The first Happy Sunday for 2018. Woohooo!!!!!
Happy Sunday!
Does Andrea know that you were trying to lick Paolo Parente’s Guest Box? o_0 😛
Granitus the Titan of Stone A mighty crunching was heard in the distance. Was there an avalanche? No not a avalanche but a living mountain of stone! It was enormous standing 200, no 300 meters tall. It was truly a sight to behold as it approached my town. I could see the sun glint of the myriad of gemstones that festooned its carapace. It looked like a herculean Beetle crushing everything in its path. It devoured trees like a sheep eating grass and knocked down buildings as if they were offending it, The town guard tried to mount a defense… Read more »
Fantastic show. I’ll record my YouTube video tonight of my Titan.

For the mythic battles paint schemes, all the statuesque ideas sound cool. Bit whichever you go for I think firing up the eyes and weapons with energy effects would be awesome. Like the statues are imbued with the powers of the gods and come to life.
Splash of OSL with the airbrush should do the trick.
Happy Sunday!!
Finally got my base pledge for MB:P yesterday, and the size of the collection is daunting; hence the wife’s eyebrows have disappeared under her hairline. Trying to imagine if I’d gone Typhon!
Well, ****er me with a big measuring stick! After all this time and I’ve actually won something!!
When the pic went up my heart started to pound, then my idea was read out… Off to dig some pyjamas out from the back of my drawer to do an unsuitable dance in!
Prometheus stood staring across the landscape of ruined temples and collapsed buildings. His liver itched as he sensed the presence of a now diminished god; the same god he had helped to conquer Olympus many aeons before; but the same that had turned on him left him chained to his rock to suffer an eternal tormented existence; well it only lasted for most of those aeons. Heracles, the demi-god that had rescued Prometheus – a previously immortal titan- – from the rock, stepped up beside him accompanied by a retinue of soldiers. “I feel the presence of my father too!”… Read more »
Reposting in titan thread with design notes for Prometheus
The Junkyard Titan… Iron girders, pitted with rust, ground and crunched as the industrial behemoth lumbered forward. Each seismic step shook the ground, leaving crators the size of buildings. The thunderous impacts were punctuated by the squeal of twisting metal. Below the titan, a constant rain of metallic flakes fell like rusted snow. From time to time, larger pieces twisted through the air and slammed into the ground. Towards the summit of the construct, enormous arms the size of dockyard cranes swung back and forth. Highest of all, a great metallic silo sat on shoulders fashioned from the hulls of… Read more »
Olympus Mons, Titan of Mars Something tickled. Not the usual sharp pain of space-rock impacts, or the fiery burn of the Parent Star. More like an insect running up its back. But it had been many millennia since the organics had left. Their fleeting existence extinguished as they squandered their opportunity for peace. A pang of remorse? No. It had to be done. Such hubris could not be allowed to continue unchecked. Had they learned? The blue-green planet was still blue-green. They’ve lasted longer this time. Maybe there is hope. Again the tickling. Some kind of wheeled creature. Advanced technology.… Read more »
A Typhon pledge you say?….I don’t zink I am very interested … I already have one you zee… 😉
Seriously anyone who wins this is going to need a Titanic amount of space to fit it all in…lol
My God pledge was big enough… Might try though?
It’s nice to see the Titan entries coming in already but would it not be easier to start a stand alone thread for people to post in so people can read them all in the same place?
done http://www.beastsofwar.com/groups/backstage-green-room/forum/topic/xlbs-14-01-18-titan-entries/
Well, there is only really one choice for Titans…
Teen Titans 😉
greyknights….
Now that is out of the way, the real titan choice or should I say the correct choices… The Sons of Cronos, Défteros, Leptó, and Ωρες (Now I hope that website doesn’t scramble the Greek) Also, known as Seconds, Minutes, and Hours These ravenous beast consume all in their site, take your most precious moments from your life slips away as they pass by. Insects and rodents drop dead as the pass, their lives completely destroyed at their mere presence. Seconds is the smallest of the three, but his smaller stature, is made up for in his hyperactive nature, making… Read more »
A competition for a Typhon bundle? Will have to get an entry in for that :p
Typhon bundle you say @redben? Will have to get an entry in for that too!!! :p
Great Show, brilliant to have you all back, Happy New Year, etc….
Sorry Justin but I’m with Warren on this one 😀 you will need transition that only airbrush can give you. but with that technique you can do bit by bit as well it does not take long and give yo 100% control.
I’m coming to 4ground bootcamp in feb and staying till Tuesday so I can help you a bit if needed.
oh and Warren @warzan marble come in all colours mate, anything you can imagine.
yellow with violet, red, blue or white veins. white, pinkish, reddish, pink, salmon, rose, green white black. and all that in different shades,
Computation 001001001 Titan The faint buzz of something eerie could be heard just on the boundary of the humans hearing.A quick flicker of coloured light caught the eye. Suddenly a great crasendo of mechanical noise is heard as the beast awakes,the small lights are dwarfed by gigantic screens lighting up and fans the size of a small house work to cool the hot workings inside the body.I rears up higher and higher dwarfing the world of man,it scans the world around with a vision that sees and haters everything! It bellows”enter password and I will reveal knowledge beyond your wildest… Read more »
Well I have been base coating my Mythic Battle Pantheon figures using army painter skelly bone and then using the Army Painter Method for the troops and going a bit more town on the hero’s god’s and Monsters.
I did cut my Athena model off the base it took about 20mins to do with the tools I have..lol
@warzan easy ghost effect
prime grey (stynylrez or ump grey same thing), zenith white primer, get a suitable green or blue colour (i use inks) several light layers, done, you will spend more time basing than painting
completelly agree. if I woul play big fantasy that would be gost army for me.
Mythic battles really is quite awesome, a game which certainly would never have existed in such depth if it weren’t for Kickstarter.
I agree with Justin starting with the core box of Mythic Battles but with 4 players I have the feeling that the options are to limited and that some players can’t choose their full RP in models.
Each player doesn’t draft 12pts of units in a four player game.
@redben We used the 14pts total per player for a 4-player game stated in skirmish mode.
But 2 of the players went troop heavy, all the mid tier monsters and heroes were chosen, only Achilles and the hydra were left at the end.
Played a 4 Player game with 14points each on Saturday with the core box, it was only Hercules and the Infernal warriors not selected. I won the game with just Ares, Hydra and Achilles its a brutal combo 🙂
The game has so many different facets to it an combinations that it has huge replaybility even with just the core box
Omos and Dynami. Conjoined twin titans.

@warzan I drove Routs 66 twice the first time my father bough a 66 Oldmobile Toronado in Indiana and we drove it back to San Francisco where he lived. Amazing experience but with no air conditioning we had to do a lot of the desert driving (and there is a lot) early in the morning as it was just too hot during the day to be in the car, it took us 12 days. The second time we took both of my sisters and rented a modern cadillac. We did it at a very leisurely pace and it took 18… Read more »
The might Kong would be a King amongst Titans 🙂
