So I dont like the stirland mud for these guys. It's too dark.
I really like this color. Do any of you guys know what paints I could use it emulate this?

Titan bits ordered! Depending on when they get here and November's theme, I may even get to enter him into the painting comp!

Sounds good don't have a clue on the basing colour. Graveyard Earth equivalent mayyybbeeee?

I found a basing guide for regular 40k (eeeew ) and it may very well be steel legion drab.

Why not coat the bases in white then apply an earth wash?

Or a bleached bone equivalent. I'll have to experiment.

Speaking of basing... I'm using a new technique in which i put super glue on the base and cover it in baking soda. This makes it dry almost instantly and gives it a cool texture!

Ok, so I'm working with baneblade brown now. It actually looks nice! Pics later.

Yes. You do.
So this guy will be a feral, I'm using shoulder pads from the chaos marine set to give him (it?) that hunched and rounded look that the mars and older patter warhounds have, but with chaos iconography because yay. The legs are tartaros termainator legs from FW, and if you want to do what I will I dont think regular termy legs would fit (literally, physically fit) on the assault marine body. Enough rambling, here's the bits!



Also, I dont really like the old Space Marines nor do I have many and I've been eyeing up Troublemaker's novan line. I'll be using those guys for leaders and terminators, and maybe, just maybe, tacticals. Does anybody have any pics of those with, say, rhinos, so I can get a look at how they fit with the general 40k aesthetic?

So whose excited for the new Specialist Games?

Good luck with that titan! Although I'm mildly surprised you can't buy one from Ebay for less than the Forge World Legs.These from Critical Mass Games might also work out cheaper

It's a Marrok walker don't own any myself but I've always thought it would do.

The FW legs were four bucks so......
And I dont really like the old geedubs ones, expecially not for chaos. That guy would do well for an old version though!

Eagerly subscribed and waiting to see what you do with the titan!

Thanks!

Yup I am pretty curious too to see how these bits will end up working together. Keep it up!

So here's the top of the torso:



I need to figure out where to cut the guns, then I just have the head and legs! Easy!

Very cool so far man! I actually just got two epic warhound titans off of ebay last night and they made me think of this thread!

Not too expensive? I hope you post some pics of em when the're all painted up!

Nice start. Gelling together fairly well and will hopefully not look to like a Marine!

That's my main worry. I feel like the head and lack of arms will set it apart.

Well the legs have been GSed to the base. This is to give him footprints to give the impression on weight... Heh.... IMPRESSION! GET IT!?



And a quick n' dirty draft for the legs+torso+head!

Shaddap you know you love it!

Well it looks Impressive ^^ !
We'll get a better look with the guns, but Iam under the impression that he is leaning back a bit much though, have you tried other poses ?
Regarding scaling and differentiation from marines, making huge flags hanging from the guns might help...

Keep it up !

Pose looks a bit to upright and rigid for a Warhound but it's gelling fairly well.

Great stuff so far dude. The Titan is coming along, but I have to agree with Llamahead. He looks just a tad too upright.

That's the only way I could balance him! greenstuff and glue will fix that!
Thanks everyone else!

I would suggest removing the remains of the Imperial eagle on the Marine torso, and if possible swapping the feet for something else.

You may already be planning to do this, but running power cables from the weapons and head to the torso might also help disguise the Marine shape.

Yep, I'm actually working on the eagle right now. The cable idea sounds nice!

Also, if I make a second one, I may use the new plastic Cataphractii legs. Hell, I may even make a titan legion with em! They're so good, and quite cheap. So that's nice.

I actually thought the Skitarii Rust Stalkers would make an awesome base as well!

Oh my god llama yes! I own some and theyre quite small, so that may be a bit skinny for a titan, but I may try that.
