Hi guys i got a empty sensation in the back of my head that can only be filled with something BIG!!!
i've got enough money to purchase a model but i feel like i want to make something, as i say money for materials isn't an issue.
something Big, Origional and impressive... Lay your ideas on me! (preferably not Tau, eldar or dark eldar please)
Thanks in advance.

**bubber**

The FW mamouth - you don't see many of those around.

**Lord of battles**

Trygon!

**giganught**

Mammoth ain't realy what im looking for, and now the plastic trygons out its just not origional enough. but thanks for the suggestions and the quick reply guys.
Any more suggestions?

Scratch-build yourself a fully interiored, insanely detailed imperator titan in 40k scale, complete with several floors hidden behind detachable panels you can have squad-vs-squad battles inside it while the main battle carries on around it!

That should keep you going until the urge wears off, or be the reason it does so

**DeathGod**

What kind of modelling skills do you possess before we go crazy and sugegst something that will simply frustrate you?

I for one would say a Knight Titan. There have been a few made here on Dakka and other places, but none that I would say "hit the nail on the head." They've been more along the lines of "hit the nail and it bent on me but I kept whacking at it and eventually the nail got driven into the wood." They've done the job, but fell just a little short.

So there's my suggestion, build a Knight that will fit my vision of one

**Bangbangboom**

A space hulk that you can double up as a board

**giganught**

Nice idea about the space hulk/board but im not realy looking at making scenery. like Leigen's idea and death god's as i recal the knight titan is just smaller than the emperor titan and the imperator is slightly bigger am i right?

I think the knight titan is more do-able what sort of size am i looking at here? 32"?

**Dragonchef**

Get a Baneblade and then Convert it out. Hell get 2 BB's and make one hell of a Tank.

**HamHamLunchbox**

full sm company deployed in land raiders in thunderhawks FTW

**Breotan**

Remember those big guns in Epic? The sonic gun, the six-pack strike missile guy? Reinvision one of those using baneblades as a base and make it phat.

**giganught**

Breotan got any pics?
and i like the super baneblade idea double barreled and on a hover chassis???

Could knock up a couple of special rules for that...

still like the titan idea though...

**bubber**

Yeah - 40k sized epic warmachines like the huge drilling bomb thingy would be cool.

if you twist my arm I might be able to dig some of my old WDs this week end then scan in some images next week at work.

Oh maybe a knight! I don't think any one's done one of those yet (at least not that i've seen)

**Dragonchef**

Make a Treaded Titan crossed with a Baneblade.

**Warboss Narznok**

MAKE A HUGE 40K PINGAS!!!

Knights fit in between Dreadnoughts and Warhounds. It would be the smallest possible walker with structure points in the imperial arsenal...

**giganught**

I suppose i should have answerd this a while ago, my level of skill in converting is relatively good, winged Azrael for my dark angels and a ton of tau battle suits they were my main converting guinepigs il try and get some pics up later today and bubber if you could get those scans it would be awsome, so the knight titan size it would be smaller???
about 12" or what?

**Albatross**

Build a Gargant.

**giganught**

Nah not realy into orks, i think ima go with the knight titan does any one have any info they can give me on scale, building materials etc or any tips from people that have made a titan before?

**giganught**

i dont know how to get pictures up so ive saved it as a file, is the knight titan the second smallest one on the picture above and to the right of the warhound?

**giganught**

Im thinkin this sorta size compared to a Warhound:

This is the "skeleton" as i will have some large armoured shin guards and obviously some iconography as well, as you can obviously see it has no arms (i will desighn later). Both this colour drawing and the black and white one above were both drawn by me on paint, i dont mind people using them, as long as i get recognition. Thanks.
