Hey...still looking great!

Out of interest...you've obviously spent a bit putting these together...drop pods...tanks etc...

I'm just wondering if it is worth breaking them down into shins, knees, thighs etc and casting them? Have you considered that?

Well having to cast them would be awesome, but also a hell of a lot of extra work so I think I'm just gonna pas on that one However I'm considering casting some of the crew, as this makes it a bit less time consuming and a friend of mine is currently in the process of acquiring a huge amount of mold rubber and resin

So who knows what I'll end up with

I got the other gun for the knight basecoated. I'm also working on a vulcan megabolter arm based on the one from the shadowsword kit, I'll post pics when it's done.

The Knight is truly awesome, your kitbash and scavenging skills are amazing.

The Titans look good, especially the Reaver cockpit, definitely a thread I'll be following

Let me add my voice to those giving you praise!

Well executed AND well painted - awesome!

Thanks guys, I've been working on my mechanicus force so the titans have not had that much attention lately, but hopefully soon they will
Might do a plog on the admech stuff as well, I currently have one running on warseer

Awesome! I love the cockpit details, and it opens!!! Fantastic.

Those are just awesometastic! Great work!

Thanks, glad you like 'em
This came in the mail yesterday, my custom made legio ignatum photo etch. Unfortunately I forgot to clean up the cog, so it's rendered as the pixelated pic but the etches are so delicately made that they don't need that much work done to smooth the edges out, the other detail are very crisp and awesome and if I ever order more stuff I'll probably do the design in photoshop instead.



I just finished putting some of the etched stuff on the shin armour and banner of my reaver, there's still a lot of detail work to do on the shins and the banner needs some more stuff done as well but it's getting closer.

So got a little done on the titans, so here's a small update.

The reaver:
I've ditched the wip cannon for the left arm, instead deciding that a lasblaster was more appropriate and looked way cooler. So I did the basic work for the 3 barrels and tagged them on the arm mount to take some pics. I also tagged some possible detail to the shoulders and have magnetised the arm joints so that the arms can be removed under transport/storage.






The lasblaster is still only barrels, that's why it looks a bit puny. this will all change when I get the rest built and put the gun shields on.

This is easily one of the most impressive titan builds I've ever seen. Very professional and "official" looking.

Thanks I'm going for an as-close-as-possible look to the FW epic Lucius Reaver, with some slight modifications

these are beautiful i always want to make these and never do! i should soon!

Wow! those are some really epic models, I really like the first one you posted the red really makes it pop.

I say go for it dude, it's a lot of fun And thanks a lot!

Thanks, the reaver will be red as well with a yellow head and probably some gold details and hazard stripes as these are always cool and fit nicely in with the ignatum scheme.

love it i spot a drop pod, chimera, leman russ
nice work man i am a fan of titans and i love yours. so you go for a LEGION so 58 engines or some thing close too that?

Considering the time it has taken me to do just one reaver and one warlord so far I'd need about 50-60 years to ever complete that many engines even though it would be awesome And there's the storage issue of course, hehe.

Here's a little update, did some gs work on the head, but it needs sanding so will show tomorrow when it's dry and sanded. Tonight I did the fans that go in the area under the round mesh that will act as a cooling system for the VSG's and I also added a few details like the targeting bay for the carapace weapon and the discs that will eventually hold the VSG's when I get around to making them.

Very cool! Can't wait for more.

Wow... Vision; Dedication; and the Skills to pull it all off...

I want a kit for this asap!

Don't hesitate to add lots of little details, cos' thats the thing which sets a fw titan apart from the average platicard one(not that yours are average, far from it). Great job, look forward to more.

hmmm maybe we should make a legio dakkdakka. that a number of members make a titan and that we paint them the same. maybe that way there could be a full legio?

o back ot i like your eye for detail very nice and cool

Thanks guys I'm glad you like it, and don't worry there'll be a huge amount of detail on it


So today I finished the head (- the crew) and got it basecoated I'll let the pictures talk for them self.

Scratch built titans, enourmous levels of awesome detail, and there's TWO of them (so far!?).

Has anyone told you you are fething insane! In a totally awesome way of course, but insane none the less.

Those cockpits are easily the most awesome part, going to that level of detail on a bit that usually won't be seen is a sign of true dedication and a level of epic win that I haven't seen on Dakka for a long while. That front on picture of the green-stuffed cockpit makes it look peeved as hell.

Seriously though, well done. Consider me subscribed and in total awe.

I get the insane comment a lot, so thanks
Well the plan is to keep to the reaver and warlord for now, but I'm tempted to do a Legio mortis titan at a point Maybe a opposing chaos reaver to meet my current one, but this is all uncertain and for now finishing these babies comes first
And the main reason for my passion on these two is that I don't game, and therefore need my models to be of a higher standard to motivate me. But I've got some friends that game so it might get lent out for combat action at some point... Maybe

Absolutely awsome work. I'd go with the clinically insane comment as well, but I think the british 'eccentric' fits better. Awsome, astounding work. Keep it up.

Pretty impresive work

Loving this thread. I really enjoy your use of the GW kits on the legs of the Titan. Subscribed.

WOW!!!!

Thats all i can say

You are one of the best scratch titan builders I have ever seen. Good work! By the way I noticed a very nice looking Admech army in the backround. Can we see some pictures of that?

these titans come with free sweaters for there creators and a trip on the koe-koe tain too the loony house where you get a niece padded room. thats my interpetation too call ou crazy too bad you dont game but he thats not everybody's cup of thee
