Adeptus Titanicus

So it's been since March 2021 since I've assembled and painted any Adeptus Titanicus. Man when one runs out of steam... 

I had two partially built Reaver Titans to go to finish my Legio, so I finished one and completed painting it, then started to finish the other before I became interested in something else shiny on my painting pile. I guess I am blessed and cursed to have so many choices. If I didn't have ADD I am sure I would complete projects in a more normal hobbyist manner (then again, I think everyone in my hobby has ADD, so maybe not). 

So while I am working on my Battletech, Border Wars, Rif Wars, and in-between all that chasing around my 15 week old puppy to prevent him from peeing all over our new rug (very limited success so far, and a lot less painting), amongst other projects. I thought I'd post a few pictures of my magnetized Reaver with multi weapon choices. So without further ado I present my Reaver Titan "Mortis Vult".  

 As always thanks for looking.

Battletech Jade Falcon Elementals

As a small quick project I painted up a Star of Elementals for the Clan Jade Falcons project I’ve been working on forever. I’ve got three Stars or a Trinary of Jade Falcon mechs that I have to place decals on and finish the bases. But Bolt Action got in the way. Hopefully I’ll finish them in a couple of weeks.

 As always thanks for looking.

Border Wars: Under a Reiver Moon.... Cattle

 I am hoping to run a game of Border Wars: Under a Reiver Moon at Pro or Con in September. This all depends though on my friend finishing his eight foot figures, and I, eight foot figures, three emissaries, and four cattle. Then us both getting together and playing a few games so we actually know how to teach and run the game. 

Things are moving slow due to some personal family issues but I have faith. The Sun still shines even on cloudy days. 

As always thanks for looking.

Bolt Action: France 1940 German support teams

 Well this is it for now. I have completed 500 points of France 1940 Germans. I have, in order, a MMG team, mortar team, spotter, medic, and officer escort.

The only thing left from the starter kit to paint is the 251 halftrack and an Infantry gun. The 251 is a plastic kit, so will see how I feel later this week. Right now I have the urge to finish painting my Adeptus Titanicus Reiver Titans. I have two I need to do and they have been waiting two years for me to finish them. 

So onwards and upwards!

As always thanks for looking.

Bolt Action: 1940 France German Tank

 Well a 251, and a Panzer IV came with the Bolt Action German Blitzkreig starter set, so I said "Why not!" and promptly put it together and painted it in two days, maybe five total hours of work with drying time and decals etc. It really flew by and I was impressed with the resin body and metal parts.

Here are a few shots...

As always thanks for looking.

Bolt Action: France 1940 Germans

 I was right in the middle of finishing up some Battletech miniatures when I had a discussion with a friend of mine that had me put that project on full stop (for the moment).

You see he told me he bought a painted Bolt Action French platoon, among some other items, and the next thing you know I was buying a Bolt Action German Blitzkreig starter set. After all it's not often that one of my friends paints an army much less buys one. One must take advantage of situations when they pop up as you never know if the chance will come again.

So after a week I painted up two full ten man squads with an Officer to boot. I still have a few other items I am working on and I will post those later when I finish.

In the meantime I've posted a few pictures of my table top standard dudes. My goal was down and dirty, get them to the table and play a game with said friend before he changes his mind.

I never in my life thought I would paint anything WWII again, forty years ago it was my bread and butter go to historical period, funny how things come back around again. So here they are in all their glory...

As always thanks for looking.

Border Wars: Under a Reiver Moon....

 Well it's been awhile, but I trudged along and finally finished my five mounted Reiver's. These figures, as well as the game, are available  through Flags of War .

My friend Anton has been scratch building some scenery for the time period involved and has been doing an excellent job. Visit his blog to see his ongoing project, this is the link to his main page Anton's Wargame Blog . If you visit just scroll down to the Border War project articles to see how he started and has progressed. 

Unfortunately the bast.... ahem, I mean good fellow has taken a vacation to Ireland for a few weeks so I won't be seeing the finished project in my hands any time soon. But that's okay, because I still have a bit of painting to do, and so does my poor friend Mark who I sort of talked into doing this with me by saying to him "hey, there is this cool period and figures available and I think we should do it! Oh and by the way you owe me such and such dollars as I bought them for you already."

Yeah, it was like that. Fortunately he went along with it, but I don't see myself getting away with that again anytime soon. You gotta love me as a friend, or.... I'll just leave this at that.

The following are what you've all been waiting for, the pictures. First the Leader, followed by the Hero, and then the three Soldiers (grunts), and a group shot.

....and finally the group shot.

This has been a fun project so far, and I can't wait to dig into our first game.

As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
