The titans look like standard 30mm models, but they’re huge guys on 30mm bases.  A Human comes up to their ankle.  There is a human on Philoctera’s base.  look by her foot on the pic facing your right.

I painted all 7 models so far at the same time.  I sat down to varnish them all.  Glossed them up, and airbrush primed something while that dried.  I then applied 2 more coats of matt varnish (It takes 3 to de-gloss them) and noticed 2 black spots on someone’s leg.  On inspection I’ve got black primer overspray on 3 Titans AND coated it in 2 layers of varnish!  Gah!

Gah!!!!Gah!!!!

Thankfully all their clothes and gear are dark so it can only really be seen on the flesh and the base.  The bases are already a little dirty and spotty by design, thanks to the final pigment stage.  I’m willing to call it dirt on the bases, meaning I only had to repaint the affected areas of flesh.  I was annoyed and frustrated and knew I only had myself to blame.  I rushed the repairs through and everyone is done now.

That’s everything for the Prologue done.  I think that can be completed in a weekend so I want all the Cycle 1 models done before I start playing.  That means next is 4 more Titans, Temenos, and a big and small scale Hermesian Persuer
