Suddenly.....TITANS!

Wow few tumbleweeds here, with life, work and other annoying this getting in the way of blogging this site has been neglected, but no more!

Well with almost a year gone by since my last entry I have done a fair few things hobby wise, but to get things kick started again i thought something big....Titanic in fact!  The war machines of Legio Astraman AKA the Morning Stars!
First up my painted warhound 'wolf hunter' which has been shown before but not on this site.
There are a few added details hatches, exhausts and this hand painted banner.
And there are some more free hand in the form of the symbol of the Legio the Morning star and other Legio symbols on the legs.
Ok so on to my next Titan, a work in progress waiting to be painted, the Reaver Battle Titan 'Thunder child'
The model has been more converted than the warhound with a new scratch built head, reactor room and added details and brass etched symbols. Oh and thanks to the miracle that is liquid green stuff was able to fill many air bubbles and mold defects (it is an old armorcast model after all)
The original head was too small, I liked the design of the more iconic Reaver head so after a bit of plasticard and tubing this is what I came up with.
 The back of the Titan was a bit bland so I made it bigger, some cables and added a gantry.
And utilizing some of the great brass etched sets from forgeworld, added a few symbols here and there.
So the Reaver will be painted more of the same as the Warhound, green and gold with blue and white chevrons etc, dunno when this one will be done thought as its in the queue behind Blood Angels, Orks, Night Goblins, this list goes on but watch this space!

So that the Titans.  The other BIG thing on my completed list is my realm of battle board that my lovely wife bought for me Christmas 2009 I think, painted as a desert board for the baking sands of Armageddon, Khemri or North Africa......well maybe not the last one yet, must resist historical!
Oh and to go with the desert stomping grounds for the titans I also have a deadly desert monster.....
See ya next time!
