I second this proposal.

Good god. This is impressive. You're either a genius or a madman!

What colour will the finished product be? I thought it was going to be green/gold trim, but I've only just realised that you're not painting as you go (my first clue was the white pipes )

hi, it is dark green and gold, the body with basiliks in has been painted as i had to put windows in first, will be a lot more weathering etc once complete

thanks, proberly the latter

Phew, I was hoping you would say that! Looking great so far

not done much last few days, did try a dry run of buildings and weapons for the fortressand painted the plasma obliterator fr the top of the aquila building that will be the tallest of the fortress,got to make a building for the aquila to sit on and will be between the two large window buildings and will have stepped parts to front for fortress of redemption guns, all we have to be repainted as there in old colours from another project more to come in coming days, thanks for looking

Ah yeah, getting to the good stuff now!

Great work bobbuilder! Love your dedication to this project.

Plasma weapon looks great O.O
Yeah the cathedral is the bit I've been waiting for - that and the head/arms/rest of the titan

Are you going to use the Titan in a game? That would make for an amazing battle report. Not sure anyone would have enough firepower to take it on. But I would happily throw everything I own against it.

hi, was really just a modelling project but it would be good laugh to walk into a games workshop with it and ask if anybody wants a game

thank you, looking forward to doing the fortress/cathedral

so the plasma tower was a ex project which i took the windows out, so i had 4 hurricane bolters which fitted quite well, made a insert for the window at a angle so bolters had a slight angle to them, in process of repainting the tower

I just can't, with this. It's making me want to make a great gargant....

Mega Gargant, make a mega Gargant. Or two. Definitely need two to take on an emperor class.

Every additional weapon is a blessing from the Omnissiah (aka bobbuilder)

apart from the weathering which i am going to do all at once top plasma tower finished, pictures dont really do it justice to be honest, led lit but may change these to blue but for now i like the glow the green lights give, i'll try and get a better picture, next will be one of the side towers and weapons, thanks for looking and commenting

I have a load of those Plasma Obliterators lying around. I think they look a bit stubby by themselves and I was thinking of putting them on top of those Aquila shrines and making a mega-fortress and you have completely sold it to me that looks frickin sweet, great job!

thanks, and happy to help they fit quite nice,

This thread is crazy.

Crazy cool.

I love it.

started the 1st tower, adding a bunker for vengance cannon, front is from fortress of redemption, sides foamboard with handmade panelling, the floor is foam and chequer plate plastikard

I have changed my mind. Rather than a battle between this guy and something unworthy. Do a battle report of troops moving through it.

Such an amazing build. The tower is superb and you have gone over the top with the LED's. Amazing.

You sir are emperor class.

Wow.

And there was me thinking my build was big - I take my hat off to you!

so after a small break i decided to start dry fitting and making the central section between space marine statue towers and i rememebred i had a emperor of manking statue that was going to be a centre peice for another defunct project and thought it would look cool intergrated into the fortress, putting it between the tower with foamboard brick walls and then i can build back for support for aquila tower and each side of this to rear i will be able to fit a landing pad and large communications building, thanks for looking and comments welcome

That is such a great model I feel it should sit proud of that alcove, perhaps even with another level to the base He's on to raise Him up higher and make the Emperor more visible.

Edit: Nvm, can see them fine now

The tops of your towers have no roof access. Maybe add an armored roof exit or a floor hatch? I like what you've done with the space marine statuary in their recessed alcoves. That's really quite inventive. Overall your build looks like a massive undertaking. Keep at it; all projects can be finished if we strive to complete them.

thanks for comments, hatches ladders etc will be added at later date as will a lot of smaller details that are easier to paint then add and to make sure i'm not knocking them off as i make the main parts

Just keeps getting bigger and more epic! Great Emperor statue

totally agree, made a small plinth for emperor to stand on and alcoved wall to rear which will have a couple banners to each side, some statues to front, still got to make walls to side of towers, thanks for looking

Looks great! Is it possible to raise him up a bit more? Feels wrong to have him at the same height as petty Marines.
