Lord of the Battlefield

When I first saw Legions Imperialis presented by GW I was instantly into the game, as Epic 40k was the game I could never afford as a teenager. When I decided to invest into the game, one of the things I knew I definitely wanted in my army was a titan. But not just any titan, I wanted that beautiful Lucius pattern titan that for so many years was looking at me from the storefront, out of reach.

Games Workshop no longer produces this model, as it was phased out in favor of the more round, more knightly, Mars pattern titans. So I had to get mine from an STL provider online. The model was a few bucks but was totally scaled up to the new Legions Imperialis scale.   

You could not imagine the surge of joy I experienced when I pulled my titan from the 3D printer plate. It was glorious and full of detail. I couldn't wait to add it to my army.  I had to decide which titan color scheme could fit with my Iron Warriors, and luckily I found Legio Krytos had a green color scheme that I could easily match with the original green color of the original 40k Warlord.

Adding some danger marks and some details, made a pretty solid translation of the old color scheme to the new model. 

For the base I had several ruins I got from the bits box of my local game club and a bunch of spare marines that didn't fit into other legion bases that provided extra scenery to make the base livelier. 

The model was prepared to be magnetised so I opted to print several weapons options to adapt to several loadout configurations, even some that do not have an actual weapon profile like the assault drill.

I also finished all of my Civitas Administratum sector, which now allows me to make some really really cool photos with the troops as well as serve as great scenery for our battles. I tried to use muted colors and play with the red tone of the city tiles in the pigments on the roofs of the buildings, to give the feeling that the dust of the planet was accumulating on the recesses of the buildings. 

As a bonus, here are some pictures of my recently painted Protheus Land Raiders, ready to make Arkhan Land proud by crushing into the enemies of the fourth legion.
