A bit of work I did on my Legio Astorum collection for Adeptus Titanicus to bring it up to 2000pts worth.
Two new titans joined the ranks here: the 3D-printed Lucius-pattern Warhound (center front) with two vulcan mega-bolters, and the Dire Wolf (middle) with neutron laser. It's on these two that I started getting creative with flame patterns - a tediously delicate process I did with airbrush and masking tape (mostly cutting out the templates - the airbrushing was the easiest part).
As before, I run this using a Regia Maniple - 2 Warlords (king and queen) and up to 3 Warhounds (courtiers) - now with the Dire Wolf being a support titan, marking it as one of three weapons in the composition with a range greater than 24" (the other two being the turbo-laser destructors on two of the Warhounds). This suits me just fine since Astorum can perform more aggressive plays than one might expect with Warlords in AT, so having a "huntsman" that can flank and snipe titans with a weapon that shuts them down for a turn (stripping void shields in the process) is an exceptional utility.
It was in fact this list composition that won me "Best Loyalist Player" at a recent AT event in my local area, accomplishing all of my primary and secondary objectives (which included keeping as many of my titans alive) to the tune of 80 victory points scored in total.

Thank you!
These were definitely a blast to do. All of the plating was done with an airbrush (I've previously gone over which paints I used for that), specifically using a zenithal highlighting technique. The same also applied to the metallic components after a lot of masking tape was applied (albeit using different shades of metallic spray paint). Suffice to say that the trim and finer details were all done by hand.
