So I thought I might as well try and spread my projects to more fora to get mere feedback. I'm working on an AdMech army and was struck by titan fever. so here's my titans so far.

Knight palladin titan:







Lucius pattern Reaver WIP:






Lucius pattern Warlord WIP:




Well I know that fluff wise Legio Ignatum, being a Mars based Legion, should have Mars pattern engines. But when FW can go release new fluff for Legio Astorum and displaying them as having only Mars pattern engines even though Lucius is the home planet of the Legio I guess I can do the same with Ignatum.

Hope you all like my stuff so far

Why not make your own Titan Legio?
Anyway awesome Stuff
also what website would be good to get plasticard?

*jaw drops with jealousy*

What a sick project!! keep up the great work

Thanks for the nice replies

Well I want my titans to be red and be Mars based so it kinda came naturally that it had to be Ignatum, also I spend a lot of time redesigning the wasp logo and am currently working on having the logos done in etched brass which hopefully will be a nice touch on the models.

I get most of my plasticard from a local modelshop that sell aircraft kits and stuff and from a wargames shop here in Denmark. My best advice is to search for modelshops in your country that sell evergreen scale models plasticard, which is what I use and is superb.

brilliant, i shall be following this

Nice Work!
i really liked it after i saw the painted version!

You, sir, are everything I wish I could be in a modeller. My own efforts have made a Knight and a Warhound, but they're nothing like as pretty as your own. The knight is lurking in my gallery.

Subscibed.

Again thanks for the kind replies guys

Thanks I took a look at your knight and it's looking good although in my personal taste I prefer them with more leg armour but that's just me :p I think it's a real shame you stuck it to suck a small base as it makes the model look a bit tall and unbalanced, like a big bowling pin that could easily fall over. I'd love to see your warhound if you have any pics

Looking at the head of that reaver titan, I think you're completely insane. Keep it up!

Impressive work. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

warlords drop pod feet = genius!

Cant see your work while Im at work but if these repllies are anything to go by I cant wait to get home and look at them. I love titans, especially knight titans.

Ditto.

*shakes fist at people who don't use the gallery feature for awesome models*

wow, very nice. Good job.

I agree. It was one of my earlier conversions, when my abilities weren't inline with my desires. Honestly, they still aren't, but I can do better now. I think it's time for the Knight to come in for a 'servicing'. I am curious, though, as to just how big the base you have yours on is?

And yeah, I'll grab some pictures of the Warhound. It's a bit better than the Knight but still nothing like things you can produce.

Wow, they are damn cool! (now at home )

Excellent work.

Wow this is amazing. What materials did you use?

Again thanks a lot guys it's really nice with some feedback

I think that's an excellent choice dude, my base is around 12cm in diameter and is made from plasticard. Looking forward to seeing the warhound

Cardinal Xaphan wrote:Wow this is amazing. What materials did you use?

The knight is mostly a kit-bash and some plasticard, and the reaver is mostly plasticard. The warlord is a mix of kits, plasticard and foamboard with filler on it.

I've done some work redesigning the legio iconography for Ignatum, which I'm working on getting made in brass etch. The picture haven't been vectorized yet.

Wow the best knight and titans ive seen yet ! work of art . im gona try one now !

Damn, but that first Titan is impressive

CURNOW wrote:Wow the best knight and titans ive seen yet ! work of art . im gona try one now !

I'm really glad you like it, it is one of the models I'm most proud of having made He'll get some more weapon options soon as his arms are magnetised.


Did some work on the legs, mainly around the hips and waist to beef it up, also added a bit to the thigh on the inside. The latter on the inside of the shin has been modified to be the track for a lift that sits on it's stand by position just under the knee joint. This will act as a rig for attaching a maintenance platform for leg and lower body repairs and service checks. the idea came to me when I was playing around with parts to beef up the legs and I actually think it's a real nice detail.

Anyway on to the pics

Brilliant work.

Really cool!

Are the feet made out of drop pods?

Just echoing the status quo : Exellent stuff

manoknok wrote:Really cool!

Are the feet made out of drop pods?

Yeah it's a real simple and easy way of making such large feet in virtually no time.

Okay, now that is sex.



Lol, I have the same Cola Glass.

Awesome really like the knight thought.

These are really impresive builds, but the knight is the best at the moment

Hopefully the two others will end up as nice

Got the legs ready and under coated. They need the armour plates but I think they are somewhat done otherwise. Basecoat is black and then boltgun spray.

I do love the use of GW kits on the legs

Hey...still looking great!

