Posted on by

A couple of nuggets have appeared on Faiet 212 this week. First the Author of Dark Angels is said to be Matt Ward “inside links at gw, he just got back to me saying Ward is doing The Dark Angel Codex.” Via proxy comm preiditor

Also the release date is now said to be January. The rumours around the release date have bounced around a lot, which suggests either bogus information or G.W. havn’t made a decission.

Project Titan Update 1

Posted on by


It’s been a good day on the titan. I’ve made two new weapons, the Vulcan mega bolter and plasma blast gun were going to need a bit more time and care than my deadline will allow so I’ve made a couple of turbo laser destructor from some £5 worth of pipe and what is left from the foam board. I’ve constructed two exhaust from a peace of plastic cover and some card board. I’ve also used some green stuff to add some details. The green hav’t come out very well. I’m hoping I can tidy them up a bit once they have dried.

I’ve trimmed around the greens, which has sharped them up a bit. I’ve also started to PVA coat all the card board to add some strength. I’ve mixed in black paint with the PVA, partly so I know where I’ve painted and partly to reduce the number of coats of primer it will need.

I’m hoping to start painting it green tomorrow.

Project titan – Update 2 – Paint

Posted on by

I’ve fanaily got to put paint on my titan. I started with spraying a mix of two old Games Workshop green paints, Emeralde and Dark Angel.

I uses a second mix of mid green and light green, to add high lighting with the spray gun.

I’ve now gone back over the black parts and started to paint some of the details

I’m planing a game today so will be trying this out as it is before added a bit more paint and details.
