Well you know how I feel about Cavalry! The Deathriders and Mamaluk (did I get that right?) look great. The banner is especially pleasing. Will you be adding more horsies in the future? Haha Close, they're the Tallarn Mukaali Rough riders. Great fun to paint and I had fun making the base with the dead solders. I would like another five, so I have a sqaud of Ten and my Commissar but I really want a Gorgon first, I hope the Re-release it before War Hammer fest in Coventry. Thank you, I'm glad you like the banner, I was strugglingfor ages because he's DKOK and he has Vostroyan Flag, but in the end I thought F*@k it.

She looks great! I especially like the checked pattern on the back. Also the interior of the cockpit must have taken ages (so much detail)

Thanks Jud I'm glad you like it, it's taken me 10 Months to get this far. The checked Pattern was hard to get right but after a lot of yelling and rude words it came out pretty well. The cockpit did take some time but it was so much fun to paint, the detail on this thing is crazy. Cheers Treads, Haha I'd love to have a Reaver throwing a stick but sadly, that sort of money has to go towards a House Grow up they said, it would be fun they said. I've been working out my over all army points, I thought I had 8,500pts worth in total, how wrong was I? Turns out all those tanks,the Voss Lightenings and my Scout Titan is 8,500pts. I begin my HQ and Troops this weekend, could be close to 11,000pts.

Titan is looking great: there is some great detailwork in there. 11000 pts of guard/imperium models is quite the collection. Always fun if you can field an apocalypse team by yourself

The Taurox looks pretty nice. Did you paint the interior?

Now that’s a sight to see! That’s an epic force. Nearly everything painted too! 11 years well spent.

I didn't do the interior, I have see others and I wished I did because I've seen a great Tallarn conversion. Cheers Jud, it's been so much fun collecting it all and painting. I've smashed the troops to the point I only have 6 left to complete. I'll be going over some of the tanks that I need to finish off next. It took for ever to pack away, I had a nap halfway through.

I'm in the opposite boat, I've painted the interior but I can't settle on a camouflage scheme for the exterior. Most of my vehicles are painted a simple placeholder mauve that I quite like but always feel that I should upgrade, for the Taurox I'm tempted to paint it with a light grey/dark grey scheme and then get four more to use them to transport veterans (who use an inverted grey-purple colour scheme in comparison to my other troops), or for platoon commanders.
(Actually there are a couple of interior parts I didn't glue in yet, the crew and the corkscrew that goes up into the turret, because I can't recall how they fit in.)
Looking at all that Guard armour laid out with a really consistent commitment to the same colour scheme is really visually pleasing. The ratio of titans, air, armour and infantry really invokes The Armageddon computer game by Slytherin. If you get a chance to lay them out enmasse again then you should collaborate with a friend to get them on a board with some Orks or something and do a photoshoot of some super incredible battle.

"for the Taurox I'm tempted to paint it with a light grey/dark grey scheme and then get four more to use them to transport veterans (who use an inverted grey-purple colour scheme in comparison to my other troops)"
I like the sound of the scheme, light and Dark Grey with Purple sounds pretty cool. I'm going to need pictures of the inside for i.
Thanks EmptyHat, I hope to add two Knight Titans to body guard my Scout Titan and I'm undecided on the next super heavy. I'm also looking to swap out the 2 older Chimera's so that they fit the same scheme, as they're older now and as you say it's very pleasing to see consistent Colour Scheme.
I don't have any friends that play at all, so I play against myself. I do have orks and the Imperial Emplacement that I could use.

That is a beautiful sight!
Echoing comments of consistency - and I love how the red ties the warhound in to the infantry.

I went through a load of Legions to try and find a perfect match that ties to my army and looks the part. I hope you complete the Knight Titans in the same colours, but it does mean stressing over the chequed Pattern.

I’m liking the sound of the Knight household with the Titan! Will you be getting the new box set with the mini Knights? You could have all the different classes of Imperial walkers! Would be very cinematic!

Here's a picture of the inside. I really should finish it at some point. There are a couple more angles here but they are all basically of the same thing.] We should get a game going at some point and write up a sweet battle report.

The feeling of regret is coming back to me now, It looks so cool! really well done on the dash board, the screens look great.
Yea I'd like that, I'll come up with some point lists and see what we can do.

Do you play 8th now, or have you stuck with an earlier edition?

Would be very cinematic! I'm not 100% sure I like the mini Knights, I need to see it in person before I decide if I like them. It would be cool to have mini Knights body guarding Imperial Knights and a Scout Titan haha Would be a family you want to stay away from.

The mini knights look a bit scrawny in the photos but I've got to say the Apoc game I played with ORks vs Dark Angels where I had a Morkanaut with three deff dreads and maybe 12 Killer Kanz hanging out together was one of the most visually satisfying things I've seen on a board. I bet it would look pretty sweet with the Imperial walkers together even if the mini knights weren't so awesome looking on their own.

After setting out my entire army I relised I needed to finish off all those Vostroyans, still in the white base coat. So the past week I set up a work shop to complete them all and boy was it hard. I could complete three a day, so I plowed through the lot of them. Thanks to Emptyhat, we completed an exchange so I've treated myself to some more troops.