Out of interest...you've obviously spent a bit putting these together...drop pods...tanks etc...

I'm just wondering if it is worth breaking them down into shins, knees, thighs etc and casting them? Have you considered that?

Well having to cast them would be awesome, but also a hell of a lot of extra work so I think I'm just gonna pas on that one However I'm considering casting some of the crew, as this makes it a bit less time consuming and a friend of mine is currently in the process of acquiring a huge amount of mold rubber and resin

So who knows what I'll end up with

I got the other gun for the knight basecoated. I'm also working on a vulcan megabolter arm based on the one from the shadowsword kit, I'll post pics when it's done.

The Knight is truly awesome, your kitbash and scavenging skills are amazing.

The Titans look good, especially the Reaver cockpit, definitely a thread I'll be following

Let me add my voice to those giving you praise!

Well executed AND well painted - awesome!

Thanks guys, I've been working on my mechanicus force so the titans have not had that much attention lately, but hopefully soon they will
Might do a plog on the admech stuff as well, I currently have one running on warseer

Awesome! I love the cockpit details, and it opens!!! Fantastic.

Those are just awesometastic! Great work!

Thanks, glad you like 'em
This came in the mail yesterday, my custom made legio ignatum photo etch. Unfortunately I forgot to clean up the cog, so it's rendered as the pixelated pic but the etches are so delicately made that they don't need that much work done to smooth the edges out, the other detail are very crisp and awesome and if I ever order more stuff I'll probably do the design in photoshop instead.



I just finished putting some of the etched stuff on the shin armour and banner of my reaver, there's still a lot of detail work to do on the shins and the banner needs some more stuff done as well but it's getting closer.

So got a little done on the titans, so here's a small update.

The reaver:
I've ditched the wip cannon for the left arm, instead deciding that a lasblaster was more appropriate and looked way cooler. So I did the basic work for the 3 barrels and tagged them on the arm mount to take some pics. I also tagged some possible detail to the shoulders and have magnetised the arm joints so that the arms can be removed under transport/storage.






The lasblaster is still only barrels, that's why it looks a bit puny. this will all change when I get the rest built and put the gun shields on.

This is easily one of the most impressive titan builds I've ever seen. Very professional and "official" looking.

ZoomDakkaDakka wrote:This is easily one of the most impressive titan builds I've ever seen. Very professional and "official" looking.

Thanks I'm going for an as-close-as-possible look to the FW epic Lucius Reaver, with some slight modifications

these are beautiful i always want to make these and never do! i should soon!

Wow! those are some really epic models, I really like the first one you posted the red really makes it pop.

Sageheart wrote:these are beautiful i always want to make these and never do! i should soon!

I say go for it dude, it's a lot of fun And thanks a lot!

The_Wicker_Man wrote:Wow! those are some really epic models, I really like the first one you posted the red really makes it pop.

Thanks, the reaver will be red as well with a yellow head and probably some gold details and hazard stripes as these are always cool and fit nicely in with the ignatum scheme.

love it i spot a drop pod, chimera, leman russ
nice work man i am a fan of titans and i love yours. so you go for a LEGION so 58 engines or some thing close too that?

fatty wrote:love it i spot a drop pod, chimera, leman russ
nice work man i am a fan of titans and i love yours. so you go for a LEGION so 58 engines or some thing close too that?

Considering the time it has taken me to do just one reaver and one warlord so far I'd need about 50-60 years to ever complete that many engines even though it would be awesome And there's the storage issue of course, hehe.

Here's a little update, did some gs work on the head, but it needs sanding so will show tomorrow when it's dry and sanded. Tonight I did the fans that go in the area under the round mesh that will act as a cooling system for the VSG's and I also added a few details like the targeting bay for the carapace weapon and the discs that will eventually hold the VSG's when I get around to making them.

Very cool! Can't wait for more.

Wow... Vision; Dedication; and the Skills to pull it all off...

I want a kit for this asap!

Don't hesitate to add lots of little details, cos' thats the thing which sets a fw titan apart from the average platicard one(not that yours are average, far from it). Great job, look forward to more.

hmmm maybe we should make a legio dakkdakka. that a number of members make a titan and that we paint them the same. maybe that way there could be a full legio?

o back ot i like your eye for detail very nice and cool

So today I finished the head (- the crew) and got it basecoated I'll let the pictures talk for them self.

Scratch built titans, enourmous levels of awesome detail, and there's TWO of them (so far!?).

Has anyone told you you are fething insane! In a totally awesome way of course, but insane none the less.

