Thoughts on the painting of, and playing with, toy soldiers.

The War Engines of Legio Crassus

Long time no see! I won't bore you with the tedious details of why I haven't been blogging much (too much Real Life getting in the way), but although I haven't posted here in over 10 months, I haven't been idle: I've just finished the titan legion I posted about last June:



The legion consists of four Warhounds, three Reavers, four Warlords and a repainted and refurbished Warmonger (which still needs a bit of attention as one of the Hydra turrets has lost a barrel).

with the exception of the arm weapons on the Warmonger, and the Carapace weapons on the Lucius-pattern Warlord, every single weapon is magnetised, meaning that I can customise the weapons load-out of each titan as I see fit. In addition to a lot of classic metal and plastic titan weapons, I've also included some of the weapons from the Defeat in Detail Cybershadows Leviathan models to proxy as various different weapons.

These titans are painted in the colours of Legio Crassus - a titan legion that was loyal to the Warmaster during the Horus Heresy. None of the titans show the corruption of Chaos - but that might change in the future! For now, they are just a Heresy-era traitor legion, and wear the Eye of Horus proudly over their metallic green armour.

A new legion rises...

Here is the magnetised Reaver that I showed a video of in my last post. You will not that its colour scheme doesn't match my other titans: this is because I have decided to build a new legion; because of the increased interest in Epic in my local area, I've been playing more titan-versus-titan intro games, and I want to have two different legions for these games.

The colour scheme is an old one: I had a few titans painted in this colour scheme many years ago, but repainted them as Legio Pantera (something I now regret!).

I'm currently working on some Warhounds to go with the Reaver, and then a Warlord or two thereafter. I'm planning on magnetising them all!
