Heres another picture to ruminate on while I search for the link.

I call this one "The last thing Blackadder saw before being squashed like a bug.

wow. where did you get that?

yeah, I stared at that for 5 minutes trying to figure out if it was a screen capture or a model.

It's real!

Oh it's real alright and I have some building photos to prove it. I've read the rules here several times and see nothing about posting links to another site but rather than break any rules, I'll just feed the images.

I took the liberty to increase the size of the images for better viewing. The construction images are only 300X250.

Heres a few building shots. All that are posted on the site thus far:

wow. the warlord titan is my personal favourite recreation of the Epic Model in 40k scale. I applaud your skills sir!

You know, the one thing I can never fathom, camoflage on an 80 ft behemoth..... just an observation. :-)

Take a look at what I found on the net. This d---ed thing stands 28" high and is so detailed as to make my warhound look like a cardboard box. This model is so incredibly detailed that at first I thought it was an artists painting.

What a fantastic model!!!

I have more images if anyone else doesn't feel inadequate enough.

Blackadder

HAHAHA!!! i am so happy to see that model on the net... it was made by someone at my local games workshop battle bunker and is now on display there... it was one of the most fun things ive ever gotten to fite!

head on over to belloflostsouls blogspot website.. the builder has provided a brief article on the build... simply fantastic...

This has detailed WIP parts:

Feth me...... And here was me planning a small Apoc Knight project..... feel everso slightly humbled!

Most scratch titans larger than the oft replicated Warhound very often look like a cannibalised vacuum cleaners painted like carnival floats. This Warlord actually looks like it actually has a place on the battlefield. As for the camouflage I agree, unless you paint it to look like Mount Everest camouflage is superfluous but I suppose it has to be painted some color so at least it is in keeping with the rest of the battle group. I like the camoflage theme in this case; kind of looks like clouds.

At any rate I'm awestruck by the sheer majesty of the thing.

After I get done with my piddlin' Warhound, I know what my next project will be.

Blackadder

now that is one serious killer titan. and i dig the WIP shots with the people on the weapons' walking spaces. puts you in your place then. just wow

THATS THE COOLEST THING EVER! ITS GLORIOUS!

I'm shocked. It does not look real even tough it is.

My god... whether we're talking about the titan you're making or the pictures of the various other ones you've put up, it makes me jealous and puts everything I've done to shame.

wow fantastic works, i guess the next stop is life size right =P

could we see a scale please

That is freakin' awsome...

excellent work so far buddy

Heh, When I saw these pictures, Panzermensch kicked on. Heh I can totally picture these heavy metal f-ers walking all over the board like 'Imma stomp you!' I just found my newest project...that will most likely end like the others one a quater finished. Say think you could send me a link to this big guy? I would love to see more, and keep up the good work on your titans...

That Warlord Titan is a thing of beauty. The textures and plates on its hull really make it work: no large blank areas that scream "I'm a deodorant bottle!"

I hope someone designs a Lucius pattern Imperator Titan like that someday...

Saw this on BoLS and nearly cried, incredible work.

Now that's what I call a titan!

I want to loot that.

I do want one. But where can a mere mortal store one of those behemoths? My house just isn't big enough, I'll have to build another wing onto my house before I can store it!

Lets see, a Warhound is approximately 50 feet tall I suppose that is standing still with the legs at a neutral bent angle. and the model is 10.5 inches. Now the modeler of the Warlord Titan David Smith states his model is 28 inches tall which calculates into 133.33 feet tall life size. granted not an item for a book shelf but an addition to the house shouldn't be necessary unless you live in a trailer park.

nice calculations, which would leave me at the general understanding that if mine is a the intimidating 30 inches, then it should be approx. 150 feet rl?

well you hav taken on a hell of a task and you deserve a medal for that and then considering how well it terned out you deserve a gold medal

I get the feeling that people are crediting me with the Warlord Titan. That fantastic item is the work of David Smith on a site called Bell of lost souls.

mine is the comparatively diminutive Lucius Warhound which at the moment is enough on my plate for the forseeable future although my son is already checking out prices on a Epic Warlord for me to scale up. I just was facinated by the beauty of a project extremely well executed and used my thread to bring it to your awareness.

I make it about 130. IA 3 puts the height of a warhound at 14 metres, or 0.75 metres IRL to an inch of model size. So 30 inches would be 40 metres, or about 130 feet.

Not that any of this should be taken as gospel mind you, just another estimate

if a warlord can be agreed upon to be ~30 inches in 40k format, then how many inches might an imperator be? i know it's somewhat off topic, but it just came to mind

well the one david smith made was not the 36" high warlord that EVERYONE assumes.... he based it off epic scales models and made it as much bigger then a warhound in 40k scale as in epic... i know... i fought it... and it is amazing o_o
