Epic!

It's a bit like bobpanda's warhound titan.

Well I'm just at the planning stages for my competitive daemons, so I don't know how soon I will start the project. But when I do, there will be pictures =)

Thanks folks. Bobpanda was pretty much the original inspiration for this his Werewolf Titan specifically. I wanted to see how far I could get with just GW kits though. He uses a lot of scratch built elements. Mine is more of a giant kitbash.

Look forward to seeing your Daemons as well buddy.

Yep, I'd say it does.

Glad you agree.
Changed the rear claw on the foot and added a couple more pistons, I think it looks better this way.

I'm really enjoying your titan project. It's all from a Defiler kit (so far)? Really amazing work. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the body of this beast....

Thanks Yellowbeard, Its mostly from 2 Defiler kits so far.

Someone on another forum had mentioned how much this has cost which made me realise I had no idea how much Id spent on it so far. Soooo I made a list

Checking my ebay past purchases and remembering others, I can for those who are interested give you a little rundown of what Ive bought.
The store I buy my GW stuff has a 20% discount on the plastic kits and most of everything else is bought from either Hoard O Bits or TheBitzStore on ebay.

Right here goes. Obviously its nowhere near finished but this is the list so far.

Defiler (full kit) x 2 £62 approx
Land Raider (full kit) x 1 £31 approx
Dreadnought Legs x 2 £12
Rhino Plates I had in my bitsbox so free Yay!
LandRaider Lascannon Sponsons x 2 £15
Tau Devilfish (full kit) x 1 £12
Basilisk Dozer Blades x 2 £6
Drop Pod fins x 2 £1.98
Storm Raven Hull £4.43
Storm Raven Tail section. £1.98

Total approx £146.39
As you can see all of the parts can be bits ordered and it would probably work out a little cheaper. It is a lot of money but nowhere near FW prices...yet. Plus I have the satisfaction of designing and building it myself
Ill try to keep track of what I spend from now on and keep you up to date.

If this is breaking any forum rules mods let me know and ill remove it.

dang!

Threw a few more bits at the torso. Still not received the Stormraven hull so cant work on it properly yet.

Wow! A lot of progress lately!

I like the way the autocannon feeds go through the headlight holes; looks natural! Also, that CCW (I'm assuming) is intriguing! Scale shot?

Will you be doing any hull work back by the exhaust vents? It looks a little wonky where the vents curve in and the hull stays straight.

Keep up the great work!
Rawson

Thanks Rawson, the CCW while I like it is a little too small for this project. There are a couple of other things I want to try. The back end needs a lot of work to make it all fit together. I haven't started cutting up there just yet as I want to see how the Stormraven hull I ordered looks. It may work better.

That looks...evil

Size comparison


My package from Hoard O Bits arrived today so I finished off the Termi's


What I was anxious for to arrive

You should definitely use this!

Oh, yeah, now I see it. That's brilliant. I was thinking of using a Stormraven for something like this, but i hadn't thought of turning it upside down. That's a great idea.

Though now, I'm not sure where the LR bits go....

Thanks mate. Im looking at it just now and this is what I have so far.
I havent worked on a head yet, I know I want it to look a little like the Banelord but less organic. its going to take some creative cutting I think
This is what I had in mind previously for the torso obviously with a LOT more work


But I prefer this.



With and without the Landraider top plate. Need opinions here please folks.

That looks amazing!!!!
I'd say with land raider plate. I love the feet and legs, nice and bulky, and very detailed. That circular saw you've done is also epic.

Love me some Hoard-o-bits!

The waist is looking a bit funny, imho. What if you mounted the hull a bit farther back? Maybe halfway on the angled section of the stormraven part. That would give a more low slung look and get rid of the Barbie waist

Keep up the great work!
Rawson

Thanks Tipios, I appreciate the praise from a fellow kitbasher

Rawson mate, I love your C&C you always spot things that I've missed and have some great suggestions. I'll have a look at the waist mount a little later today. Thanks again

Played with the hip mounting point.



