One of the drawbacks of trying to use a Warlord Titan in Legions Imperialis is that the available formations where you can field it are very limited. If you intend to play it as a Titan Legions force you are constrained to a single maniple where the Warlord can shine. And that maniple forces you to include at least a single Reaver Titan, one of my least favourite titan models.
Luckily, someone online has solved my issue, creating a 3D reimagining of the Reaver in the classic Lucius Pattern style used for Epic 40k Warlord Titans. This design is more boxy, less insectoid and more 80's anime robot, and I love it.
It was painted as the rest of my maniple in Legio Krytos colors, sporting a turquoise green with white stripes, and some danger markings speckled around the frame.
The base was spruced up with a failed 3d printed Rhino that looked like someone had stepped on it and some Iron Warriors, roaming around the base. I had to print a base in filament, so it's slightly higher than the currently used Legions Imperialis bases, but still looks great on the table with the rest of the force.
The maniple is complete!
I also have been working on some Atropos knights. I split the box with a friend so we got two Atropos each: Enough to test some schemes and give some support to my mechanicum forces. Originally I planned to paint these in blue and black like my dark mechanicum army but I found the metallic red gave a way better contrast with other knights as my Acastus were already metallic blue.
I tried different color coded weapons to make them easily identifyable on the battlefield and added the heraldry of my custom knight house, sporting white circles and arrows over a red and black field on the standards.
