I haven't looked at this for a long time but currently it is dripping with awesome.

DON'T STOP!!!

Oh yeah, and nice job on the red.

Please don't paint him up as a salamander

what about a White Scar instead?

How about one from each of the big factions, sallys, smurfs, bluds and templars....and I suppose wolves mebbe.

It's still soooo cool.
Seriously, most scratch-built titans look too flat, with no texture or detail -- and thus, well, scratch-built.

Whereas your project bristles with chaotic doohickeys and whatnot. And as a result, looks entirely authentic and in keeping with 40K.

Convincingly menacing, in short. Well done.

Sweet mother of Christ. That is truly mindblowing.

I salute you sir!

That is, no exaggeration, the most awesome model I have ever seen.

And the painting is top-notch.

Man, your work is so AMAZING!!!!! I was looking in the net to found schedule of the banelord and I find your banelord! You made me crazy! It's an artist' work! So beautiful!

I've a question for you : do you have schedule of your model or do you make it only with your idea? If you have schedule, I'm interessed by...

So don't stop! You're great!

Thanks again everyone, the appreciation for the project is really helping me stay on top of trying to finish the Banelord. It will be a holiday weekend in the United States, so I'm hoping to have lots of pictures to share by Monday.

@Goliath - haha, sorry if you're a Salamanders player. I used a techmarine torso, so I'm debating between Iron Hands and Salamanders, and like the Sallies only because I think the bright green would work against all the red on the model.

@Dimside - Unfortunately I don't have a schedule for the model. When the Apocalypse Banelord pdf came out, I was lucky to find some plastic shells that were perfect for the carapace and leg armor. I have some intial sketchs I did, but my construction style is very haphazard, where I raid my bitz box and see what fits and work the design around that.

no schedule.... No problem!!!!! I've lot of pictures on your post! I may can do something with! Before the banelord, I wanna built a warhound, to train myself building big monster!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

thanks to answer me! And continue! I need more beautiful pictures about your banelord to built mine!

I don't know if these are common in France, but FiddleStix are a type of children's toy I used to create the framework for the legs and arms of the Banelord. They're fairly inexpensive and you get a lot of options for joints and length.



I don't know how much help I could be with your warhound/banelord project, but if you have any specific questions or want photos of the model, let me know.

Aren't those what we old-timers called "Tinker-Toys"?

Maybe I'm thinking of something else?

You are a sick and twisted man... Oh, won't, you be, my neighbor?

Wow that is brilliant!

Thanks Ratmkith, I wanna look for FiddleStix, and I'm still going crazy waiting new picture of your mona lisa!

Can't wait for an update...

This is the very pinnacle of the craft. I simply cannot fathom how this model is so clean, and yet has such a depth of detail. It is a model to study, to take notes, and to learn from. You have created a model that no one else has, and managed to make it look effortless.

Thanks for showing this, I can't wait to see it finished.

Thank you all for the comments, I'm glad to say progress on the painting front is coming along at a steady pace. I was able to take advantage of the weekend, and get most of the cannon, head and torso to about 90% finished each.



Here is a shot of the torso, I was able to glue the hip armor in place and start on the skeleton banner in front. I'm slowly getting the hang of painting bone, and having fun with the Citadel Wash (Badab Black and Devlan Mud are my new favorite things).



The head just needs some touch up in the back, before I can glue it in place. I'm happy with how the reaper autocannons came out, but unfortunately the side photos did not come out at all. Just glad the cow skull came out okay.



And finally the Hellstrike Cannon, for some reason this photo did not come out...not sure if the blue shield color throws off the model.

My plan is to color the banners either grey/white or purple. The grey/white is more subtle, but I'd like to use purple, unfortunately not sure if it would be too gaudy (and not Khorne enough). What do you guys think?

That subtle dark blue works perfectly. It makes it look like blue steel, or some very dark metallic surface and I think it fits in perfectly with the red and brighter metallics of the piece.

If you keep the purples rather reddish and warm and use them sparingly, they should work fine on the banners. Adding a drop of scab red will help.

Those washes sure are good! On the banelord side of things, this is awesome!! I agree with Morgrim in that the blue is fine on the shiels. Personally i would go with a white/ grey on the banners with heretical texts written in blood. I think you'd get a bit more contrast that way.

