Okay, so a few days ago I decided to build a Titan. I was working towards a Warlord class, but looking at the size of the feet, it might end up being an Emperor class. (You'll have to forgive me if I get my terminologies wrong, but I haven't played or properly collected any models since the late nineties!)

Since I used this site to take most of my inspiration and ideas I thought it would only be fair to show you guys what's heppening. I have never tried anything like this, so you might have to bear with me.

I decided to use corrugated card to build the initial concepts, depending on how strong this is and how it holds out, I might even o te whole job with it and just make it look pretty using plasticard.

In the picture below, I have added a Space Marine to show how big the feet are. So you know, the guy in the picture is my brother with size 12 UK feet. The feet I have made for the Titan are a lot bigger than his, so by comparison, it should be as tall as him (over 6 foot). Anyway, let me know what you think. I'm going to be using beer cans (something in abundance with me around) to make the ankle and knee joints. The lower and upper leg pars are there just to show the height.

Peace out!

That'd be an Imperator, if you're going just by the size.

That's what I thought! But they look really complicated and full of cathederal spires, which I really don't want to do. I had the idea though, of making it look more like a fortified building, with cannon holes filled with lascannons and the such. If I made that sound right. Imagine an old fashioned castle, with ramparts and the lot, but instead of cannons and bow and arrows sticking out the holes in the walls, there are lascannons and heavy bolters and stuff...

Make sense?

Just an FYI, this section is for showing off finished models. You might want to contact a MOD and have them move this to either the BLOG section or the other painting and modeling section.


And you can still make an Imperator class, and not have all the gothic towers and spires and crap. I personally would, because I cant stand those

Cheers bud! I will do that, sorry. I thought I'd gone for the right section. I'll do a bit of research into finding a mod...

I'm glad I don't need all the spires and stuff, I don't particularly like the look of most. But do you think the whole fortress thing would work?
