Warhound Titans

After having painted all the Knights it was the turn of the first Titans of the Army, a couple of Warhound Titans!

First, I needed to choose a Legio. After reading the lore of traitor Legions, I had a winner: Legio Mortis! Not only they are the most obvious one for the Sons of Horus, but also they match quite nicely with House
Ærthegn that I chose for the Knights.

I have adapted the patterns seen here for my Titans and I plan to do the same for the Reaver and the Warlord.

After having painted a "clean" version of the Titans, I chose to apply different weathering techniques to give them a worn feel that fits better with the rest of the army, but without making them look destroyed. I was aiming for a well-worn and dusty type of look.

One interesting thing to mention is that I have used decals like I did for the Knights, and after applying Micro Sol I added a fine layer of matt varnish, to protect them from the weathering that was coming. It turned out exactly as I wanted and I am very satisfied with the result. They look like freehands and that is amazing. I will be using this technique more often in the future. I have done a few close-ups of these decals. Most of the photos turned out blurry, somehow I was not able to capture the whole miniature in focus.

In the last few photos you can see that all weapons and body are magnetized so I can easily choose and swap whatever I need for each battle.

I had a lot of fun painting these and I am super excited to start with the Reaver which is already on my desk!