AGREED

It's...so...beautiful

This looks awesome, I got the old epic model of this somewhere.

It looks fantastic but something has been bothering me about the legs and I just figured it out.

They only have 2 bits, the warhound has 3 sections to its legs, as does the sentinel. I think that would have looked better as it allows the legs to fold under the machine if that makes any sense.

Anywhoo, dont accept critisism from me, I could never build anything like what you have accomplished.

Wow, this is an impressive Titan, well done! Your use of 40k vehicle components is nothing short of ingenius

Now, after reading this thread I have a hankering to start building a 40k Titan of my own...

Man it's soooooo good! I like it! More I see about your work, more I can't wait any more to begin mine!!! Your paint is ok, nothing to said, just contine! I like colours you choise, I think it's perfect!

Man, your a model for me!!!

Awesome best describes the new war machine for the blood god!

When life gives you lemons, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Thanks again everybody, apologies for the lack of updates...it's not that I haven't been painting, but it's mostly boring detail stuff that didn't seem to warrant photos or updates. I've been trying to finish detailing the legs and back of the model, as the tail is pretty much ready to be pinned on. While I'm not trying to be lazy or lessen the model, I am trying to simplify the painting so that I can finish the Banelord and move on to my other projects.

@ Coup777 - Thanks, I had never played Epic, so I had to track down reference photos of the old Epic Banelord when I started. My modeling philosophy is the path of least resistance, and whatever bitz work, so had to alter it a bit from the original model.

@ Sleazy - Yes the legs have been a bit of a problem since I started. I originally wanted to do the 3 portion legs, but stability and bitz made it impossible.

I'm hoping to have photos of the head and tail attached by the end of the week.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Got home today and was motivated to get a good chunk of painting done...luckily was able to get the Battle Head complete and glued on to the body. While alot of the detail ended up being hidden under the cowling, I have to say I'm happy with the results, especially how the cable tucked in nicely.











Now it's onto more detail on getting the tail pinned on...

Great work!
I love the way it has been built by leftover parts, just like a scavenged Titan for Khorne!

Amazing! Nice work Guy!!!

Just amazing work.

A fantastic job, Construction/Painting.

*Exalt*

As usual, fantastic.

You know it's poor design and planning, when your model keeps poking you. While I'm very happy with the way the tail came out, I have to say painting it is not very fun

Anyways, I got most of the tail done, with the exception of the weapon detail on the tip. I still haven't glued it into place, but I wanted to bluetac it to get an idea of how it would look. Here's a quick preview, hopefully the next photos will have it glued and pinned in.



I screwed up during building and put the armor plating on the bottom side. But I realized most incoming fire would be coming from below, so I guess tactically it makes sense.



Once the tail gets glued on, I actually won't be able to put it on a shelf. I don't even know how I'm going to transport this beast around for games.



And finally a full body shot...enjoy!

I think the solution is to simply play every game in your bathroom.

Toilet rolls as scenery, craters made of toothpaste, loosing dice down the drains, weird nurgle like sounds and smells - all good fun!

Added advantage - if I had to face an awesome looking Banelord like that, I may need ready access to the bathroom to avoid soiling my self!

Great work - inspiring!

Brilliant, the best thing ever. as for transport, don't bother coz no one will play against a guy with that baby.

You can buy a truck! It would be enought to transport that wonderful baby!!

Your work is very amazing, but I think the position of the tail is not the best.

In my idea, I see the tail in the position of a scorpion tail, getting up as yours but throwing the floor, because the weapon on the tail shots only 24ps! Do you understood what I mean? (Sorry my english isn't perfect...)

You're surprised that a machine of Khorne keeps poking you and attempting to draw blood? *laughs*

Magnetize the tail with some rare earth magnets , problem solved .

Every time i see this model, it just gets better.

Just gets better and better, great build man......

You know you want to!

Just a quick update, before I head into work. Finished the two eviscerated loyalists marines that will be hanging between the shoulder horns.

First is an unlucky Imperial Fist:



And then we have a poor Salamander:

Nice trophies.
The upper torsos do look a bit clean. I guess both were basically pulled in half at the waist.
The faces in particular are very evocative.