Those cockpits are easily the most awesome part, going to that level of detail on a bit that usually won't be seen is a sign of true dedication and a level of epic win that I haven't seen on Dakka for a long while. That front on picture of the green-stuffed cockpit makes it look peeved as hell.

Seriously though, well done. Consider me subscribed and in total awe.

I get the insane comment a lot, so thanks
Well the plan is to keep to the reaver and warlord for now, but I'm tempted to do a Legio mortis titan at a point Maybe a opposing chaos reaver to meet my current one, but this is all uncertain and for now finishing these babies comes first
And the main reason for my passion on these two is that I don't game, and therefore need my models to be of a higher standard to motivate me. But I've got some friends that game so it might get lent out for combat action at some point... Maybe

Absolutely awsome work. I'd go with the clinically insane comment as well, but I think the british 'eccentric' fits better. Awsome, astounding work. Keep it up.

Pretty impresive work

Loving this thread. I really enjoy your use of the GW kits on the legs of the Titan. Subscribed.

WOW!!!!

Thats all i can say

You are one of the best scratch titan builders I have ever seen. Good work! By the way I noticed a very nice looking Admech army in the backround. Can we see some pictures of that?

these titans come with free sweaters for there creators and a trip on the koe-koe tain too the loony house where you get a niece padded room. thats my interpetation too call ou crazy too bad you dont game but he thats not everybody's cup of thee

Oh wow this is really great stuff good work mate, very inspiring!

So for that, here's a couple of pics of the army, at least the part of it that is basecoated, I have about double as much stuff still as WIP for it More can be found at my warseer plog http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198681 36 pages of goodies for ya

Luckily, they haven't found me yet

Warlord progress:

I like that wee mecha- its very fast looking.

I love your stuff , , think it would go very well with my ( in production manufactorum ) ;-) seriously though , looking at lots of mechanicus stuff receantly and this is right up there with the best imo would love to incorporate some of this stuff in my upcomming comic, especially that medium sized painted titan thing, with the guy sitting in the head. what is that btw and where can i find info on it ? is it in the 40k rule book? only have black reach and mcragge and 2nd edition rules.

The mid-sized titan is a Reaver. The rules for that are in the Imperial Armour Apocalypse II, I believe.

The Warlord is looking nice, man. I look forward to seeing it finished!

I want that knight titan and the little baby one!

Thank you, I guess the middle sized one with the driver in the head is the knight ?? the one that opens up right ?? The yellow headed one is the reaver. The knights are a bit hard to find proper fluff on since they are not officially a part of the fluff, at least not in the game system as they appear in mechanicum (horus heresy series, by Graham McNeill) but well google is a good start for info or the old epic rulebook The comic project and manufactorum both sounds like awesome projects, and I'd like very much to see them

Hehe you can't, they're MINE ! Muhahahahahahaha

The detail you have put into this is truly amazing for the enormity of the beast! I mean the control pit (cock pit) is insane!

I got a little time on my hands tonight and thought I'd go head on with the apoc launcher for the reaver, and here is the basic structure. It's tagged on atm as I didn't have time to build the mounting yet. Hope you like it

So more updates, detailing has begun.









For scale:

Looking great!

Where did you get the etch from?

Great job! That is one impressive scratch build! If you don't mind me asking what are the minis in "cryo" status? I would love to see some detail pictures.

Keep up the great work,
Mike

Thanks guys

The photo etch I had custom made by a guy in France, The ignatum logo is my own re-design of the original which I found to be a bit bad, and needed an update.

The "Cryo stasis" guy is a princeps in his amniotic tank, I'll see if I can get some better pics

HOLY FETH!

That Reaver is awsome bud. Cant wait to see it with some paint. Very nice work.

How much did the custom etch cost? And does the dude have a website? I imagine other dakkaites would be interested in knowing that.

This is AWESOME!

Great builds man,but could we get a reaver,warlord,knight side by side for size comparison?

Thanks guys

Can't remember the exact costs of the etch, but wasn't much actually.

I'll see if I can get a shot with the Warlord, reaver and a warhound next to the knight

Just came across this blog for the first time

2 words

BLOWN AWAY!!!!

Are you sure you have enough titans there? I'm not sure you have enough.

Jks, i love your work and envy your skill.

-Alexgm101

No actually I've already started planing a chaos titan in my head, for when I finish these two

And thanks for the nice comments

Glorious. Out of curiosity, where did all those fan bits for the cooling system come from?

It's not the cost I'm really worried about (even with the falling dollar) does he have contact information?

