Armiger Knight Moirax, Acastus Knights Porphyrion and Steel Dragons

Still slowly working on my Steel Dragons at quite the glacial pace (it's no longer summer, and I have graduate school stuff), so I honestly don't have much in the way of progress. Worse, time is running out because there's a 1,000-point Adeptus Titanicus tournament on October 26th, Saturday, and I have a Cerastus Knight Lancer and 2 Acastus Knights Porphyrion to paint. This isn't looking good. At least I've primed them black.


For 1,000 points, it'll be hard for me to squeeze a Warlord Titan in, so I just went with Knight banners instead. I got an additional 2 Acastus Knights Porphyrion so that I can have 2 banners of 2 each, and a single banner of 3 Cerastus Knights Lancer. The remaining points will be invested in a single Reaver Titan (the reinforcement Titan). I hope this works, but...yeah. It probably won't and I will get utterly destroyed. Well, who cares? I'm playing for fun, not to win. So I'm gonna plaay with the models I like, and I like the Knights. Heh. Not gonna add Warhounds because I'm not a fan of Warhounds.



Oh, and I also got the Vulcan mega-bolter for my Reaver Titan. So I can equip him with either the Apocalypse missile launcher and 2 volcano cannons for long range, or I can give him the Vulcan mega-bolter and 2 melta cannons for close range. Pretty happy with the options I have! Bombarding people from afar with missiles and volcano cannons? I can do that. Need to get up close and pepper void shields with Vulcan mega-bolter fire before unleashing devastating melta beams from dual melta cannons? I can do that too! YAY!



And then there is my Armiger Knights Moirax. I bought 2 Moirax conversion beam cannons, and so I can equip both of them with Moirax conversion beam cannons and volkite veuglaires. Make them shooty, so I don't need the siege claws. YAY! I've painted them black as well, and will look to add the details...soon. I don't know when, but I will definitely paint them soon. I can't wait to see how the conversion beam cannons work out alongside the volkite veuglaires!







My Steel Dragons are also coming along slowly. I managed to get a Razorback and build it today, along with the twin assault cannons from Forge World. Thanks to that, I now have a Razorback with twin assault cannons I also built the twin lascannons, just in case I need them, so I can swap the twin assault cannons out for twin lascannons if I need to. I also got cyclone missile launchers for my two Contemptor Mortis Dreadnoughts with plasma cannons, so they are armed to the teeth! Pretty happy with the way they look!



I wonder how they will all turn out eventually, after I actually paint them. Now it's pretty hard to make out the details, but I'm sure they'll stand out more once I get some paint on them. After this, I'm just gonna wait for the Impulsors to be released before getting a couple of them.



Wait, why am I not playing Triple Repulsor Executioners if I'm using the Iron Hands Successor Chapter Tactics? Because I don't care about meta. I don't care about fielding overpowered lists. I like robots and tanks, so I'll field robots and tanks. I'm a simple guy like that. And I love plasma, so I'm going to give everyone plasma!
