Assembling Titans

Previously, I had thought I would get funding for the summer, so I was reckless in spending (because I believed I would get more money in the summer and could afford it). Unfortunately, this week I ended up finding out that I won't be getting the funding after all (admittedly due to my incompetence - I have nobody to blame but myself), and so I find myself completely short on funds.

Stupidly, before I found out, I had already ordered a bunch of Adeptus Titanicus stuff. Oh, well. Anyway, they arrived this week (I ordered them about a week or 2 before I received the bad news - talk about terrible timing). So with nothing better to do - and suddely with a bit more free time because I essentially was "fired" (not that I was ever actually hired, though), I decided to take my mind off the terrible events that have befallen me by indulging in Warhammer 40,000.

Oh, and I also finally got my copy of Doom of Molech today. Emperor Banzai!



Anyway, I assembled a Reaver Titan and a Warlord Titan, and magnetized them. So even though they look like this, I will be able to swap out their arms and carapace weapons when I get more options in future (again, I ordered a whole bunch of stuff before I received the bad news, and am only receiving them after I realized to my dismay that I will not be getting funding after all). Still cool, though. I've already assembled the paired laser blasters, but I don't really like them, so I'm waiting until I get a second turbo laser destructor before I plant both of them on top of my plasma Warlord Titan.

I wonder what they will look like once I get all the weapon options. My eventual plan is to have 1 Warlord Titan with dual plasma annihilators and paired turbo laser destructors, 1 Reaver Titan with Apocalypse missile launcher and 2 volcano cannons, and 1 Warlord Titan with dual volcano cannons and paired Apocalypse missile launchers. They will be escorted by a pair of Cerastus Knight Lancers. I can either stick to the Myrmidion Heavy Maniple, or go for the Fortis Battle Maniple via using Legio Fortidus's Legion Trait to replace a Reaver Titan with a Warlord Titan. Heh. We'll see. Most likely I'll stay with the former, as rolling a 2+ to fire a second attack with a single weapon is just too good to pass up, but I am also tempted to merge the void shields of my volcano cannons Warlord and Reaver as well as get the armor bonus to them. If necessary, I can swap the volcano cannons for melta cannons or something...eventually, if we get more carapace weapons (like carapace Vulcan mega-bolter or paired macro-gatling blasters). We'll see.

I'll be working on my second Warlord Titan and magnetizing him tomorrow!
