Hi,

I started playing apocalypse games over the summer, in an instore campaign. Using a 5 Stompa army (having left all my orks at uni) and really got into the swing of playing with titans, so I decided my imperial army needed some Titan Lovin'

And what better titan than the Monstrous Warlord!





I haven't really done enough research, so I may have to tidy stuff up later

another update tomorrow or later tonight, I'll see how far Ive got

I'll stop playing M2TW when Empire Total war comes out

I've done a bit more, started the cooling towers, the leg grieves and the back

Razorbacks and Guardsmen included for scale







Next I'll start on the head surround

Kudos to;

and to

for their research and inspiration

It's 30 inches, 3 times the height of a warhound, twice the height of the reaver, not quite as big as in some pictures, where it dwarfs mountains or loki's Banelord

Head surround complete, upper carapace and cooling towers complete.

Again razorbacks and this time a WIP Warhound for scale (I need two warhounds and a warlord to make a 4000 point Titanicus Tercio)









the head is going to be tricky as the epic model's head is all curves and I don't want to waste my GS on sculpting something that big

Yeah sure Loki, Just tell me what you need

anyway I did some work on the head, in flat shapes rather than curves. I think it may need some more teeth.





Any opinions on the best weapons sets?

Currently I'm going for,
Vortex missle - one shot uber-deth-rokkit
Apocalypse missile battery - Apocalypse template blastyness
Gatling blaster - cos its a stereotypical Warlord weapon
and a Volcano cannon - 10" str D tank-killer

I'm making them modular so I change them if i want.

Great progress and good contours on that thing. I particularly like the head, which really makes or breaks a titan.

don't use the Gatling blaster, its 8 shots at a single unit.
super heavies allow you to fire different weapons at different units not the same weapon at different units.

about the vortex missile its not that great but ridiculously fun

Just a little update

Youbedead you've got a good point there, and I may build a replacement for the Gatling blaster later on, but for now it's just so iconic I had to



Also I'm having balancing issues so I've added a base to each foot, This should lower the center of gravity



But I'm also going to have to do something with the leg and ankle joints, I have to be able to take it apart for transportation, but need it not to take a nose dive whenever it feels like it

oh smashed models!

Will you end up basing it with both feet on the one large base?

Amazing what someone with time and skill can do with foamboard.

Keep up the good work.

Great work so far, the only thing I'd have to nit-pick about is the feet, they need to be bigger I think and have something jutting forward, I dunnono?

A couple of questions, if you don't mind me asking...
Do you have templates for that warlord?
What are you using to build it? (looks a bit like foamcore...)

@ Waaagh; I think one big base would take up too much of a gaming table, so I'll try and stick to one base per foot... Unless it keeps falling over!

@ Ziggy; you're not wrong about the feet, I hope they look bigger when I start putting detail on them, else wise I'll have to redo them

@ Azmodai & Loki; The material is foamcard or foamboard if you like. Its quite easy to use as it's light, sturdy and thick, and can be cut as easily as thin card using a scalpel. If you can find leftovers its free (shop display, etc..) but otherwise it can be up to £7 for a A1 sheet at an arts and crafts store.

I'll put up my plans in a bit

thanks

Sorry about the absence of updates, I've been back at Uni.

I'm slowly completing the armour plating, and the weapons. I've started the Vortex & Apocalypse launchers although i'm not too happy with the volcano cannon so far.

Thankfully all the weapons arms and blocks are interchangeable so I can upgrade any weapon I'm not happy with.





and the scale between warhound and warlord looks about the same as the apocalypse book

AAARRGGGHHHH!!!!

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been dead for 2 months, so I haven't done much to it, I got better though.

So here's a small update. Well there would be an update, but photobucket won't upload at the moment.

Update Tomorrow then!

Anyway, I've almost finished the cladding, and added the massive engine block to the back. Plus I've made the feet bulkier

Just need to finish filling in the gaps and doing the detail, then I'll start painting her

I need Ideas for name though.

I thought of a great one ages ago, but never wrote it down. The best one I have at the moment is the 'Tarvitz'

So far it's name is Jesus, as in; JESUS! ... Stop falling over!