Just another poster here to say that this looks amazing .

Keep up the great work!

Awesome model so far, the trophies are a great addition.

Epic stuff is epic !

Cant wait to see the completetd version ... *drools*

good stuff,

p.s. salamanders skin is chaos black, not brown

DC

Those loyalist marines are awesome, even if they've been torn apart.

deadly chicken wrote:good stuff,

Yep. Caused by radiation on Nocturne. Pitch black with red eyes. Radiation means no hair either, but to be honest I've had enough bald and screaming to last me another lifetime

Love this thing. The reverse knees are looking a bit better than I originally thought, but they still look a bit goofy.

As much as I love the Salamander fluff, I always had a problem with the black skin/red eyes (at least from a painting point of few). I always thought it made the model seem a bit unpainted, and didn't make too much sense. So even though it's not quite up to the history, I decided to paint the Salamander with the dark brown skin instead.

Sides, if someone with pitch black skin lost that much blood, I'm sure they'd get a little paler and their skin would appear dark brown, right?

And though it's been said many times before in this thread:

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

looKs awsome

Valcatta wrote:looKs awsome

Seconded.

I've been a bit burnt out with the Titan, so took to organizing my unpainted figures and preparing my next armies (FW Drop Troop Cadians and BFSK Night Goblins). Among the piles of unpainted and half painted figures I came across the Valhallan Captain Chenkov figure that I decided to finish.

So it doesn't have anything to do with Khorne or the Banelord, but it kept me sane:



I used the GW matte varnish, so it came off a little bit shiny. Can anyone recommend a US based dull coat to use?

I use a Krylon matte spray. Got it at Walmart for about 3.50...

I just got done spraying my Orks and marines, and it works pretty well. not very shiny at all.

BlackDracoSLC wrote:Sides, if someone with pitch black skin lost that much blood, I'm sure they'd get a little paler and their skin would appear dark brown, right?

Umm... No? Would Grey not be a step down from black? You know, considering Black, White, and Grey are -shades-, not colours.

Also: Chenkov has a bad habit of running hundreds of infantry waves into enemy guns until they either run out of ammo or the infantry close with them. All that death and there must be -some- blood. And by some, I mean a lot.

So he's kind of Khornate?

Chenkov isn't so much Khornate as not all that smart.

And the Banelord is beautiful; the eviscerated Marines are a nice touch and I especially like what you've done with the talons.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but finding less time to work on the Banelord, even as I come into the home stretch of the project. I was able to get some work on the tail and specifically the Tail Weapon itself. As the game rules make it both a shooting weapon and a close combat weapon, I went with a power blade and lascannon combo. I still have some details to pick out, but I'm hoping to have it done and attached to the model shortly.



I wanted a color that contrasted well with the red, so went with a dark purple with extreme highlights. Luckily it also contrasts well with gold, so will be doing the detailing in gold as well.



The rivets were originally painted red, but the tail was looking too flat. I went back and did each rivet in silver and will try and add some weathering.



I still have details on the torso to complete before I can put on the tail...so hopefully I can get alot done before the next update.

I love that tail!!!

how did you make it?

DC

It looks like a seriously daemonised Drop Pod wing. Awesome!

That, my friend, looks amazing.

Outstanding!

Khorne is proud of your work now go slaughter millions.

That's amazing. Seriously, the time and effort you must've put into it....Kudos to you, and a whole lot of other things ...Amazing...

Awesome purple. I don't think I've ever seen anything that big painted with extreme highlights, or red to orange layering/highlight.

Oh, I can clearly see a mental image of this Banelord go frenzy. Awesome kitbash, nice use of vampire counts bits, and to mention the paintjob: loving it!

At first, I found the legs a bit big for the body, but the more I looked at them, the more I liked the overall picture. The addition of the tail balances the whole model nicely, so this is a 12 out of 10 build.

And those eviscerated loyalists marines, they should be lucky and cheering with joy to be hung up as trophies on such a beautiful War-Engine dedicated to Khorne!

Good sir, I salute you for doing such an awesome job on building this magnificent death-dealing behemoth!

FI

Thanks for the comments everybody.

