Magnetizing the arms of the Warhound Titan
Below are the steps I took to magnetize the arms of my Warhound Titans.
I ended up using 3/8″ magnets, specifically 3/8″ by 1/4″ step sided magnets.
There is (barely) room for 1/2″ magnets (which I used on my Reaver) and if I could do it again I might use those…as the 3/8″ magnets are ‘slightly’ too weak.
This is where I chose to magnetize the arms.

Forgeworld Warhounds WIP shots
A quick preview / work in progress pics of the pair of Forgeworld mars pattern warhound titans I’m currently building. I just finished the modular/LiPo/switched LED setup. Next is to finish detailing the cockpit and then epoxying the heads to the chassis.

League – Best Painted!
Wow, I won ‘best painted’ in the latest league at ATEase Games in Poway, CA with 1500 points of my blood angels army!!!
My army is on top of the dark grey foam on the right side of the picture in the middle.
There were some REALLY NICE armies on the table… Some great looking Necrons, Tyrranids, & Grey Knights in particular.

Video Monitor for Terrain
I’m super excited to have commissioned a pretty ambitious terrain project with the best miniatures terrain maker out there.. 3t studios. Long story short, I’m looking to have them create ‘inertia cradles’ for my reaver titan and my two upcoming warhound titans. In my mind I’m picturing gantries, cables, gothic/imperial architecture, etc.
Because I’m not very good at moderation… I’m also envisioning combining two of my hobbies… miniatures and micro-controllers. So… I’m working to embed video panels into the terrain piece. I’m envisioning a “1984 Orwellian” face proclaiming imperian 40K propaganda (probably “The emperor protects!”) and some smaller screens with what look to be moving dashboards showing the state of each titan.
I’ve actually made great progress… I purchased a 3.2″ LCD display module from 4DGL systems, an Australian company. Fortunately, Sparkfun resells their products so I don’t have to wait for trans-pacific shipments.
Finally, moments ago, I actually got video playback working for the first time! Obviously the video displayed in the terrain piece wont be a of my dogs… but hey, it works!

Privateer Press at ComicCon
My wife, Ms. P. scored tickets to ComicCon at the last minute… I asked her to check if they were selling the new Colossal’s expansion or if they had any of the old ‘studio’ brushes. Man, would have been cool to head down there and play a demo game with one of the Privateer Press guys! <sigh>

Warmachine Cygnar vs. Retribution 20 points
Doh! I’m now 1/5 vs my nemesis Mr. A!! I’ve actually got agreement from him to ‘reset’ the counter to games played at the shop, so am 1:1 (tied!).
Which makes our next game ever so important!
Quick description of the game… we played the “Break The Line” game type, and while I was able to toast both of his light warjacks, he fragged my unit of long gunners with his stealthed Mage Hunters (they could shoot me, but I couldn’t shoot them, as I didn’t bring any anti stealth) and my Ironclad with his battle group. It could have gone either way if it was a basic game… but at the beginning on my turn 4 he controlled two of his zones and one of mine…so it was game over! In retrospect I don’t think I’d play this game again at low points values (anything less than 35 or so).
30mm Madness!