The cooling system fans in the main engine are from the CoD Manufactorum, the ones in the two cooling compartments are fans from the drop pod kit

Foda_Bett:
I've mailed my photo etch supplier and asked if he'd be interested in more work So if he is you'll get some contact info



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Okay so I got an answer from my photo etch guy, and he prefers not to have his contact info displayed so PM me if you want to get in contact with him and get some etches done and I'll send you his Email

Okay so it's finally update time.
A lot of things have happened on the reaver, it is all done except for the torso, crew and banner and painting has begun. I've been lucky enough to borrow an airbrush so the painting will hopefully be less painful as airbrushing really is quicker for such a large model. Well enough of that, here's some PIP pics and the unpainted pics of the painted parts will be uploaded in a few days.

the head carapace, it has had the yellow completely done, and I'm quite pleased with it.




And the entire engine first without armour plates and then with. The torso still needs details before being basecoated and painted and hopefully I'll get it done in a few days time.

Your skill at kitbashing is truly mind-numbing.

Your Knight is is the best work I've seen so far. Please grace my thread with your insights and keep the Households alive!

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/339212.page

Great work with the Reaver, Nice to see you creating behemoths again.

Knight Titan is fantastic

Thanks for the nice comments guys

More painting has been done.

The head got itself a gold trim, which is painted with airbrush except for the final highlight which is drybrushed on.

with the masking tape still on:



Without the masking tape:






A size comparison with a FW warhound:



And the engine basecoated red:



And after the two highligt stages:


Feel free to comment, there's still a long way till it's done.

The head looks great! nice details as usual.

WOW! beautiful work and probabaly the best titan conversions I have seen yet. Where did you get the photo etched brass done?

Thanks

The photo etched brass was made by a French guy I got in contact with through another forum.

Have you posted rules for these bad boys? Quite interested in how the close combat weapons work.
Found this site if you haven't seen it already

http://www.box.net/shared/6nfuet600b

WOW! that is EPIC very nice knight titan BTW YOU MUST MAKE A TUTORIAL

WELL DONE SIR!

Okay so a bit long update, I've been working on some buildings and the reaver. Enjoy the pictures.
None of the buildings are complete yet, they still need some detailing and some shattered glass.

the tower:




The shrine:






The bastion:





The knight in urban terrain:



And finally, the mighty reaver:

Those buildings are great , the tower reminds me of the famous venetian one! They look kinda tough until you see them next to the titan and knight. nice logo as well

What a great blog! I'd really like to see more shots of the infantry you are building too.

Neil101: Thanks buddy, glad you like them

Migsula: Thank you very much, I'm a big fan of your work
I'll see if I have some time for infantry shots soon, I'm a bit busy this week

The army shot... what are those smaller walkers count as, and those tiny spider things... what are those and how did you make them!!!

Very nice work here man, loving the scratch-work on the titans ^^

And those smaller walkers - LOVE them

Sweet terrain Weathering powders are so much fun to use. The effect you turned out is perfect , and the patina on your marine statue is ace! Keep up the great work. And of course your knight has turned out great.

Mike

If you showed up at an apoc game with that, I would not play and start writing a peace treaty!

How did you get the rust effect on the walls? Just superb!

That is all.

wow, sweet I built a titan too, as a commission, a warlord, but I didn't get to paint it. Superb work there!

IronfrontAlex wrote:The army shot... what are those smaller walkers count as, and those tiny spider things... what are those and how did you make them!!!

I don't know what they'll represent as I don't intend to play any games with this army, it's mostly a hobby project as this allows me to build stuff and ignore any rules :
The small spiders are made from search lights from the ravenwing upgrade sprue with legs made from the radar disk on the sm vehicle accessory sprue.

well i might 'loan" your idea of the little spider thingies when i am building my ork force armound the mad dok. grots with a save madness.

o and your titans look ace as always i especially love the brass

Thanks guys, I'm glad for the support.
I'll see if I can remember to get some pics of the little spiders

A few updates, still not done yet but had the oppertunity to play with my brothers camera.

An impressive build with a good (even at this stage) paintjob. Excellent work!

your build qaulity is top notch as usual , i am sure vector rakiel would be proud

That's a great collection of war engines good sir. Any chance of a closer look at those troops? They look cool from the tiny pics haha.

Have you seen his warseer blog?
http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198681

I'm just outright in love with that paladin. I try to make one myself but my skill lies in the smaller scale scratchbuilds.

