About the Project

I've had this since the grand master set first came out and I painted the warlords and started the knights from the box. I then got a couple of reavers and warhounds all of which were magnetised, assembled and primed and left. I thought this was a chance to get these ready.

Now the knights are done, I can move on to the reason for starting this project in the first place the bases.

First basing attempt

this is my first attempt at a ruin base, sprayed black and zenithed with standard mechanicas grey from rattle cans, and using the greys shown with an airbrush.

I then used pigment powder, my first time with these, but unfortunately it looks the Titan looks like he’s been wading in grey mud. Fortunately I have glossed the legs so I could wash it off and try again

Second try

My second try a the basing went better, this time same as before spray black and zenith with standard mechanicus grey. I then dry brushed on the greys from before and up the legs of the titans.

This led to the leg of the titans looking to light so I put a agrax earthshade over them to make them look a bit dirtier. I’m happier with this result than the last one.

Nearly finished the bases

I was hoping that the bases would be finished today but I obviously need to learn to count. I made all the bases for the knights and the titans using the same methods as before with the texture coming from Extra course pumice gel and some vallejo earth texture.

I have also used some blue stuff to make moulds of the container and oil drums from the mechanicus terrain set and incorporated a few of these into the bases.

As you can see from the last picture 3 of the red knights are without bases as I cant count so those are now underway.

Done (sort of)

So this project is done (at least for now), the terrain I had already assembled is painted and got some new terrain from Troublemaker Games for the big church and the ruins.

The terrain is painted in the same way as the bases and although I do have quite a lot of terrain left to assemble I am running out of steam on this and am going to leave it there.

The titans and knights have had their decals applied and the only thing left for them is some varnish and maybe painting the base rims black, not sure about though.
