Warhound Progress

Work on the titan is coming along better.  The major pieces are all put together. Some of the detail pistons are put on and most of the gaps have been filled with putty.  The weapons, torso, leg plates and void shield generators are all magnetized as well.

Final assembly will see the rest of the pistons put into place.  Then it's on to priming and the start of the painting process.

I'm keeping the hip and upper leg armor pieces separate for now since I think it will be easier to paint them separately.

As for the Apocalypse game this last Tuesday, the titans performed pretty well.  They pounded on each other and various doomed troops that stood between. Ahriman used a demon shell to wipe out Belial's terminator squad.

The lessons to learn are that you need weapons that can get through their armor.  These guys are super resilient.  Chainfists, Deep-striking melta-guns and massed las-fire are a must.

Fight Night

It's 40K fight night. The crowd continues to grow. I think last time there were eight people throwing down.

My buddy and I are debuting our Titans tonight. We're going to throw down a minimal (3000 point) Apocalypse game so we can be sure to have a handle on the titan rules before the next group apocalypse game.

I'm still undecided about the Strategic Asset I'm going to use, but here's what I'm bringing model-wise:
Chaos Warhound Titan
Baneblade
Conclave of Chaos
Ahrrimann
Demon Prince w/Wings
Demon Prince w/Wings
Demon Prince w/Wings
Demon Prince w/Wings
3 Terminators w/ 1 powerfist
3 Terminators w/ 1 powerfist
5 chosen w/Icon of Chaos & Lascannon
5 chosen
Possessed Land Raider
5 Lesser Demons
5 Lesser Demons

Titanic Proportions

Are these one and the same? I have eight pages of instructions that tell me they are! The chaos warhound titan from forgeworld has at least 150 pieces to it and an insane amount of detail inside of the model. All the parts are cleaned and on Sunday I'll have time to start removing flash in preparation for getting the legs put together.

Crazy.

Happy New Year

2009 is upon me. Here's some goals for this blog in the new year:

• Post More - I already have sort of failed this since it's already 5 days into the year before I even get around to a New Year's post. I'm shooting for twice a week.
• More Exposure - Try to get some others to come to the site. Currently it just exists as a place for me and me alone. Maybe there are other people out there who enjoy 40K and warhammer online
• More Painting - I'm going good on this. I've got ten daemonettes a few drybrush passes away from being done. Pictures will be up soon.
• More supplements - I've got my campaign write-up and a scenario that I want to polish up and post. I'd like to do more of these things, especially since I have a regular group that seems willing to indulge me.

That's it. We're off to the races.
