The following took place between 5 PM and 6 PM on the 203rd year of the Great Crusade on the moon of Davin.

Deep rotten voice: Build me a titan worthy of my garden
Horus: What? How? Who are you?
Deep rotten voice: I am the creator of you... well not quite... uhmm, the creator of your new improved self
Horus: Huh?
Deep rotten voice: Never mind... Build me a titan worthy of my garden
Horus: You said that already... How am I supposted to do that? And who the f... are you?
Deep rotten voice: I am the creator of you...
Horus: Shut up!
After that Horus collpses and falls into a nice cosy coma until the Sons of Horus finds him and... well you know the rest.

The following took place between 8 AM and 9 AM 5569763.M31

Deep rotten voice: Is my titan ready yet?
Horus: Darn, I hoped you had forgotten all about that
Deep rotten voice: WHAT!?
Horus: Ehh, nothing... its not quite ready yet, we are striving for perfection. Everything needs to be perfect you see
Deep rotten voice: perfect? NOOO!!... Have you been talking to Slaanesh?!? It shall be worthy of my garden, I dont what anything perfect!
Horus: Ohh,,.. You have to be more specific in your request next time. Now we have to redo major systems and critical parts, sigh
Deep rotten voice: Ohh.... sorry about that. When can it be ready?
Horus: Well I dont know. I have to talk to the project manager, he has to call for a design meeting with all the sub-project managers and they have to speak to their system responsible and so on... Redo all project plans, sync all delivery plans between the sub-projects, plan new system reviews, have a new kick-off on all sub-levels in the projects. You see, I cant possible answer that right now.
Deep rotten voice: Ohh, I had no idea that this would be so complicated. Come back to me whan all that is ready.
Horus: Ok.

Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Yes?
Horus: You have a major problem
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: I do?
Horus: Yes
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Really?
Horus: Yes
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: How did that happen?
Horus: Its a long story
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: and?
Horus: Build me a Titan
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: What?
Horus: Build me a T I T A N
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: yes I heard that but how am I suppost to do that?
Horus: I dont know, you are the techie, not me. We need to show progress tomorrow
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: WHAT!?! I just graduated from school, I dont know anything about building a titan
Horus: Pretty please... I give you some beer
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Well alright... I call some friends together from the dorm
Horus: Great, you are a life saver
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Cool, can I get to be boss or something?
Horus: Sure, I make you head responsible
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Groovy

So.. are you going to build a Nurgle Titan, perhaps going to show some progress tomorrow?


Also I can't imagine that being the way that Horus spoke, i'm just saying is all.

Your going to build a Titan with some friends at school?

Hilarious! :-D

And everyone knows that Horus is the guy in black with the troubled breathing that says stuff like "I find your lack of faith disturbing" and "Thou shalt not pass." Not at all like your version. It's true! I saw it on TV.

I'm eagerly expecting the next update!

I don't understand

Groovy. lol

Letr see some pics!

How is this painting or modeling??

I think that unless some actual modelling content appears shortly, I'll move this over to the Background section...

The following took place between 1 PM and 2 PM 5248821.M31

Horus: Report the progress
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Well... We started up with a brainstorm meeting and we all agreed that we should go for something new. We
began to plan all activities and started up a fully agile development. System work, test plans, engineering documenters and specifications. We
then invited a representatives from Legio Mortis to review all the work.
Horus: Yes, and?
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Well, the legio did not approve of new creative thinking so they terminated the project
Horus: Terminated? Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Yea , literary. They executed all that was present at the review meeting and then wiped the planet clean
from life to ensure that none of these ideas ever re-appeared.
Horus: So we are back to zero? I want that titan, not excuses
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Not entirely...
Horus: So?
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: The Death Guard managed to capture a Forge World last week and we started up the production of a Reaver
Titan
Horus: Impressive... But we can’t present a Loyalist Titan to the God of Decay...
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Well, we will only use the basic construction and then add all the details we want after
Horus: So, what do we have to show right now?
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: A foot, well at least parts for the foot. Lets mock them up for you so you can see how it will look like
when assembled, it needs some more gap filling before assembly

Horus: Impressive. Most impressive. Now make haste continue the assembly or I will make you part of the titan
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: What? Why threats? You where nice last time we spoke
Horus: I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further

This is getting creepy.

