Hey guys, I started this Warhound Titan about a month ago, it is my first Forgeworld model that I have ever done. I have some pics that I took of it that I wanted to share...I modeled the paint scheme after another Warhound that I found online. I normally paint Black Templars and my first instinct is to always paint things black and then do highlights but I felt like this was too simple for such a beautiful model. Instead I decided to go red...the only problem was that I don't own an airbrush...so all of this painting is 100% by hand, no airbrush whatsoever.

The plan is to have him around for awhile for a few games of Deathwatch and apocalypse and then sell him back to someone who can enjoy him as much as i have enjoyed painting him. I will probably then invest in an airbrush with the profits (I got him on the cheap) and do another one that I'll actually keep. Anyway I hope you guys like. I'll post some more proper pictures at a later time when I have access to a better camera. I was just too excited to NOT post these pics though


I also plan on adding a proper base soon

That is amazing. I love the red and grey paint scheme. I have seen none like it. Great work!

Fantastic looking.

Let me be the first to say "congratulations for building/painting such an awesome model!"

Amazing job and kudos for the full hand paint!

Very nice mate. Would this by any chance be the titan you used the colour off?

Very nice paint job! I love titans. I have my warhound painted red as well. After the Legio Matalica, they fought with the Black Templars on the 2, and 3 war for armageddon. Still have to do some additional painting to mine yet tho.

well they do say 'immitation is the highest form of flattery' and I have to say (if Truffle is correct) that I'm chuffed someone liked mine enough to copy the pattern.

@brothervord: just to let you know the origional was hand-painted too; took me 5 months to build an paint

It was indeed the pattern that I used! Kudos to you for such a high quality and creative scheme.


You really got me to go outside my normal comfort zone with the pattern scheme...If I hadn't found it I would have been sorely tempted to do either a flat blue (since it's so much easier to get smooth coverage) or gone black like usual. I liked the pattern enough to try it out though. It's my first time using taped off sections to get a different effect. I know it's a pretty common technique but I generally stay away from painting anything bigger than an independent character

Warhounds look so menacing.. very nice model and great job on the paint.

That's awesome, I can't believe you did it all by hand, you have the patience of a saint.

Very nice indeed.
