Oh man, that is excellent work. No real criticisms to offer. Thanks for sharing.

SWEET MOTHER OF KHORNE !!!!!!!

Where have I been that I've never seen this thread before today ?!?!!!!

This is the most amazing titan I have ever seen !!! I'm stunned by the way you can take "everyday" bits and cobble them together into something that makes sense to the titan and not look like a bunch of stuck-on bits !!!

I am in awe !!!

As far as trophies or kill markings, how about stringing the main gun barrels of crushed tanks along a chain "necklace" sort of like a cannibal would string finger bones ??

Just a quick update today, got most of the green center platform done, and added the banners. I've been a bit impatient with the painting, so went with simple lettering and chaos icons on the banners.



I want to get the tail added on, but need to finish all the detail on the body first. Still way too much left to paint...

The banners are AWESOME. Thats impatient?!?!

Wow! Epic work!
Love the banners, and LOVE the Banelord!

Just remember not to rush too much
The project's turning out awesome!

I love the detail on this.

The paint job is looking good too.

I'm glad your painting skills match your building skills.

Kudos.

There's a lot of nice things about this model - nice work dude Only thing I'm not a fan of are the feet - they look kinda weird.

Thats better than FW great job!

@ person person - the original plan was to have elaborate Word Bearers iconagraphy and sayings in Latin or something. But didn't have the time so ended up going with the time tested scribbles and chaos stars covered in blood.

@ Ramos Asura and Brother Bartius - haha, I won't rush too much on it, I'll be happy just to have it done before October or so.

@ Lemmingspawn - Thanks, coming from the person who did the awesom Iron Warriors armor, it's a real compliment. The feet and legs have been haunting me since I started this project. Not enough pre-planning unfortunately.

@ FlammingGaunt - I'd love to see the FW version of a Banelord, I'm sure it would put mine to shame...especially after seeing what they did with the Chaos Reaver Titan (I'd kill for the arm they made, but it's on the wrong side compared to mine).

.......slowly but surely. Was able to get the Defiler claw pieces painted, as well as some yellow/black hazard colors onto the cabling.

LOL

Green Gaurdsman 1 fumbles with his las and jester's towards the oncoming titan "hey look at that, they've put yellow and black hazard colours on the power cables"

Vet Gaurdsman 2 pulls his chin strap tight "feck this...."

Gaurdsman 3 1/2 "Urrrr, boss wouldn't it be better if they where on the spikey bits on it's......urrr toe's"

Platoon Comander "SHUT UP i...i need to think..., mmmm right then uuurrr you men wait here, I'll go for help."

Sorry couldn't think of anything more clever for today's update title

I've been focusing on the banner top and cannon arm lately. I discovered that alot of my paints had dried out, so needed to run to the store and pick some miscellaneous colors (including Ultramarine Blue). First up is the wide shot of the crucified Ultramarine, the suggestion to make him blue is greatly appreciated. I think it helps bring out a relatively drab color scheme.



A bit more detailed shot, the Ultramarine icons on the hips are from the Drop Pod icons. I had to soften them up over a match, so not the smoothest job...I'm still painting the details and I'll probably had some damage and scorch marks to cover up the twisted plastic.



Also worked on the Hellstrike Cannon. I need to work up some dark greys for the barrels.



Another shot of the Hellstrike Cannon...



And a couple of general WIP shots of the entire body, lots of nooks and crannies I need to hit with the paint.





That's about it for now, I'll probably have the Battlehead complete next time, and hopefully have the tail attached as well.

The paint really shows up a lot of the details - cannon's looking great!

Coming along great.

Your too modest. Brag more.

MY GOODNESS!
What the that's amazing!
That will be one sight to behold once its finished!

Make sure that Ultramarine's a 1st company vet.

Looks good, must require a lot of paint though.

Keep up the good work.

Looks fantastic

(Un)holy cow!

Fantastic work on the model, paint job looks amazing too :O

That, sir, is a masterpiece. Well done.

Just so you know the titan power fist is designed to be on ether side at least the regular one is so the chaos one should be to.

Super awesome project! but its khorne...... still AWESOME !!!!!

Got bored painting red, so worked on one of the eviscerated Space Marines that will be hanging between the shoulder horns. The white balance on my camera is acting up, but the painted one is a Imperial Fist, and the other one will be a Salamander.

Awesome...

make sure to get some xenos.

I think maybe he like xenos more then SM.

No real preference, just figured since it's Chaos, they'd have a natural preference for Imperial Guard and Space Marine victims. And the fact that I don't really have any xenos models to use that I wouldn't have had to buy.

This is a massively awesome project , nice work !

The whole thing is amazing, i love that you used a Landspeeder for the head, that's genius, and your painting skills force me to hold my jaw in place while looking at the Titan. The banners are awesome too, as well the gradients on the hull, and the guns, and the dead Marine, and the ... kaboom ! ... *brain failure*

Keep it up

Just had the new Space Hulk delivered today...trying to resist the urge to prep the Terminators. Holy crap are those models sweet, I may have to buy a second box to get some cheap Terminators.

Anyways, still painting away on the Banelord. Nothing complete to show yet, but the goal is to have a good chunk done over the long weekend.

So when will this puppy see it's debut in combat?