@Deadly Chicken - Cosmic is correct, I took the fin off the drop pod, and filed the edge down to make a blade. It's held together between Predator Lascannon sponsons and random bitz. The tail itself has a aluminum rod base with the segments made of plasticard and plastirod. Rectangles and triangles pieces were cut in decreasing size and finished off with plastirod rivets and chaos icon spikes.

@ Person Person - I think the dramatic reds and purples definitely make the model stand out compared to some of the more drab titans. Although once you see the model in person the large segments aren't very forgiving and you can see the paint transitions aren't that smooth.

@ FerrumIgnatus - Thanks for the comments...the legs are a bit crazy, but once all the other limbs are attached I think it should work pretty well.

I'll be moving and on vacation over the next two weeks, but hopefully I'll be able to get a few more updates before then.

Amazing work, How long has this taken you so far?

this is friggin epic ..

Are you gonna sell or keep it ?

Don't worry folks, neither I nor this project is dead yet.

After a month of sitting idle, I decided to finish the tail and cannon arm painting and pin those suckers onto the body. While all the detail work hasn't been painted, trying to get everything was holding this project back. I figure, no one would be able to see the parts I'm worried about anyways, so I'm putting together whatever I can to speed to the finish.







Assembly on the doom fist still has a little ways to go...and then it's just a bit of painting before this sucker's done!

And apologies for not answering the last few questions:

@ WillFrost - I started around February of this year, so about nine months that I've been working on the Banelord.

@ Gretar - I'm planning on holding onto this for a while, I may bring it to the Los Angeles Battle Bunker and see if there's a spot in their display case in the future, but it'll be in my game room for the time being.

Simply awesome. I pitty the fools who battle against this beast... and those who go to battle WITH it. I mean, it suffers similar to the "Insane-Sane" table as a Chaos Dreadnought, but hey, that brings just more fun on the table!

Man you're totally crazy! Your work is soooooooooooo amazing! I think papa Khorne would be happy to have a so wonderfull skull reaper dedicated to him!

I'm waiting for more, going crazy in the same time...

You do know this is a 2500pt model right?

this is .................... bad ass

Thanks again everyone, the comments are always greatly appreciated.

@It - The photos are taken in the bathroom because I don't have a lightbox that can fit the model. Since I tend to paint at night, the mirrors help in lighting the photos.

Exceptional work.

Awesome stuff!

Lookin good.

I've just found this , I even read through all the pages, and already my brain is being liquified by the sheer awesomeness...............................

Yep...Face is thouroughly melted.

If i had to fight this... i would put up a good fight.

FOR ULTRAMAR!

It may be coming slowly, but you can't rush art!

@Disjointed Entity - Well maybe rush is too strong a word...quality is still important, but I have too many other projects I'm anxious to start on.

@TheRavenWolf and Blarglord - Glad to see it is deserving of some face melting.

I'm hoping to have the Doomfist done in time to take this bad boy to the Tanksgiving event at the LA Battle Bunker on the 28th.

ratmkith wrote:I'm hoping to have the Doomfist done in time to take this bad boy to the Tanksgiving event at the LA Battle Bunker on the 28th.

So Good luck man! I think we're everybody with you to finish for that event!

Nice work guy!

I'm glad to report that the Doom Fist is now completely built. This represents the last piece to be built, so after this, it's only painting that I have left. The Doom Fist was always the hardest component of the model to get, as I never had a complete picture of how I wanted it to look. So after a lot of trial and error, I added the teeth to the chainsaw, figured out how to add a thumb I was happy with, and add several hoses to represent the hydraulic and flamer systems.

Enjoy:

Sweet! A little confusing to the eye as it is, but no doubt a coat of paint should help. I think my favourite bit is the weapons on the back.

O.M.F.G. That is awesome.

Sweet Mary Mother of Christ!

The Doom Claw looks very very Doomful.
Which, of course, is a good thing.

Seriously, here too you show the same ingenuity, the same bloodthirstiness, the same twisted genius that has animated this project from the beginning. Well done, sir.

That is awesome!!!!!!!!

I bet most armies faced would that would beg the chaos gods to allow them to be renegades.

Like a mini Stompa CCW

+ Super Power Fist.