The following took place between 9 PM and 10 PM 5248822.M31

Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Already back, welcome
Horus: You may dispense with the pleasantries techie, I am here to put you back on schedule
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Ohh, After your last moral improving speech, we simply stepped up the phase in the assembly work. The foot
is now complete
Horus: All gaps filled?
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Well, the assembly is complete, the gap filling is still left to do. Now when the foot is assembled we can
focus on the gaps that show. Hope this is to the Legio Mortis liking, I am pretty shaked up after that planet wiping thingy they did...
Horus: The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the God of Decay, if we don’t pull this off

So, you have a foot and a split-personality disorder.

It's a good start

Moving to Blogs.

I like this! Make more and faster - for the dark lord commands it and is expecting a progress report by friday!

The following took place between 2 AM and 3 AM 5248867.M31

Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Well sir, we have really done some progress now
Horus: Well I see, its stands sort of. What the hell is that black ribbon on the hips?
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Its tape sir
Horus: Tape?
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Its Heretic tape
Horus: ohh, good
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: There are still much to do, the side and back armour for the toes, knee pads, hip armour. Lots of trimming and sanding, gap filling and so on.
Horus: When can we some more building?
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Well, its will be some time, lots of things to do before we can continue. Lucky because the appointed commander accidently left the plans inside of the toes, and its now welded shut.
Horus: Commander, tear this toe apart until you find those plans!

Great work! Good for some chuckles as well!

Do you have a scale shot with an ork or a marine to view have large it is? So far it's looking good but I can't wait to see more details.

Chuckle chuckle

yes - keep on building we are watching

Gotta get me some of that sweetass heretic tape!

The following took place between 12 AM and 01 PM 5248875.M31

Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: What is thy bidding, my master
Horus: Prgress report,please
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Well we finished most of the gapfilling job and proceded with the knee pads and toe shield. We also added the rims.
Horus: Heel?
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: No knee
Horus: I see you have done the heel aswell
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Yea, we lack the back toe shield otherwise the foot is more or less complete
Horus: Shields, good its unwise to lower your defenses. The rims look quite rought
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Sir, the titan has no wheels
Horus: No I mean the rims on the shields
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Well, we have a lot of gap filling to do there aswell
Horus: Very well, carry on

Ok, quick update, no corny fluff/background this time.

Legs are finished, hip is started. No details yet, I will add all details when the titan is build, incl weapons.

besides being really weird, this post is proving to be really impressive.... The legs are looking really awesome.

Weird you say, I would say out of controll : ) Its getting harder and harder to find new darth vader qoutes to insert... : )
I am quite happy with the result so far. I have put a lot of time to fill all gaps and get all surfaces smooth. Kind of weird to put so much time in getting all surfaces smooth when I know what will happen to it when I insert it to the Warp and starting to nurglyfying it : )

Its looking good.

Could do with some scale pictures though.

Also, love the side story, you clearly have the same humour as me

The following took place between 8 AM and 9 PM 5248899.M31

Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Sir, we have really done some progress up to this inspection
Horus: Mmm...
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: Legs are finished, the hip is finished, all shields on the lower part are attached...
Horus: Mmmm...
Tech-priest of the Dark Mechanicum: "Mmmm..." is that all you can say?
Horus: Sorry I´m a bit pre-occupied. We are planning the finial assult on the believers of the false Emperor, and I have a bad feeling about this...



Pssstt... the pic is very zoomable...

Looks great, especially with that painting in the background.

This is a very nice build so far, and your plasticard skils are great. Can't wait for updates

Also nice to see another scandinavian titan, even though it's a heretic one

I concur! Best plasticard skills I've seen in a while! Can't wait to see it when you add the Nurgly bits!
