I started in the Games Workshop hobby in 1990 by buying a copy of Space Marine from Virgin Megastore in Brighton. Rows of Mark 6 space marines with plastic Rhinos and Land Raiders in all their 6mm glory and the forces grew from there. My birthday saw me buy the pack of 6 bettle back Warlord titans to support and so it was with much nostalgia and giddy excitement that I looked forward to the new edition of Adeptus Titanicus.
In the end the purchase of the main box had to wait to have much done with until life settled down with new baby, but building the knights and titans was one of my rewards when I had some time as well as adding a few more titans as shown above.
The force was needing to be constructed and a bit of painting done for Jackhammer in March 19 and so using the old metal guide from the Imperial Knight painting video I got the skeletons of the titans done and blocked in some colours.
The titan legion I chose are my own one, Legio Aelferrum, the Twilight Blades. My original Epic titans were painted in broadly the same scheme which at the time was for the Firebrands legion but that has since changed so I kept the old scheme and came up with a new name.
So now with two weeks left I have a Warlord where I need to work out colours for the armour plates and paint the knights but I’m happy with the start. Part two will hopefully have a shot of the legion as it is ready to “advance at a steady pace” and an account of test games. Part 3 (got to be a trilogy for something this big) will be their test in battle at Jackhammer.
