Another week, another set of photos to show for my work on this Legio Ignatum Reaver for Adeptus Titanicus. Now with more decals! And a painted base. The project is very close to complete. Since I last posted, there was some cleanup, a bit of highlighting, then lots of decals.
I like that each titan can be very unique while still looking cohesive in a maniple. The individual heraldry is fun to create.
I chose the little yellow honeycomb Legio icons for either side of the black carapace. The (relatively) new decal sheet is full of fun stuff and the decals are well made, in my opinion. I have yet to tear one and I'm not the most careful when it comes to their application. I especially can't stop fussing with the to get the positioning "just right".
Some axes on the groin plate and knee. I like the wasp on the inside leg armor. The shoulders were just too busy with the strips to put Legio iconography there, in my opinion. The Adeptus Titanicus eagle fit well on the chain blade.
I added icons to the rear armor for interest. The Legio Titanicus "bow and arrow" in this case.
A Legio Ignatum cog icon was used on the other side. I put a small icon on the Melta Cannon as well. The Volcano Cannon has a black skull kill marker on it.
With decals applied, it was time to get the base painted. A simple two color approach with a couple washes. Checkout the Legio paint recipe tabs above for specifics, if you are interested.
And at last the weathering powders to lend that cliche dusty Mars terrain feel. Simple and effective for these over-sized game pieces. I'm enjoying painting this Legio and they are a nice contrast to the Tempestus Titans I painted before this. One more painting session I think and I'll call this Reaver done.
Hope you all are staying safe out there.
Cheers and Happy Gaming!
