Well it is a spectacular start. Is this going to be the Imperator Class Emperor Titan from Epic or a Warmonger class? Or somewhere neatly in between?

He's asking which class of Emperor Titan, Imperator-class, or Warmonger-class (the difference is size, since the actual design is freeform in this case).

Call it the Aedifex Exitailis, a Bobbuilder-Pattern [Insert type]-class Emperor Titan.

"At the point in time when bullets can pass through the interdimensional walls. When firepower takes up the entirety and eternity of space and time, all beings stuck in a neverending life and death cycle as bullets recover and destroy their bodies in quick succession. No one is able to think about anything but the sheer force of the bullets rapidly flying literally everywhere in the materium turning the warp itself into nothing but a sea of semi-automatic weaponry.. Then there will be enough dakka. Or, at least almost." -The Glorious God Emperor of Mankind

thanks for everyones kind words and suggestions, as iwanted to do some detailing under main body i decided to fix legs to it and also to see if it will hold weight of fortress or any other issues, welded and bolted into place, these will be hid in time and all seem ok little bit of warping on mdf on right foot but it is going to be screwed down to a dioram base so not a problem, started some detailing on leg decks with plenty more to come, for those asking, i have added picture of my stompa aginst the titan for scale, thanks for looking

Really amazing. Love the level of detail you are going to and am very impressed by the speed of your building.

You have a great eye for using odds and ends to make very convincing details.

Are you going to have a detailed interior (like the Princeps in its head)?

Probably don't want to be googling that either. That way lies madness.

I like it. Thinking its a war machine so any available real estate that can house a gun would be used. Even if it does conjure up phallic imagery.

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 )
