For both we used the new Badzone rules, playing on a black mat to represent a ‘Stygian Abyss’. Essentially you can only move on gantries, platforms etc. If you fall off them, you can come back to the board next round on a successful initiative check (you fell to a lower level and climbed back up), if you fail, you are OOA as you fell screaming into the abyss! You played the first one in my shop I think.

Just as a heads up, the Necromunda tactics cards are all out of print and GW is, as usual, keeping mum about eventual reprints. The Van Saar set in particular is sold out everywhere and going for straight up stupid money on eBay. Fortunately some guy on yaktribe made a pdf of all the cards in an easily printable Magic-style format.

I've got a player in my store interested in playing and might be able to pull in a couple of the October guys. I can provide a table to play on and could possibly Arbitrate a campaign if everyone else strictly wants to play. I also ordered some TT combat ZM walls for my shop for Necro players.

Cross posting - I finally played a game of Titanicus - which means I have some non potato camera pictures of my titans. Puer Magnus  Puer Quaestio  Lupus Callidus and Lupus Mortiferum  House Piger Pictorem - They were frosted pretty badly by GWs varnish which is a shame because I was really pleased with how they turned out at first (especially considering how little effort I put into painting them).  We played 2 v 2, each player controlling a titan for our first game. Ended in a draw after my teammate destroyed the opposing reaver, who careened into his own reaver, destroying it. All the scenery belongs to my friend. It looked incredibly cool but i'm thinking it would be more practical to play on a flat map as opposed to the forgeworld tiles. We'll probably upgrade it to a battlegroup box between two players for the next game as well before thinking about advanced rules and knights and such.

I painted the warlord over, I want to say 10 days. The machine parts were pretty fun to paint and the panelling was just kind of busy work. I didn't sub assemble anything on purpose (I forgot the armour panels on the arm weapons and had to super glue those on) - but the arms and missile launchers are magnetised which made painting them and the titan body much easier.

  WIP    There's still plenty to be done here. I've still got to shade and highlight the additional armor panels - I've already taken care of the panels that are part of the body. After that, I've got details to do like the plasma (blue) and lenses (yellow). Still not sure what color to do the missiles, but may go with bone. I'm planning on an urban basing scheme for these models to help offset the green and brass. And then there's the decals.

If you want to try to save the paint jobs from frosted varnish, you can try re-spraying with a gloss coat, letting it dry, then going back over with a matte varnish (maybe not the GW one again). That usually does the trick.

I did in fact hit the two that got frosted the worst up with ardcoat (never had a problem with brush on varnish ever) and then coated them with lahmian medium and they're alright now.

TITANS COMPLETE (except for basing and decals) So I was dumb enough to paint an entire venator maniple at once. These models were honestly a joy to work on and I love the sense of scale each has to it. I'm looking forward to expanding on that with some urban basing down the line, but I've gotta figure out the details first. These are all Legio Solaria and the mottled green was a really nice break from my 30k Dark Angels. I chose Solaria primarily because I was trying to break out from endless black/silver/white/red. I really like painting green, it's why I originally chose Dark Angels way back when. They also happened to be focused on warhounds which are my favorite class. It was an easy choice to make. The green was achieved by starting with a Caliban Green base coat and then sponging on successively paler greens. With each step drifting towards a focal point of a panel, usually the center. The full process is listed below: 1. Base coat - Caliban Green 2. Sponge - Castellan Green 3. Sponge - Loren Forest 4. Sponge - Nurgling Green 5. Sponge - Deepkin Flesh 6. Glaze - 50/50 Waywatcher Green/medium 7. Sponge - Deepkin Flesh It's easier than it looks, sponging is super quick. I recess shaded with Nuln Oil as I hit the trim as well. Additionally, a couple of the warhounds have aquila decorations on their shin plates. I tried to emulate red sandstone for those as I feel like that'd be a fitting element for a titan legion centered around a hunting cult. I'll carry this forward where I can. I also broke from the scheme shown in the Titandeath book by going for brass trim instead of silver. I feel it works better with the green and isn't lost against the silver of the skeleton. The limited heraldry of Solaria has also been a welcome change from the endless checkers of 30k Dark Angels. They don't really do checkers or stripes like the other titan legions and it's been so nice to not have to worry about those things. Decals will hopefully fill that role. I'm also breaking with my usual habit and actually naming my models for once. Just seems fitting for this game. As I'm doing Legio Solaria, the Imperial Hunters, I had to come up with a good, fitting theme. It took a while, but I decided to name my warhounds after extinct canids and the rest flowed from there. Reavers are named after living fossils and warlords are megafauna. I'll worry about additional titan classes when they come. If we ever get an imperator, it'll be a dinosaur.  So that's all the boring poo poo out of the way, here are the pictures: Group shots:    Sphenodon Punctatus:  Xenocyon:  Metatomarctus:  Lupus Spelaeus:  Theriodictis:  Going forward, I need to base, varnish, and get some decals on these things, but my main focus is going to be painting a warlord titan. The rest can wait. I haven't chosen a name for it yet, but I do have plans for a melta/chainfist reaver (Macrochelys) and at least two more warhounds (Lepophagus and Aelurodon). One of those warhounds will be double plasma and the other will be double flamer. I vacillate between choosing the names as they fit a titan's role or just because it sounds good. Lepophagus is a favorite though. It means "hare eater" which seems fitting for a close-in warhound. Overall, I can't recommend these kits enough. Working to a different scale than 30k/40k is refreshing in itself and the models are fantastic. If anyone's on the fence with Titanicus, grab a box of warhounds and see where you wind up.

Those rule. I have a question about Adeptus Titanicus - I've played a couple of games now and seem to have the hang of most of it (we'll be adding the advanced rules next time) just need some clarity on line of sight. It says that you need to check if your target is in the arc (simple enough) but then you need to check if you have line of sight to the weapon. I'm assuming that means you can draw a line from the target to any part of your base right? Because otherwise two warlords who were facing each other wouldn't be able to fire their arm weapons at each other (because they're pointing to the left and right). Also the rules on blast weapons seem to be slightly off - it says they automatically scatter if not in range but that seems like an oversight to me (I mean, scatters occasionally hit and allowing you to do that when you're out of range seems wrong).

MrFlibble posted:Those rule. It's not, like, a direct line along the barrel of the weapon, it means rather that if, say, your titan is hull down behind a building so only its right side is exposed to the enemy, the left arm weapon wouldn't be able to shoot even if the titan as a whole has line of sight. And Blast weapons that fail their to hit roll always scatter, even on a Hit roll on the scatter dice - you use the little arrow on the die in this case. (It's explained under the blast weapon rules.)

Ok that first one makes sense. My point about blast weapons though is that you can be out of range and it automatically scatters but if it only moves 2 inches from the titan it still hits (since the template starts dead centre on the titan). If you're ten inches out of range that seems like an oversight to me.
