Monster March 4 Pledge and Kick-off

Welcome to Monster March!  Last year, during #MonsterMarch3, I painted up a Legio Tempestus Warlord titan for Adeptus Titanicus.  Since that time, I realized that I was not going to find a gaming friend to join in this game with me - at least not at the level of collecting and painting models.  Undaunted, I decided that I was just going to have to build a second Legio so I could field both sides in a regular game of Adeptus Titanicus.  That way I could invite folks to play and try the game out without any commitment on their part other than time.

So I begin #MonsterMarch4 with my second Warlord titan with all the trappings (well, with many trapping, anyway...).  This monster will be painted in the livery of Legio Ignatum. The Legio Ignatum were part of the Triad Ferrum Morgulus, the three original Titan Legions founded during the Age of Strife, along with Legio Tempestus and Legio Mortis.  This gives me a strong Mars theme for the models and allows me to play them either allied or opposed since Legio Tempestus split their loyalties during the Horus Heresy. The AT game appears to be pushing Tempestus as a traitor legio now too, so be it.

Full disclosure: the model was assembled, fully magnetized, last year.  To make up for that, I built a Warbringer which will serve as a stretch goal for the challenge. I don't want anyone to think I'm getting off easy!

A Naked Warbringer Titan - brrrrrrrrr

Now on with the painting!  This week I'll be priming both models and then hitting the base colors on the armor and skeleton of the Warlord.  Any leftover time will be used to make bonus progress on the Warbringer.  Check back towards the end of the week to see where I get.

Best of luck to the other #MonsterMarch4 challengers. There is some great projects going on out there.

Cheers and Happy Gaming!