That should turn out awesome.

Wow, How much has this cost you so far?

Thanks again everyone, the Doom Fist has been primed, and is now in the process of getting painted. I've done a test fit and it's looking good.

@ WillFrost - I haven't been keeping a running total...but just off the top of my head, here's the list of items I bought new for this project. Everything else I had lying around...

- 1 Drop Pod
- 1 Defiler
- 3 Skeleton Regiments
- 1 Baskilisk
- 1 Land Speeder
- 1 Whirlwind
- 1 FW Khorne Icon
- 1 FW Khorne Brass Etchings
- 1 FW Chaos Brass Etchings
- 2 Imperial Guard Vehicle Accessory Sprues
- 2 Chaos Vehicle Accessory Sprues

wow I like the ragged chainsaw!!!!!

I like.

DC

Is there a chance you could fit speakers to it so in battle it could roar 'Blood for the Blood God'. The look on your opponents face as he himself would be hilarious.
This is truly outstanding.
Well done sir.

ummmm......
wow.....
yea........
wow......

two things
1 the knees would have looked much better the other way round
2 why salamanders theyre awesome

Thanks guys, painting on the DoomFist is coming along nicely. I accidentally left my camera at work, but I should have pictures later tonight. Once the arm goes on, all I have left is to add some armor where the tail meets the body, and then all the little detail spots I saved for last.

@belial - BTW love your photo...in terms of adding the speakers, it would be awesome, but my buddy tried something like that a few years ago, and unless the speakers are amplified, it gets hard to hear. But I am looking to add some type of sign (I have one FW Khorne resin icon left just for this purpose).

@Vulkan_He'stan - The leg design will forever be the dividing factor with this model :-) And nothing personal with the choice in Salamanders, it's just the green paintjob that best contrasted with the red model.

Amazing, just simply amazing.

I would just suggest that you have some desecrated necron or other xenos trophies.

Like some sliced-up Immortals.

Can't wait to see other finishing touches!

Now someone needs to make a Nurgle Titan.

As promised, here are some photos of the Doom Fist with some paint on it. Hopefully the detail is a bit easier to make out, now that the various parts can be distinguished from one another. I'm planning on on painting the hose leading to the flamer in yellow/black hazard striping, so it will take a while, but I think it will really pop out.



Here's the back of the arm with the weapon details.



Here's a bit more detail of the claw, hopefully you can make out the three fingers.



Luckily the test fit revealed that the arm is a snug fit.



And finally head on...

Here's hoping the rest of the painting goes smoothly, hopefully I can make it the Tanksgiving at the LA bunker, but with family plans, that's far from definite.

Awesome! Now just bathe it in blood!

This is a facemelting awesomeness ..

WHERES IS YOUR GOD NOW !?!?!

When you say 'make a sign', my thoughts immediately went to one of those 'rectangle on a stick' placards being held in the doomfist, reading either 'Blood For The Blood God!' or 'Rarghhhh!'

Something about a banelord holding a sign reading 'rarghhhh' strikes me as terribly amusing. I think it's for the same reason people laugh at a gun with a flag reading 'bang'.

Still awesome. Just absolutely amazing.

Once again..........................Awesome

Well, there's another pair of pants ruined!

*blushes*

Wow good sir i take my hat off to you.

Eyes dont look evil enough ATM.

Still...amazing.

This Pleases Me.

Amazing stuff, great inspiration as well be to sure.

Amazing

Happy New Year Everybody...and to celebrate, here is a long overdue update to the blog.

I'm happy to report that the network issue at my home has been resolved, and more importantly, construction of the Banelord is now complete. All that's left is to paint some details, and it should be ready to rampage across tables in no time. Here are the latest photos of the now, nearly complete Banelord.



Here is the Doomfist arm now attached to the model, you can also see the eviscerated Salamander marine chained to the shoulder.



Detail shot of the Doomfist.



Shot of the opposite shoulder with the eviscerated Imperial Fist marine, also chained to the shoulder.



Detail shot of the FW Khorne icon, I was very happy with the way the bone came out on this one. Just have the horns to finish.



I love these low shots...the last thing an enemy would see I guess :-)



One shot for scale purposes...



