Catching up on Legions Imperialis and Adeptus Titanicus

This is part two of my post chatching up on what I got done over the last two months. This time looking at a bunch of completed Legions Imperialis Blood Angels. I also started the work on two Reaver Tians for my Legio Solaria, four Atrapos Knights for House Procon Vi and a set of Sabres for the Blood Angels.

I plan to go to the Legions Imperialis event at Warhammer World in June. Again, a great opportunity to get some more of my collection painted. The event calls for a few different lists. Among them one themed as a defender and one themed as an attacker. My collection suits the latter a bit better, so I'll have to see what I can do about that.

First up, I wanted to finish my Kratos tanks. I experimented a bit with them. Instead of giving them an oilwash, I did that stage with simple Nuln Oil. It worked out all right (the Nuln Oil dried faster, that's for sure), but I like the effect of the oil paint better. Still, I'm happy to have them done and look forward to paint some more tanks for an armoured company.

I also painted even more Dreadnoughts – this time another set of Levithans and Deredeos. All told I have 36 Dreadnoughts painted for the game. I think that might be enough for now! I have played a list with all of them in and I was quite impressed especially by the Deredeos!

Whilst building the Blood Angels from last post, I also did some work on the next few models for Adeptus Titanicus and Legions Imperialis. This time around its two Reaver Titans with a whole bunch of magnetized weapons. One of them is more static and will be the long ranged killer, while the more dynamic running pose (inspired by a beautiful Reaver from this post by the 40kaddict) will probably have the shorter ranged guns. But the engine could even be outfitted with two close combat weapons! During building I had Suber's warning about lining up the legs and feet in mind, which did help avoid desaster, especially with the running Reaver!

I also put together the new plastic Atrapos Knights for the House Procon Vi as well as a set of Sabre tanks for my Blood Angels. Both very fun and again incredibly detailed. However, putting the Sabre missles on the tanks individually really was an exercise in patiente. And I primed up the AT templates, ground assets and additional gubbins, so getting to play more should be even easier in the future.

    1. Thanks! These will be Solaria Engines, but I can see myself expanding into a second Legion and get even more Titans to build. These kits are really great!
