon options. As these were the first models I build, along the Titanicus reviews, I unfortunately glued most of the weaponry fix in space, with the exception of the magnetised Warlord options and the backs of the Reaver. The models are battle-ready, are missing some final weathering / highlights, decals and the name plates. As well as some replenishment.
July 2024 review
Welcome to August, and let us look back to July.
While I even managed to squeeze in a paint-meetup with my buddy Lukas, to get some progress on my Caledor Dragons, I unfortunately have to throw in the towel regarding the 18 miniatures in 3 month competition, as I really didn't get that much done on that Blood Bowl Team this month.
Road to CONflict – Part VII
You could see my progress on the tanks in the last article, Road to CONflict - Part VI, and now we were on the final steps just days away from CONflict 2024. In part IV I gave you the overview on the terrain files I printed for our demo table.
Grabbed a variety of green tones to paint the base colours, and moved on to the further scatter terrain and mines.
Road to CONflict – Part VI
And on we go, after adding the base colours to the tanks in the last part of our Road to CONflict, we applied the first weathering and first coat of wash onto the models, in this case Army Painters Dark Tone.
Re-Enter the Space Hulk – In Space No One Can Hear You Scream
Back in 2009 I reviewed the third edition of Space Hulk, and it was a "limited" release back then and Games Workshop really took that seriously, that the reprinted the boxed set for a limited amount of boxes multiple times over the following years, as the 4th edition in 2014, and another print run in 2016. The actual limitation was that the translations didn't receive a reprint, and the releases in the 2010s were just available in English.
Yet, we want to re-enter the Space Hulk, as I own the third edition and got a bunch of new designed Indomitus Terminators from the individual kit and Deathwing Assault, and I want to do a retro-mod using these new, upscaled sculpts and move away from the Blood Angels in the same step.
Blood Bowl – Caledor Dragons Part 2
Well, here we are. I enrolled the High Elves Blood Bowl Team of the Caledor Dragons on the 18 miniatures in 3 month challenge, a project that I painted my Realm of Chaos Beastman warband for back in the day,
Between the four team names (Chrace Lions, Ellyrian Stallions, Lothern Sea Serpents and Caledor Dragons) and six different colour schemes, the Caledor Dragons made the cut, with a jersey picking up the theme of the Dragon Princes of Caledor from the Middlehammer era.
June 2024 review
A slightly postponed recap of June. While I was able to write up our visit to FeenCon at beginning of this month, a prolonged family weekend followed up by a few days of the flu changed my schedule.
First things first - the Horus Heresy audiobooks are back on spotify, and while that was in clarification between the license holders, I went to Bookbeat, as they have the audiobooks as well- by the way if you use the code "60tgratis" when you register, you get two months for free not just one. I'm currently listening to Betrayer, where the Word Bearers and World Eaters fight alongisde, attacking the realm of Ultramar, more precisely Armatura.
Road to CONflict – Part V
In the last step, we assembled the tanks for our demo table, and are now about to paint five armoured vehicles for our game of tank battles and the Road to CONflict.
Obviously we start with a primer, and as usual black coat with a with dusting on top. Makes it much easier to see details during painting and the white colour is a bit more coarse, giving you a better grip for your paints.
