How to hide a titan

Today was a good 6 hours put in bringing the first part of my Adeptus Titanicus terrain up to table standards.

It is the contents of the starter set and the civitas imeprialis sector boxes, giving quite a lot of parts to build various structures.

After building they were undercoated black, then overbrushed with adeptus battlegrey (dark grey), then a heavy dry brush of Elf Grey, yes I still have a pot of paint over 20 years old.

Doors and eagle gargoyles were picked out in Vallejo polished gold, then the doors were given a wash of agrax earthshade.

The last image shows the versatility of the components, the smaller modules actually clip onto the bigger ones to create truly tall buildings that even the big titans can use as cover.
The spires kit makes up the little temple like structures, and I may get more of these as they do look fantastic.

The dusty dark look of the buildings is chosen to match my terrain matt, which has areas of rubble printed on it.

That's all for today, thanks for looking in, and stay safe everyone.

Update

Small update on where the 6mm ancients got too on the painting front, as usual I got distracted and started painting bits that were unfinished and lying around.





Here are 12 more bases of Numidian cavalry, a great unit to have, fits in so many armies.
Very easy miniatures to paint and a good start for getting me back into painting after a long time out.

These were started 2 years ago during the AHPC, never got them all finished until now, they are to be used with my dark ages Saxons, something to defend from the Vikings.

Some 28mm barrels and spares, for general scatter terrain, from renedra.

And here is the startled bog monster, I have no idea where I got him from, think he was an impulse buy at a bring and buy market. I think he is an old grenadier model but cant be sure, he certainly looks surprised at being charged by the numidians.
He was initially going to be used as a greater daemon for Epic Armageddon, but he may just pop up in other games for fun.


That's all for today, may be back tomorrow with some big stompy robots.

Stay safe everyone.

AHPC multiscale bunker

Not a lot of painting this week, but i did finish off this 28mm scale sci fi bunker that has been lying around for at least 2 years.

When i started painting it, i had some big ideas, but then i realised if i leave off details i could use this for several scales.


It is fairly basic and i cant remember what i bought it for or from whom.


The interior has had a basic grey painted inside, nothing fancy here.

And here it is next to some (not part of the challenge, except the biker in another post) miniatures. It will be a small bunker in 28mm, a moderate bunker in 15mm, or my personal favourite a semi-enclosed outpost in 6mm.

This was a very basic paint job and as the model would probably only fill half of the 6 inch cube i am happy to accept 10 points at judges discretion.

Hopefully something more exciting in the next post.

Thank you for looking.
