My Warhound Titan. It's missing it's Inferno Cannon arm (Still waiting on FW to send me the part, 60 days now...horrible service!). So ignore the MIA arm, as soon as it arrives it will be painted .

What I need help with is details. The kit comes with several parchment/scrolls, etc etc and I don't want it to get too 'busy'. How much bling should I add and where? (Scrolls on guns...or legs...or?). It comes with clear plastic for windows/computer screens which I have yet to add...but I was thinking about using a green tinted plastic for the windows...thoughts?

The MAJOR detail I need to do is banners...and I hate to say this...I don't want to make them! (Usually I try everything on my own but this is an expensive to use a 'test' run) So, computer geeks out there...want to make a few coins? Post a reply here or email me at geiler@stjoelive.com for talks on banners/prices (I have EXACTLY what I want in a picture, just don't have the know how to do it).

The last thing I'm looking for is a name to write on those leg scrolls! I would like something with a hint of fire in the name, hence it's Inferno Gun (Not a popular choice but fun!). It's fluff is it was sent to aid in city defense of a FW with my Celestial Lions (Hence it's Vulcan/Inferno gun). Any non-obvious thoughts (Yes I know Inflammo Repentia would fit but it's rather cliche)?

Anyways, enough rambling...the pictures:

How did you get the dark colour? Bolt gun metal and black ink?

loved the colour on it, it goes really well, need to paint up my Warhound.

It's Vallejo German Grey 70995 airbrushed over gray primer. Then highlighted with Vallejo Dark Blue-Grey 867.
The metal was Vallejo Gunmetal Grey 70863 then highlighted up with various other vallejo metals.
The gold trim (Which doesn't show up very well in the pics) was Brazen Brass, then highlighted with various Vallejo Golds.


Awesome job on your scratchbuilt. I don't have the patience, time or skills to build such a thing .

Gidday mate. If you go and have a look @ akira5665's photodump(me) I have a fair amount of exp. in Banners, and would be happy to help. Mine are by no means brilliant, but the offer is there. And BTW-that Titan is excellent. Shame about the 'Inferno Gun' though..but it's not the 1sttime I have heard of this sort of thing. A mate was sent his minus the Hip-joints.

Very nice piece, well done.

I'm totally jealous.

Nice work.

might i suggest: "INFERNOS EST. EMPERIUM" as a highly flammable name?

Um, hey guys? f74 and Age of Egs? Thanks for the pics of the Warhounds. Any more you might have lying about we'd love to eye-molest!

seriously, those look really good. hope to see more of them!

Greets and thanks for the comments everyone.

I don't know what other sections to snap pics of. Perhaps in a week or two when the banners are finished and I receive the FREAKIN' INFERNO GUN I'VE BEEN WAITING ON FOR OVER TWO MONTHS NOW (Sorry, vent). I'll post some final pics then.

To anyone that purchases one of these beasts, I'll simply say Pistons. One day, many hours from now you will read that word and punch babies.

As to the name, I went with Cerberus..the hell hound that guarded the gates of Hades. It was suggested on another forum, fits the fluff this beast will have (city fight Titan).

So, two weeks or so and some final pics.
