Why did I painted my battlefield assets? Well, it was because I bought a bunch of terrain for Adeptus Titanicus, and thus they look like this now. Sort of. I bought the Civitas Imperialis set, plus several spires, and now I got a bunch of terrain for my Adeptus Titanicus games! YAY! WOOHOO! I tried to finish painting them in Dreamers Vault, but I failed terribly. In the end, I went home and continued painting them at home. Bad idea, it's almost 3am now. Damn. But at least I finished painting them, so yay!
Well, this was what they looked before I left Dreamers Vault, a half-done paint job. Ugh. I'm so bad at this. And below is what they look like after I finished painting them at home. Sorry for the poor lighting and whatever, but I have quite limited stuff in my room, which makes it not very conducive for taking pictures. This is why I prefer to build and paint at Dreamers Vault as opposed to doing it at home, but I did my best. I think.
I can't wait to put my Titans and Knights among these pieces of terrain! One day, I will definitely do it. I don't know when, but I will definitely try that. Maybe after I buy the Adeptus Titanicus Imperial Knights on Saturday and begin assembling them. I can't wait for them! They will look so cool stomping around the spires, buildings and towers!
As for the normal 8th Edition Warhammer 40,000, I finally went and obtained a Skorpius Dunerider for my Skitarii. I felt that I might need it, especially for my poor Secutarii Hoplites. They were always traveling on foot, and that was slow. I wanted them to charge ahead next to the Cerastus Knight Lancer and escort him, rather than have the Titan Guard infantry fall behind the Cerastus Knight. Oh, well. So I decided to buy them a transport, and there you have it - the Skorpius Dunerider!
I made sure to paint the two Skitarii Rangers inside! While they are transporting the Secutarii Hoplites, the Skitarii Ranger crew inside will lay down cover fire with their cognis heavy stubbers! The servitor on top has even more cognis heavy stubbers! I wish it was galvanic rifles or something, but I'll take what I have, I guess. This really looks cool, it resembles a...what did you call it? Higgins Boat? The awesome amphibious landing boat that the Americans used during World War II.
I magnetized the thing...sort of, and assembled in such a way that I can swap the Skorpius Dunerider for a Skorpius Disintegrator. So it's basically a 2-in-1 vehicle. If I need to ferry my Secutarii Hoplites around, I'll stick to the Skorpius Dunerider. Otherwise I'll swap it for the Skorpius Disintegrator. As it turns out, it's pretty easy to build both parts and switch between both versions. I think? Yay!
So there you have it. The Ferrumite cannon...
And the Belleros energy cannon. Cool, right?
Oh, and because you actually need to assemble the main turret weapon with the Servitor that is the same one you use for the twin cognis heavy stubbers for the Skorpius Dunerider, the hatch that houses the turret weapons was empty. So I took the Skitarii Alpha that was supposed to poke his head and torso out of the cupola and used him as the gunner instead. Pretty neat solution, eh?
One day I'll be running a combined Adeptus Mechanicus and Imperial Knights force (the Knights will probably belong to a Mechanicus aligned House, but House Yato is pretty versatile enough to switch allegiances between the two when necessary), and I can't wait to see how they complement each other! I hope we get not only an update for the Adeptus Mechanicus in Psychic Awakening, but also the Mechanicum forge world stuff - just like the Adeptus Custodes, I hope we will eventually get 40K rules for the Horus Heresy Mechanicum units!
