Location: Hampshire, UK
Comments: This was a rescue titan, perhaps scavenged from the battlefield (eBay Rescue) formally of Legio Fureans and undergone re-dedication and Rites of Colour and Rites of Construction (it was insufficiently put together and had fallen/collapsed before being finished by previous owners). Now all joints are pinned, scored and glued with JB Plastic Weld on bare surfaces - (not smooth painted surfaces which led to failures I believe). Mons Vesuvius Walked at UK Walk at the London Grand Tournament and achieved 3 Engine Kills!

The Titan is fully magnetized for ease of storage, transport and if Princeps Siph wants to swap out the main gun for a Mori-Quake Cannon and Magazines from the second variant of the Forge World Warbringer Nemesis kit.

The battle honours are listed on the Banner, and the ruins on the base come from the original rescue job which had a large ruined base which was too large and heavy for matching the other titans Siph owns.

On the reverse of the Banner is the Titan Owners Club crest (Huzzah!)

The main armament is wired into the generators beneath the void shield generators. These are magnetised so the whole assembly can be removed. The hoses are magnetised at both ends in the pre-drilled holes. The Volcano Cannon capacitors are also magnetised to the torso hull with 5 neodymium magnets each in the pre-drilled holes (6mm diameter, 2mm deep).

The AA batteries are also magnetised and rotate and gun barrels depress and elevate.

The scroll work is High Gothic (pigeon Latin) for "Win Victory by the Emperor's Might"

The Mars-Alpha head.

The secondary armament here is the Battle Titan Volcano Cannon

The other arm is less reactor-heavy, the multi-barrel Gatling Blaster

Princeps Siph has added the flames on the legs, preserved from the original Legio Fureans scheme on the original rescue titan. Now recoloured to represent Legio Astorum.

The same on the thigh armour, it was black flames and repainted for Astorum.

Here you can see the teflon coasters under the base for ease of movement on the battle mat at Titan Owners Club events. Congratulations to Princeps Seniores Siph on his latest acquisition.