Another shot for scale purposes...what is that figure?



My fiance asked me to paint a figure for her, so I thought a female Inquisitor was the perfect choice.



And one more shot of the Inquisitor. Just a few more details and I'll be ready to close this blog.

I am having trouble maintaining perspective on this one. You did an incredible job...not just on the design and labor, but on the sheer force of will and focus to bring this concept to fruition. It's an amazing piece, and you should be quite proud of it.

What's next, a Chaos Imperator? It may not be practical, but it IS fluffy.

Again, great job. I can't wait to see pics of it on the table with other models.

Well, that's pretty much the greatest thing ever.

Damn that's huge... Seeing it (almost) fully painted really makes you realize what a monstrosity it really is.... Great work!

That is absolutely fantastic! A brilliant use of bits- I can't believe I've only stumbled on this blog now, I feel like I've missed out!

Only change I'd make (and I realise its too late) would be to reposition the legs so that it was striding forward.

Anyway, brilliant job- you should be incredibly proud of that monstrosity!

Wonderful! Truely wonderful! What's up next then boyo?

Pretty sure I just had a Khronegasm...

All i can say about the titan is...



The Inquisitor looks great too OTOH, The NMM is excellent and very Grimdark.

I like your Banelord, but considering the Banelord is generally 9 structure points, etc. etc., perhaps it would be better entitled a Banehound, keeping in sizer comparison to the usual titan sizes, lol. I'd personally have a hard time accepting a warhoundy beast gaining 6 sp just because it's Khorny

Well a 40k scale Warlord is supposed to be 24"-ish tall so it doesn't look to far of scale IMO.

Thanks for the comments everybody...you know you've hit the big time when you have motivational posters made of your work. It's greatly appreciated.

And in response to the questions of what's next, I think I'll be avoiding Titans for a while. I have a city fight table and an IG army that have been begging to be finished. I'll be starting separate blogs for those as well.

As for the Banelord, hopefully it'll be 100% complete over this coming weekend.

Links I say!

Awesome

omfg that thing will be so EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats for not only building one very impressive Titan, but for PAINTING it aswell. And very well so! I feel this needs special mention, for most folks build giant machines which end up to stay unpaited.
Great beast!

Man that's Khorny!!! Love it! Nice work!

Dimside wrote:Man that makes me Khorny!!!

My work here is done!

Thanks again everyone...

@Warflag - You are correct sir, building the Banelord was relatively easy. It's the painting part of the project that's been kicking my ass.

@Disjointed Entity - In addition to the finished Banelord photos, the plan is to have photos of the IG figures and City Fight table in the last update to this blog. I'll try and have vote of what you guys think I should do next.

I like the sounds of those!

My vote is a nice, sexy, city fight board.

I bow to you sir. That is Khorne incarnate

I know its been said before but....BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!!!!

Seriously dude, that thing is a god in model form. I'm getting the urge to kill and rend just looking at it. You are now my 3rd favourite Dakka user .

Speechless

Just seen this thread for the first time.. fantastic work; I'm very impressed with how it all came together.

Looks badass. Can't wait for more.

Blood for the Blood God!!!
Your titan shall be the avatar of Khorne incarnate

That is just WOW!

Awesome work, but when is the next update?

The projects over. No more updates.

Oh I wish this project was over...but I have that last 2% to finish before I can officially close out this blog. Getting engaged and idiots at work have kept me off the painting bench for the last few months.

I still have the following left to paint:

- New chains that I added to the carapace to hide the arm joints.
- Banner that will hang from the FW Icon.
- Power unit and smoke stacks.
- Tail joint and armor.
- Miscellaneous skulls and banners.
- The base

Hopefully some time will open up, but I can't say for sure. Thanks for everyone's support, I'll try and have it done and some awesome photos to finish this blog and move on to the next project(s).

I really like this, best banelord I've seen in a while!

However, the posing of the legs are so dissapointing. I mean...he looks like he's about to topple forward. I think one leg positiononed forward and one back like it is now would make the model alot more dynamic. Right now, it's terribly static, and for me, is being ruined by the legs.

Apologies Ratmkith, I thought you were done!
Engaged? I say, well done lad!
