I add bitz from my huge bitz box just for vehilces.... Scrolls, sensors, search lights, Seals, U locks, tow joints etc... enjoy

Long last painting of the beast....

I hate black primer But i had to do the legs that color first.....
well it took three coats of sunburst yellow to get that color( still have too mix sunburst yellow and marigold 50/50 for my yellow)
that two coats of blood stain red on the upper body and two coats of clotted red on the shinn armour if you noticed.
With Scorched metal as the joint color and Aged Pewter as the piston ....

Yes i Use Reaper colors( i was a former employee there so i enjoy there color lines)

**agnosto**

Hi, looks great. One question, what did you use for the hydrolics? The instructions don't say what they are.

**person person**

Nice solid colours.

**Lord Kaesar II**

Huh... Tow pieces on the toes... reallly. Rather, shall we say, interesting usage of bits? Oh, and that's a fun colour scheme you've got going, quartering it like your marines. However, I think I shall merely continue to observe this titan come to life and then judge.

**StarGate**

I cant remember the size , i went to the hobby store, and looked for different size tubing and i was testing them out... when i find the bags i'll post the sizes...

Yeah the colors are solid right now . But my yellow is still two bright come to the rest of the army. I need to darken it and add a wash i called the kitchen sink.( its all apple barrel paints).

Im still thinking should i make some type of art work on the side of the titan or not??

**person person**

I think some titan banners would look nice.

**jabbakahut**

For that price, and how fast you've pulled it together, you can't beat it. Great work.

**StarGate**

plus also finding a thunderhawk pattern, and making that too... im surprise i havent burned out yet....

**Lint**

Yeah, definitley some banners needed. Are you going to do any battle damage?

**Rose_Mountainz**

Love it, I should sugest some heavy weathering and battle damage, cause titans are mainly target number one for enemys

and because it makes sense for it to have been on many campaigns, keep it coming

**StarGate**

Oh there going to be battle damage.. IM stuck now on the paint scheme the legs and wings are painted.
But Now im wondering what i can do to the main hull, and engine compartments... a mural... of the battle of them loosing there chapter master??

Some tally marks of what it will destroy in games??

**Rose_Mountainz**

Titan-class kill counts on flags are popular and look great, I think also some history in the HG past (great victories or to honour the falen) in freehand on a flag would look cool and also ad something interesting to look at.. besides the thing caring it being a titan!

hope my tips help you.

**StarGate**

It does , I started camo pattern the top of the titan wings( in a block pattern)... and on the main hull under the wings Im going to do a mirale of a battle .... Since its already black it give me a great canvass... I just need some good fluff... I could do both battles were they loose there chapter master, and Head librianian, making it a vengence titan for them....

**Admiral Arkright**

Ummm... I know I shouldn't really say it, but why does a Marine Chapter have a Titan? Shouldn't this belong to a Titan Legion?

**nickt2245**

Who cares when you build your own titan you can do what you want!! GREAT WORK

**StarGate**

Ok you all notice its Howling griffons colors but ur also wrong too.... History of my titan here its been Load out too Imperial fist, Blood angels, Howling griffons, Angels of Fire ,Night Lords(pre Hersy) (hense the color scheme) and camo pattern on top... Ive included some of the battles and names its earned over its centuries of service( i did some research).

Hense the color and mural that going to be on the body of the Titan...

I have lots of Inscriptions to add to this beast now, and i have to find a Pre heresy Night lord Icon....

On the legs will be the Different Chapters that have use it.

**jabbakahut**

My Titan colors were inspired by Blood Angle Heavy support colors (for my BA army). I figure maybe they loaned it out so often they just painted it in honor.

With my banner, everything was handpainted, but then I made the mistake of using a transfer. God that annoys me.

**StarGate**

Ok Ive done some battle damage on the beast, and some greenstuff work on the back ( larrels and fonts). I havent touched the legs in a while..

Thunder hawk well i was building engines for it and then it dawned on me why not use Valkires engines and landing gears, and missles( so im ebaying those now)

**person person**

Like the GS work.

Although Pod Racer engines apperently make excellent T-hawk engines.

**StarGate**

Yeah I know pod racer engines make good engines ( cant find any) so Im bit ordering engines and landing gear and alot of other little things.... but im still working on the engines, there comming along great...( and also working on my assault army too at the same time)

**StarGate**

OK Ive been waiting for bizs to comin on the warhound( plasma barrel from a storm blade, the barrels from the mega blaster,blast cannon) Didnt want to make them all from scratch. So all my weapons will be GW parts, I recieved my heavy bolter sponsons, and heavy bolter turrets, death shrike missiles, valkiye engines and landding gear) for my thunderhawk.

Pictures will be coming up soon.

**Clthomps**

My Post has the Solution for engines.

**StarGate**

Thats were got most of the pattern from, trying to find the pod racer engines are kinda hard now since its been almost 9 years since the movies cames out...
Bur valykies engine do fine( plus there GW part too).

**WarPetrie**

Stargate your stuff is amazing im so going to build my own titian once i get the chance ^_^

it would be nice to make a Thunder Hawk too but i think that ill wait untill you made those templates and stuff

i like your SN by the way...that wouldn't be related to Star Gate SG1, Atlantis or Universe would it? O.o lol

**StarGate**

It was my thrid choice , I still post with my other two names on here.... StarGate is just my Marine name on here. And it for the Original movie, and i do like all the star gate show too... But I didnt want to be called enterprise either...lol
