Adeptus Titanicus - Legio Defensor (Nova Guard) Reaver Titan

Image
Hello Everyone!  The update is finally here.  I had planned to post yesterday.  Fate had other ideas. 🤣  I managed to drop the rear end of the Melta Cannon and couldn't find it!  I was fuming to say the least.  In the end I had to use a pair of tights over the hoover to forage it out.  It managed to travel further than humanly expected for a small piece of plastic.  On a lighter note I did find a combi-melta thought lost and a MkIV helmet. Result!! So here we are in its current glory. For the point of current gaming I'm calling it done. I will likely revisit it as time permits and change or add a few details and possibly add some decals too.  It's also safe to say that  I  may need to invest in building a decent light box because  I  think the pictures  don't  really do it justice. This was the picture I used for inspiration from the Campaign Book for Adeptus Titanicus: TitanDeath I'm really hap...

Unity B4 Heresy Blog Round-up

Evening everyone welcome to another round up from us all here at UnityB4Heresy. This week King Fluff has been trying to wade through the rest of the painting needed for next weekends trip to Hopes Folly and Boards & Swords in Derby.  He’s almost ready to add lightning and decals to the larger units of the force. Stay tuned for a proper run down prior to the event. Hobby admin for GG this week. After scoping a large stash of bits off a friend and deciding I really needed to sort out of hobby work station.   A major exercise in catharticism!                  In other news he's also bringing together all the forces he’ll need for Hope’s Folly next Saturday and his first UB4H meet up at Warhammer World! Now, where did he put that Acquisitor?? Myself I've been working towards my first completed Adeptus Titanicus Scale Titan.  It's been quite a journey considering I wanted to build and paint it in 24hrs...

Adeptus Titanicus - Legio Defensor Titan Build and Paint.

Image
Evening Everyone!  It's a little later than planned but the work life balance unfortunately requires some of the work part for the life part to continue lol So I've teased around the inter web over the last week or so my new Reaver Titan for AT.  I set myself a challenge last weekend to see if I could build and paint a Reaver Class Titan in 24hrs to a Table Top standard I would be happy with. Did I do it....?  Short answer ....No 😂 There's a fairly reasonable 'why'.  I did state a Table Top standard I'd be happy with and well after the 24hr point I could have put it together and called it done.  But in honesty I wouldn't have been happy and that's the key.  So I continued to paint as I wanted to.  So what you have today is a step by step guide to my painting and the journey so far. I chose the Legio Defensor or Novaguard as I wanted to change up my pallet.  As you may or may not know I'm painting my first Legio as Praesagius.  The...

Horus Heresy - Chondax Campaign: Game One Scars and Iron

Image
GG here with what I hope is the first of many game reviews.  I’m going to be working though the Chondax campaign with a few friends, but for the first game I’m playing against my little bro and he will be using my Iron Warriors.  Clearly the Agents of Alpharius continue to disguise themselves in the colours of their brother legions at this early stage in the campaign… Ok so we’ll jump straight in.  For those of you unfamiliar with this campaign it is split into 2 phases; the Deception Phase as the Alpha legion seek to coral the White scars in to favourable kill zones then the Destruction phase when they reveal themselves fully and look to utterly destroy the remaining White Scars forces in the Chondax system. Pre-game I rolled ‘From Surprise, Courage’ on the Ensnared Boons table meaning my hammer of wrath attached are worked out at AP4 and gain concussive. My enemy rolled ‘Mimic’ on the deceivers table meaning he needed to roll on the Ensnared table, then rol...

Unity B4 Heresy Blog Round-up

Evening everyone!  Not our usual posting day but we've all been pretty busy here at the blog and the weekend was no exception.  Family, work and hobby in mixed bags.  Mainly for the most part family. And it's always good to spend time on hobby but it's far more important to spend time with your family if you have the chance and the luxury to do so. People have been receiving copies of Molech and new scenery bundles galore all over the hobby world.  Mine is still in the warp at this point with transit looking to be completed shortly.  Fingers crossed. So on to the hobby part 😉👍🏼 This last week has been a hobby right off for King Fluff with nothing done as he’s been pulled from pillar to post over the Easter holidays so to that end here’s a picture of him eating toast at a rather lovely hotel in Cumbria. Still travelling in the wilds of the North this last week didn't stop GG list building for an event he has coming up.  GGs Brotherhood of the...