For the head Im looking at taking cues from this.


And the inspiration for the saw.

The sheer scope of this project is really mind boggling! I mean it's one thing to build a Titan from MDF and foamcore, but to place all these little bits and put different vehicle kits together into some coherent whole -- I would be far too afraid for something like that So not only does it look fantastic already, the sheer amount of coordination necessary is awe-inspiring

That said, two questions, so I can better understand the general layout of that monster: Will the arms be attached to those defiler legs on the sides? And where will you be putting the head? Between the havoc launchers or at the very tip of the Stormraven chassis?

As for the choice of head: Great source material! At a glance, my favourites are the CC head with the jutting "chainsaw jaw" and the Khorne Skull Head. The Hound Head is also cool, though. As is the one resembling a Knight Titan. Ahh, choices...

Are the photos still showing up here? I can see them but my photobucket has gone really screwy!?

I really like the head between the 'weapon head' and 'corvus' head on the bottom row. Although I also like the skull one.

The weapon arm will be connecting to the torso at the shoulder there, Im still unsure if I will use the Defiler leg bits or come up with something else. Thoughts?

I cant see any of the photos :(

I can see most of the photo's only 3 missing.

I like the way the defiler arms look, and I prefer your first choice of head.

I dont know whats going on with it. I tried to delete an old pic and all of a sudden it deleted 3 albums I had. One of which was my WE. Problem is most of the pics of my WE were taken using my Iphone then once they were uploaded to Photobucket I intended to save them....of course I never did and deleted them from my phone. Bugger! Ive tried reposting the last few pics. Please let me know what you can see. Thanks

Tipios, Im going to try an dcome up with something similar to my first choice and to anser the question asked earlier the head will be mounted between the havocs with a slight overhang of the nose......hopefully

My pleasure

Biohazard wrote:Played with the hip mounting point.

I think this also depends on which head you choose. Warhound style head says more low slung. Skull or Corvus seems like it would be more upright.

Biohazard wrote:For the head Im looking at taking cues from this.

I personally like the idea of the Corvus. A titan is hard enough to deal with, but one that spews CC termies? Fuggetabowdit.

Biohazard wrote:And the inspiration for the saw.

So what's the plan now that you're not going with the saw?

Biohazard wrote:The weapon arm will be connecting to the torso at the shoulder there, Im still unsure if I will use the Defiler leg bits or come up with something else. Thoughts?

The defiler bits seem a bit spindley to me. This is a titan we're talking about, after all

Biohazard wrote:Ive tried reposting the last few pics. Please let me know what you can see. Thanks

I'm missing pics for your previous two posts.

This is the coolest titan I have ever seen.

Right after spending waaaayy too long trying to fix all the links I can I messed around a little with the Dreads second claw. I used 1000Heathens technique here and I actually prefer it to the Ven Dread fist in his left hand. I just need to find another Dread power fist and I can have them matching.





Rawson, I think I can make the saw work If i keep it quite close to the Epic one, the defiler legs would need a lot more armour agreed. The head I really like is the one to the left of the corvus one with the jutting lower jaw. Its still skull like (which will tie it with my dread) and I think it will work with the aesthetic of the 'Gore'hound. Im also thinking of cutting the front of the hull out a little more for the head to sit better (once I start building it that is)

I don't think the Corvus has a jutting jaw. I think that's a swinging boarding plank.

Heres the head I like,

I think youre right though Anvildude I think that is a boarding platform.

Can't wait to see how you create that head. The new claw you have done for the dread, looks so much more dynamic. Deffentley worth redoing the left to match. I really like the way you've inserted the khorne symbol too, wish I did mine like that now

While I am very thrilled to see how you're going to do the Titan's head, let me just take a moment to say once again how great that Dread is! You know that the one I just built was heavily inspired by yours, so that alone should tell you how much I like it, but just to be perfectly clear: That Dread RULES!
