+ Painting is still going on, but I'm at a good stage – just the blue to highlight and white to clean up a bit on the upper body before I can turn to the fun bits like heraldry. +

| Looks suitably immense next to some Ultramarine infantry, don't you think? |
+ In Epic: Armageddon, Warlords are such big models relative to everything else on the table that it's important to 'sell' the size. You can do this with ultra-detailing, or careful weathering. The techniques are similar to those used at a larger scale, but there are some differences. +
+ Here, you can see the 'dirtiness' of the armour plates clearly. Titans are like battleships – when repairs are necessary, it's done bit by bit. For that reason, some plates here are painted with slightly different mixes of paint (I used touches of Kommando Khaki added to Instar white), and built up the effect with repeated glazes. The idea is not to get an eye-catching patchwork effect, but to create detail very subtly. +
+ The rear is looking fairly dull at the mo. I'll add some brass work, then brighten the rear deck. The dark gunmetal around it will act as a framing effect. Might add a spare Epic model or two, too. +
+ Various tanks and infantry advance in the shadow of Scesis Onomaton. Even Space Marines have to respect War Engines! +
+ One of the nice things about painting Titans is the freedom. Beyond using the basic colours, most Titan Legios give their Titans individual freedom for their heraldry, so you can mix and match the paintwork and plates as you wish. +

Coming along quite nicely. The blue and white is a great color combination (and one that you know how to utilize well).
Is part of the base going to be a road? Suggest that you consider some dead trees on the road side to break up the "same-y" effect of the grass tufts.
Truly impressive, I love how it's turning out. So great. More, more!!
