Comments: Planned to enter service alongside the XIIth Legion, with the 121st Shock Brigade under nominal command of Master of Skulls Amarok, following a request to the Warmaster for greater Anti-Engine capability. (Out of Background, this Titan was a wedding present - not sure my wife was quite so keen!) - {Keeper!! T.O.C}
Photos: Hope the photos make sense - It's still under construction and this will hopefully give me the impetus to get it finished. Includes the obligatory resin scubbing shot, as well as a shot of me taking a Black and Dekker to it, complete with jury rigged Dyson powered extraction system.

The Owners' Club is a great idea - looking forward to seeing more!

Work in Progress Pictures:

The Mandatory Titan Bath time

Pinning.

Brass Rods in place to secure the Leg Pistons.

Legs ready to be assembled

 Blastscape used to add detail to the base.


Painting has commenced. Great chipping.

Filler and sand added to the base.

Base is painted very well, and so is the Titan. The base though detailed does not draw attention away from the Reaver Titan. Chipped stripes on the knee pad shows very effective weathering.

Where the Battle Engine is up to as of the 12/08/2015. Lets hope to see it finished soon!

    1. Hi Matt. What colours did you use for the metalwork on the main structure?

    2. Ooh, that was a few months ago! I think it was black undercoat with a heavy drybrush of tin bitz, followed by a lighter drybrush of Boltgun Metal. I then added weathering and chipping by sponging on Charadon Granite and neat Boltgun Metal. I think I added some thin washes of Seraphim Sepia and Agrax Earth shade in some of the recesses. The key is to get smooth, consistent drybrushing, gradually building up the layers!

    3. An awesome WiP so far, really looking forward to seeing the next stage complete. Did you airbrush or hand paint the yellow?