Very nice buildings, creative use of the COD parts, good paintjob.
I'm not so much into titans, but those are of course great too.

Thanks a lot guys, it really boosts my building mojo to hear such kind words

A small update, done some more detailing:

wow that banner looks so awesome! I started saving for the forge wold titan the chaos warhoud. there is something about a warhound titan that i like. especially since i started reading titanicus from Dan really great book.

anyway enough with the rambeling i cant wait for the next update. is it here allready? no ? paint faster

Hehe thanks dude I'll see if I can get n udate soon for you

I have a priority list that starts with me getting my own airbrush, and then maybe saving up for either a warhound or a reaver (would be neat with 2 reavers and a warlord ) I totally understand your feelings towards the warhound, it's an awesome model and a great kit as well I must say after building 2 of the FW ones I really want one for myself at some point.

I like what you did with the brass etch. I was never able to fully get behind the iconography for the Legio Ignatum, but this looks really good. I ended up doing mine LI logos cartoon-style, like WWII bomber art. Your way is much less of a headache painting-wise

I'd love to see some pictures of your engines TheDrescher, sounds really awesome

Very good work,specially the knight titan

Here's an update of what have been going on at the forges for the last while.
The mechanicus force will be escorted by some close friends on their top secret mission, the Iron Hands. So here's my small IH escort (That might grow bigger at some point, who knows ) These are all WIP's and the rhino has only got one layer of white on the hatch symbols and some interior paint so far.

excellent stuff.

Looking good~!

Awesome stuff - as always!

Any chance of some more pictures of that excellent dreadnought?

Especially close ups of both weapon arms?

Here ya go Alpharius, and thanks for the kind words

Thanks!

You've made the old Chaos Dread into something really, really nice!

How did you make the Power Fist arm/hand?

I'm glad you think so too

I made the arm from the original power claw, replaced the claw itself with the old imperial dreadnought smoke launcher and made some fingers from tube. then I mounted the DA dread shin armour over the hand as a guard.

Insanely awesome titans! I'm flabbergasted to the point of being illiterate...

Yep iron live up to the Ad Mech gods standards very custom and fun. especially like those gothic leg greaves( centre right )
and the ven dread.

Wow. Normally I'm not a fan of scratch-built Titans (the level of detail is never really there on larger Titans) but your work is superb!

I'm really a fan of the smaller Titans - the Knight Titan is really something awesome, and I love the detail on it.

I'm also really interested in the smaller models you've done - what's the thing with the four assault cannons?

Well, you achieved the impossible and made the Chaos dread look cool. Nice work, sir.

I would love to commend you on the dread with two two twin-linked assault cannons, but I am too busy seething with envy. Excellent work on everything.

Mind your step around the puddle of drool.... sry its all just awesome!

Love the dread!

Thanks guys - I finished the dread and undercoated it.




Some better pics will be up at a later point as these where taken in a rush.

The undercoat helps me see everything more clearly. It looks great.

I have been working a bit on the details for the reaver, these are still mostly unattached and sits with tag so far, so if you have any suggestions for different locations they could sit feel free to comment.







And a size comparison:

wow, perfect reaver

Beautiful.

I utterly love your Knight Paladin. It tempts me to scratch-build a Revenant, but I don't have enough bitz. Either way, it's seriously cool. Are you going to paint the driver in it?

Yeah at some point when I get around to it, the cockpit and driver of the knight will get painted as well.
I just got a lot going on atm

So I've been doing a lot of work on the warlord, it has received a lot of new "skin" in the form of plasticard for smoother and easy to detail surfaces. The picture of the rectangle is a top-view shot of the engine, showing the compartment where the tech priest will be residing (he is currently on his way in the mail from FW). The engineroom will have a lot of detail but I'll get to that later in constuction.

The head is nearing it's final shape and detailing of the interior will soon begin, but for now you'll have to do with the pics of the head tscked to the torso.








Here's a comparison shot of the warlord and the reaver, it's starting to look like something now.


And a shot of the reaver.


I also got my hands on this, the now OOP forge world opus machina.

As always, awesome stuff!

It is nice to see 'scratch built' Titans on the field, as it give me hope to one day being able to field one myself, however unlikely that particular case may be!

You can do it Alharius

Here's some interior shots of the head:

Got the legs ready and under coated. They need the armour plates but I think they are somewhat done otherwise. Basecoat is black and then boltgun spray.

Just wondering but are the legs made out of the planetstrike landing pad? Was looking at pic and thought i recognised some of the parts.

All of these pics look briliant i am tempted to try and make one myself.
