Hi all

I'm back with a new WIP... the other one is not dead, just very slow at the moment

I am taking advantage of the UK pound verses the Aussie $ exchange rate... just over a year ago they were over A$700 each delivered... now A$500 each

So, today I ordered...

THREE Warhound Lucius Pattern titans from FW

2 x Wolf Class armed with a Vulcan mega bolter and Plasma blastgun each

1x Jackal Class armed with a Turbo laser and Inferno cannon

I intend to magnetise the weapon arms and get two more as spares for choices later

We will see how long it takes to get them here (I know Christmas time is a bad post time)

Stay tuned for updates

Mik

Before you ask...

I have had a hell of a year...

I am now married to the love of my life

My dad has had cancer surgery where his bladder was removed... not out of the woods yet

My friend, whom I let stay with us as a favour to him is still here (it's been almost two years now) and has taken over my game room... he had an overseas internet relationship and has brought her to Australia and they got married last week - so it should be soon... he's been my best friend for over 20 years and I'm a sucker

My job changed and all hell broke loose... I don't have a fraction of the spare time that I used to have

Yes, I'm still working on my 50K points Ultras and IG armies... but very slowly

And finally, the titans were always on my list... I just could not refuse the opportunity

Mik


I don't know how to link my other WIP correctly... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/221134.page

Wow... you're fething insane. I love it. Can't wait to see some super heavy metal love.

Made me think of the movie; You, Me and Dupree..

Back on topic, you ordered THREE FW Lucius pattern Warhounds with the currency advantage of Aussie Dollars vs Gb Pounds? clever... and suprised that your wife hasen't smacked you in the back of your head with a frying pan.. I'm eagerly awaiting updates and some juicy super-heavy walker love.

It is SO Dupree

And for the record... My (now at long last) wife, has been pushing me to buy ever since I told her of the savings, over a month ago... she so understands my insanity

Mik

Damn lucky you! You've clearly hit the jackpot with her!

You and H.B.M.C. need to have a apocalypse battle with pictures and a battle report.
So what job do you have now?

I've moved from 4 days on and 4 off to 5 days straight and the usual 2 off... I know thats what most of you do anyway, but it gives me a lot less time to play and live

It's not a complaint, but an observation... I loved 4 days off

Mik

Found out today from UPS (delivering my stuff) that it will be at my door this Monday (23) or Tuesday (24)... COOL

Mik

Sorry to hear about your change of, shall we say, 'status?'
Especially poor news about your father. Mine was also diagnosed with cancer 3-4 months ago and is undergoing chemotherapy.
It's not very nice at all, best of luck to you both.
Congrats on your marriage!
You're friend is probably old and ugly enough to look after himself. Kick him out and tell him that dozens of Dakka fans are being put out aswell as yourself!

To the topic at hand!
You do know that Warhound titans traditionally 'hunt' in pairs dont you?
I'd get another one. Three just doesn't seem enough!

In Epic, Warhounds were bought in groups of 2-3, so there's precedent for a 3 machine hunting pack.

Yahoo... The Titans have arrived

I am now a true FW nutter

I've just got home after overtime and the best I have time for... is to open the box

Pics will follow tommorrow

Mik

OMG can't wait to see this

nice to know i'm not the only one to save buying through Great Britian saved nearly 200 new Zealand dollars on my tyranids.

P.S wish your father best of luck gratz on wife

gonna watch this, I bought 3 titans this year too, 2 jackal and a reaver so I understand just how daunting this is.

Any ideas for which legion?

Hia all

Open the box





Titan birth certificate



Date on the camera is still faulty

Mik

Holy doodily. That is pretty awesome.

theres something almost pornographic about that much fresh resin isnt there?

Whats with all the AOBR and Baneblades? Do you own a shop?

Look up his other insane thread, this man is unhinged!!!

Titans all laid out





Titan weapons



All the stuff



Only ONE real complaint… missing part – 1x Servitor hatch

Mik

Ye gods that's a lot of boxes......

Have you washed the parts yet, Castellan, or just laid them out to check for missing bits?

Just checked for missing - broken bits

There's a few horrendous flash and gate chunks, but easily fixed... eventually

Mik

servitor hatch? I cant think what you mean?

I have built one of my 'hounds and dont remember hatches on the servitors.

Looks good. And you've made me want to start saving up for a warhound now (although I prefer the Mars Pattern).

Goooooood god... 'starts shaking and frothing at the mouth)

HAHAHAHA. Thats just dirty.

Whats dirty is the conversion to Chaos by the Teletubbies

Amazing... last night I emailed FW about the missing part, and got this reply tonight...

I shall place a replacement part order for the hatch, and get this to
you as soon as possible.

If you find anymore problems, or you have any queries please do not
hesitate to contact us

How good is that for a response

Mik

Great response but if i'd just spent that sort of money with a model company, and the product was wrong, I would expect/demand good customer service.

I was thinking... that 'everyone' who has bought a Titan builds it and paints it...

Although they are all different in some respect, they are the same nontheless

So, I thought that if I built one, then another, then another... it would be the same

So, I think that if I made all three together... in stages... it would be different for the spectator... you guys... also, I can speed things up for #2 and #3 by concentrating on #1 first and then doing the other two straight after.

Stages like... 3 sets of feet, 3 sets of Legs, 3 sets of bodies, 3 sets of heads, 3 sets of weapons, 3 sets of finishing touches

Do you like

Mik

And it's those 300 part feet that will forever stop me from buying a FW Titan.

Oh, it isn't that bad, right now I'm cleaning the 34 piston parts that attach to my reaver titans legs.
