right now, I'm working on an Apocalypse Chaos army. and I wanted to have a little fun w/ it so I was planning on building my own Titan (I can't afford to buy one)

But right now, idk how to build one or what to use for it.

So any pictures of Warhounds, ideas for materials, etc. I would appreciate it.

Not a tutorial. Sending to the normal Modeling forum.

well one word Time it will take time also I find using PVC pipe for a somewhat Frame for them makes them A LOT more stronger when you strip them down for moment and so on also Bits box will be your best friend

Also used Card stock for a test before you cut anything more IE form Bord or MDF/Wood also please don't forget to take notes and pictures for the site and for your own records so if you want to make more you can ( somewhat of a template if you need them I have some ) also the other BIG tip I can give is NEVER be scared to asked for help if you get stuck..and remember

SAFETY...no point in having a good titan and no fingers... or worse eyes...I hope I helped..

PS my first post on the site...

This thread should help.

If I may be so bold, here's my thread on my attempt at building a Chaos Warhound Titan. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

thx Malivictus for the template offer, but I already have a couple so I'm good on that.

to everyone else, thx for the links.

now for two questions: how much does plasticard usually cost? and how thick should I buy it?

Well .040 that is 11" x 14" runs about $4.20 a sheet.

I'd quite like a set of plans, it's quite hard to judge from photos online.

I'll get photos when I start my Titans (I've decided since I already have the 3 templates, I'm going to try to build a Titan legion > ).

anyways, at the moment, I have an abnormal crazy amount of cardboard in my room. I was thinking that I get some styrofoam or something else, cut it into the shapes I need, then cover it in cardboard. could that work? or would that be a bad idea?

Foam core or plastic are the best for the sturdiness of the stuff.

I have a couple different Warhound titan templates. PM me if you'd like me to email them to you.

thx but I already have the templates I need. I only need the materials to make them.

I think titans are just the bee's knees. Seriously they not only look cool, but can really kick some butt!
