Legio Mortis - Adeptus Titanicus
Journey to Mars
I haven’t been able to make a lot of progress on the Legio. I’ve instead been busy prepping for an upcoming Con next weekend where I’ll be DM’ing the Adventures League 2018 Open (8+ hour mod). It’s 77 pages long and I don’t want to disappoint. I was able to come up with a plan for the torso to fix the issues detailed below but I’ll save that for the next update.
Since a few people commented on the basing for Titan Alpha, I’ve decided to document it a bit better this go-around.
First: Texturing, You’ll see that below, but a bit of text on the subject. I have a number of interesting textures I’ve collected, I utilize heat activated molding compound to make negative molds on them. I did that with the large rock structures and the Reaver head. Plunk them down with super glue and use superglue and flocking texture to make some disturbed earth. Then I used some crackle paint (not well, I need more practice with this stuff) on the flat areas.
Second: Prime, then build up the model. I want it painted so that when I do the next steps I can naturally dust over that paint job. I also painted the rocks here, some darkish grey with a green-grey highlight. Scale75 Graphene Grey with Secret Weapon Concrete wash as a glaze.
Third: Spray a Deep Red down as a base coat for the.. Base. This is Vallejo Model Black Red.
Forth: Drybrush an Orange. In this case, Scale75 Mars Orange
Fifth: Smother it in Orange Pigment Powder. Secret Weapon Orange Rust
Sixth: Mix in a bit of Red Pigment, I hate flat colors. Secret Weapon Red Rust
Seventh: Spray some fixer, paint the base edge black. I also painted the Reaver head, somewhat fun.
