Thanks Guys!

Lovely work.  Love the Titan, just finished mine off and have started on the Reaver now.  I need to get a Shadowsword for my Tallarn but should really finish the baneblade first

It was actually seeing your titan painted up on your blog that inspired me to seek one out on eBay. I really dig the paint job you did on yours and have been serious considering doing something similar...

Thanks, I am painting the Reaver in the same scheme and then on to the epic ones

On a 5+ it suffers a "Cataclysmic Explosion" and each unit within 3d6" suffers..... d6 Mortal Wounds... that's it...
how very cinematic...a D6 light shower of disruptive dust... :?

none the less looking forwards to seeing how its painted and crossing my fingers its not red or blue. the only colours in existence it seems for titans  lol

Love Tallarn, very much like how you handle them!  :)

Got a couple of squads storaged. This might inspire me to actually dig them out and paint them.

But... I LIKE red... (and I really like the way Quendil's Warhound Titan looks!)

I'm leaning towards camp schemes at the moment - at least for the carapace.

In the meantime - I finally finished a squad of Roughriders!

A little armoured anti-infantry support for my Tallarn - a Leman Russ Punisher!

This army is great! I'm more of a Catachan fan myself but the paint job on these models and little additions to individual models is fantastic!

Thanks Chickenbane!

Oh, I have my fair share of Catachans as well...

But that force is pretty much done now... So I'm working on these Tallarn.

If ever I finish them, I'd love to put together a Valhallan force... because I'm that kind of stupid...

Two new additions to the force...



Another Infantry Squad (for a total of four so far!)



And another Heavy Weapon Squad armed with Mortars.

I've been in a bit of a painting frenzy the last week and a half. I actually signed up for a 40K tournament on the 24th. It's going to be my first 40K tournament ever. Which seems like a weird thing, considering I'm 46 and started playing the game 30 years ago... (Mind you, I took a 20+ year break from the game, so...). The whole tournament style of play has been anathema to me since forever. I'm not totally stoked on the idea still, but I thought it might be a good chance to meet some of the other local players. And it's only 1000 points and there are some restrictions on big things (no Lords of War, no things that are 12+ power level, etc...). AND it's being held at a bar just four blocks from my house...

Anyway, despite easily having 1000+ points of Catachans I could have fielded, heck, I probably have 1000+ points of TALLARN I could have fielded, I got this stupid idea in my head that it would be fun to field a BRIGADE detachment for 1000 points... all I had to do was paint THREE Infantry Squads, a Heavy Weapon Squad, TWO Command Squads, TWO Officers, the Leman Russ tank (see above) and... well, originally I was going to put together another scout Sentinel, but now I'm thinking if I got two more Roughriders painted up, I could field a second squad of those, and that would be easier.... and all that had to be painted in three weeks...

No problem!

I have the tank and an infantry squad, a command squad (I'll post a picture of those when I finish the officer) and one heavy weapon squad done. Still have to finish up two more infantry squads, another command team, two officers, and a couple roughriders... in two weeks...

Here's what the force will look like:

Two more squads finished up this week...



and that makes SIX Infantry squads...



So now I can field "Brigade Detachments".

I just have two officers, a command squad and two roughriders to finish up in the next week...

(Oh, and then I still have loads more to do, but I'll have enough painted for the tournament I'm playing in next Saturday...)
