Another old Epic unit that's made it's way into our 40k games. A Blood and Skulls kit that I mostly completed about a decade ago. I pulled it out for Apocalypticon, needing to make up points as a few players dropped with short notice, only to find I have never finished painting the cannons.
Here's the second old school Revenant/Shade Titan with the rotary Multilaser and Pulsars. This one will be Alaitoc, so need to find my yellow and blue rattle cans!
Well it's a 3D print version of the same, but as close as I'm ever likely to get. I'm currently printing a couple, one with the classic weapon opens, and one with the revised set from this creator. I'll be adding some Apocalypse 2019 rules for them, but listing them as 'Shade' titans rather than confuse the issue with old and new names being the same. Look for those rules appearing over on the other blog.

Here's the first one finished, with alternative armament options. I'm still debating which secondary gun to fit, Shuriken Cannon or Multilaser? This one will be getting my Mai-Bai scheme, whilst the classic will be Alaitoc. Some of the bigger parts were done on my new Elegoo Saturn 2, which is great for these bigger pieces.
Here's some photos of the second one, being built with the classic weapons, as a WIP.
As promised, I like to unveil my new project:

We're hoping to run an event from next year to break all those huge armies and giant monsters and warmachines, and all the info, such that it's known at the moment is on the other link. In the meantime, let me leave you with these photos, and the information that this morning I was digging out my half printed Warlord to work out what's still needed.
As a stablemate to the Subjugator, here's my Questor - also by Evanogainen.
From the storage box, last Friday morning, with Subjugator bits, at this stage it has no legs!
I think I previewed a WIP of this years back, but it's another of Evanogainen's great works! Since we now have rules for these in our local 30k events (by King Fluff) and because I needed more superheavies for my Leviathan Detachment, I've had to seriously crack on with this during the last week. That's right, last Friday, just the two parts of the front hull were assembled, some bits still had printing supports attached, the tail still had damage from a failed print and the arm joints weren't printed.
Obviously the base still needs finishing but I'll do that in concert with my Questor to get them to match - more on that tomorrow.
For those too young, the Subjugator came out for 2nd edition Epic back in the 1990s.
Legs assembled and attached to hull.
I've finally thrown a bit more paint on my 3D printed Lucius Reaver! We've just the arm guns and the spot lights to go and "Clamans ad Vindictam" will walk. It'll be in the colours of Legio Mortis, rather than the originally planned Tempestor though. I really liked how Mortis' colours match those of my Justaerin, and it's much easier to paint!
As per the title, all the bits are now stuck back together - first time since he took his tumble in 2019!
Since we're looking at projects for the space elves, here's my Phantom. It now has the shoulder pads back on the correct sides, the rear fins reattached, 3d printed fins on the legs and sword arms and on one of the guns, not shown here. Next task is to reattached the gun arm and then begin repairing paint work.
I've managed to catch COVID again - so we're isolating, without lunches in my case because Tesco delivery substituted out all the things I needed for my lunches - oh well! I've had 3 jabs, so this is not as bad as it could have been, but I have on-off flu symptoms and I'm just totally bereft of any energy,
Anyway, when I wasn't feeling like moving was too much of a hard thing - I took this, progress shot on my two Slasha Gargants (one has only half a body - not shown here so far). The half body suffered a major print failure, so is being cut and shut with a good bit from a reprint. As if all this wasn't challenge enough, my Anycubic Photon Mono has suffered a screen failure, so I've repaired the old Photon and I'm having to use that for some bits for the Hueys.
Just a teaser, but something bigger than the Mekboy Gargant is coming!
Since I've had a little bit more free time, I've managed to get the Ender 5 working again - the 3 refused to start properly with a broken microswitch. That's on order, while in the meanwhile the 5 is buys cranking out a Mekboy Gargant. Posed here next to a Stompa I'm doing an Ebay rescue job on, it'll be on the table top using the Kustom Stompa rules. Gun and chainsword arms, and a Lifta-Droppa on the hydraulic arm.
I have a couple of Slasha Gargants sliced and ready to print, but they are behind a second Skullhamma.
Just a little more work on getting this guy back ready for the table. I printed a Rhino wreck I found on Thingiverse, so that the Titan has something on which to rest his foot.
I never posted this, but my Phantom had a nasty tumble some months back, and then wouldn't go back together properly. After several failed attempts to rebuild it, I put it all in a box, and walked away. Now armed with 3mm brass rob and an battery drill, I'm building it again - progress so far it this. I had to repose it as the previous pose was very unstable, and was straining the joints anyway - also I saw it had been built with the shins on the wrong sides, and some bits were missing. Now the legs are fitted correctly, and I've started printing some bits to sub in for the absent parts - who knows what happened to them! I'll be printing and then beating the stuffing out of a vehicle that will be going under the foot - too much of a cliche not to copy that!
