Adeptus Titanicus – Legio Astraman Ad Arma Pt. XII

Next and final step for the preparations for the Battle for Uulda, were the bases. I bought the name plates for the bases and command terminals from Versatile Terrain, and used their Print your own-service for the initial 7 bases.

I went for the recessed plates with their Gothic (Calson Antique) font, without any further decoration (but most likely will go for some skulls or the eye of horus for the traitors) and chose the following names;

While I made progress on the Knights of House Moritain, it would be time to move on with the remaining Legio Astraman Reaver. I did the bases the same way as before, and added the two dry brushes after Citadel Contrast Aggaros Dunes dried. I used Army Painter Desert Yellow and Army Painter Skeleton Bone, and brushed it over the feet of the miniatures later as well.

As the armour plates were painted white and green, with the golden trim, I wanted to do the chevrons for some variation on left leg again and cut up some strips of masking tape and added the dark blue contrast in Citadel Base Paint Night Lords Blue. If you're not using an airbrush to do this, painting over the masking tape with the base colour creates cleaner edges, just like you would do on a wall.

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.
