Comments: Having been built and painted, and then disassembled and stripped back to resin, firstly on the battlefields as an Engine of Legio Mortis, and recovered and re-painted as Legio Astorum, this Engine has now transferred ownership from Princeps Alan G to TOC's own Princeps Seniores Siph and renamed Raptor Astra (Star Catcher) and will again undergo the Rites of Colour.

WORK IN PROGRESS PHOTOS:

The blue is being re-done to match the existing Maniple Titans in Princeps Seniores Siph's forces. You can see the different blue yet to be addressed on the Shoulder Pauldron and Shins. The large yellow front Glacis panels on the Shoulders have been replaced with blues like Siph's other Warlords.
Here is the re-painted Blues to match Princeps Siph's other Titans, and green power cables common across his Titan Maniple.
Here you can see the warmer gold of the repainted armour

  1. Stripped Titan? I can't imagine not only having to build and paint a warlord, but also before you even begin having to strip it back to its original state. My hat off to you sir! I look forward to seeing your progress.

  2. Unfortunately I rushed it the first time around, so rather than buy another one, I stripped this one back. Now I'm about to start afresh and hopefully this time do justice to such a wonderful kit.
