Comments: A second-hand purchase I came across with help from Princeps Thomas B., and as this is manufactured twin of my own Reaver 010 "Honorum", and Lord TITANium's Reaver 011, I put in a good offer and secured the acquisition. Now undergoing the rites of Re-dedication and Re-construction.

The scheme is from Imperial Armour Siege of Vraks which has a poster of the Astorum Battlegroup, the chequered shoulders were a challenge to do but I love the finished result.

This was a second-hand purchase, and an old and venerable Engine from initial release day, sister Engine to "Honorum" (Reaver No.10) and Lord TITANium's "Astramos Mortis Æternem" (Reaver No.11) so quite the collection!

'09' can be seen on the rear of the carapace, and here you can see the chequers in detail and the flame stencil work of the leg greaves.

The rear you can see the head of an ejected Revenant Aeldari Titan, with claw marks, perhaps beheaded by Astor Tyrannis!

Alternative armaments for close up work, a Power Claw and Melta Cannon, all magnetised at shoulder and arm joint so Siph can take any of the collection of armaments depending on what composition of titans he is taking to a Titan Walk event.

'09' is also repeated on the neck gorget armour panel.

The power cables of all the weapons are not attached on the titan carapace end, so the remove with the weapon.

Base and Aeldari Revenant head in detail. Here you can also see the screw up into the foot to provide support so weight is distributed away from the single toe.

Leg and knee detail

Undergoing the Rites of re-construction and re-dedication

Gatling Blaster in new scheme

Astor Tyrannis' distinctive chequered shoulder plates completed, a lot of individual masking.

And Astor Tyrannis' flame Greaves have also been started, trim to do.

Leg work started with red panels on toe piston armour to match the base of the flames.

Close Combat arm option converted from the Chaos version with removal of the chaos iconography - to be interchangeable with the ranged weapons.
