Capitain Brasidas

 I've converted the Emperor's Champion into a captain from my custom space marine chapter , the void crusaders. A fleet based chapter with an unknown gene-progenitor that dresses much like the black templars but has a more pragmatic approach to warfare (namely bringing devastators instead of crusader squads in 8th games, and blowing stuff up from afar instead of charging blindly into the teeth of enemy fire). They are said to recruit on the Metalica Subsector, and in fact a number of youths disappear from the penal colony of Johannis each year.

Being brass Brasidas replaces the traditional yellow of the capter with gold, he also wields a custodes shield that was gifted to him for his efforts in a battle where he fought along the Emperor's pratorians.

He can also double up as Sigismund in heresy games, a potent HQ and in paper a better than Dorn.

 In other news my knight has racked up some impressive victories recently so I added two skulls (victory) and two crossbones (killed the enemy warlord) to his banner

Since he oneshot an eldar archon he deserved some marksman honours

Flumen City

With the moon in the hands of the loyalists the traitors turned their gaze to the cities of Maerdan, the capital Fulmen City was hotly contested by both sides, with the engines of the legions bringing war on a titanic scale to the surrounding generatora and processing silos. With the planet still contested every battle was decisive for the final outcome of the war.

The horusian player attacked Fulmen City with Metalica defending

Both legios got the vital cargo mission, they had to leave the board with one titan by the opposite side

Metalica got the initiative and pressed onto the traitors that were massed in the right

An open are between silos and a generatorum was to be the decisive killing ground were the battle would be fought, being the only way trough for Legio Mortis

Imperius Tenebrus traded shots with an enemy engine barricaded behind the generator

Wile both sides traded blows Imperius Quintus sneaked towards the exit

One of the traitors made a run for it with striding speed

Quintus leaves with her cargo

The escapee is stopped by concentrated firepower and wrecking ball to the torso

The warlord tumbles and falls, while the loyalists surge forwards. With a devastating volley Imperius Tenebrus silences the titan behind the building, taking her out of the picture

Imperius Galgamech loses her shields, but her enemies aren't too better off

The last turn is come and the traitor cargo is still in their deployment zone, unconceivable!

I made this building as a kind of test, next to the warlord looks good but in the board was very small and lonely, perhaps he needs more neighbours? It was really quick to make so I might print more.
Not too happy with the "urban board" Oriol's jungle looks far better!

Titanicus terrain 2.0

 Tweaked slightly this paper terran that I designed for epic sometime eago soon to be printed and used in titanicus

Commission

 I was recently commissioned to paint this horde of lothern sea guard, despite the soul destroying grind that batch painting ch painting is I enjoyed doing these elves with all the gems and fine details. The colours were chosen by the client and the bases will be done by him too, that way he can tie up the unit with the rest of his army. 

If anyone has an interest  on getting their miniatures painted to a good standard feel free to mail me, I charge one euro for mini to the standard above, more fany paintjobs are also available.

Battle for Arrian Bastion

 Not only to the surface of the planet was the fight for Maerdan confined, its many satelites also saw bloody battles between traitor and loyalist. Chiefly among them was the moon Tharian, home to the void defence base called Arrian Defence Bastion, whoever controlled the instalations would not only be master of the surrounding space but also be able to make rain atomic fire upon the enemy thanks to the wealth of defence missiles stockpiled inside...

 In this Meeting Engagement game both sides wrote in secret their objective in secret then deployed, however since we both picked the destroy the enemy option it was prettty evident fro turn one). Legio Mortis spread her titans in two groups of two while Metalica formed a mass pointing to the right. Then the battle began with Metalica having the initiative.

 Imperius Quintus was stripped of her shields by the engine of princeps seniores Jagan of Mortis

 However the loyalists reacted fast, stripping the voids from Abolitorus (next to the "traitor's hand") and damaging her torso with aimed shots

 Imperius Damnatio turned right to help her beleguarded comrade

 Both Mortis were now shieldless while the rest of the maniple was locked on first fire orders

 Albeit savaged by the continous volley Quintus staggers on, even destroying her enemy's volcano 

 Abolitorus ran away chased by shots, but when her enemies closed in, not even the incoming reinforcements seemed able to save her

 Princeps Jagan also turned his engine away from Quintus but to no avail

 The loyalist mauled her torso with the anihilator, giving the coup de grace with her powerfist, the traitor staggered on for some metres, falling then to the ground

The rest of Mortis arrives too late

 With a well aimed blaster volley Tenebrus killed Tantus Abolitorus, sealing the game

 As the loyalists take over Arrian the traitors flee to the planet below.

Clearly the traitor player made a mistake during his deployment in dividing his force, the loyalists only had to concentrate all the firepower in one flank. Since it was the first game where we used orders we both comitted some mistakes, I wasted an order phase by failing a movement order first and he locked his right titans into place with first fire.

Since the loyalists have conquered the moon it's time to update the map

 I even made some ad hoc terrain: missile silo/Necromunda hatch
