What a week!

Well, it's been ~13 hours since that last post, and I officially declare myself to be done building titans for now. I didn't finish them all, in fact, I only got one more to the point where I'll be able to use it tomorrow (for a total of two), but that's ok. Chance smiled upon me today, and as it turns out, there will be another Titan Princeps joining the fray, and he was kind enough to agree to allow me to utilize one of his Reaver Titans he ran out of room for. I'll be 50 points under the 3k limit, but I'm totally fine with that.

It's the Final Countdown!

I wish I had 24 hours left!

So it's Friday, and the game is tomorrow. I'm not sure I'll be able to make all the remaining Titans in time, but by the Emperor I'm going to try!

Progress!

I'm currently taking a break so I figured I'd sit down and share what I've gotten done already. I finished the first Titan yesterday, and assembled the torsos of the other three. I'm about to start on the heads and then the... pelvis... area of the Titans, and if that goes really quickly, I'll finish off the weapon arms tonight that way I'll have two whole days to work on the legs and feet, which happens to be the part I'm dreading... the pose of the model is 100% dependent on the legs and they take FOREVER to assemble. And I'm doing all this before the big game on Saturday... I hope there's an Apocalypse game this Saturday... if not, well at least I'll have the structural stuff done and then I can detail as I see fit. In any case, here's a couple pics:

Poll: Paint Scheme

Which paint scheme should I use on the wrecked Warhound? I've finished it and mounted it on its base (along with a hill/pile of dirt structure made of paper towels, which will be later painted and have sand/flock glued on.) Basically, I need a color for the majority of the structure, one for the head, and one for... trim, but I think I want to do caution stripes on the trim, so take that into consideration. So... primary and secondary colors... go! (Also, it will be weathered, because it's been, you know... boom!ed for a while...)

Wrecked Warhound WIP

So I figured now is a good time to take some pictures and what not of this bad boy. I've made some pretty decent progress so far, I'd say I'm about 60% done with it (this estimate may or may not include the crater it will be sitting in...) I still need to do a bunch of plates to break up the large flat areas (not a huge deal, just a bit tedious), and the slatted vents on the back shoulder-thingies (which I'm not necessarily looking forward to.) Also, I need to finish the gun and mount it. Aside from that... It's definitely coming together.

I'm actually kind of sad that I'm making this into terrain instead of an actual model, but such is life... in any case, enjoy the pics:

A New Game

In my wandering around the internet I found something most intriguing... Flipit Paper Combat.

I was piddling around looking for paper templates for Storm Talons (the aren't any yet, when I find one, I'll post something here.) and found a guy who A.) Really likes making Eli Patoroch paper templates and B.) made a tabletop wargame that uses paper template models, including terrain, which are free to download from his site, along with rules.
