Some AT 18 Scatter Terrain

Some scatter terrain for GW's Adeptus Titanicus.

I haven't painted anything for Adeptus Titanicus in a while now - but GW has just released a nicely bonkers new model for the range, and this has inspired me to get back to some AT18 projects. To warm up a little, I thought I would start with these bits of scatter terrain from Forge World that have been hanging around the painting queue for quite a while. These are all resin models - there are a couple of "manufactorums" and a some power generators.

The "Manufactorum" - no doubt it is "safety first" at these facilities...

Generators - surely they are "net-zero", with no carbon emissions at all...

These are not going to providing anything in the way of cover in games of Adeptus Titanicus - they are too small for that. But they will make great objectives, or just add nicely to the look of the tables. There is an additional bonus in that these would serve well as objectives/ground targets in games of Aeronautica Imperialis. And let's not forget Epic - these terrain pieces will be excellent for games of Epic 30k - and the case of those models, can also provide some obstruction to lines of fire!

Another view of the Manufactorum, and the access node.

As you can see, these terrain bit will not be providing much "cover" when the Titans are involved, but they'll make fine objectives and table accents.

I'm not much for painting terrain, but even a terrain-avoiding sloth like me really had no problem painting up these nice little models. Hopefully these will see some action in a game sometime...who knows when...but anyway, good to get back into the AT18-painting groove for a bit of a run.

Thanks for reading - stay safe and stay sane.

Painting Challenge Entry: AT18 Legio Gryphonicus Reaver Titan

I've been a bit remiss in posting here as I've been madly painting in the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge. As the Challenge has ended, now it's time to play some catch-up and repost a few models here on our home blog. This is the Legio Gryphonicus Reaver Titan I painted for the "Altar of the Snowlord" - the final room of the Chambers of Challenge.

Here we see the Reaver equipped with Laser Blaster and Volcano Cannon arm weapons and a carapace-mounted Turbo Laser Destructor.

But wait - there's more! I painted all of the weapon options for the Reaver and magnetized them for easy swapping - here the God-machine is seen equipped with a Gatling Blaster, power fist, and carapace-mounted Apocalypse Missile Launcher. And a different head, to boot.

A close up look at the Reaver's heraldry on its shoulder pauldrons.

...and on the knee armour. Notice anything funny going on here?

A rear view. The Reaver was painted as follows: metal bits, Leadbelcher and Brass Scorpion; grey bits, Mechanicus Standard Grey with lighter grey dapple camo; yellow bits, Averland Sunset over XV-88 base. Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade washes, and sponge chipping with Rhinox Hide and craft black paint. Groundwork is Rhinox Hide - Mournfang Brown - Steel Legion Drab - Rakarth Flesh. 

Here's another weapon combo - Melta Cannon and Chainfist. It tickles!!

What a cracking model.

Here's the Reaver with its extra bits.

And broken down into its component parts, all magnetised of course. 

I really need to finish this model within the Challenge window as a lot was riding on it - Conscript Mike painted up a 3D-printed Legio Gryphonicus Warhound and offered it as my prize should I complete all of the rooms in the Challenge, so how could I resist that! Anyway as noted above I'll be paging back through some of my Challenge entries and posting them here - it could take awhile though!

Painting Challenge Super Post!

 I haven't posted here in a while due to the analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge. I kept meaning to copy my posts from there to this blog, but I kept putting it off until there were too many entries to get through. I decided to create one super post with all my entries to this date, plus a bonus entry that doesn't qualify for the challenge because they were partially painted before it began.

I also slowly completed a tactical squad for my delayed, but not forgotten 9th edition Minotaurs project

 

4Ground 10mm Security Fencing for Adeptus Titanicus

Last year for Christmas, Pam got me some very cool terrain from 4Ground. The first one of these kits to be built was their "Security Fencing" set, shown above with Gilles. 

The set gives you ten full-length fence sections, eight half-length sections, ten corner sections, and two full- and one half-section gates.

The photo above gives a good idea of how much you get. It should be an ample quantity for fencing off an industrial area on your AT table. The terrain tile above is two feet on each edge.

Tiny though they are, the fences in the kit are composed of *many* tiny fibreboard parts. The fencing itself is printed clear acetate that you cut out from the sheet yourself. Clever.

You also get some "gate" sections as shown here.

The kit is listed as "Skill Level 3" out of 5. I also have a "Skill Level 5" kit yet to build and I have to confess I'm a bit afraid of it. The fencing kit was certainly not difficult to assemble but it was somewhat fiddly and composed of many small parts. Thank goodness it was pre-painted... however the parts all fit well and putting them together was a pleasant way to spend a few hours.

Hopefully they'll maybe see the gaming table sometime next year...?

Stay healthy and safe everyone.
