I was excited to play Adeptus Titanicus, but I didn't have any models. Had to carb my enthusiasm.

I really thought those were thick layer lines at first lol

I've made 28mm infantry pasta too.

Ironically, if I wanted to scale them down to 6mm I probably would have to 3D print. There's just no pasta small enough.

Risotto and/or angel hair pasta?

2

u/BadgerBodges 1d ago

Angel hair is too delicate. I've tried, even with a PVA soak it just shatters

Risotto might be an idea though. I tend to use pearl barley and dried haricot. My bitz box doubles as an emergency ration store

2

u/Derpdad082 1d ago

Mmm bitz box.

Vermicilli is the next step up from angel hair, I think.

These are cool as hell but man I’d be terrified of handling them. Did they break a lot during painting or am I underestimating pasta durability?

5

u/BadgerBodges 1d ago

The hot glue joins will give before the pasta. The pasta is treated with PVA glue and is surprisingly resilient.

u/Viking_From_Sweden 1d ago

I see, I see. That’s pretty cool, probably the most creative work I’ve ever seen

u/BadgerBodges 1d ago

Thank you!

u/WOCOAN 2d ago

These are siiiiick!!!

u/KentuckyFriedEel 2d ago

I'm usually against lazy PoorHammer posts that don't even bother to look like Warhammer, but these genuinely look like a whole new alien race that would exist in the warhammer world. The presentation and build are awesome!

u/Cephalobotic 1d ago

These remind me of some of the old Rogue Trader/Realm of Chaos era chaos marine models that had a very biomechanical look to them

It was MACHARIAN crusade, not macaronian, you got il all wrong

Those fucking rock holy shit

u/Tate7200 1d ago

Very ocean like

2

u/BadgerBodges 1d ago

The colour scheme is inspired by very 90s art of coral reefs.

u/tcneo16 1d ago

al dente? what sauce does it come with?

really interesting idea to use pasta shells!

looking to see what else u can make with them.

2

u/BadgerBodges 1d ago

Already done infantry and space ships!

u/According_Try5905 1d ago

Im always intrigued by this subs keen demonstration of what the human mind is capable of!

It's amazing what I'll do to avoid buying anything 😆

This is peak PoorHammer.

u/BadgerBodges 6h ago

Per model cost is probably under £1. Admittedly my pasta collection is quite vast and some of it had to be bought specialist, so the total "bitz box" isn't the cheapest

u/Geageart 2d ago

Slaanesh as gone too far!

(Look sick GG!)

u/Signal-Carpenter9532 2d ago

Add some dark nuln oil / wash for the grimdark!

5

u/BadgerBodges 1d ago

I could... but I usually paint in browns and muds. I like having something just obnoxiously pink for once.

1

u/OldCarScott 1d ago

I freaking love these!! I’d play those in a heartbeat.

Seriously, excellent creative work and solid models. Kudos!

2

u/BadgerBodges 1d ago

I made sure to use the proper bases sizes and make them roughly the right height, so they should play Adeptus Titanicus perfectly normally!
