Having been unable to sleep last night, I decided to handle something pretty easy to get the ball rolling further. This entry gives you a hint as to what is coming up later in the challenge ;)
These buildings are from the new Adeptus Titanicus range from GW and are exceptionally flexible in their modularity. Hopefully they come out with some additional sprues over time that include some of the bits in their 40k range. It would be nice to have factories that match. The big building looks like it should have a giant marshmallow man attacking it...
The buildings are 6mm (approximately), but not your typical historical size doors. This is the far future we are talking about here, so to give you a sense of scale on these things, here's the Strawbear from yesterday next to the smaller buildings. Maybe this is what some poor Imperial citizen felt was the safest appearance to think of for the Destroyer...

Excellent work on these, Paul.
I really like the design of these new little building kits from GW, especially as you can swap them around to make different shaped structures. They have that wonderful over-the-top sci-fi gothic look that fits the setting perfectly. The only problem is that you've have to spend a veritable fortune to fill a proper 6 x 4 table with the little blighters - then again, perhaps that's the point. :)
I'm looking forward to seeing more Adeptus Titanicus stuff from you, Paul. I may have a couple Epic things to pop up as well, if I can get my skates on.
Well done!
The benefit of Adeptus Titanicus is that you don't actually *want* lots of terrain as the bases of the titans are pretty big and you'll block lots of the table off.
ReplyDeleteActually we play with tons of terrain, and I try to have wrecked versions of everything that originally starts on the table. With this we use the destructible terrain rules (plus a few home-brew mods) so through shooting or stomping the tabetop looks completely wrecked by the end of the game - it's great fun. It also allows smaller units like Knights and Warhounds to be quite dangerous as they can stalk amongst the ruins and claim some level of cover as they try to hunt the larger titans.
DeleteMore terrain it is then!
DeleteThese look brilliant
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Paul. I have a load of old "Epic" to paint for the AHPC, and might now buy some of this new terrain. Looking forward to more :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat work Pail, two posts already! I gotta say that the Strawbear patrolling the AT city looks like a great cheesy monster movie.
ReplyDeleteNow *there* is an idea... 7TV Kaiju!!
DeleteThose buildings really remind me of Space Marine with the 20mm square infantry bases on top...
ReplyDeleteNice work on the buildings Paul :)
ReplyDeleteFine work on the buildings Paul!

Lovely work on your Imperial Gothic buildings!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Excellent looking paint jobs there! I love those buildings, GW really knocked them out of the park, I just wish they were a bit bigger / taller for the price, but hey, that's GW for you. I can't wait to see more done up by you though, great clean work on them!
ReplyDeleteThe agri-world's first attempt to build their own fleet of Knights didn't go so well...
ReplyDeleteLovely looking buildings, well done.
Assembling these buildings made me insane, but they do look great, and your painting is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThos buildings definitely look the part. I‘m somehow missing domes and spires though. But you‘ve certainly done a magnificient paint job on these.
ReplyDeleteVery effective painting work on those buildings!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work, they’ll dress the table a treat!
ReplyDeleteGrand work on the buildings! I do like them both for the paint and the sculpting. They do seem as if they would fit in well with the old foam buildings from the past and the card stock from space marine.
ReplyDeleteThat straw bear seems to be getting around a bit! ;)
